Here it seems that a strong online classifieds culture is gradually building up. More people are trying to get rid of their old stuff and it's been easy to find good stuff at reasonable prices.

Turbografx-16 games have been expensive, the prices for old vidya have been high, and have been steadily increasing for years before /vr/ even existed (also note that /vr/ has only been here for a year).

[Anonymous No.1489954]

1. It can play both AES and MVS.
2. AES looks nice, 10/10 would put in a museum
3. Easier to show people and get people interested compared to "Hey folks, check out my chunk of circuit board and huge black, blank, hunks of plastic that the games are on."
4. Converters will be cheap.

I don't know what my favorite Neo Geo games are yet. Before I got my AES, I would just play KoF endlessly on GGPO.

Right now, I'm sticking to Neo Turf Masters, Neo-Geo Cup 98 and Metal Slug X, which should keep me content for a while. Going through all the games right off the bat would cheapen the experience, especially when I'm under the impression that each Neo Geo game could last literally forever.

I did play Blazing Star up to stage 3 (stopped because I was tired enough to refer to "Metal Gear X") and was impressed with the graphics. And I finished Sengoku 3 with a friend on my laptop. Took one and a half hours and it dragged on forever. Gameplay was fun, but they just throw the same enemy at you for 1.5hr, and it got old fast.

What the fuck are you even talking about. Yeah, I'm sure the average person would rather see a little black console in the corner they've never seen before then play Metal Slug on the original arcade cabinet. Totally. You're 100% correct. Pic related.

Yeah, you're right. You're much more likely to find fat "autistic" neckbeards who have space to store their full sized arcade machines and friends to play co-op with than ones who managed to sneak an AVS into their mommies' basement to run MVS carts on and pretend to be cool.

More and more recently it seems like they're migrating to shit up this board, and I'm tired of it.

Back on topic, has anyone with an MVS tried out the multicart with almost every game on it? I've got a party coming up and I'm considering ordering one so I don't have to keep switching carts out all night in my two slot, but if it's full of problems or has any major quality issues I'll pass.

I have nothing against the AES, I was more responding to the guy who was saying it was somehow more impressive a sight to the average person than the MVS and that the MVS is 'just a circuit board.' It's definitely a fantastic system and is more usable in more situations.

MAME's not too bad with latency for Neo.

There are some boards it emulates that are awful (I will always bring up the terribad ST-V 6 frames), but the Neo's pretty good.

I'd still love to get myself a CMVS though (even though all I would play on it is KOF98, 2002, and Metal Slug 3, maybe Garou if it's not stupid expensive, even as an MVS cart). Too broke to do the AES thing.

dumb things about MAME: I don't think Terry's stage has ever looked right in Garou MOTW there, at least on the pic related part

MAME's either slower than on real HW or seems to loop badly, depending on the version.
