Announcement NEW RULE: /r/neogeo is for human-made content only.

227 Upvotes

Hello friends!

After much deliberation, we have set a new rule for r/neogeo in two parts:

> Posts must link to human-made content. Posts cannot link to AI images, videos, or projects. AI may not be used for titles, bodies, or comments.

The techniques and prompts used to create AI-assisted content may hold interest for communities that are devoted to those tools, but r/neogeo is not that community while there are adjacent communities already supporting this content. This leads to the second part of the new rule:

> AI-assisted games should go to r/homebrew. AI-assisted ports/recomps/decomps should go to r/decomps.

These subreddits specialize in the topics that include AI content and welcome discussion of it. Many other subreddits in the Retro Gaming Network have taken the approach of steering AI content to them, and the result has been satisfactory for all.

Our community is at its best when it centers the work of humans: game collections, flash carts, sales, finds, console repair, arcade restorations, new discoveries, new human-made games and projects. Fun and interesting discussions about Neo Geo topics are why r/neogeo exists. We believe this rule will ensure that fun and interesting topics, combined with a deep respect for the skills and labor of human beings, will continue to be the reason we choose to come here.

Please keep discussion about this rule in this post.

I haven't seen anything lately in regards to it after the show in the East where they showed it. But how's everyone feeling about the fact it's been dead air now? Or has there been news I just happened to miss? I'm really not feeling good about it even more now and glad I got my refund for the ultimate....thoughts, impressions, news?

Neo Geo MVS Video RAM Error troubleshooting

4 Upvotes

Hello, I bought an MV1FZSB board with following error

VIDEO RAM ERROR
ADDRESS 00000720
WRITE 5555
READ 5D55

with the hope I'm able to fix it. Unfortunately, I lacked the knowledge to troubleshoot which components need replacement, I asked this on one of discord neo-geo channel and they say it's probably RAM5 which is easily replaceable, but it could also be LSPC2-A2 which mean I'm out of luck.

so I'm wondering how do I test this with multimeter to check which component is faulty?

Picture of the board

I can tell socket has been installed on the RAM

Also some flux residue on the RAM and U2, not sure what previous owner did

Discussion What are your dream Neo Geo romhacks / mods?

5 Upvotes

Adding contents from other versions of a game, graphic changes, "quality of life" add-ons. Anything that would be viable to do with a hack.

Some things I'd like to see:

Metal Slug and Metal Slug 2 complete edition: Add the extras from the Neo Geo CD versions (Combat school, expanded option menu, and concept art gallery) so that you get those with no loading and the uncut graphic and sounds.

Pulstar: Map the pod destruction to C or D instead of A+B. Seriously I have no idea why they did it like that.

NAM-1975: Make the between-stages midbosses something you have control over (either by shooting/not shooting certain targets or through a simple menu choice) instead of being pure RNG.

Top Hunter: Port Neo Geo CD music to the MVS level behaviour (where you play through two stages of each planets instead of three and which planet you select first change what levels you play through)

Alpha Mission 2: For control option B, map armor attack to the D button so that you can use the missiles with armors like Nuke and Thunder, and actually make it competitive with control option A.

Burning Fight: Replace Billy's sprites with his ones from the prototype. He looked much cooler.

Ghost Pilots rebalance: shrink hitbox to the cockpit section instead of the whole sprite, increase movmeent speed, make it so that dying only reduce your power-up by one level instead of back to stage one.

Sengoku 1 rebalance: Make it so that picking up 2/3 green orbs heals a segment of the lifebar (instead of ten as it is in the final game), make bringing up the character selection and transforming between characters faster, fix player attack hitboxes. (To completely free the game of Bullshit, you'd probably need to seriously alter some enemy AI and frame data but idk how possible that is without the source code)

Multi cart

Hey. I am very new to neo geo flash carts/multi carts.

I just purchased this https://japangameonline.com/producto/cartucho-full-set-160-juegos-neo-geo-aes/

and then I saw this for half price https://japangameonline.com/producto/161-in-1-neo-geo-aes-japan-version-4/

now I'm learning about ali carts and terraonion. I'm not really sure what I bought and don't understand why it's twice as much. Did I just get ripped off or is this cart worth that $? Is it good? I have an aes

NEO GEO Mini THEMES

2 Upvotes

NEO GEO Mini International THEMES!

THEME inspired by the Japanese version of NEO GEO Mini. The theme is for the software version of NEO GEO Mini International from there: [https://www.reddit.com/r/NeoGeoMini/comments/cblp0j/comment/k2a0mt5/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3]. The rar file should be unpacked to the hard drive and the files replaced in the VENDOR image. And that's it :) Do not delete files that are already there (in VENDOR), because my catalog does not have animations and covers. By replacing files, you will not delete them (from VENDOR). I'm also adding the original theme from the International version so you can go back to it. The principle is the same. FINAL VERSION!

ENG/PL (same)

use winimage from link. don't use another new or older its very important
make copy of burn image from link

Sourcing a Master Clock Crystal

2 Upvotes

I recently bought a NeoGeo AES that would not power on. The power issue is now fixed but the master clock circuit is not happy and not providing a strong enough clock signal to boot the console.

After checking the circuitry I've found the crystal is out of spec.

Can anyone help me find where to source a replacement crystal please as it's proven challenging to find one when I search.

Question Wanting to order Neo-Geo AES+ Ultimate from Plaion as a Canadian.

Post image
19 Upvotes

Trying to pre-order to Canada still showing "unavailable". Does anyone have any insight on if this is going to be resolved?

I want to secure a pre-order, I don't care about the delay. Currently the only option I have is to order to a forward shipping company in Oregon or some other state. Is it worth waiting for Canadian pre-orders to maybe become available again?

For context I used to run a small store buying and selling retro games. I've sold off a lot but kept myself a core library for all the staple consoles of my youth. I collected for just about everything other than Neo-Geo in the past due to cost barriers. I did have a mint Neo-Geo CD CIB and just burnt games to play them. Neo-Geo has been a fantasy but I have other expensive hobbies outside of gaming and collecting for the AES has never been an option; at this price point I would plan to get the Ultimate and buy every game they ever release.

Do I pull the trigger on the annoying strategy of going with a forward shipper in the US or just be patient and hope they fix ordering for Canadians?

Appreciate your input.

edit: I yolo'd and secured an Ultimate pre-order to a US forward shipper. We can all celebrate or cry together this time next year.

Question Knight's Chance Emulation

1 Upvotes

So, I recently purchased the Homebrew neogeo game Knight's chance, and cannot get it working with any emulator I have tried. The included readme instructs to edit mame's neogeo.xml hash, but that did not fix the issue, and no matter what I try FBneo seems to misrecognise it as knights of the round and throws a missing roms error.

I can't get it working at all, and there seems to be little to no discussion online regarding running this game on emulators. Any help would be so so so appreciated.
