While this is true, you should note that you must press the black button on the MVS magic key while turning on the AES. Also, if you use it with a 161-in-1 MVS cartridge, you must press the button while turrning on the AES (untile the 161-in-1 menu appears) AND also before selecting the game you wanna play. Otherwise, the game will almost for sure fail to boot.The unibios part in the magickey disables itself if the system has a unibios in it.
Now i am waiting for my Omega that i ordered because you know ... Fuck that converter...
Now, I like having a converter as a backup for when I'm too lazy to dig out the CMVS but have the home cart system hooked up, but it's a poor substitute for a real MVS system.

It was an expensive learning curve lol
If you are curious on how this POS is built or can see why the audio would not work properly on it . Here are the pic of the boards.
<see previous post for photos>
I don't see any level shifting circuitry or even current limiting resistors on these boards. As the devices on these are 3.3V devices they are either being over-volted with a 5V supply, or are forcing the Neo to interface with a 3.3V device. On paper that's okay as far as logic levels go, but without some resistors much current will be drawn from the Neo-Geo ICs, possibly damaging them over time. Just another reason to just use MVS hardware (this same problem exists with the 161-in-1 boards which hunger for power).
Is there any way to just add the needed resistors to this thing to make it work? I saw in another forum that some famicom chinese multicarts have this same issue and somebody put a diode (IIRC) on it and it fixed it. I know this converter is much more complex than a famicom cart, but maybe the principle is the same?
Thanks!!
You could take every line that isn't power or ground and throw in a 100 or so ohm resistor, but that's a lot of resistors! It's not just to the power supply to the chip, but rather to the lines used for the system to communicate with them.
I own a daedalus so your post makes me feel a bit better about the money I spent.
