Gauging interest for a group buy for Neo Flash Cart

[HercTNT]

duo, I'm not following you. it does all the roms in the folder at once. what do you need a batch command for?

[Duo_R]

I can't figure out how to do that...sorry I feel dumb

[HercTNT]

no need for that, your just over thinking it. run the program once, no special commands. it does the rest. just make sure its in the directory with whatever roms you want fixed.

Its a good thing you can download the drivers. I think someone jizzed on my driver disc.

I apologize for the delay in getting the remaining flash carts out. We recently (last week) bought a house and it has seize my full attention over the past week. I also do not have internet, which is being remedied tomorrow, and cell signal is almost nonexistant. I've tried making an update over the past few days on here, but my phone kept losing connection.

I'm going to make an effort to get the rest of these out by the end of the week. Again, I apologize for the delay. Didn't want anyone to think I up and ran off with your carts and cash.

[HercTNT]

Senshi, mine was in the same condition. In fact the whole thing looked horribly used. It works though so i can't complain to much.

getting error "bad or invalid rom fat" when i plug it in to my computer. tried formatting it as it suggested, and it failed there too. anyone know how to get around it?

[tiptopjames]

actually it's "old version or invalid rom fat" sorry

I've had zero issues every time I flash mine and the carts I've tested on my PC flashed without issues as well.

As for the driver discs, I only checked to see if the packages contained discs, I did not open, handle, masterbate with, or otherwise fondle them in any way, shape, or form. They are practically useless anyway since better software can be downloaded from the neoteam site.

Compatibility wise, I've only had problems with  5 US titles not wanting to start, freezing at the menu. That is even after ensuring the header is removed. I've only tested/played the games on my unmodded TE, so I suppose compatibility could possibly change depending on the system.

Here is an interesting development... That "bad" cart I swapped for neoxeno appears to be very much functional and works very well... just on certain systems. It failed to operate on my Express as well as my TG16, but operated flawlessly on my Supergrafx, Duo-R, and modded Core. I'm beginning to wonder if people aren't pointing the finger in the wrong direction. Perhaps the carts innards might be different from the rest, requiring more juice to operate than the others. Any thoughts?

i just cannot get any version of the software to see that i even have the usb device plugged in, my computer sees it, and it's using what i assume is the correct driver. can i ask about your setup? OS and software version? i'm on windows 7, tried the newest software in one of those linked threads, which my first post refers to. now i'm downgraded to neo ultra 2, still no luck at all.

James, i had the same issue, no matter what i did i could not get anything to work in windows 7 even though others could.  once solution is this, microsoft offers virtual pc, and windows xp free of charge to most users of windows 7. it might seem like alot to go through, but if you virtualize winxp and then install your neo on that, it should work fantastic. The only other option is either to have a winxp system lying around, or know someone that does. In my case i used my daughters winxp computer (the whole thing is hello kitty, i looked great behind it) and had zero issues after that. 

Mish, i get my gt back from steve soon, i will test the card in my gt and on my grafx. so far i have only got the card working on my duo-r. I did have it in my grafx but thats is when i was having trouble loading roms. I suspect that now that i have ironed out the rom issue that it would work in my grafx as well.

i don't have 7 pro, so no xp mode for me. also don't have a windows xp machine in my home, nor know friends that have one handy. so i guess it's no go for me basically. anyone wanna buy this new brick i have?

[HercTNT]

dont give up yet, there is another work around i just have to find it. i will get back to you.

Edit: here is some information that might help, it seems that older software might help.

the furthest i have gotten is having no error messages in Neo2 Pro Manager, though i cannot do anything at all.

[HercTNT]

here is another one i found, apparently this is the latest software available. i dont even have this yet.

dont plug in the device before you install the software, only after. I was able to get it to work in windows 7. my issue was that the usb kept timing out before i could format. if you read down, and you can format they recommend doing a low level format to fix the problem.
