I have a terraonion one and it's great. You have to reflash it each time you want to play a different game but, it works great. The over all argument is that it only has a limited life time flash amount.. but you probably won't ever reach it.

>>5470301
>it each time
lol it each time

>>5470301
About how long does it take to flash the larger games?

>>5470690
It’s not insignificant. Can take a min or 2

>>5470296
Sounds like a good way to enjoy Neo-Geo games without having to spend a fortune.

>>5470863
That was the plan. These things still aren't cheap though, like $450 for the neo sd, $550 for the darksoft and $650+ or so for the neo sd pro. Still cheaper than buying aes carts though.
>>5470823
That's around what I would expect I suppose. I've seen some say darksofts is faster but this is usually also in posts with people insulting the neo sd so it's hard to take any of this seriously.

>>5470823
>min or 2
My nearly 30 year old neo geo flash cart takes 5 minutes to load a game from floppies. Good thing these lads aren't designing iphones. They'd be the size of a phonebook and have 56k dialup. You'd think at those prices the cunts could use high speed SRAM instead of whatever slow ass flash they're using.

>>5470296
I have one in the mail that I got from a lowball bid on eBay. Did they ever get updated to take multiple file formats, or else where is the best place to find .neo files?

>>5471192
I’m sure it’s to minimize the already expensive cost this thing has. I’m not defending them mind you

>>5471589
I find all the neo geo files in a github link. All rooms that were official releases and so on and including some neo geo cd games like crossed swords 2 minus the cd audio.

>>5471627
Rooms/ roms

>>5471624
I'm pretty sure it's because they're retarded. Not literally retarded, just inexperienced. And neogeofags are notorious for being clueless about hardware design. Keep in mind that I've had a neo geo flash cart for nearly 30 years, yet is was well known that making one was impossible. neogeofags aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. But they sure are tools.

>>5471192
The pro version added some sort of RAM while adding like 3 additional flash slots. But It costs the most of any of these things

>>5472220
A step in the right direction. Perhaps some day they'll bulk it up to 161 slots like the Chinese did ages ago. I have one of those. Load time: 0s.

>>5472074
Not gonna argue that. Their dedicated neogeo forums are just the most dire of cancer.

>My nearly 30 year old neo geo flash cart takes 5 minutes to load a game from floppies.

There was one that used floppies?

>>5472329
There was. And you think neogeofags are crazy paying $500 for a flash cart? Check it out:

Not mine. I don't have the box. But I do have the memory cards required to make it actually work. It takes up to four DRAM cards that go for $300 each and one SRAM card that goes for $150. Neogeofags are fucking retarded.

I tried to get something from Terra Onion and both of my banks auto denied payment. Im not going to jack off backwards to spend this kind of money just because they dont want to use paypal. If you check the shmups drama the seller is very disengenious and unprofessional so fuckem.

>>5472363
I wouldn't worry too much. Chinks like knocking off neo geo shit and with the prices being charged for this stuff it's a big incentive for them to copy this. Honestly all I really want is a legit 156 in 1 or whatever the actual total is. Don't even give a fuck if it's MVS only.

>>5471627
>I find all the neo geo files in a github link.
what link? pls.

>>5472509

If the chinks made an actual correct 156in1 cartridge with all 156 Neo Geo games I'd fucking buy an MVS AAAAAAAND AES cartridge.

But chinks gonna chink, they're gonna milk these different multi carts until people stop buying them.

I keep hoping that one day they'll get into selling CD repros, like Sega CD Snatcher and PCE Akumajo Dracula X.

>>5472694
Depending on the price I'd probably buy a bunch of each because that's all anyone would need, ever. And who knows how easy they'd be to find in the future. Was hoping to pick up some 138-in-1 during this chinkshitexpress sale because it has some good games the 161 doesn't Nope. Not a single place has them.
You mean you've been hoping they'll get back into selling bootleg CDs? Why? Maybe I shouldn't have thrown away hundreds of them over the years?

>>5470450
I don't get these posts. Just randomly quoting a sentence fragment then repeating it but adding "lol" to the start. How autistic are you?

>>5472805
>randomly quoting
lol randomly quoting

>>5472805
They require reading the post and understanding it instead of just shitposting. Obviously anon is nowhere near as autistic as you.

>>5472269

neo-geo.com is the most cancerous forum ever. These guys are so gay you will get ass aids from reading their crap.

This thread is NOW about AUTISM. Since you asked for it :D

they are just gate keeper losers i had too big a collection and was not aloowed to join forums bc of it. the dude was straight jealous.

>>5473795

They banned me for trolling their retarded troll mod. Who obviously has zero sense of humor or self awareness. Over the years they have driven most early members away. And all that's left is the hard core of toxic freaks poisoning each other.

>>5473762
>neo-geo.com is the most cancerous forum ever.
I am not a member there, and have been unable to join, but from the way it reads, it is 4chan-esqe with plenty of shitposters. If you have a neo geo, it may be better than asking questions here.

On a side note I too am shopping around and looking at the various MVS flash carts. I can't add much to the conversation, but I will probally end up ordering the NeoSD pro.

>>5472259
I have an 161 multicart too, the yellow one right? I use an MVS to AES converter to use it with my AES.

I hear those can damage your Neo Geo, is that right?

>>5474123
I have mostly yellow. That seems to be the standard. I bought and consolized >9000 MVSs for the price of a converter. My AESs decorate the shelves and storage rooms. I'm sure anything made in China could damage anything. No personal experience with AES converters though.

Wound up just getting a darksoft since since the pro is about $100+ more and terraonion doesn't take paypal.
Hopefully I won't regret having to hear axel f on the menu.

>>5472269
that's what happens when you dabble in emulation

>>5474975
We all wrote stupid shit on the internet. Thank god for anonymity. All the inane stuff I wrote 20 years ago in boards and forums would give me a stroke now.

>>5474975
>neo-geo.com is as inane today as it was 18 years ago
Food for thought.

>>5474123
>I hear those can damage your Neo Geo, is that right?
anyone who says this is full of shit, people have been using those chink multicarts for like 15 years. never heard of one of them breaking a console

>>5475221
Works for me! Thanks for clearing that up!
