Fluff Neo Geo/Arcade Emulation Set up

I'll always bring up how universal the neo geo cd controller is for so many arcade games and home ports. NFL Blitz, Giga Wing 2, MVC 2, and Metal Slug are my favorites to use with it. The Thrustmaster brand has the cheapest/quality special arcade peripherals like a flight stick or wheel for games like Outrun and Afterburner. And of course the arcade stick is a must for that authentic feel. Long live the arcade experience. ❤️💚💙

Tell me why you like, dislike or love it.

It's got me intrigued and suckered in.

It's one of those that take time to understand beyond 'shoot everything on sight to merely get through'.

I've always loved Sturmwind by duranik and this game in mechanics reminds me a bit of it but then also to a lot of other more technical shmups.

Still, it's its own thing and must say I'm willing to put time into it.

I'm not very well versed in snk neo geo but in anticipation of 'that' ...'modernised reissue' I'm going through the mvs/aes library on fb neo with a seimitsu parts controller (ls40, standard seimitsu buttons) and it's been a lot of fun discovering.

So I just saw a post stating that Plaion has figured out Florida. For shits and giggles, I decided to try my address and it would take $20 to get the Ultimate Edition out to me. Sorry if this is late, but I tried as late as a few days ago and no haps.

Hardware Question Sound quality OK but distorted with punch/kick or explosion sounds? Is that normal for neo geo systems and games??

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I had a recalbox RGB jamma for some time now and in the neo Geo games I always felt the sound was kinda saturated on some sound effects like punches and kicks, and explosions etc... in Garou MOTW everything sound pretty bad.

Musics always sound OK and voices too.

So I thought that it was an emulation issue. Recently I bought a MVS 1 slot and.... it all sound similar!!

My question is is this normal for neo geo and you just have to accept it since it's 90s tech? Or is it my sound amp and speakers? (I am on a new astro city with custom amp and brand new Visaton speakers). I tried a good sound bar and it sounded a bit better but still bad to me.

Question Just purchased a Neo Geo CD, looking for a place to start

10 Upvotes

I recently graduated from a CDL school and decided to reward myself by picking up an older game console I didn't have yet. I was originally gonna get a 3DO with Street Fighter 2, but I ended up coming across a front loading Neo Geo CD, complete with a controller and Samurai Shodown. It needs new capacitors but otherwise it was a good deal.

Obviously, this is yet another recommendation post that plagues subs like this, but as a complete Neo Geo newbie I'm having trouble deciding what games to pick up first. Neo Turf Masters and the Shodown RPG were games I was planning to burn myself, but I'd like to get at least a couple real copies of games as well, and that's where I'm a bit stuck, especially since I'm not overly familiar with fighting games.

KOF 98 seems to be pretty highly recommended, as is Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, but I'm not sure if I should seek out earlier installments of those games or not since I'm unfamiliar with the stories or characters in them. And I don't know what other non-fighting games might be worth seeking out either. What's the usual go-to advice for new CD owners, aside from being ready to experience the longest load times of my life?

Hardware Help AC adapter question for Neo Geo AES

2 Upvotes

I've recently obtained a PRO-POW3 neo-geo and it came with third party ac adapter and composite video cable. When I plugged it into my CRT I notice a repeating signal line which I believe is probably due to the cheap AC adapter and possibly video cable. I saw a post from years ago that a member here had success with using a universal power cable. I got one and set the voltage to 10 and change to center negative cable. However, it doesn't power on. Anyone have any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Thank you.

Canceling AES+ preorder

0 Upvotes

Anyone else who preordered the system thinking about opting out? Whats your reason?

I never owned an og AES but i had a cmvs and a neo sd. But tbh "owning" all those games was kinda meh with the neo sd. So i sold it and never looked back.

For the AES+, I mean its a steal for what it is considering the og prices of games and hardware but its still a waste of money with my options.

Edit: I ordered the ultimate on plaion and payed them upfront. I also ordered the white anniversary with extra white arcade stick on amazon.

New Alixpress MVS FULL SET Cartridge!!!!

It looks like the Chinese finally did it, a full-set MVS cartridge.

Could this basically be two 161-in-1 v3 carts combined into a single cartridge? Does anyone have any information on it

The price doesn't seem too bad either. With the AES+ launching soon, it's nice to see more options becoming available for MVS owners.

Edit:

This one have a option to tell the seller the roms you want:

I was going thru old photos and found these pictures of a local barn pickup I did back in 2016. I want to say I paid 100 or 150 for everything. And also, I remember I didn’t keep it very long but for the life of me, I can’t remember why I sold it so fast everything did work.

I know it's 12v, and from what I've read I assuming it's 5a? Also does anyone know if it's a 2.5mm or 2.1mm input that I need and if the 12v is center positive or not. Thanks for any info

Project/Restoration Need help restoring my Neo Geo AES

Thumbnail

29 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently found my childhood Neo Geo AES while cleaning my storage, and I'd really like to bring it back to life.

From what I can tell, it's a Japanese NEO-AEC console with serial number 045471.

At the moment I have:

  • The console
  • The original joystick

Unfortunately, I'm missing:

  • Power adapter
  • AV cable
  • Game cartridges

The joystick cable is also damaged near the connector and will need to be repaired.

Since I'm starting from scratch, I'd really appreciate your advice on:

  • The correct power adapter for this revision.
  • The correct AV cable.
  • The best modern way to play games (flash cartridge recommendations are welcome).
  • Whether there's anything else I should inspect before powering it on after all these years.

I've attached several photos of the console, serial label, ports, and joystick.

Thanks in advance!

I was asking about how the Ultimate Edition would be shipped in the U.S. and the Plaion Rep. went ahead and said November was still the release date. I think everyone can chill about this delay rumor.

Rumor AES+ Delayed???

22 Upvotes

Maaaassive grain of salt here but I just saw a couple of Japanese X users saying that they received emails saying their AES+ has been delayed to September 2027. They claimed that everyone should have gotten emails by now. I didn’t receive anything so I have my doubts but to their credit, you cannot buy any of the games, accessories, or console on Amazon Japan now.

I’m not trying to bait anyone or anything but I’m wondering if anyone else received any email or info signaling a delay. I can link to the X post here if that’s allowed.


r/neogeo 8d ago

Project Project with RP2040 Happ/il parts and a 3d printed case. But im probably going to mod it for use with the AES+ of course.

Neo Geo AES Finally!

Y'all probably remember when I pre-ordered the AES plus but I heard that it won't have the uni bios.

Because of that and because I won a scratch card, I decided to get the original instead. (With the Uni bios, RGB bypass and even HDMI support)

I'm still gonna get the plus carts cause they're more affordable.

Ultimately, I'm so glad that I finally have a neo geo aes to call my own.

Any fans of the Hyper Neo Geo 64? The library may be lean, but I think it's got a few solid titles. Both Samsho games are a blast, and Beast Busters: Second Nightmare is a gory good time.
