+Charlie Cat Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Hi guys, Back with AtariAge member @NeoTurboManiac. Here we see him doing an excellent review of NeoGeo: A Visual History from Bitmap Books. A thumping good read for sure. Enjoy. From the description, "Here is a viewing of the Neo·Geo: A Visual History book by Bitmap Books. This book contains 400 pages of interviews, historical information, box and pixel arts, sketches, artwork, conceptual drawings, and more. Enjoy!" Anthony..

Thank you for stopping by and glad to have you on with us. Were welcoming to newcomers and veterans that enjoy the Neo-Geo and SNK products. We hope you'll enjoy yourself on here. Feel free to ask any question that you have in mind. Will be glad to answer them for you as best as we can in a prompt manner. Welcome aboard. Ah! So you're the new owner of this beautiful Neo-Geo AES unit Lime. Thanks fantastic. You're right, it's in impeccable condition and amazing to see it. Everything looks great for it's age for sure. Seeing that this is a Neo-O unit, it's Japanese. Do you have a Unibios installed or have any games for your console yet bro? If you need any reference to find anything to add to your console, will be thrilled to forward you to reputable members in the community that will be to your benefit. Amazing! You also had MVS consolized systems as well. Now that's cool Lime. Do you still have those consoles in your collection? Glad to have you participating with us Lime. Congrats on your AES system and we can't wait to see more from you here on the Neo-Geo thread and throughout AtariAge. Thank you again and enjoy what we offer. Anthony... Thanks for the warm welcome!! It doesn't have a unibios. I'm fine woth running games in the japanese region, though more options would be nice. I'm not really one to solder so it probably isn't in my future regardless lol. I have a neo sd coming in, and I plan on getting some games physically over the years thst mean a lot to me. Each of the consolized mvs systems are gone, including a bardtop build I owned once. Ive had to reset my collection a few times thanks to life and also due to feeling like I had too much (being a minimalist and a retro gamer is a narrow rope to walk on lol). I just got the system in the mail today. Smells like newspaper and cigarettes, so its from japan, alright lol. Kinda sucks I dont have my neo sd yet but ill wait as patiently as I can. One thing is like to upgrade sooner than later is the fight stick. It feels incredibly cheap ans hollow, if thats a good way to put it. I'll have to figure out what I can do button wise to improve it. Also, my joystick ball is cracked and ill need to find a replacement for that as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I use to receive a few AES units from Japan. It smelled like newspapers and cigarette too. I had to air them out for a few hours before betting the scent to bearable. Then i would give them a good gentle cleaning to remove the dirt and dust off them. Yuck! ? As for a good fighting stick, have you considered the option of purchasing a Neo-Geo Hori fighting stick? Those are awesome to have. They might be on the expensive side, but they are well worth owning. The NGCD controller is also great to have as well. Nice clicky pad that's great for convenience.

Steven Pendleton Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah, that Neo Geo CD controller is really great. Glad you talked me into buying one of those... need to find a way to get it working on the MiSTer. Anyway, apparently the console versions of Andro Dunos II have some issues, and that the console versions were not made by Picorinne Soft, who made the original PC version. I don't know exactly what the details are with the console versions, but I do know that the PC version is damn excellent. Kind of moderately worried about the Dreamcast and 3DS versions now...

I regret not getting the one that I did see 2 years ago. The price scared me away, but after using the AES controller for some time, I've realized that the AES controller's ergonomics are pretty terrible. Right now I am using this ultra-sexy controller for arcade games, including Neo Geo games on the MiSTer, and I love it. Extremely highly recommended, and it works on PC, MiSTer, PS3, PS4, and PS5. https://stores.horiusa.com/real-arcade-pro-n-hayabusa-for-playstation-4/ Edited March 29, 2022 by Steven Pendleton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony.. It's a great controller and I definitely think it's worth it. Best part is that it uses the relatively uncommon and extremely comfortable Namco Noir button layout, which is very close to the Sega Astro City layout. I LOVE playing on the Astro City, which is why I chose this controller. It's kind of huge and heavy, but it's really good. The only negative aspect of it is the way the turbo works. The only choices are 5, 12, and 20Hz, and as far as I know, there is no way to have buttons with different rates of fire. This is only really an issue with things like MAME, where you might want different rates of fire on different buttons, as things like Arcade Archives and M2 ShotTriggers let you set multiple rates of fire anyway. I'd like to have 15 and 30Hz as options, but 12 and 20 Hz are generally good enough for most things. I played Real Bout Special with it last night. I haven't played the game in a while, so I kind of forgot how to play it properly... I did manage to 1CC the game once, but I can't do that now.

This is good stuff to read about . Anthony.. It's a good stick. I've been using it almost daily since early January and I have no desire to get a different stick. I like it so much that I want to find a way to use it on the Switch and Xbox 360 instead of getting separate sticks for those systems. I thought about giving it some Astro City artwork, but I decided to keep it the way it is. I bought some official Toaplan t-shirts the other day and each came with a Toaplan sticker, so I might put some Toaplan stickers on there, but it looks great stock and it performs well, even across multiple systems, so it's quite useful. I avoided the arcade and Neo Geo cores on the MiSTer since I didn't have a proper arcade controller, but now that I do, I have been trying a lot of games and it's worked perfectly so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Charlie Cat Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi guys, Great info from AtariAge member @Steril707 on his upcoming game Inviyya 2. I hope an AES version will be available. Michael Borrmann Hey guys, currently working on my new shooter INVIYYA2:Hyperblaster and these are some screenshots from the demo I presented a few days ago. Everything here is hand pixeled, no 3D rendered assets. Runs currently on the A1200, but I will be integrating this into my Neo Geo Framework over the next weeks and will try to get a NeoSD demo out. Have fun. PS: If you want to follow the games development, please check out or even subscribe to https://www.facebook.com/Inviyya Thanks for your interest, Michael/Tigerskunk Add/edit: Because a couple of people wrote me about it: Yes, a cartridge version is planned. Currently looking into how to get this being produced. Seems MVS is quite probable, AES not so much. Anthony.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
