This is the same one I have in mine only I bought mine from a US distro of course. But this is Furrtek's design that allows use of the CD Drive still. Unless you have a CDZ model?

I have not bought a NEO-GEO console yet. Just weighing out options etc... lol

I am a player and a collector. Love physical media over digital/roms. How reliable is the NEO-GEO CD drive? I know it reads slower than the CDZ console. 🤔 I would prefer to actually buy physical discs rather than add roms. 

The Neo Geo CD (the black consoles) overall is reliable, out of all the units I have, the CDZ, and the AES, the top loader single speed CD units never failed me. And I had them for 20+ years and still run like they just came off the assembly line  There's also a front loader CD console that only 25,000 were made. It cost more, so the black top loader version is the cheaper option.. The CDZ do get hot because of a design error in which SNK didn't make the unit have the proper air flow underneath the unit.

 

As for building physical collection, I don't blame you for wanting to do so Shane. In fact, the very first game that was for the Neo-Geo that I ever purchase in my life was a King of Fighters' 99 for the NGCD. What was fascinating as I found out later on was that particular title turned out to be the final official released game by SNK for the NGCD. :)

Consolized mvs systems are a good option, pre-made ones usually use actual mvs boards have more output options and nice form factors but you don't get this

Wish me luck! I purchased a Top Loading laser drive and brackets for my Neo-Geo CD. The videos I’ve seen show the repair process as easy and simple.

 

You remove the original laser drive and replace it with a new one; Nothing special is needed. I’ll document my progress once the part arrives. Sure, I have a fully functional CMVS, BUT I have a large collection of Neo-Geo CD games. I can’t see abandoning the console, you know?

Ok. So I have decided I'm definitely buying a NEO-GEO CD(unmodded) because I actually want to buy and play physical discs.

Was wondering on best output/display options connecting it to a HDTV. Anybody using the Hyperkin Hdtv cable, is it any good?

A little something from Mad Little Pixel:

I know that this was already covered now that I think about it, but at least those replacement shells are great for making homebrew cartridges.

Good Shane, we respect your decision to do so. Once that day comes of you purchasing a NGCD unit, feel free to share pics of it if you like bro.  We would love to see it. :)

 

As for the Hyperskin HDTV Cable I have one and use it on one of my TV's. I personally play Neo-Geo on CRT units, but this piece is good to have and worth the price.. :)

The cables from Hyperkin just convert the analog image into digital, you should look for cables that upscale the image so it looks right in an HDTV, they usually have a "2X" logo or the resolutions it supports on the box. Anything equal or higher than 480p should look good enough.

Decided to buy this one. UK seller, so minus shipping and extra fees. Console looks to be in great condition and boxed.

Only modification is the PAL/NTSC Region switch. Comes with a new power supply by stoneagegamer, which is apparently the best replacement power supply. Arriving next week...

Oh wow! This looks like an awesome unit you purchased Shane. I like the switch in the back that was done to it. We can't wait to see you start playing on it for you to enjoy the many games that's offered for the NGCD. Hope that the unit will give you many years on enjoyment bro. :)
