Neo Geo AES Replacement Shell

đŸ”„ Retro Repair Renaissance!

Dennis van den Broek (a.k.a. Pointer Function) just dropped the full 3D-printable design for a Neo Geo AES replacement shell—yes, the entire casing. This isn’t just a quick fix; it’s the kind of meticulous, community-powered restoration work that makes retro hardware revival feel almost like a miracle.

💡 What’s included?

  • Full shell model (ready for 3D printing)
  • Previously released: cartridge door, power/reset buttons
  • Memory card slot bracket (in progress—stay tuned!)

You can either grab the bracket and swap it in, or hold out for Dennis’ final piece. Either way, this opens the door to some seriously ambitious mods—like turning an MVS arcade board into a factory-perfect AES home console using the open-source AES 3.5 motherboard. Imagine: arcade-grade ROMs, crisp CRT output, and a pristine cabinet—all built from scratch (or near-scratch).

🎯 Bonus points if you find a print shop willing to do this at reasonable cost—this could be the holy grail for Neo Geo purists.
