I seem to recall old everdrives had to be connected the back slot, the later revisions seem to run just fine from the top slot with the proper adapter. I still have my offset adapter from we used to have to plug everdrives on the back slot

mk-2000 compatible version?

amazing, I'd suspect this wasn't a normal g-net game. Hopefully I'll be able to try it out on emulation at some point as this setup doesn't show up very often. Probably just as well I missed it as I hate getting into bidding wars.

like other said this is likely the flash chips, older flash mem was actually not very reliable. there easily identify witth a big old style intel flash logo

yes, capacitors can very much be used like batteries, U2 is specially a change control ic. U1 looks to be a simple tri state ic, sometime known as a monostable multivibrator. So this is looks like this would communicate state of the board but would actually store anything. So it doesn't...

Attached is the best picture I have found online, so if you were able to take a better picture of just the board itself that would be good. From this picture I can make out some of the IC part numbers except u3. I should be able to read a majority of the resistor band codes, my memory the...

I am still waiting for my gnet to arrive, so I guess I find out how long that'll be when it get here. If there some better pictures where I could read what everything is I would be will as well to try and repro it as well. Could save some people some$ who are g-net curious

both of mine needed capacitors replaced, just my first one had many traces and board sections ruined. My first board game came with bubble bobble III but when I openeded it up it appeared to be a bootleg version, so I ended up using the case in coming in with a f3 multcart

I too would like to know how/what the backup board does, I just bought my first gnet system but wasn't able to find one with one for a reasonable price. from that I can see in pictures it looks like a simple board... I see some cap, mosfet and two other ICs. It's hard to tell from low rez...

Have you recapped the board? My first f3 board I got had capacitor plague

mostly ebay, I wasn't aware of this forum/organization. It's close/donor only, so I just made a donation and hopefully I'll see a spinner pop up there once I have an account there.

where /when have you seen them for that? I can't remember when I last saw one under 500

I am hoping to finally get a spinner for my f3.... this seems to be the only option

Has there been any update on spinner options? anyone found something that works or is compatible or can be adapted?

Mine didn't come with a fan, but the audio heatsink can get very hot along with one of the CPU gets pretty warm on extended play session. My F3 is on an open shelf, looks like my LIONS case just shipped today..... SInce my doesn't have a base plate it sitting ontop on my NeoGeoCD, I am...
