The song "Oh, happy day" is playing over and over again in my head. The postman delivered a 6-slot Neo Geo mainboard with 7 MVS carts!
I already had Goal Goal Goal (which I don't like much, as I'm not into soccer), and one of my definite favourites; Puzzle Bobble. I actually also had a full Pulstar kit once, but I sold it before I knew that I would have an MVS mainboard in the future.
I already own a cabinet for this purpose, a very sturdy (and a bit strange looking) one from local maker Lars Berg.
What confuses me a bit, is that I have seen this being used with a 6-slot mainboard before, but I'm not sure how they could fit it. The cab has a nice shelf for the MVS mainboard, but the 6-slot is just too wide to fit between the metal support struts. I guess I can force it in, but I would frankly be a bit nervous to do so.
For testing purposes, I just left the mainboard rotated 90 degrees in there. I couldn't close the door, but the control panel still works, and I suddenly found myself playing round after round of KOF97.
MVS is a wonderful system, and I am looking forward to getting more carts already!
I'm very thankful to the seller, who after some years of persuasion finally sold me this great kit.
