I saw these while looking neo Geo CD stuff on eBay and the concept of frickin' Ragnagard having merch was so ludicrous that I just had to get them. A post I found on the Japanese twitter suggest these may have been pre-order bonuses for the Saturn port, but nothing solid. Plus they're kind of neat!

Hi r/neogeo!

A few days ago I shared Bubble Open here and your feedback was amazing, thank you.

Since then I tried to "improve" everything: bigger stadium, new animations, taller net… and the game got slow and weird.

So I went back to what worked and kept only the real improvements.

This video shows the whole journey, from the very first demo to now: the ugly, the good, the broken and the comeback.

It's a 100% original game written in C with ngdevkit, running on MAME, MiSTer and Analogue Pocket.

Four playable characters so far, two more coming.

Who's your main? And if you'd like to test it, just ask: beta testers get their name in the credits. 🎾

Has anyone received clarification from PLAION regarding the 30% discount voucher we're getting as compensation for the AES+ delay?

Specifically, is it limited to a single game, or can it be applied to an entire order? And would it be valid toward future game bundles or multipacks?

Because if the voucher applies to an entire order, that's a completely different story. If PLAION releases another 10-game bundle and lets me take 30% off the whole thing, I'll gladly withdraw my objections.

I just sent them an Email, but I was hoping maybe someone else knows already.

Mods, if someone has already posted this Q, please do what you need to. Thx!

I have Strikers 1945 Plus in my Neo Geo and started looking into the real planes behind the game. The Flying Pancake is wild lol.

Who do you guys usually pick? Do you stick with one plane or switch it up? Curious which one you’d recommend for getting farther on one credit.

I know SNK used pretty generic fonts back in the day but does anyone know what font or type face SNK used for the big vertical Japanese text on the side of its AES boxes? Specifically the Samurai Shodown 2 one (second from left).

Hello,

I have a Neo Geo AES and a Neo SD Pro, and the console sometimes resets on its own. I also occasionally see black artifacts when I restart the console. It is a 9V console, and I am using a 9V 3A power supply.I created this post using Google Translate.

Hi r/neogeo!

Quick update on Bubble Open, the original tennis game I'm making for the Neo Geo (real ROM, tested on MAME and the Analogue Pocket).

Demo 3 adds super shots, each with its own visual effect, plus a lot of polish on the animations. It's currently in the hands of a few beta testers, and their feedback is gold: thanks to them I'm now working on MVS / UniBIOS compatibility and a fully redrawn stadium.

Happy to answer any questions, and I'd love to hear what you think!

Hey every one,

In my plan to obtain an arcade cab within the next months, I've acquired this slot in an overall pretty good shape. Right away, I replaced the old battery with a socket and removed the 470ohm resistor. However, it seems the old battery did suffer from a minor leak.

As you understand, I'm, for now, not able to connect the slot for it to be tested.

Should I worry about the corrosion to expand further within the traces ? And what would you do to prevent from anything worst to happen ?

That seems to be the only affected area.

Thanks a lot !

LeonK has done it again. The guy is out here doing God's work. First he releases an All-in-1 for the MVS and now he's created one again for the AES.

$400 dollars plus shipping gets you the entire Neo-Geo library. For the MVS it's $300 with shipping. Mine is on the way and I'll give a review side by side with the 161-in-1 V2 cart.

How do you guys play neogeo games? For me I play neogeo games on FBNeo and use a custom mayflash f300 joystick with sanwa buttons.

Stumbled on this. Its a long conversation. A bit meandering but some really interesting lines:

* Scanlines will be on the final machine. But it won’t be Retrotink quality as the AES+ just can’t do that. It will be a basic scanline function. It was secretly programmed into the TGS models but no one’s decided how to turn it on and off as all dip switches have been allocated. But the BIOS isn’t finalised yet.

* The plan is to reissue more SNK fighters. These were by far the most popular games at the TGS booth. No dates or titles are confirmed yet. But Ben says SNK were very good with providing things like the original artwork with manuals.

* Beyond SNK’s library, the AES+ will be a home for Japanese arcade games of the original era (the 90s).

