What do you get when you cross a Neo-Geo and a Sega Genesis? A pretty vintage case mod. used a variation of the 16-bit console (known as the Mega Drive II) as the base of his project (http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=201624). With an original Neo-Geo motherboard and a few other components (such as a power indicating LED), the ‘Geosis’ was born. [Brett] removed a few of the unnecessary parts from the mobo, like the power-amp, and set it up to work with a regular 5V DC wall adapter. The PCB also had to be clipped so it would fit into the Mega Drive chassis.
Though it may not be the case, some Neo-Geo motherboards in circulation have been salvaged from arcade machines. An enclosure would be essential for protecting them during standalone use – something [Brett] plans to do a lot.
