What do you get when you cross a Neo-Geo and a Sega Genesis? A pretty vintage case mod. [Brett] used a variation of the 16-bit console (known asÂ*the Mega Drive II) as the base of his project. With an original Neo-Geo motherboard and aÂ*few other components (such as a power indicatingÂ*LED),Â*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 inÂ*circulation have been salvaged from arcade machines.Â*An enclosure would be essential for protecting themÂ*duringÂ*standalone use – something [Brett] plans to do a lot.