* The version of SSV Special is uncensored .

* Production is starting.

When I usually see these, they are either overpriced or a bit beat up or scratched up. This one was perfect!

Is there any way to wipe the game data on samsho 2?

Hello again!

Small find while messing with the IO handling of Hyper Neo Geo 64 games: Road's Edge, Xtreme Rally and Beast Busters 2 still have SNK debug menu. Basically, it's a window listing internal variables (DIP SW 0-3, error counters, game values like speeds or 3d). Road's Edge and Xtreme Rally also have a CPU status line on top (CPU %, fps, GP, OVER) with the build ver at the bottom.

There's a MAME Lua script that set up everything from power on if you're interested. I have no idea about real hardware yet, I'm still waiting for a board (And waiting even more for a game to yank the program rom with my own stuff for a custom devcart). I don't know what most of the variables do yet. Beast Busters 2 has the menu but no status line from what I know. CPU % is not emulated correctly in MAME (tcram) so it's always 100%.

I didn't find anything for other games, maybe they were stripped from it idk. Maybe somebody smarter than me may find something.

Anyway, have fun.

I preordered both colors right away and was sad that they got delayed but no biggie. While thinking about more and more I asked myself why not getting a good condition original AES. Now i won a 9V version, mint looking one on buyee with box and Arcade Stick.

I will let a friend mod it with reset button LED, Unibios, Neopass RGB Bypass, Re-Cap and replace the Power Circuit components. Also a modern PSU from Retrogamesupply is underway.

Should i cancel the pre-order? I don't have to pay any cent until it gets sent out. Maybe i will wait to see if we get more information about the console itself.

Today I got the missing sticker and mini-marquee. I guess it’s stupid to pay more money for some paper stuff than for a PS5 game, but who gives a fck? :>

The ones for black boxes.

Hello!

i'm having some issues with RGB output on my Neo Geo AES.

Its a revision 3-6, connected to a Sony KX1211-HG CRT. Composite output works fine, but the much, much crisper looking RGB has image stability problems.

RGB output is via Insurrection Industries RGB SCART cable to a 34pin RGB adapter from Sunthar's store, into the 34pin RGB input on the Sony CRT. Composite out is just the original stock neogeo composite cable.

The image quality problems are really wierd - some of the time the image is a perfect RGB, especially on still screens. But during gameplay or in motion, there is heavy flickering, image distortion (bottom of screen bends to the right), and a black bar across the top of the screen which "squashes" the image.

I'm working my way through what the problem might be, but as i don't have another Neogeo (or another CRT) to test on, its quite difficult!

Searching the internet, one problem that comes up is the lack of RGB CSYNC on model 3-6 Neo Geos, which my SCART cable is wired for. Might that be related to the problem? Any other ideas?

A while back I posted here about the only AES I ever saw as a kid, the one my sister's friends made us earn with chores and choreographed kung-fu fights, and how that turned into NeoBox, a Neo Geo emulator I built for my Mac.

I made a short video of that story and the app (Reddit won't take video uploads here):

Since then the thing I kept wanting was to play on the couch, so I've spent my nights and weekends bringing it to iPad and iPhone. 2.0 just shipped. The touch controls copy the Neo Geo pad layout and the CRT shader makes the iPad look pretty close to a cabinet to my eyes. With a controller connected it's basically a tiny AES.

Some details for the folks here:

• MAME romsets and .neo files both work, including the late encrypted carts (KOF 2003, Metal Slug 5, etc)
• You can switch AES / MVS / Universe BIOS and region per game
• Memory cards are per game, so your high scores and settings don't clobber each other
• Mac buyers get the iPhone/iPad version free

You still bring your own ROMs and BIOS. Runs on the Geolith core by Rupert Carmichael, credited in the app.

Also, I was happy to contribute a simple fix back to Geolith that improved its performance on BSD/Darwin systems... this REALLY was a major factor for iPhone performance! The TLDR was that frame time went from 8.5 ms to 1.65 ms with this change

Rupert was gracious enough to merge it into the project: https://gitlab.com/jgemu/geolith/-/merge_requests/64

Still hoping this thing funds my AES+ :)
