New HDMI solution for (at least easily) MV1C board

[mathewbeall]

Hi Folks!

I saw this over on shmup today - marqs has modified his firmware to work on a NeoGeo MVS board (Mv1c board in this case) - he said its the easiest and will be updating his public github soon with the code and instructions!

This is great news!

I did this install tonight - it went without hitch, and was the easiest I have done.

The quality at 1900x1200 at 5x is just stunning - like the output this board does for CPS1/2/3.

Now I just need to cut a small opening in my OpenMVS case and button this guy all up!

Marqs hdmi board is just awesome im surprised that he got it to work on the mvs. Wondering if it will work on different board versions

He mentioned in his post that this Rev was the easiest to work with and install.

Not sure if you have a 3D printer handy, I'll be releasing the revised model for the rear plate in the upcoming week:

What part did you use to extend the HDMI to the back?

 

[mathewbeall]

But yes - I have a 3d printer handy, so this would be great, it means I don't have to cut a hole in the shell!

What part did you use to extend the HDMI to the back?

Right angle HDMI coupler:

Ultra fine monoprice 4K HDMI cable (1.5ft):

That's the smallest form factor HDMI plug I could find with as much flexibility as a stock IPhone lightning cable

I used this to route my CPS2 HDMI out to the back of my case, I wonder if it could also be used:

Edit: Maybe not - as not sure there is that much room in the case, I just ordered the parts you specified. I will wait for your 3d print files to be released!

And - the buttons - are those just regular long switches that you epoxied onto the backplate?

 

[avramce]

I can't find a single item listing, but it's the 15mm tall button in this set:

No glue or epoxy, the coupler and switches are all retained with a single screw and a bracket I made for the rear plate

 

[mathewbeall]

Can't wait!!! I was literally going to cut into my case this morning - glad I saw this post! Your solution is much more elegant...

 

[avramce]

Thanks man, glad that you and others are enjoying the kit . It's because it is 3D printed that we can easily change and update the shell when newer and better solutions come out, so I feel it's a big win for the project. We tried both the side mount options as well as the rear mount, both work, but I just took it as a challenge to see how much I can comfortably cram into the rear panel

 

[mathewbeall]

@avramce - I got that little kit, but the tallest in there is 13mm - did you use 15mm ones?

Hi @avramce - is that 3d model ready? I would love to get this all buttoned up tomorrow!

Thanks,

Matt

Boards have been restocked on VideoGamePerfection, I was under the impression that the component shortage would delay a restock to 2022, so this is a welcome surprise
