I have a 2-slot mvs machine and a single slot as well and i want something to play my mvs game in my tv.

The MVS is gonna be a fun and challenging project. I'm still planning on picking up a 1-slot soon so that I can start working on a design. Just takes $$$, and that's always in short supply lately it seems. I guess I should stop buying so many Gameboy micros...

If I may, I think, since this is a budding brand, that all the shells should match up, in some way, aesthetically, beyond a barnd stamping. Or, at the very least, there should be mutliple "lines": black, chrome, whatever. I can't tell you how awesome it would be to have all matching systems.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

That's exactly the plan, at least across each brand (i.e. Nintendo consoles will share an aesthetic, Sega consoles the same, etc.)
As far as different versions/lines, that's also part of the plan. It will largely depend on how many I will have to order to do so, but I can easily do limited editions with paint and whatnot. I have a makeshift paint booth in my garage since I used to be heavily into car modding. Would be a cinch to knock out a stack of crazy colors and/or finishes :)
Thanks for the offer! I don't know what skill set(s) you have, but I do have plans that involve custom cases/covers. And I'm talking special limited edition-type stuff, not just a unique cover or anything like that. We're talking proud to show off to even your totally non-gamer friends and family ;D

I've heard the 2-slot is the easiest to consolize, but I don't remember the reasoning...
wiggy:
They might be, but based on what I've read, the single slot is the preferred unit for consolized MVS.

2-slots have the controller ports on-board, so you dont have to add any.
they have a socketed BIOS, so if you want to add the UniBIOS its super easy.
in fact the only things you have to worry about are the power, AV connections, test and coin buttons, everything else is on-board.
