The Neo Geo, the best console I never played. I have played a lot of compilations on ps2, and I gotta say, they’re all awesome. If I was a NeoGeo collector, I would definitely be all over this. Looks close enough to the AES, and all the hookups, this things great
Being very familiar with these units the caps on the rhs are the original audio caps, not replaced, the cap on LHS is a super cap which replaces the original battery. The 2 black connectors are the leftover mounts for the cartridge slot mv1b which they flipped 90 degrees with their custom PCB. The video quality is "ok" could be better as they still use the same video processing circuits across all of their cbox revisions and have not changed these at all.
Im not sure we have the same type of MVS boards inside, but the one I have also has the AES type shell, just the one I have is black transparent. I used mine with retrovision cable and a scaler, and the games look beautiful. Some of the MVS games are affordable, but those 161 in 1 are going up in price, also most MVS games are going up since many people are buying the consolized system, like now, you dont get an original Puzzle Bubble MVS game for less than $50, some games are not even coming up on ebay that easy (like Fatal Fury 3 and Sengoku 2), but yes, having the Neo Geo Arcade attached to your TV is priceless.
Those 2 Lots that are covered were not used. They were the memory cards slots to transfer scores from games that support it from AES to NVS to update the scores from your home scores. No one used them that probably why they were Covered.
Great video! I was wondering if it has the option to turn on scanlines, it might be me but I tend to like to turn on scanlines. They make the games look better imho, and yes I'm old...
Wow this Chinese system looks identical to the original. Were the controllers you showed at the beginning also Chinese? Because they look like the real thing. But the system is not a huge problem it's the game cartridges that are the problem. Even back then they were mightily expensive now most are unbuyable. Anyway good review and cool video Wicked!👉🏼🙂👈
Many declared that the video output in these consoles is not always that great. Just remeber thay theh are built with new shells but ild hardware. Honestly, the biggest issue for me is the lack of a proper multicart sold at an affordable price so, original AES or these MVS "AESified", don't really change much when it comes to enjoying the old good games on OG hardware.
Yeah, I had a shedule setup in my break period. Now i'm back here WGC .. have a pile of vids ready to go 😎 And preparing for the piles of stuff that is coming for 2024 !
It's an mv1b inside which originally had a horizontal cart insert, I guess that's what those ports are left over from. The earlier cmvs devices tended to use a mv1c which was vertical insert
the 8bitdo only won't work with the included dongle, it will work with this mvs in bluetooth mode if you pair it with the 8bitdo bluetooth usb dongle, but you have to update firmware on the dongle and the pad first or they won't sync with each other
very import question: I ordered exactly that console, but with UK plug. it is fine to just use an EU adapter? Or do I need more? An answer would be warmly appreciated!
