NeoPico-HD – Open Source Neo Geo HDMI Mod

Let’s be real—Neo Geo fans have been begging for a cheap HDMI mod for years. Enter NeoPico-HD: a $5 Raspberry Pi Pico 2 hack that taps directly into your MVS board and spits out clean, linedoubled 480p with full RGB and shadow detail. No fancy chips. No bloated features. Just pure, unfiltered 90s arcade magic—digitally upgraded.

Forget Markus’ $150 CSPSDigiAV beast. If you just need HDMI to feed a scaler like the RetroTINK 4K? This tiny board does it better—faster, cleaner, and for less than a cup of coffee. And here’s the kicker: it’s completely open source, no license, no strings attached. Want to bake it into a custom cabinet? Tinker with “direct video” mode? Go nuts. The code’s yours.

Bonus win: Pair it with the OpenMVS mod for RGB gaming + HDMI streaming. No lag. No noise. Just arcade perfection, reimagined by a hacker who clearly loves the 16-bit era as much as we do.

Watch the video. Gasp. Then go clone it before someone turns it into a $40 kit.

(P.S. Fliperama86’s GitHub? Watch it. Things are about to get weirdly wonderful.)
