AES or MVS?

[cr8zykuban0]

very true black tiger and also is a perfect game if you have a 1 slot neo cab or if you just dont have space for the mvs carts

I'm thinking about getting a consolized MVS as that seems to be the cheapest way to go other than emulation, compilation, etc but at least then I can enjoy some of these games as they were intended. Still a expensive proposition though.

Initually it is, but over all the saving for the games themselves outweighs the inital cost of the CMVS. 


also it's crazy fun....


the games that is..

  Agreed! I have thoroughly enjoyed mine in the short time I've had it. I am very impressed with the craftsmanship of the Omega. It looks as good as any commercially produced console.

OK well figured out the bios. I set it to arcade which fixed the problems with the games. Still can't figure out how to get the 161 cart to reset though. Oh well

Send Quan a message about the multicart issue. I'm assuming your Omega is the model w/ the built-in memory unit, as this is a known issue with that model variant. He might have a fix for it by now, so checking with him will be your best bet.

Curious, what games were on the AES that weren't on the MVS and vice versa?

I want to say that some of the MVS (arcade) games where not ported to the AES.

The AES or Neo Geo CD never got any ports that weren't a MVS originally.

Which is why I feel both the AES and Neo Geo CD hold little value due to the high cost for them.  Going MVS is best both in the pocket book and you can get a compelte Neo Geo Library.

Now I could be wrong on that whole AES never getting any games that were not MVS originally but I certianly never heard of a game being created just for those system, or being ported for them that were not MVS originally.


Which is why I like to call the AES a arcade in a box....... 


Edit and already I am corrected that the neo geo cd did have exclusoves not originally a mvs game. Sweet!

AES has zero exclusives. MVS has pretty much everything except Samurai Spirits RPG and a few other CD exclusives, but I believe that the other exclusives were made for MVS and just held back to make the Neo Geo CD more attractive. Some (all?) of those other exclusives have been converted by fans to MVS.

There are lists out there that break everything down in easy to read charts, but I can't find any at the moment.

MVS has the most games.

The CD Exclusive -> MVS fan ports often don't have music though, as the CD games only have redbook CD music.

mvs is the best!

Here's a question for you guys. My omega keeps defaulting the region to Europe after a hard restart. I turn it on and its Europe, I change it to USA, and it says it is saved. It will remain as USA, even after soft reboot,  until it is powered off again.

Any ideas?

I assume what ever saves the data is dead.  Most likely a battery.  Since you are calling it an ''Omega'' I'm guessing this is one of those insanely overpriced massproduced CMVS units.   You should ask the guy that made it.

One of the MVS exclusives I really like is Super Dodge Ball, it's an excellent game.

I got my answers from digging a little on Neo Geo.com. The 161 cart reset does not function when a memory card is in use. You can disable the memory card on the Omega, but it requires opening it up and messing with jumpers and what not.

The region issue could be the memory card as well, it was recommended that you try reformatting it, or it could be the battery.

Since this is a heavily modified CMVS, I hope to hell the battery was replaced during the build. I'm going to try reformatting; if that doesn't work, I'm going to leave the console on for several hours to ensure the battery is charged. If that doesn't work, I guess I'll pop it open to see how the battery looks.
