Hello from a Swedish Neo Geo Collector! :)

Hi!
Name is Stefan, and I just today found out about this forum . Sorry for only writing in english..

Been collecting Neo mvs and aes carts and other hardware for many years and its my alltime fav system!
Had to sell all my collection a couple of years back when moving overseas for a while, but now I am back and collection is growing again!

I have a big red 2slot cab waiting to be shipped from the US to Sweden also as we speak

Spend most of my spare time repairing arcade boards or tinkering with smaller electronic projects..

Thanks for reading a bit about me, now lets talk some games!

Welcome mate !

NeoGeo has always been called the Rolls Royce of the consoles and so it be for ever

It’s really sad you had to sell your collection, how many games you had ? Do you have pictures from your past collection and your new collection ?

You talked about small electronic projects, what type ? Like small portable devices for retro gaming

Welcome on board !

Since you're back to your former (video game) love and are swedish, here are some old yet delicious bars to wish you welcome !

Hahahah NoisilySilent, you killed and buried me

Hi Stephan,  welcome to neogeo-system.
I'm also curious to see your old collection. What was your master piece ? Did you sell it or do you still have it always close to your heart ?
Nice to have a new cab tech on the wiki !
Only US,  or do you love japanese cabs and cover too ?

Hi Sir
Nice to meet you...
Best

Hej!

Sweden remembers me the greatest moments of SK Gaming back in the early 2000's, when I used to spend 16hours a day on Counter-Strike 1.3/5, almost all the squad was swedish as you were skilled and overall, got the fastest internet connection on earth. :>

Welcome!

Welcome.

Welcome on board

Welcome here
But don't be fool, those guys here speak English like me, with a french southboy accent

Hi ! Welcome !
Cool for the big red !

By the way, what's the meaning of your profile picture, bytestorm?
I have some thoughts on the matter but a sense of uncertainty remains.
Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks my friend

The meaning of the Kanji 完 alone is usually "End" or "the end" in old japanese movies.. I prefer it as 完全 which means "perfect", But the estetics of the "kan" kanji got stuck with me

its funny you ask actually, because when I tried calligraphy a couple of times in japan, they allways asked why I choose this kanji . Most ppl choose "love", "dream" or things like that

Welcome !
Please send us a photo when your new cab has arrived

Here are some shots of my big red before it was loaded into the container. Its working with 2 slot included with pbobble and some other random cart

Thanks! Yeah I thought it was in nice condition. I have new sticks n buttons already waiting. It will be awesome!
IL Batsticks, IL buttons, cherry switches.

Great !
And no repair needed ?
Although I have understood you're skilled in repairing, which is quite mandatory for people playing on arcade hardware

Repairing arcade boards have been a hobby of mine for many years so hopefully I will be able to solve it in case an issue pops up .
It has no need for repairs what I know of, but I will see when it arrives.. I am quite picky so monitor might get a recap, and the non-matching sticks will have to go, and might aswell pop in new buttons and lights. I usuallt make a full overhaul when I buy cabs if they arent allready in good condition.. its part of the fun

hello Stefan and welcome here!
