The most recent revision of the NeoSD Pro AES is currently riddled with problems, which can hopefully be resolved via firmware updates. Aside from a couple of Neo-Geo CD issues, I never had any problems with the old NeoSD Pro MVS.

There are certain Aes consoles that do not play nice with AES pro. There is a specific firmware update that fixes it. It's been a long time and I sold my pro awhile back. I did not have the same issues with the regular NeoSd. Good luck contacting customer support to get this issue fixed.

Did you try removing the pcbs from the cart and plugging them in directly to the console?

Essentially, yes. I have found the NeoSD is very sensitive to how it's plugged in. I run it this way so I never have to remove it after it's been inserted just right.

I mentioned before how the sometimes you need to shave the slots on the spacer (Case) and widen them a little so the pcb contacts make good contact. You would think that after all these years they would've fixed this issue but knowing TO's reputation I doubt it.

Yeah, I know the jack is there, I own the MVS and AES one. But let me know if plugging a cable in there works. I never tried it because I remember reading that it's not implemented.

Yeah, I guess I can try it, unless anyone else can jump in here with more info.

This is not good. For my earlier batch AES Pro, I had to request a 3D printed replacement plastic spacer from Yodd. I got it and it works.

The QC issues definitely seem to be a recurring theme with TO. I had been hoping they put this behind them and gotten the cart slot issues figured out.

Looks like they will be doing a final run on the darksoft mvs cart.

I ended up getting a NeoSD Pro for my CMVS and am getting pretty persistent graphical glitches throughout games. They are not major but they are irritating. Sound is good and everything works well otherwise.

I think it may have something to do with the power supply I got with this Time Harvest CMVS; a 12v 6a one. Has anyone else experienced this with a CMVS and their NeoSD?

If it's one of the newest batches of Neo SD Pro, they're having glitching graphics due to SD card incompatibilities. Try another SD card - sounds like Kingston brand works best with them. You may also want to join their Discord and hit Alex up for a beta testing firmware.

Cool, thanks! Will do; fingers crossed.
