That would work sooooo sweet for dev... where can I get me one... Flame me if you wish, but I need a better dev cart then the socketed EP dealy...

I have a MGD2 but I don't have the Neo Geo components for it.

I had heard about them back in the NES/SNES/Genesis days... knew a kid that had one, but never knew it branched over to Neo Geo... guess it would make sense, and be incredibly rare... still a great dev cart. Their GB/GBA system and carts are top notch. I know Bung helps people with teh romz... but, they have also helped me out tons with game programming...

Oh man, the pic is so funny!

Has anybody anymore info about this MGD2 device?

Anyway, 72M is megabytes or megabits?

Talen · Jun 26, 2003

Mb. I remember the MGD2 not handling the games over a couple hundred Mb.

kernow · Jun 26, 2003

Definately megabits.. expensive too I imagine for that much DRAM.

also obviously pre-encryption era

Amano Jacu · Jun 26, 2003

Oh well, if it can only handle 288 megabits then it isn't even worth bothering... Just curious: how much would a set-up like that cost?

About encryptation, there are sets of decrypted roms out there, so wouldn't they work just the same?

I couldn't fill up 288mbits with my own code.

It'd probably cost less than a new homecart.

pm me with information, I'd love to discuss stuff like deving, I'm just a bit stuck

supergoose · Jun 26, 2003

i remember reading about such devices. they were like $900 in the mid 90s.

pah, pocket money

CDiablo · Jun 26, 2003

I have searched for this item on the web and found out that only a 100 or so units were produced, all of them with defects. I hear that the unit plays either very few NG games or none at all.

DanAdamKOF · Jun 26, 2003

Ugh, imagine transferring a big game to it via Parallel Port... You'd have to wait for days!

mgd2 is a nice item but not usefully for development! a mgd2 romdump is different to a "regular" dump: all data is streamed & splitted into 512kb chunks, each chunk can hold (streamed) data from different sources (px,mx,cx,vx - flipped?)... so you have to convert your programm to mdg2 before you upload. i believe there are not enough informations about this format out to do this! :/

the first (public) dumps ever made are mgd2: nrx support some of them.
