This is ridiculous, just look for a Magician Lord MVS cart, it shouldn't be that hard nor expensive to find, for God's sake :oh_no:

I haven't seen an AES to MVS convert before, I have only seen MVS to AES conversions. You could find the real MVS cart pretty easy....

I've done many. You wouldn't believe how many people want certain titles on their MVS system

It would probably be cheaper to buy a new car than have you butcher some carts. :kekeke:

What titles do people usually want? I'm curious since most MVS carts are cheaper or the same price as the AES cart.

The only one I can think of is KOF 97 since:

KOF 97 AES is rather Cheap and Very Usable for a Sac Cart


KOF 97 MVS is the hardest KOF to find and one of the most expensive.

I dont have an AES, but the idea of ruining a cart for use on the MVS bothers me for some reason. I havent seen any KOF games over 25 bucks outside of new kits, or loose copies of 2k3. Most of the older MVS KOFs I do see are 10-20 dollar range.

Yeah, I also think this is pointless just play your AES cart and enjoy it! If you still want to convert the AES game to MVS you have my blessing. Not that you need it.

OH GOD---------------

I dont have a AES system anymore.
I want to have magician lord. I didnt found it on Ebay yet.
Anyone have it and want to sell it to me?
If yes, better than converting.

This thread is crazy!!!! I mean, why would anyone want to ruin an NGH cart in favor of it being an MVS cart. Talk about backwards thinking?

The question is: would as many people react as bad if he was talking about converting a MVS cart to NGH? (he would still need to sacrifice a NGH cart anyway)

True, but knowing you can track down MVS carts easier than AES carts is what bothers me the most. I mean, MVS games are usually cheaper than their home counterparts.

Most mvs carts, but not all. Ironically, some aes carts are far more common and cheaper than their mvs couterparts. Nam 1975 and Magician Lord spring to mind. I've only seen Nam 1975 on mvs for sale a couple of times and it's gone for around 50 quid. On aes you can get it for a tenner, no problem. I can understand why some people would want aes converted to mvs.

Personally, I'd rather stick to original carts. I have both aes and mvs consoles. That way I can buy games on whichever format is cheapest.

Not that crazy

well Gamefan I dont see it as crazy since I can find and get a Magicin Lord aes in my city, really cheap. I dont have an aes and will not buy one. And (no offence) since I get the aes cart, and pay for it, I can do anything to it since is my money involved. Of course I dont like the idea of converting. But the possibilities of doing it is something that I like. Information is something very cool. Instead of calling me crazy , help me finding a Magician Lord in MVS format.
Thanks!

First off, I am not calling you crazy, I am calling the idea of it all crazy. My reasoning is simple, an AES cart is a thing of beauty. It has a case, manual, lovely sticker on the cartridge. An MVS cart has a label and that is it. If you want to convert it, go ahead, it is yours, you own it. I just think with patience and a little effort, you can find a Magician Lord MVS for around $30.00 -$ 50.00. I used to be able to find them all the time on Ebay.

Hmm there could be another issue especially if you only have a regular MVS BIOS. Isn't the romsets different for the AES compared to the MVS version of the cart? I remember the continuing differences when you die start you off at different locations. I doubt that the game wouldn't work but then again you never know. Could end up buggy or something. My advice, just be patient and get it MVS. It's not a rare title. I bet in just a few days if you post it in the wanted section someone will have it for you.

You don't know how this stuff works. The romsets of AES and MVS games are EXACTLY the same (except in some of the lastest releases like SS0S), the differences are caused by the bios. Therefore conversions like this one are totally feasible and bug-free if done right.

Again, I don't see why it is OK to butcher a MVS cart and not an AES cart. OK, AES ones are more beatiful and usually more expensive, but still sounds a bit rough. And remember that for a conversion in one way or the other you need 2 carts, one for each system. I agree he should just look for an original Magician Lord MVS cart anyway.
