I got my AES in 96.  I loved it and got some games for fairly cheap.  Well cheap being around $100 for early KOF games and a few other now uncommon games.  It was great then, but wtf with the prices now.  It's the biggest rate hike than anything.  There is no real point for a "gamer" to get an AES now.  Around 2010 or early 2011 you could still get an AES for cheap as shit though, but then people got buyers remorse when they saw most of the "wanted" game prices.  Now an AES JP with no box and 1 controller and common games like Art of Fighting 2 or FF Special is $400 easy.   Well for the bay.  It's not that much cheaper anymore even on the neo forums.  So I sold my AES shit and went MVS.  Best thing I ever did.  I do regret not having Magician Lord anymore though.  Now people getting an AES with an MVS converter is just silly to me.  Are there any converters now that don't have that scaling issue with games like Art of Fighting or Waku Waku 7?

BTWI love my beat to shit carts.  Haha some I have labeled with masking tape and a sharpie.  The boards inside look mint though.  Kinda funny.  I like my carts looking played.

Yeah, stickers just make you look like you wish you had an AES. Leave it for the punters.

FWIW, I'm pretty sure the new converters work with everything. The old ones straight up sucked though.

I have an old school Arcade converter and it works with all my MVS Games save for my multi cart, MS5, and SS5.  I am certain SVC wouldn't work either but hey good enough so far.

I like being able to identify and find my games. Many MVS carts I bought had no label, an unreadable one or a peeling fugly repro label. Shock boxes with decent inserts makes a huge difference as well when it comes to organizing and locating games that I feel like playing. I like game carts, not what I believe to be "the AES experience". I had an AES and could have another at any time. I don't give my games labels or cases because I'm trying to recreate an AES experience. The Omega looks, feels and functions better and having a cart label that I can remove any time only ties everything together all the more. You don't have to only either play marker-labeled cdrs stored in an old CD wallet or be a full collectard. There is a genuine appreciation to be had for all aspects of video games. I've never tailored by gaming lifestyle around what other people think, otherwise my hobby would be attention-whoring.

Ive been playing the hell out of my CMVS since getting it last year and loving every minute of it!

Now you tell me I haven't been getting the legit Neo experience? My non art labled MVS carts are just a cheap knock off? f*ck my life!!! Its all been a sham!!!

That's it. I'm joining Nullity's gay Craigslist prostitution ring. I'll have money for an AES and a full set of games in no time! Nothing will keep me from having a true neo geo home experience! To make matters better, I'm gonna hold out for a US Themed AES too, and have it region modded, and RGB modded to match my RGB modded US Themed Genesis. I surely do NOT want to buy a separate cord!

Nully.... Call me!


I made my own cart labels.








I'm also working on a set of matching shock box inserts.


those stickers on the carts look pretty sick! lol

I think so too. Wouldn't mind having a few of those.  I like how nice the kitchen looks, then there's a random final fight cab in the corner. Lol  [emoji7]

2 > X
Why is that? I don't know very much. From what I've heard X was to get rid of the slowdown. Only slugs I have are 2 and 3

The neo geo is equivelant to the foo fighters. They found a "forumla" that appeals to the idiotic masses and stuck with it. And this has nothing to do with the price of anything, im talking about the execution of what is produced.
They found a way to make 90% of the video game "pine riders", people who play once in a while, say "Ohhh, Ahhh, look at those graphics" while providing zero substance at all. I compare this with the foo fighters and people who use thier music to "GET AMPED! Because they sound soooo gooooood!".  Even though its hollow and reptitive.

Another way to look at it, the neo geo is the blonde plastic trophy wife for trust fund babies.

Think of X as MS2.1, it fixes the slowdown and there are quite a few additional changes outside of that.

Right, but Ope is saying 2 is better than X.

Personal preference I guess, with the slowdown out of the way 2 would have been perfect. With X they fixed that but tinkered with everything else so those changes wouldn't be to everyone's liking.

the color palette in X is wrong sure they fixed the slowdown but at what cost?

this makes you sound like you never played a neo-geo game or you aren't any good at fighting games.

The Neo Geo has a crapload of non-street fighting games across many "genres". The library is solid without including any fighters, it's just not as massive as the regular 16-bit consoles.

I had an AES briefly.... realized how silly it was to have that much money in a piece of hardware for only a handful of affordable games (I had magician lord and riding hero... yay)  Dumped it, later dumped all my MVS stuff (of which I had quite a bit of good stuff) and all I have left is the Neo Geo CD which I barely use and will probably dump soon.  I'll just emulate the crap now.  Its close enough for me to have fun and I dont have to fumble with old hardware that is only getting more and more expensive and will probably require repair eventually (This is also why I got out of arcade boards)

As such, anyone looking for a front loader Neo Geo CD? :D

I absolutely love the Neo Geo, since it was released over the years I've owned all the library of AES at one point or another, but in more recent years I wouldn't get involved again in buying AES, all the repros floating about make it a complete minefield to collect for.
I only now own a handful of AES games. I'm happy playing the Neo Geo rage X emulator (no relation to that awful Neo Geo X Gold thingy) with the complete rom set. That emulator looks amazing on my 40" LCD TV.
