I recently bought my first Neo Geo system, the original CD model.
My system is japanese. While waiting for my first original japanese CD games to arrive in the mail, I've tried out a few cdr games made from different quality isos off the internet with varied success.
I found a stack of english Neo Geo CD games at a local store and bought them all to hold me over until I get the titles I really want.
Anyways... some won't start up at all, or get to various stages of progress through the game before crashing altogether. And while they try to load, there is a kind of clicking sound as they spin, like the disc is hitting something as it spins. The sound is a little different with each game.
At least one of these games is scratchless and none are too bad.
The cdr of Kabuki Klash I made loads fine without any weird sounds, but crashes after completing the first match.
Is the Neo Geo CD supposed to be region free? Its weird that its only making noise with original U.S. games I tried so far.
When I received the system it stunk like smoke (not cigarette), and had a greezy film all over it that I had to clean off. It was sold as a 'deal' by a japanese seller on eBay, because one of the controller ports has a small chip of plastic missing.
If the japanese games I've got coming give me any problems, is it safe to conclude that its the system that is the problem?
Even if the seller would consider an exchange or return, the shipping cost more than the system itself.
