/vr/ - Retro Games

>>6707528
That is a personal question. I say no.

>>6707528
Better off just running an emulator to a crt. Even the flashcarts are overpriced unless you chink it up

>>6707528
TG-16 worth it.

>>6707554
heh

>>6707528
Poorfag spotted. Probably best to stick to some more affordable Nin-toddler tier games. The big Boyz will be enjoying our 24 bit 300 mega power.

Fuck no

It was to me. Although it ended up being well over a thousand dollars for the console, 2 controllers, HD Retrovision cable, recap, RGB bypass, socketed Unibios 4.0 install, and NeoSD Pro. No regrets

>>6707826

>>6707829
The Reddit nintendrones are out in full force on damage control today.

>>6707528
Yes, the system still holds up and it’s not region lock

>>6707528
If you want to play on real hardware, you'd be better off getting a consolized MVS. The games play exactly the same, but they are way cheaper.

Yes, but only if you can afford a NeoSD Pro so you play NeoGeo CD and homebrew games on it. The 164 in 1 carts are okayish though. I think once the MVS version is out though, you'd get better value out of a consolized MVS.

>>6707891
Well it depends what games you want to play but the """""cheapest""""" way to go is a JP console and Neo SD.

Next would be a CMVS w/SD or real carts.

Then JPAES w/UniBIOS and JP carts.

And finally rich bitch mode: US system and English carts.

>>6707912
I've been looking into the MVS+supergun route a bit, and it seems like it should come out significantly cheaper than even a Japanese AES.

Based on current eBay pricing:
>$60 MV1C
>$80 controller
>$40 basic supergun
>$25 power supply
vs. around $340 for an AES+controller from Japan. Am I missing something?

>>6707528
Unironically

PCB > CONSOLE

>>6707528
>Is the Neo Geo AES worth the high price?
yes. always was, always will be. it's an arcade board as a console. not the other way around as other manufactures did it: converting their half assed consoles into better efforts for the arcade industry. yes, i'm look at you, sega.

It's a neat system but I'd wait to find one for a price you're comfortable with. You're not gonna find one for under $200 or so and if you do it'll be a busted up piece of shit that might not even work or come with a controller. Considering this is /vr/ chances are you're more keen on retro stuff than anything new. Gen 9's shaping up to be another terrible gen so I'd just forgo the hefty pricetag of those big honking wallet leeches and get the comparatively cheaper AES. Problem is the games. They come at like $100 a pop unless you find some retard who doesn't know what he's selling. Fat chance of that happening though, everybody thinks old = valuable in the retro game market and will base their asking prices off the horse shit on eBay. You don't know how many time's I've seen some rat try and sell Vegas Stakes on SNES for $20 or higher. Seriously, you'd be better off just biding your fucking time, man. Let the market simmer, and snatch one up when that prime opportunity strikes.

>>6707528
AES isn't expensive. It's the bandwagoner tax that's the problem.

>>6708040
You're missing a few things but primarily a box.

>>6707817
>the only consoles that exist are nintendo
This is your brain on ecelebs. I bet you watch game cuck and think the caveman actually knows shit about video games

>>6708187
Why would I need a box?

>>6707528
Yes. Just make sure you get a flash cart so you can play the entire library.

>>6707528
Neogeo is blessed with the most retarded and useless community, Not even Nintendo can be this stupid.

Go for an MVS.If you will not avoid the Full kit retards but if you go for loose cards you should get them for cheap.

>>6708040

A box, I use a cheap wooden one from a decoration store, made some holes for the controller ports, a din 8 connector for video and audio and another one for power and you are good to go, oh and a power switch beside the power connector.

>>6708267

Looks neat.

>>6708267
So all the parts don't get lost in the pile of trash you call your bedroom floor

>>6707528
I'm still pissed I lost out on a chance to get one with a dozen games for free from my Dad's friend. He told me he found one with a bunch of games and 2 controllers cleaning out an apartment, and next time he visited would give it to me. The next time he came over he told me his gf at the time got pissed at him and she threw it out.

>>6708716
He bullshitted you, probably sold it on eBay

>>6708719
it doesn't matter what the excuse was. Having that promised to me and then having it ripped away sucks man.

>>6707528
If you're REALLY into old 2D fighting games that no one else in a 500 mile radius of you plays, then yes.
Outside of the fighting games the only thing worthwhile is Metal Slug.

What's the verdict on the Cbox MVS from aliexpress? I heard they kinda of improved on some things.
If not what's the best AES to get for good RGB? sources are all over the place.

