Does your 2-slot not handle Playmore titles?
Yes it does 2-slots,4-slots and 6-slots play snkp titles.

I'm thinking of switching to a, MV-1C one becuse there compact... plus they play the snkp titles.

The other 1-slots don't such as the MV-1F and MV-1B don't

NES is the only console I have where the AV port is on the side.  My TG-16 + CD has 'em on the back, though NEC is quite the confused console maker.  Genesis 3 doesn't even count as, well, anything.  Imagine a DVD player or whatnot with the AV jacks on the side.  I see this A LOT in the console mod community... there seems to be an overwhelming urge to put the jacks on the side.  My AES has an RGB bypass so it is better than the typical AES RGB.  I've never seen an MVS with a proper RGB jack, at least one that I can buy a SCART cable for.

Since you feel Scart is the proper rgb jack for you,I suggest you move to the UK. I seriously doubt every console you have bought has a Scart jack right out of the box,correct? Therefore it is safe to assume you had them modded or you bought Scart cables for the newer systems 32-bit on up. A MVS can also be modded in the same manner to support Scart. This is what most UK MVS colsolizers do last I checked... Besides,I know why you like Scart,you have your consoles modded for Scart support so you can convert it to Component with a  Scart to Component adapter. Nothing new.

No, I meant like a normal 8-pin DIN jack like the AES.  Obviously it can be done.  Just use a port from a TurboTap (that's what I did for my Turbo CD).

Anyway all joking aside, the MVS does confuse me with its many slots and now some of them can't even play Playmore titles?  I know there are options in some games that can't be had when played on an MVS.

Last I heard some AES decks get issues with Playmore titles too. its the really old first gen decks MVS wise. On MVS decks like the 2-slot the bios is socketed,you can swap it in about 4 mins with a uni-bios if it so pleases you.

So what the hell was Playmore programming for if MVS and AES have troubles?  Some sort of Neo Geo 1.1 edition?  I know Playmore is quirky, but damn!

Ehh,that kinda stuff happens on alot when hardware revisions change here and there. Happened on Genesis,Snes,ect...

Any Neo hardware I ever owned has never had any probs with Playmore carts though myself. But I may have just been lucky.

Yup hardware revisions beside snkp being lazy... on not making sure there games worked on every board.

Since you showed your cmvs 2-slot. You wouldn't have a problem with any, snkp title any ways since they play every thing.

Yea,I had figured as much,because I never got any problems with any title with it or any of the newer boards.

The later Playmore titles are "OK". I did not care for what they did to KOF except for KOF 2003. Sam Showdown 5 is ok,but I'm not crazy for it. Same way with Metal Slug 4,and I hate Metal Slug 5. I don't think everything they do sucks,but I def feel the change in quality is apparent from before Playmores time. It sjust odd to because my understanding is most of the originals are back at the helm,yet you really cant tell can you? Metal Slug 6 was the first title by them other then KOF2k3 and SNKvsCap  Chaos that I felt was really impressive 2dwise.

I'd like to know who came up with the name "Playmore".  I feel that everything bad that ever happened is his fault.  I bet he was disappointed that the name "THQ" was already taken.

Playmore is a retarded name. Eolith was interesting, but still not a comfortable sounding name.

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I remember reading this interview with some Americans that worked for Playmore like a month after SNK became SNK Playmore. I can't really tell you all what they said, but I remember thinking, "Damn, these guys are a$$holes!".

Eolith was the team of programmers they used,kinda like Treasure.
