WTB Neo Geo MVS TO AES converter
- Thread starter dcx516
- Start date
Actually let me save you the hassle. You'll want to get rid of your AES and get a CMVS. Those adapters aren't going to cut it, believe me, i know, i had one. There are graphical scaling issues and most carts require a slight adjustment to be made with a mini screwdriver, which is extremely annoying. Just sell your AES and grab a CMVS and then just buy MVS carts. Its the best way, trust me, i was just through this myself 
The only issues I've ever had with the SCII is scaling with the Fatal Fury titles where the character sprites will get abit pixelated on the 2nd fighting plane,nothing really major. I rarely if at all found myself having to adjust that scew.
It is easy to insert and remove MVS carts from your SCII unlike the P-1 and it won't damge(loosen) the AES cartridge slot over time like the P-1.
Metal Slug X combined with any AES that wont output 5V 3A will not work with any of the converters.
If you're going to purchase a convereter,SCII is really your only option imo.

don't listen to xmods, these super converters II are absolutely awesome, I have one (the new one with blue led) and all games I have play perfectly, + you'll have original Neo Geo which is totally slick looking.
I never had to adjust anything, like I said - everything plays perfect.
it's totally worth it.
if you really want to be able to play MVS - go for cab, not consolized system ^_~.
if you want neo in your house and you need neo console system - go for real thing - AES with super converter ^^

X-mods while harsh is pretty much correct in his statements.
If you just want to play the games you may want to go the CMVS or Super Gun/slot mobo route.
There are issues you will have with all of the converters and I feel like Dr.Neo should have did more tests before placing his Super Neo Converter on the market.
This is what I know now specific to the super mvs convereter(blue led) I owned.
There aere scaling issues in Fatal Fury Titles and Kizuna Encounter(just learned about Kizuna). Random Resetting of AES playing newer titles like MS5,MS4,MS3,SNKvs Capcom,KOF2003 while using an AES that outputs 5v 3A . There is no resetting while playing them in an AES that outputs 10V 1000ma(JPN AES) but the JPN AES will not play Metal SLug X so if you have a JPN system that outputs 10V 1000ma you can play all games with no problems with the exception of Metal Slug X.

Make sure your converter is tested out thoroughly before it's sold to you if you purchase one.

Big Bear is exactly right, even though some people claim to not have any issues with the SCII the truth is that its only about 1 out of 7 that have no problems, we even had members here who got a replacement SCII and still had the same problem.
But to each his own. If the converters worked perfectly 100% I would still have my AES.
No MVS to AES converter can beat a CMVS, not to mention on a consolized MVS you dont have to worry about adjusting things like a screw to play a game.
So it is really up to you, I think you will probably do the same as everyone who has a CMVS and that is keep the AES for a bit and get a converter and realize that you sould change over. I mean for the price of the converter you can get a CMVS, then sell your AES and AES games and get some MVS games probably double the amount of games you had on AES for the same price.
Of course with MVS you can either go straight gamer or collector, yes there is MVS collectors. For one there were some MVS games that were never released on the home console.

While the CMVS is 100% compatible with all games,durability comes into question with users who are not tech savvy . What do they do when the slot board goes bad? The breakdown ratio of a slot mobo compared to that of an AES you would have to state is like 20:1 maybe?
I believe that the SCII issues CAN be worked out but I believe the beneficiary of solutions should address these issues himself,that being DR.NEO who should have tested his SCII thoroughly before placing it on the market.

phantom?
you mean Super MVS Converter II.
it plays ALL GAMES, the safest bet is to have US system(with 5v ac adapter for MSX) and JPN system with 10v ac adapter(it plays all games except MSX).
super ac adapter may come handy, I don't have it.
there aren't any games that won't work on it.

phantom doesn't work with Metal Slug 5, snk vs capcom and king of fighters 2003.
it's foolish to go with phantom - you will feel like you're breaking your aes slot, phantom and your mvs games by putting them all together.

The Phantom-1 has always been a true disastrous experience for me. The last one I purchased which I believe was this year from X_______ would extend the AES cartridge port and MVS cartridge connecters so bad I deem it my expensive paperweight.

I've no issues with my P1 since it's purchase. Yes, it doesn't play 3 or 4 of the newer titles, but it works on every AES system of mine.
I've had terrible luck with the Super MVS Converter II. The pot is too touchy, not to mention it's an inconvenience to tweak it every time I play a different title.
Go with what you're comfortable with; that's the best choice.

I have just seen the light.
I used to have an AES with a converter (P1), and not only could you not play the newer games, but any scaling usually had some hefty glitches.
I now have a CMVS and I couldn't be happier.

I wouldn't say that they are junk; they fit the purpose if someone wants to keep their AES system/collection.
Normally, I use my CMVS to play my MVS carts, but when my AES is hooked up, I will use the Phantom1.
