+Richard Evans I can certainly do an overview of the BIOS. It's cool because it has a built in BIOS that works so similarly to the UniBIOS. You can switch language, and region whenever you want.

Now are the PS2 ports of the Atomiswave games arcade perfect ? I’ve heard some say they are and some say there not I must know, because I own the Japanese PS2 versions of the home ports of the Atomiswave
Question, for KOF do you need the Expansion I/O port in order to get all of the buttons to work via standard JAMMA and Kickharness (Like I have with my Naomi)?
I'm looking to start collecting in your opinion where should I start, should I go after a cab or buy a bios board and games then build n own cabinet to hold the board
Hi Jarrod! Love your videos man! Hey - Have you ever seen an Atomiswave motherboard with NO Atomiswave Logo on it and no "Powered By Sammy" on it either? Like these are brand New "unused" motherboards but they are missing those ? I saw an ebay listing for New ones...it looks real but there is no markings on it except the yellow caution label and a barcode...
+Project COE cool super review man arcade games the best please next fist of the north star atomiswave and some pgm arcade games demon front and others awesome job man!
Great system (with a new fan ^^). If you have a nice run n gun/shmup/plate form/vs fighting...in 31 khz.. I looking for some great oldschool style. Thanks.
This and the PGM are on my bucket list of systems I want to collect for. I never had a chance to play the actual AtomisWave hardware. Oh, outstanding job on Last Blade 2, btw.
+snkneogeoman Thanks Sal. I have reviews of all the SNK published games on the Atomiswave wave already queued up and ready to go. I am missing about 5 more games I would love to own, but alas no one seems to be selling them for decent prices. The next board I'll be looking at is either the PGM or the PGM2. My objective for 2016 is to make it to around May reviewing nothing but arcade games :D
+snkneogeoman Same here Sal. I like the Atomiswave and the games that were developed for it. Too bad it had a short life. But they sue made some great games for it! Anthony...
+Kevin Thompson Hey Kevin, I've decided to skip the PB3, and just move to the PB4. Sound good? It was released in October, and offers 125 more games, as well as a bunch of updates.
Well you dont see that every day. I'm not up on my arcade hardware. I have heard of Jamma etc but not heard about this before. Expensive or reasonable game prices?
+Mortal Porcupine Haha, it's arcade hardware my man, is there really such a thing as reasonable? The problem here is that just about all of the non-SNK produced games are exclusive to the platform and haven't been released elsewhere, meaning the prices can reach insane levels. That being said, if you join arcade boards and get to know people, you can usually score the games for somewhat reasonable prices. Notice I said somewhat haha.
Hi Jarrod, I Just posted this on the Neo-Geo thread for you as well. Page 95, post # 2352. atariage.com/forums/topic/223548-the-official-neo-geo-thread/page-95#entry3419596 Thank you as always. Anthony...
This thing is Rad ! So you use a super gun to hook up the controllers right ? I think you said the games use 5 / 6 button , so Neo Geo controllers probably would not cut it I'm guessing..... And that looks like a weird stereo out cable...you should do a new video of how you hook up your controllers / and Audio / Video for Atomis noobs like me lol. Cool !
The SuperGun allows you to connect the JAMMA harness and controllers. A lot of Atomiswave games use 4 buttons, heck some even use 3 buttons so you're fine to use Neo Geo sticks, however what I do is I use my Saturn converter and use my HSS-0130 ;) I can do a short instructional video if you'd prefer.
Sure man, this Jamma / Atomis / Arcade board stuff is fascinating !!! and there seems to be ALOT to learn lol... so you are just using the VGA out of the Atomis into your XRGB, and that funky looking audio port near the VGA port ?( almost looks like an ethernet port or something ).....so in this case the Jamma Harness is mainly just for your controllers or am I way off ? THANKS !
There are two ways you can do it. The easiest is to simply connect the JAMMA harness to the SuperGun for everything, however you lose the VGA signal and stereo sound.
Got ya , Jamma is only mono . That is unfortunate , but i guess it makes sense since typically the speakers on an Arcade Cabinet are directly in front of your face lol...
As a kid in the 80's and 90's,pumping quarters into cabs,it's awesome seeing the bad assery that lied beneath the surface!Really cool video!
Thanks :D
and now some of the games are being ported to the dreamcast.... which is awesome
almost all freeze during play on my clone gdemu, no luck even trying out with all sorts of branded sd cards

atomiswave is such a cool name
great analysis.
Thanks :)
Great info on explaining about this great arcade machine . I actually own a version converted to play on a home tv . Such an awesome system.
It sure if a great system. Too few people know much about it.
Look forward to seeing and learning more about this system Jarrod. Would be good to see the bios and dips as well as game reviews :)
+Richard Evans I can certainly do an overview of the BIOS. It's cool because it has a built in BIOS that works so similarly to the UniBIOS. You can switch language, and region whenever you want.

