AES or MVS?

[MrBroadway]

I played both of the Sonic Wings games on the Neo Geo CD. They were the epitome of average. Absolutely nothing special or noteworthy about them. Even the music sucked. The average SNES shooter is much better.

I thought they were better than average. I really liked the first one on the SNES, though. So much action and no slowdown.

As a neo-geo guy I want to clear a few things up from this thread.

1.) If you go MVS, try to avoid 4 and 6 slot boards. They are notorious for issues, especially the 6 slot boards.
2.) MVS is going to be all around cheaper and give you more options but requires more 'up-keep'.
3.) They make MVS to AES converters for playing MVS carts on the AES, but are fairly expensive and not compatible with some multicarts.
4.) Multislot cabs and multislot boards are NOT JAMMA, but a variation that has stereo sound. Only the single slot boards, and cabs are JAMMA. Some single slot boards however are capable of outputing stereo via a header on the board or a 2.5mm headphone jack.

I guess I should one day invest in a MVS to AES converter so I can get more use out of my AES system.........and memory card

but I am such a tight wad! ........

What would you recommend as the best one? I've seen a bunch and always here a mix of things about them. The Daedalus looked good but seems expensive and apparently the guy was ripping people off from what i heard. Something weird of the sorts

Isnt that to be expected when it comes to Neo Geo stuff?

Pretty easy to solve this by an adapter (either MVS > JAMMA, or vice versa). 6 Slots are definitely the most failure prone (2 6 slots, 2 with faults), but the 4 slots I've had have always been solid.

The best MVS converter, IMO, is the MVS Magic Key. The latest version has very good compatibility and the scaling issue has been fixed. It also has region changing and a cheat menu built-in.

I love both versions.  if you are on a budget, go for mvs. if you got the money, go for aes. I collect for aes, mvs and cd. aes is expensive but there are still good deals to be found on aes games if you are patient

[EvilEvoIX]

I have an AES and 22 games, it's getting stupid expensive though and I wouldn't recommend an AES these days unless you are looking to spend serious coin.  $900 for a 4 slot is crazy expensive, I got mine for half that with six games.  Looking into an Mvs and a multicart, cheapest way to get the full experience for the least amount of cash.

[esteban]

Nah, there are no boots. Btw, I have a US Aero Fighters 3 AES I'd like to sell you. $30,000 OK?

  Don't joke about things like that. Someone might think you're serious and offer you a cash deal

Damn, wish it weren't a joke.

Ya really don't:

A: I was reading that STUPID THREAD at n-g.com forums. Fake Aerofighters 3. I read all 46 pages of that garbage. Honestly, I don't know why. I will never do that again.

Just wait until you find out that there are other threads connected to it. Rest easy, though, since of all the hilarious scandals to come out of N-G.com, this one takes the cake.

Damn! Other threads...crap, I gotta read them. I was actually starting to become curious about the history of some folks involved....you could tell it was total soap opera.

Also: DID TONK EVER SURFACE? Ever?

I'm serious.


So, yeah, post some links, to anything, because clearly I'm addicted now. Ha!

Hahahahahahahahaha! 

I can't believe how dysfunctional Internet forums are. Folks have such a desire for drama.

Is that SSV Specual real or a bootleg?
