| | | A fairly sleek-looking consolized NEOGEO 1-slot MVS made by Arcade Works, with a video out capable of multiple formats--particularly sharp using the custom component cable. Cartridges plug in with a meaty K-chunk!
The only two minor things I don't like are the top vents, which could let dust drift down into the interior, and the NEOGEO AES joystick ports, which are not particularly strongly attached to the casing, so you've got to be a bit careful with them.
Comes with a Unibios BIOS chip installed; mine is a somewhat older one I got off eBay, so it's only Unibios version 3.3--still lets you switch between AES and MVS, regions, toggle "Cheats" for blood and bounce in KOF 2000 and turn off Flash, supers, and contintues, etc. One thing I really like is that by going back and forth between AES and MVS, in 2000 you can even get the difficulty display showing on both of them, when normally it's only visible on eh one or the other, only AES I think--so I can show it on MVS for video recording. |

| | | | I accidentally threw out the cables. Ordered a replacement component cable and got one that also has composite video out on it. Got a generic 5' power cable off eBay, worked fine. |

On Dec-12-25 at 07:46:56 PST, seller added the following information:
Note: this Omega is an older model that does NOT include a VMC (Virtual Memory Card).
~~~~
The latest model on their site (I could swear no actual systems were shown when I was looking a week ago) https://www.arcadeworks.net/products/omega-mvs says it has a Virtual Memory Card (VMC) "A world's first for consolized MVS consoles." Pretty sure that wasn't a feature back when I was checking their site when I got my Omega off eBay in 2019. At any rate, when I hold all four face buttons to get to Unibios 3.3's MEMORY CARD MANAGER and try any of the card options, it just says "PLUG IN THE CARD" so as far as I know, my model doesn't have one.

Incidentally, the boot button combos, from http://unibios.free.fr/howitworks.html (I think these are still the same in Unibios 3.3--the latest is 4.0) are:
~~~
(A)+(B)+(C) UNIVERSE BIOS Menu
(A)+(B)+(C)+(D) Memory Card Manager
(B)+(C)+(D) Test Mode (MVS only)
(B)+(C)+(D) Hardware Test (AES only)
(Use 2up controller for the following code)
(A)+(B)+(C)+(D) Controller Test (AES only)
~~~
and in-game:

(START)+(COIN) In Game Menu