Sweet,jarrod. Look forward to seeing some 'wave love.

+viewtifuljoe99 It all starts tomorrow at 5AM Eastern :)
So what exactly do we look for if we open the cart to see if it's genuine? You never mentioned.
Hello! , You have some guide link to fix tipical problems with that hardware? Like the problem with i/o controllers yo say in video.
I'm looking to start collecting in your opinion where should I start, should I go after a cab or buy a bios board and games then build n own cabinet to hold the board
If you can find a complete cab, go for it, but they're getting harder and harder to find these days.

How to identify authentic & bootleg atomiswave cartridge after opening? Please enlighten me. Is there any scan site like mvs scans?
This thread should start to point you in the right direction: www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?225056-Atomiswave-Bootleg-Carts
Excellent review, very informative!
+GrainJB Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed :D
How do you hook it up to a arcade cabinet
Some of the best forgotten fighting games came out on this board. The Rumble Fish 2 is probably the best on the system.
Indeed, and one I still have to get my hands on.
This and the PGM are on my bucket list of systems I want to collect for. I never had a chance to play the actual AtomisWave hardware. Oh, outstanding job on Last Blade 2, btw.

Will you do a review of the Game king and Pandora's box 3?
+Kevin Thompson If that's something you'd be interested in seeing, sure thing.
+Kevin Thompson Hey Kevin, I've decided to skip the PB3, and just move to the PB4. Sound good? It was released in October, and offers 125 more games, as well as a bunch of updates.
This is cool but by 2003 I was done w arcades. 80s and 90s were my hayday.
Well you dont see that every day. I'm not up on my arcade hardware. I have heard of Jamma etc but not heard about this before. Expensive or reasonable game prices?
+Mortal Porcupine Haha, it's arcade hardware my man, is there really such a thing as reasonable?

That being said, if you join arcade boards and get to know people, you can usually score the games for somewhat reasonable prices. Notice I said somewhat haha.
that's a beautyful machine but unfortunately the cartridges are so expensive. its hard to setup a net boot to it like we do on Naomi stuff
How do i get one?
always wanted one of these.... cool video! At least most of the games made it elsewhere
All except for Dolphin Blue damn it! Would love to have that released elsewhere and with a locked framerate.
How do you hook it up to your tv? What controllers do you use? If this is a buyer's guide cover the basics man
On his supergun,watch his other videos
How do you get audio out. Is there a special cable?
Do you have the iso of premier eleven soccer please ? Great video thank you :-)
Only one word the rumble fish
What came after the atomiswave?
Do people "consolize"these like the mvs??I think its awesome people make a home console that was never meant to be out of those!
Yup, they sure do.
ahhhh so cool, I want to collect all these things, but man.. It would be too much lol I see Metal Slug going for like 2K!!
Good stuff!
+XmnMetal I hope you enjoy the reviews.
I wish the SNK NEO GEO lasted a lot longer....

Did you get that from neotropolis?
+Joshua Helmeke Nope, I got this one from a private seller.
Great system there dude :)
+TheIsolatedGamerz Yeah it sure is :D I've got eight reviews ready to go :D
Project COE thats crazy dude. How long would it take until they all go up?
It starts tomorrow, and then straight for the next 7 Wednesdays. I do one main retro review a week on Wednesday.
COE. i actually have a video of booting up the system.
Good stuff :D
Project COE yeah thanks.
Can this simply be connected to a Supergun using just the Jamma connection?
You bet'cha it can.
Awesome, any suggestions on where to acquire one?
Jamma-Nation X does an incredible job, and they're fully custom. Tell James Jarrod from ProjectCOE sent you.
Ha, you got it. Thanks
Full disclaimer, I am totally going to buy the bootlegs

Some company on Amazon sells a bunch of Atomiswave and arcade stuff. They sell all games for $55; are these all bootlegs?
+Tomb76ski All fakes at that price.
Oh totally; do they play the same?
They typically have graphical and audio glitches.
Bummer, guess it is an Emulation life for me
I want a gift
