Here’s a review of the Omega MVS Neo Geo from Arcade Works. The Omega is essentially a custom case and “supergun” for a Neo Geo MV1C MVS motherboard that looks like it could be an official SNK console!
While the console is good, we felt there was room for improvement and designed an RGB upgrade board for any enthusiasts; Basically, people with calibrated RGB monitors or people who use the OSSC with optimal timings will notice a quality difference, but probably not people with inexpensive scalers or consumer-grade CRT’s. There’s also an upgraded audio circuit on the board with filtering that helps the Neo Geo be a bit less harsh. Here’s some uncompressed FLAC files that demonstrate the difference – Make sure to use headphones (and see the bottom of the main post for more filtering info): https://www.retrorgb.com/assets/OmegaMVSAudioComparison.zip
