About
The only subreddit dedicated solely to the Neo Geo!
The Neo Geo is a cartridge-based arcade system from the fourth generation of video game consoles. The console was launched to arcades as the Multi Video System (MVS) in Japan on April 26th, 1990 followed by releases in North America (August 22nd, 1990), and Europe (1991). Variants of the arcade console may have 1, 2, 4, or 6 cartridge slots for games that can be chosen by the player. Many people "consolize" MVS boards to be playable on a home television by either using a JAMMA-based "supergun" or manually wiring the needed parts.
On July 1st, 1991, the console was launched in a different form factor to the home market as the Advanced Entertainment System (AES), becoming the most powerful machine of the fourth generation of consoles. A version of the AES that uses CDs instead of cartridges — the Neo Geo CD — was released in 1994. A handful of exclusive titles were released straight to Neo Geo CD.

A new resource for MVS artset collectors
I've put up a new, online resource for you!
This does a more thorough job than any other site I've seen at listing what is in a complete set for each title.
It also compiles a *LOT* of data, using those statistics for things like suggesting likely 2nd-printing runs. This data is listed so that the reader can arrive at their own decisions if they prefer.
All of the methods used in the site's decisions are explained in the links at the top of the page.
This is something which I wish I had when I first started. For example, back in the day I was confused if "Super Sidekicks 2" was supposed to have that single-sided softdip sheet or if that meant it was a fake. Even as a more seasoned collector, this information has been very useful. I hope others find some utility in it as well.
Enjoy!

Amazing Neo Geo find
Recently bought a fairly large collection from an older gentleman. Mainly Nintendo stuff. But among them were these Neo Geo AES games. I then looked into it a bit, as I had no idea. But now I can hardly believe how much the games are supposed to cost. Are they really that expensive?
The games are all CIB and they look as if they were unused.

Help! Where can I buy this?
A few years ago, I got a Consolized NeoGeo. Awesome. But for some time now, the power adapter’s indicator light hasn’t been turning on…
Thank you very much!

Upgrading an older TimeHarvest consolized MVS to UniBIOS 4.0
I've got an extra TimeHarvest "CBOX" system I'm prepping to resell. These shipped with UniBIOS 3 so I thought I'd upgrade it to 4.0.
In prepping to do this, I noticed that pin 20 was "floating" (can't really tell from the photo but the lower right pin showen). It was still connected to the pad, and the pad was connected to the trace, but the pad was no longer attached to the PCB (I could wiggle it with a probe). Guessing that whomever installed the old UniBIOS didn't get things hot enough before trying to lift off the stock chip.
This was one of the 44 pin chips, with the top two left most pins bridged and the bottom two unused. After masking off the area with kapton tape I removed the chip with hot air. Another option would have been to use flush cutters to cut out the existing chip and then using a soldering iron to lift each of the removed legs from the PCB. But that's a more destructive option.
As expected, the pad for pin 20 separated. I could have hidden the problem by running a bodge wire from the via (right most via under the BIOS chip) but I opted to run it directly from pin 62 on the CPU.
Everything working as expected.

Small Supply of Furrtek Converters up for sale
About 7 left at the time of this post for, what I'm guessing, will probably be the last batch of the year if anyone is interested: http://furrtek.free.fr/shop/
Also, could someone point me in the right direction for a good 3D printing service to print out the case for the convertor?

Has anyone here ever tested Real Neo Geo CD Games on a Modded Original Xbox?
I was thinking about picking up an OG Xbox to play physical Neo Geo CD games. For some odd reason I find this pretty cool, unless you guys have an alternative option I'm missing out on. If so, please fill me in.

Need help with unibios 4.0. On the initial screen I can select hard dip/soft dip etc, but when I get to the screen to change settings, I can’t get the settings changed. I think there must be a button combination that I don’t know about.

Best RGB Bypass for 3-5 and 3-6 AES?
Hi all, I was hoping to do the RGB bypass to my AES consoles.
I’ve seen a few guides and videos but just wanted some definitive answers before diving in.
Wouldn’t mind keeping Composite but not 100% necessary. Just really want best output possible.

MVSX Hylo hack
I’ve got the Neogeo Arcade Stick Pro with hylo 2.0 plugged in and it works great, now I’m buying the MVSX and was wondering if, you guessed it - can I just plug the usb with hylo 2.0 from the arcade stick pro into the MVSX?
I really hope I can. Their Telegram group is almost impossible to navigate.

(Help) Just brought the Fatal Fury special on switch , how do you adjust the rounds??
I tried looking online but no one seems to be talking about it on any of these games. It’s such a standard thing to be missing…
I really don’t want to go through 10+ fights for each character set to 2+ rounds, that’s going to get way too tedious…
It’s the ACA Neogeo version on Switch.
