      What is the quality of the Neo Geo x joystick like - I fancy getting one and have seen ETA Primes video of it but he said the buttons etc were a little loose and it feel lightweight so wonder what it is really like in use?

        @chubsta I have never used an original one but this feels ok! It's not terrible.
        I think quality control on these is random so you could get one better than the other but my one is fine and internally it looked sound also.

        I couldnt seem to get the joystick ball off and using a flat head screwdriver on the bottom, the metal driver slot just bent away so the metal used for the base of the joystick isn't great but you could destroy it and put in your own jamma one that can swap easier.

        The buttons are like control pad buttons (rubber membrane) but the joystick is arcade switches! So you could customise it with better switches as it is wired like a jamma arcade stick. The buttons are all exactly as the official neogeo stick, I know this because I imported official buttons and they fit perfectly.
        The price on it is great, the overall plastic and print quality looks great. ive seen a lot of cheap chinese plastics but this is not one of those. It's got a great texture to the plastic like a SNES console is to touch.
        You could add some weight to it if needed (glue gun some metal weight in there)
        If you are picky then with modifications you could get it perfect with not much effort but for the price it is very functional and definitely looks the part and doesnt seem like it would break very easily.

        But again i recommend modding it a bit perhaps you like less clicky stick or more clicky etc etc

        I have to say as well about what ETA had said about the buttons feeling loose and lightweight, its just down to what you are used to really. If you are used to a really solid arcade control panel then you will notice the lightness of this stick.
        But ideally this stick is not so much for tabletop but it is really for your lap so you don't want this heavy stick on your lap.
        If you mash the buttons hard you will notice they don't click like an arcade stick, they are like say for example the NES Advantage stick.
        With modifications you could make it feel heavier, more solid, put better arcade joystick switches in, when I added the led's to mine the wires push the buttons back upwards, so that the buttons seem to pop back up quicker than they normally would.
        I think with weights, gluegun some extra support in there etc it would make it a really solid stick

          @mrbee thanks for the really in-depth 'review' - I love Neo Geo games and really like the look of the joystick so will grab one, I have a spare 3B+ lying around so may make a single system console and this stick would work great with it I think.

                  Looks like you're using a 3rd party image - probably that may be at fault.

                        Hello,

                        I registered on the forum, to ask you if it is possible to have the theme "Neo Geo X Build" with the work of Stuart2773 which made Final Burn and PGM, I must say that it is the most theme that I had seen on retropie !!!

                        I hope not to be rude

                        Thank you for everything.

                            I still love playing on my NeoGeo X with the pi.

                            [Modified Ruckage theme, it's over year old now.]

                            It works on 4:3 for the old crt TV. Arcade perfect. I also made loads of different custom bezels for systems in use.

                            Music can be switched off as I all videos have sound as I retrimmed them all adding the fade affects and sound normalised each video. Took a while to sort for my taste. Box art added for the screen saver and video loading screens for each system.

                            (

                            )

                                        @Darksavior I've looked everywhere for the set artwork that is used for the NeoGeo arcade stick but couldn't find any. I hope someone shares it or do those box art, that would be awesome! The pegasus frontend do you install it on the pi? does it perform well?

                                          I've been working on my own set of square art for my Neo Geo Mini theme. I've completed Neo Geo and I'm currently working on CPSI/II/III.

                                          Here's a preview of some of the images:
