Hey:

So let me get this straight:

A Debug BIOS chip will allow you to play MVS carts on your AES, and you can buy one for $20? Why, then, would anyone pay $300 for a Phantom converter?

no, debug bios doesn't let you PLAY MVS CARTS, it only allows you to access the MVS MENU/MODE...

that is, you can treat your AES carts just like MVS CARTS (arcade style) with the insert coin and stuff like that....

hope that helps

Ummmm... (from the Glossary)

Debug/BIOS Mod

Modification that allows the Neo Geo home system to open up the debug/BIOS menu that arcade operators use (since the MVS and AES carts are the same program). Required the installation of a special add-on chip to change the regular AES BIOS chip into the arcade chip.

...

It does not let you play MVS cartridges on a home system.