>>6708716
She finally got her revenge.

>>6708948
And Turf Masters.

>>6707817
Timestamped pics of hardware and games or you're larping.

>>6707817
>The big Boyz will be enjoying our 24 bit 300 mega power
You mean the BIG TYMERS

>>6708948
What is:
Blazing Star
Pulstar
Magician Lord
Prehistoric Isle
Windjammers
Twinklestar sprites
etc

Good luck actually buying those titles on anything but MVS (accept for maybe magician lord, and it used to be a $40 game a few years back).

>>6712467
Man, the NeoGeoFaggots. Dion and Chris. These two chucklefucks take me back. The "Big Tymers" scam club, The fake Lost Odyssey proto, the KOF2k insert fiasco, the baby blue Porsche ebay shilling bust, SNK having the courts serve a warrant to recover NeoGeo World "collectables" from Chris' apartment (i.e. shit he stole from the themepark while it was in the process of closing down, including the fucking carpet), the absolute shitshow mud flinging megathreads over at NG dot com. The list goes on and on.

The memories these two gay cornholes have given us over the years are to be treasured.

>>6712713
Was the Nintendo really that weak?

>>6712713
Except most the stuff you mentioned fetches insane amounts of money on eBay. While you sit in your mother's basement eating Mac n Cheese, rofl

>>6707528
Yes.

>>6712713
>Dion
Case of crippling narcissistic personality disorder.

>>6707528
lol hell no

>>6713012
Except for "freaked" NGF games. Finding an NGF sticker on the back of an AES insert is the Neo collector's nightmare.

>>6713012
Former "freak" or just a larper kiddo?

>>6713012
What stuff would that be? None of it is available on eBay, or anywhere else, with the exception of an occasional NGF rebranded copy of KoF2k where the seller thinks if he puts a high enough price on it someone will actually buy it.

>>6713506
Bought most of my stuff in the eArly 2000s I don’t have that on them

Dion was great for his monumental troll of the losers that inhabit the neo-geo.com boards. That place is a joke, and the way Dion inhabits the mind of every poster on there is hilarious. He's their version of the Devil, a guido bully that did everything from shredding SNK inserts to putting a chokehold on a sickly forum member with an oxygen tank that confronted him at an event.

You can't really root for either side, ng.com incel nerds or greasy guido, but standing back and watching the Dion saga was epic spectator sport.

>>6713506
My copy of Magician Lord came with both the original and "freaked" covers with the barcode sticker. Unsurprisingly, the "freaked" cover was riddled with typos

>>6714086
>greasy guido
He used to be this somatic narcissist. But these days he poses like a rich gangster on facebook. That guy is always a source of great joy.

>>6707528
Don't get the AES, just get the normal one. Much cheaper.

>>6712973
This was made before the SNES, so it's comparing the NES to 16-bit consoles.

>>6714268
>the normal one

>>6714268

>>6714268
The normal one is better than the other one, which isnt normal and then there is the other, other one which reads these things n shit, which isnt normal either?

>>6707528
No.

And I say this as Art of fighting diehard fan aka yurifag.

>>6707528
Multi cart and mvs. You can order both from Ali, then consolise it. Or better put it in a cabinet.

The flash carts are still way overpriced last I checked, and the multicarts have almost all the games I want anyway

>>6714143
No, see, you're supposed to start raging at his ng.com bait. Rent free and stuff. Get mad.

>>6712467
What kind of poor man's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" trio is this?

>>6712713
>>6709708
Market ad give me a headache.

>>6714505
Right, SFC prototype was still in development.

>>6716323
i got banned from there, i dont care lol

>>6716429
how the hell did you get banned from neo-geo.com? They allow the most abrasive shit

>>6716429
Literally not possible.

>>6716440
>>6716459
Rots a micro penis with zero sense of humor, thats why

>>6716481
NOT RETRO

>>6716482
yikes

>>6716354
The guy in powder blue and snakeskin was the CEO of Nintendo of America from 2006 to 2019: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Fils-Aim%C3%A9

Dion of infamous Neo Geo Freak, king of teh Big Tymers, is on the left. Middle who knows.

>>6709726
Neo Turf Masters for AES is like $30,000.00 I'm not kidding.

>>6717014
>The guy in powder blue and snakeskin was the CEO of Nintendo of America from 2006 to 2019
That's not Reggie.

the console is worth the price, but the games? meme games will run you $1000+. get a multi cart or the neo sd.

>>6717184

Joe Pesci in the middle
