Hello! I just recently bought a Phantom 1 and Im noticing very minor glitches when I play certain MVS carts. It seems to be the worst with the Last Blade games. Anyone else have this problem? I know that my carts arent boots because I got most of them at the Neo store

What board revision do you have?


Anyway, it seems like 50% of the users have problems, and 50% don't.

You have to open up your Neo Geo and check out what board revision you have. I think its 3-6 that is the problem child of the bunch.

I refuse to buy the Phantom until they make another version.

I have the blue Phantom-1, and I've noticed some *very* minor graphics glitches with Metal Slug X (i.e., a few small random miscolored pixels). I don't recall having any other problems in the slightest, including with Last Blade 2.

No glitches here as I havent came across any MVS games with that sort of problem. My Phantom-1 works perfect with the Last Blade 2 game. Didnt notice anything...unless you accidnetly yanked your Neo joystick then you may notice some miscolored pixels from the Phantom-1 being moved in the slot.

I used to have the newest P-1. Never had a problem with it on games like MSX or any other. I never tried it with any games that zoom in like the Samurai's, but I've heard that many times there are graphical glitches like pixelation when the game zooms.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a newer revision antime soon either. Last I heard !Arcade! won't be making any more.:(

My Phantom1 works perfectly with all my games... I only have 5, here they are:
RB2, SS4, Windjammers, Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, Breakers Revenge.
No graphical glitch at all here.

PS: To make a "custom shell" for a Phantom1, you HAVE TO sacrifice an AES game ? :spock:
