+Charlie Cat Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Well, I got my 2nd KOF '98 today and...sound's missing... Even more obviously missing than last time around. In the very familiar spoken-word intro, the only words mine speaks are "Two, Three!" with no prior static sound, and then there's just background tune afterwards. (there do appear to be faint clicks as if it's trying to kick a longish sound sample off) At first I thought maybe this whole thing was because the dreamcast version was what I used to play and maybe it had overhauled sounds--It did, but not *THAT* overhauled. (see vid below of proper kof98) So the broken sounds seem different on this kof98 compared to my old one. I surely would have noticed the lyrics from the attract mode missing *INSTANTLY*. I haven't played this one much, but I noticed a new (slight) graphical glitching on the first intro ("??? ??? ???") screen which my other one doesn't have, but the obviously missing intro voices of the other one (at least initially) seem to be there. I is confuse. Unibios says the CRC checks out. I'll have to crack it open later, but I expect it's legit. I'll also have to try it in my cabinet. As is, I'm suspecting a system incompatibility issue with my Omega. My MVS cab flatly refuses to play Rage of Dragons, which is a somewhat known thing that can happen, so it might be like that but less severe. Memorable intro lyrics in the vid below: edit: heh, page 98 of the thread, how fitting. KOF '98 is my favorite out of the series Reaper. I was also the first in the series to purchase for my Neo-Geo AES collection. I played 98 the most out of all the King of Fighters that were created. Still my all time favorite from the franchise!

Mine too--though, under the circumstances, I've been forced to elevate KoF '99 into my 'most played' slot over the last decade or so. I played the heck out of '98 on Dreamcast and NGCD, but I sadly not much at all in the days since I got my MVS. The whole situation kind of reminds me of the time that I bought 3 copies of chaotix for 32x because none of them worked, and I thought I was getting bad carts. As it turned out, it was an incompatibility with the specific revision of genesis that my 32x was plugged into causing the problem.

KOF '99 did have its charm by having some nice looking stages (the garden & airport locations) and the music was pretty good for it as well. The art styles for the characters were nice and when I purchased the JP AES version, it came with a phone card. Fun game, but 98 was still better (IMO). Anthony...

+Charlie Cat Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hi guys, Back again with GRUSS Newton. Mr.Newton recently did a stream regarding Neo-Geo titles for over an hour. In his stream, he played Neo Drift Out, Metal Slug 1, Blazing Star, and more. Hope you enjoy his game play stream and will be glad to se more from Mr.Newton in the future!

+madman Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Again, I don't understand what value he thinks that video brings. He's just credit feeding without adding ANY value whatsoever. I'm not trying to be a naysayer, I honestly, truly do not understand what value that video is supposed to bring that all the other Neo Geo gameplay videos don't have. In terms of Metal Slug, he's not very skilled at the game, even by his own admission. He doesn't discuss the scoring mechanics or tricks to maximize your score and he doesn't know where the hidden items are. So...what's the point? What is a viewer supposed to get out of that? Please tell me what I'm missing here because I don't understand these videos at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me what I'm missing here because I don't understand these videos at all. This's another gamer that plays the Neo-Geo. . In this video, (like many others) its for the entertainment of the game rather than perfect play throughs. Were mistakes made? Yes. Were they flawless? No.. But its the dedication and time that they offer for the enjoyment for others to watch! Unfortunately, I'm not the best Metal Slug gamer. In fact, I do the same by putting more credits than usual to continue. But I like the series and continue playing them because for the entertainment value the series bring! Just like the many other gamers that enjoy them and share them for the community. That's some of the reasons why we befriend others here and continue the love for gaming on the thread. What's the point some ask? Its to show others that they have in interest for what they enjoy and for others to view them that share a passion for what they like. As humans, were not perfect. Yet, we try our hardest to be! That's why many on this thread became friends and participate on each others Facebook, Twitter, Hitbox, Twitch, and YouTube accounts. Not only that, they continue to love the Neo-Geo and try to perfect their skills in the games they play for others to partake in. Notice the weekly Neo-Geo challenge here. If players can do better and provide others to show their skills to the public, that great. It will promote others to continue for what they have a devotion to, and help continue their gaming for improvement! Anthony...

What was the viewer supposed to gain from watching that video? A guy likes playing Neo Geo, that's great. But if the video offers nothing, why post it? Other than to get "likes" and views.

Reaperman Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) So, using the superpowers of google, it seems as though the korean KOF98 is lacking japanese speech, and that's a common thing for them to do in that market. I suppose that explains my first KOF98, but the second one with the missing english intro but lots of japanese voice samples is probably just having trouble. I'll have to have a look at the solder on it tomorrow--with some luck, it will be like my revived panic bomber, and have a few obviously bad joints in it. Since there is clicking where voice samples should be, I'm a little hopeful. if not...well, I'll be shopping for a third KOF98 at some point another half-decade in the future, I suppose.

The point was for a clueless gamer to jump on a social media bandwagon and get "likes" and views by posting videos from an emulator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the value in YOU posting that video? What did YOU think anyone would learn from it? What was I supposed to gain from watching that video? Don't respond with "this gentleman found value in posting this video." That's not what I'm asking. I'm asking you, the person who shared the video, what you thought, us, the viewers, were supposed to gain from it. Him showing others the video is has nothing to do with what I'm asking so please don't reply with that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Charlie Cat Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi guys, Back again with fellow Atariage member NeoTurboManic. Today Neo has a compilation of short videos regarding the Elgato captue device to see the quality difference for future videos to help improve future reviews and play throughs. From the description, "I recorded about one minute of gameplay using the Elgato video capture device to see how the quality looks on YouTube, so I will be taking this down shortly, since this is just a test run, but let me know what you think. I recently bought this device and the video quality is better than my previous device." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIzx1XuL7cY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjqTx1F5XLk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iFMpWAt2Z4 Anthony... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I've been doing some window shopping on ebay for games I can't really afford, and was reminded just how much I like Matrimelee.

Htaed7 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Hows it going guys? Htaed7 here, bringing my entry for the weekly challenge: Samsho! Yes, the game/series that saved me from "fighting game fatigue" LOL, yup this here, is a thing of beauty. ported to every console known by men (but NEVER as good as the original) Samurai Showdown Now my score may seem pathetic the keen eye, but rest assured i give not one ...erm care, for the fun to be had nullifies any need for high scores, (at least in MY mind) hahaha. Always fresh, from one iteration to the next, with not ONLY updated graphics and sound but GAMEPLAY mechanics to keep you glued to your seats, if i had the money, i would probably have a special edition bronze/silver plated Neo Geo with the samurai series alone (that's how much this series mean to me!) Aside from the gushing, i leave the video here for your viewing and hope that it sparks some enthusiasm from the rest of guys to go at it too. **sidenote**: i will soon do the Samurai Shodown: Retrospective where i plan to showcase every title in the series including the Taito X2 version, so stay tuned have a great night guys!
