I was able to snag one of these off ebay and will be receiving it in the next couple of days. Owner says it it 2 months old and essentially new.
I would like to know what exactly I cannot do with this. I have read everything I can (yes the neo-geo forums even) and have found some inconsistencies. I think the hardware inside the Supernova has undergone revisions and might account for the discrepancies but not sure, so I ask you all.
The website (www.massystems.com) claims that the unit is CPS2 comatible, in addition to JAMMA and JAMMA+. What about CPS1 and CPS3 and PGM? Is it Naomi compatible? I believe it can handle Atmoiswave? Will most pre-JAMMA games work with an adapter?
If you can answer any of the following questions I'd appreciate it:
1) Can you get unusual controllers that will work (steering wheels, spinners, or guns)
2) Best way to store boards?
3) What are the best monitors for this box, something cheaper than what Mas Systems has listed on their site.
4) Can Vertical and Horizontal exist together?
5) Any boards known to be incompatible?
Thanks.
