finally got my neo geo :(

i got a question but i am asking this dumb one just cuz the fact that this system is older then dirt. sometimes the system messes up on me will get all this block shaped crap and stuff i just got it pre-used from buyrite yeah i know i'm a moron don;t have to say that for purchasing from them should i send it back or is that normal for them games to sometimes mess up? lol it usually works pretty good just every now and then it messes up

I'm afraid you'll run into lots hassles if you ask Buyrite for refund, exchange or so.....

My best bet is to send your AES to someone that knows how to fix: Jeff, Arcade....

buyrite said they would exchange it i had no hassel talkin to them they said they would test the other system they send out before they send it so i guess i will just do that and wait another 3 dam weeks <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">

How about just ask Buyrite for refund ?
You'll find AES for sale in the Selling section in here......
Plus is cheaper

i'd rather have a mvs arcade system lol so maybe i'll see if i can get a refund and then try and get a mvs system

Good idea Shingo. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

hmmmm i got a another question? could it be that the system is over-heating? cuz i had it on the floor and i know your not supposed to put systems on the floor cuz it can;t cool it's self right? lol (i'm dumb) or i was thinkin it might be my copy of metal slug 3 cuz my copy of samurai showdown had not messed up on me one time! but the metal slug 3 messes up every great once in a while? i'm gonna try and describe what the system is doin maybe someone with knowledge of this stuff can tell me possibly if its the game or system or the best bet on it? so i know what to return or whatever u get the picture. but metal slug 3 has messed up on me like 2 times. it all the sudden does this weid thing the screen messes up and its all messed up lookin like little blocks of color but the game is till goin. it kinda does what the nes did when it messed up and had all the spots and blocks on the screen. maybe the system needs to be cleaned but i have no idea how to do it. SORRY for buggin all of u. just never had a neo system in my life just was a die hard fan of there arcade machines. anyway thanks for your help all!

I've never heard of the system overheating, the board doesn't even get very warm after a marathon playing session (yes, I've checked)

First of all...clean dat bitch! =D

Ya know Shingo, I end up responding to everything you write, mostly because I went through everything you are going through about a month ago... <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Anyway, like I was saying, try to get an old universal cartridge cleaning kit, the kind that also have a tool for cleaning the cart slots also. I have an old Perfomance one that works well on all of my systems, including the Neo. My neo would have strange blockiness 1 out of every 4 times I booted it, but now it never does that after a good swift cleaning. Once in a while my Fatal Fury 2 cart does it, but it's the only one (out of my total 8) that messes up.

Also... is you Metal Slug 3 new? I don't have it yet, but I've read on these forums that some new copies of Metal Slug 3 mess up when you first use them. One theory is that there is some residue on the cart contacts that wears away after it is inserted and pulled out a few times. If it's used though, obviously this wouldn't be the problem. Just a thought...

Of course, if all else fails, you can send me your Metal Slug 3, I can give it a loving home.

GohanX is right,the overheating problem only occurs with CD-systems.
I have never heared about an 'hot' cartridge system...
And even with the CD-based ones,it doesn't matter if it's the floor or somewhere else,as long as you place it on a flat surface and keep the ventilation holes free!

There still can be problems with certain Paystations,though! <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">

Damn Buyrite, they gave a "Neo AES playstation" to Shingo......... <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">

Fortunately you can play import (EURO or JPN) game by using SWAP method....... <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
