neme, the phantom1 works %100 with all Neo consoles technically, sad thing is that the console was released over 10 years ago, many equipped with cheaper quality slots (fine for home carts). Over the years the slots get looser which is the problem.

Basically if your AES cart port pins are tight enough, the phantom 1 will work fine.

If the pins are loose & have had a lot of use, you'll need to have the cart port pins tightened or port replaced (contact Ray at <a href="http://www.neogeousa.com" target="_blank">http://www.neogeousa.com</a> )

The Phantom 1 works with ALL MVS carts. I have an AES with replaced slots, and it works great & flawlessly.

Shipping to Canada is a tad pricey though :(

I have an older neo, and I just tightened the screws and the phantom works fine, I have chipped pieces off of the molding on both sides,(one side was kind of chipped when I bought it), but I have had no problems other than the fact that the mvs carts are a bitch to get out on mine.

That explains it nicely. Thank you, sir.
