I recently purchased the latest revision of !ARCADE!'s
Phantom-1 from a fellow member on Neo-Geo.com
. For those that are wandering what a Phantom-1 is it is basically an
adaptor device that allows one to play Neo Geo MVS arcade cartridges using
a home Neo Geo Console. Cool, huh?
The Phantom-1 adaptor has been working flawlessly. The only negative
about the adaptor is that it can be a bit troublesome to line it up when
inserting the thing in the home system cartridge slot. Wolf, a long time
member of Neo-Geo.com, came up with a brilliant idea to correct this shortcoming
for an otherwise superb product. Find a suitable home cartridge shell,
cut off the top, and use it as a shell for the Phantom-1! Now my Phantom-1
slides into the home system slot as easily as a home cartridge. Sweet.
Here's the Phantom-1 placed into the bottom piece of the cartridge shell
after cutting off the top of the cartridge. Note how the Phantom-1 holes
lined up perfectly with the cartridge posts!
Note that a portion of the front of the cart casing had to be cut out
for the video jacks.
I decided to glue a piece of tappered rubber molding around the top of
the cartridge. I think it looks cool. Plus, it covers up the jagged hacksaw
cut marks. ;-)
Now for a sticker!
And finally, here's what it looks like after inserting an MVS cartrdige
into to topof the Phantom-1 and the Phantom-1 into the home console cartridge
slot.
Oh, and here is the label...
-- Tiptonium Out...
