My AES is HERE!

[Ip Man]

All cheapies, but goodies

Samurai Spirits 1&2
Art Of Fighting 2
Fatal Fury Special

you're good to go mate. these games should keep you busy for a while.

 

[MattBlah]

Always a great feeling. I remember my first AES arriving, I'd wanted one for a long time and finally spent the money and got one. Anyway, I'm sure you won't regret it, the Neo Geo is such a fun system and most of the games have high replay-ability.

An MVS convertor is great, but it's also fun to build an AES collection. As long as you're not the completionist type. Just buy the games that interest you, and don't value a game just on the money it's worth, a lot of the cheap games are excellent.

Would get a AES but for some reason I'm happy with my Dreamcast and Saturn ports, plus I'm interested in getting a PC engine duo r.

Having an AES console and games is awesome.

I am not sure why so many fellow Neo Geo fans criticize AES collectors. AES and MVS are both awesome!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the AES club!

I don't need every single game made for any system, but I will pick up the ones that I like or have a certain meaning.

I don't finish anything, so even if I wanted to get all of them I'd find something else to collect before it was all said and done.

 

[GohanX]

Congrats on the system, those are some good feels.

Welcome to neogeo world

Be enjoy to play AES but one important if you can find friend to play together, that's great. My daughter always play Metal Slug with me but she doesn't like to play fighting game so I play alone in fighing game

Enjoy

 

[StevenK]

Congrats dude! A cold, hard truth, you have to play metal slug, so unless you want to stick with slug 4 which is still just about affordable, you need to get that converter and multi cart asap.

 

[Yamazaki]

even MS4 turned into a money-throwing-competiton nowadays.


I remember when people would deliberately say "no" when offered MS4..

Congrats on the purchase!

Having the system loaded up on your gaming setup is an awesome feeling.

However, as others have said, be prepared to shell out quite a bit if you want some of the later titles.

Yup, saw a no reserve auction last weekend for MS4 Jpn go for about $500.

It's here! Plugged in, and working!

First impressions...
I forgot how damn fussy cartridges were! AOF2 was making a horrible noise, little wiggle and back in business!

The CD controller came with it. Nice and responsive as it should be. Reminds me of a SNES controller, but with a better layout for fighting games. I like it! I was able to pick a boxed arcade style controller for the system, should be here on Tuesday. I am looking forward to the full effect!

For some reason my TV will not accept the input as it should. I have to go through an HDMI "upscaler", really just an adapter as I don't believe it does much in the way of improvement. The arm of Hanzo has a rainbow effect as a result of the converter, which is annoying. I'll be picking up a CRT soon to use S-video...

Damn AOF2 is tough...

FFS is a lot of fun, but SS2 is my favorite out of the games I currently have. SS1 is on the way
Overall, I am very happy with the purchase(s).

Enough typing, back to SS2

I haven't even thought about it since forever(2slotcmvs looks good component like on pvm) but I think that might not even be a solution?
I mean I think I saw a comparison shot or something?

help this fellow out.

That's an artifact of what's sounds like.upscaling composite to HDMI. It's gonna look like shit no matter how much you smear it. For a passable image you can get a scart cable and a scart to HDMI converter. If you want the picture to look good either buy a CRT that supports component and buy a scart to component box or spend bank on an xrgb mini.

Exactly... My tv does good component, but can't do straight video (yellow). Not sure if I'm missing some setting or something. I'll post a pic of the rainbow effect.

 

[Newsdee]

I have an AES with an X-RGB Mini, and while the image crispness and colors are fantastic it's unfortunately subject to sync problems. Haven't yet found the magic formula to make it fully stable, but without room for a CRT thats the best I'm going to get.

Your scart cable needs to be wired to trigger rgb for the scart to hdmi converter. If it isn't, it will upscale composite instead of rgb.

Thank you for the input. I am currently using a composite connection. This one.

Into a cheap upscaler. This worked better on my Saturn. I mainly bought it as an adapter, not for the upscaling properties of the box.

I really need to up my quality game!

 

[Xian Xi]

The rainbow effect is from the composite not the upscaler. Either mod the AES or get a scart cable.

My daughter played MS4 first time and she was very happy and fun but after that when she played MS1,3,2,X,5 then she had never played 4 again ... Look like she throw 4 to the garbage

 

[vinnieboy1]

Nice pick up, next get a euro scart and xrgb mini. You'll be set. Also the mini does add some lag

 

[klee123]

Yeah composite connected to a good upscaler like XRGB is a step up from direct composite, but it still looks bad due to composite being shitty in the first place.

RGB SCART to XRGB is the best way to go for LCD TV owners.

 

[Newsdee]

I was a bit shocked at how much better composite was in the XRGB versus a direct connection to the TV (for a SNES). I guess they were going cheap on composite to HDTV internal upscalers, and I noticed some latest models seem to be HDMI only now.

 

[BanishingFlatsAC]

Why would you upscale composite when a scart cable is like $15. LOL

 

[xsq]

looking good.
