Weird MVS error on an AES game

[Punisher5.0]

So I fear the worse and someone on this site might have sold me a MVS conversion as an authentic game. Check out this video I got for it. It just happened today. The game started up with no sound and came up with this message:

What do you guys think?

Have you cleaned the contacts on the cart? I know contact issues can cause that error.

I think that was it. I just cleaned it really good and the error didn't come back. I wasn't too worried about it because it wasn't a very expensive game but it was still really weird to see a MVS error on an AES. Thanks for your help.

What was the error? I'm curious since the video is private.

An MVS conversion wouldn't cause an AES to have MVS-style errors. That's preposterous. The ROM chips are the same in every Neo Geo game, regardless of cart format or region. As said previously, your AES or game is just dirty. Keep your stuff clean and you won't have any problems.

For the record, my own AES systems sometimes display a "MVS POST" set of screens when the connection is bad. It is amusing to see since AES usually hides the screen garbage, but it doesn't really mean anything more than dirty contacts.
