PC + usb controller ($40) + romz (free no charge) = $40
Fuck AES & MVS
You have $960 left in your pocket
S-Video, and Component out w/ stereo sound
- Unibios 3.0
I guess the aes might have those?
I guess component doesn't matter much to scart folk. unibios is fun though
Assume that if you don't personally know the seller and his rep, your more than likely to take a bath and get screwed.
I haven't bought anything AES of high value in the last few years unless I knew who I was buying from. I love AES, and still collect for it, but you have to get used to the idea of having to wait forever for everything to align and for something you want to be for sale by someone you know and trust.
I've been collecting for Neo for almost a decade. You missed the good years where prices were semi reasonable and people weren't out to turn a dishonest buck by screwing other people over
Collecting for AES makes no sense. Yes I do it...but it still doesn't make sense. Too damn risk
Like everybody wrote already...
stick to MVS since you'll most likely want to play the games and not just collect them.
Collecting for AES is probably similar to looking for legit vagina in the Philippines.
It looks legit on the outside but if you go in, you're gonna get dicked either by the price or the boot, and then you will just keep that dirty secret to yourself all the way to the grave.
Spoiler:You're taking a riskSpoiler:
Okay, you've all convinced me. I will go MVS. After all, I don't want to wake up with a surprise Philippine-Boot-Vagina-Dick stuck in me each morning.
You have definitely convinced me though. I will go the MVS route. I can see the sense in it.
Then again, those shiny AES boxes and the AES console I dreamt about my entire childhood...
No, no, MVS.
I think.
Probably.
Just out of interest, why doesn't Metal Slug X work with a Magic key converter?
You won't be playing Metal Slug X MVS on an AES with a Magic Key converter either. Game won't boot.
Just out of interest, why doesn't Metal Slug X work with a Magic key converter?
Yeah, I know you guys are right.
If it just wasn't for how seductive and shiny they are, the art on the boxes, the way they have aged... The pictures of them, they are Palpatine calling "you want this, don't you..."
Still, without any doubt you have all steered me away from pure AES. There is now no chance I will ever do it. I will either go MVS or MVS + some AES.
Whichever of these two paths I take, however, I'm going to do it slowly and patiently.
you don't need to do all of that. http://www.mvs-scans.com/index.php/Main_Page has the board scans. you don't need to verify before buying, if they say original and thats not what you get you're covered with paypal? just be careful not to crease the labels.
if you at least consider it you won't trash anything, probably.
