Hi, hope some of you could clear this up for me.
On ebay.co.uk there is an auction for KOF 2001 for the AES. It's the Jap version, but in the description it says that it will not work on a PAL AES (my AES is PAL).
I emailed this to the seller:
All AES games should work on any AES system no matter what region
This is the sellers reply:
Hi,
You're correct for all SNK releases... However, since Playmore took over the whole of Neo-Geo after SNK's collapse in 2001 all home releases have been NTSC compatible only. Even the US releases have had 'NTSC ONLY' warning labels on the inserts. Something you would not see on a US release under SNK (because the carts were coded to be PAL compatible).
The games affected are:
KoF 2001
Metal Slug 4
Rage of the Dragons
KoF 2002
And one assumes New Power Instinct (not released until Easter) will be the same.
Although I have not tested the game on a PAL unit (I specialise in Japanese AES games and equipment), I've read several reports saying the cart displays
distorted graphics and sound. I hear it's just about playable...
I've seen MS4 running on a PAL unit and the sound is distorted and the graphics
show loads of glitches.(end quote)
This is the first I've heard of this.
Can someone confirm this please.
