I'm not exactly a regular there, but I enjoy chatting with cdamm and rot occasionally and check up on some conversations threads.  Never had issues with members and every transaction I've attempted there has worked without issue.

Would have sucked if another option like n-g.com would have gone under for good.  Glad to see it's back up.

The guy I bought my first AES from got gutted and eviscerated publicly on the forums over there for what seemed to be a minor issue with another transaction...like literally something that was a mistake that people took out of context and lynched him over. That was my first indication that I didn't want to spend too much time there...

Oh yeah they do that!  However I got my first AES modded by JMKURTZ with bios and s-video over a decade ago.  It started my love affair with SS2.  My God it's a perfect game.

Have an account there, but I don't spend much time on n-g.com as it isn't the kind of environment I feel comfortable with. People think its hard being a newbie on this forum... well that place is 10x worse to get started at. Show a difference in opinion with one of the vets over there and get the circle jerk mob sent after you. There is definitely a few good eggs out of the bunch who are more than happy to help you out if you need it. They aren't all bad.

Who could forget D-Lite aka Dean aka Dean-o aka luscious left foot aka Billy Ocean

He sold me my first PCE system and games, and did an outstanding job preparing everything (y)

Meh, I have it on my Neo Geo CDZ. Why bother with an inferior cart version, when you can have not only perfect gameplay AND perfect arranged music?

Off topic, but I got SamSho III. So different than SamSho II. Any tips?

Inferior cart version?  Ever try to play KOF 99 on any cd system including the CDZ?  I'm not a huge fan of the re-arranged music but I get it's appeal.  Anyone who touts cd over the carts for any other reason besides cost is in deep denial.  However I think as long as you gave an AES or Mvs a cd system is a great addition but my god the loading takes away the arcade experience completely which is what the neo is about.  Lost frames of animation, smaller sprites for what?  An art page?  Training in metal slug?  Not worth it, a curiosity at best and I have a CDZ, it collects dust unless I feel like playing view point.

Again, it depends. I said Samurai Shodown II is better because of soundtrack, but load times are very bearable (like 15 sec per character, and maybe 5 if you died). KOF 96 is unbearable in team mode, but is good in single character mode.

Off-topic but related:  Say I want to get myself a nice CMVS, and assuming I don't really care about buying up a whole lot of carts, what are my options to play on real hardware?  I heard about all in one's but I hear the quality of some is questionable.

I have SSIII On my AES and MVS.  It's damn near broken meaning A solid hit removes 55% of life in some characters.  The hit box is wonky as well, just a tip counts as a full hit.  That said come hard and fast, I use the main protagonist and just litter the field with the projectile storm or cheap sliding kicks followed by weak stabs.  This isn't a chess match like 2 do you really need to be aggressive.

The folks over at neo-geo.com actually fixed the game to make the damage less and the hotbox smaller,as is an entire match can be done in under a min.

You could always get a Super Gun and a Mvs 1- slot.  That way you can get other arcade boards as well.

If you don't have money to buy a cmvs you could consolized one yourself.The other option to find a supergun and run a mvs board that way.When i bought my cmvs years ago it was from a member over at neo-geo.com,it's rather basic and not fancy compared to a omega cmvs but it works like it should.Though prices have been going up for mvs because there are more cmvs out there.Still if you don't care for originals copies there are multicarts.

[Opethian]

supergun is the way to go so you can play PCBs down the road.

[esadajr]

with neo geo, xbox and wii are the way to go
