I just got the Shock Troopers 2 for MVS, and found that it has no save. Then I remember somewhere hearing that this game had no save option. I am not complaining. Infact, it's kind of good for the replay value in my opinion. Was wondering, if there are other Neo Geo games out there that had no save option?

Hey terry,
How d'you get the memory card set up on the mvs installed.I heard you need a memory card mini pcb which attaches onto older mvs one slot boards and 6 slots.You get the memory card pcb attach it,via two wide rectangular pin edge connectors to the mvs board.And then you just need the memory card.
But I thought that Snk games stopped using the memory card as I never saw an SNK cabinet down an arcade have a memory card slot since maybe 1995.
So in this case is it true that games such as Metal slug,1,2,3 all have meory card save options?

Hmm. Sorry, I have the MVS-Neo Geo converter , and not the MVS unit. So I can't answer that question. But the arcade units I played had no memory card slots too. I think they actually have them periodically on ebay for around $50 or so, I think. But that shouldn't be a problem w/ the converter. For example, I have fairly recent MVS carts like Blazing Star, Breakers Revenge, KOF 97, and the likes, and I can save w/out any problem.

Infact, MVS cart like Last Blade has the same exact option as the home version. In addition to normal options, There is the short version and the practice mode--unlike on the aracde. Nice

What you need is the memory card reader (looked for the pic I have but can't find it) and an older PCB. Although, any of a 1, 2, 4 or 6-slot board will support them, since I have seen them all in effect. And don't worry about new games having no save. I have Metal Slug 3 files on two or three of my cards.
