Does anyone know if an accelerator chip was used to fix the slowdown in X? Or was this just done through programming tricks?

There are threads somewhere on here about it, but it was reprogrammed.

No accelerator chips at all, neo geo carts only contain rom chips (and an altera, used for encryption), no coprocessors like the SNES.
Regards.

Not true that they only contain ROM chips and an Altera. Also the Altera does more than just the copy protection.

Care to elaborate a bit on this?

Actually on my MVS cabinet that's how I play (1 credit). However on an online game I prefer an AES setup (4 credits) simply because it's a major pain to get games going in the 1st place online. Without the limit it's boring to play I agree.

There are other chips from off the shelf 7400 series logic ICs on the earlier carts to later carts with custom chips which are described here: https://wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php?title=Category:Chips

Yeah, that makes sense. That's how I play MS1 and MS2 on CD, just use the built in credit system. I just meant that credit feeding on MVS is a poor way to improve skills. Fun when you have casual gamer friends over and just want to blow shit up, though.

Played quite a few rounds of Magical Drop 2 & 3 versus a friend yesterday. Not sure which I prefer, 3 has that extra button to add lines, but 2 has that great sound when you make an input error lol. Regardless, they are the most fun versus puzzle games I’ve ever played.
Also played many matches of KoF98, I’d say it was pretty even. My opponent used Athena, Lucky, Brian, Chizuru, Iori, and Goro. I stuck with my Mature, Kenzou, and Yuri team. I think I’ll try to learn Chris, Yamazaki, and another character soon.

Thanks, it looks like there's quite a few that were used.

Last blade 2. The levels are gorgeous, the fire level is a blast on a 29 inch screen with stereo sound. Love the new characters so far. Hibiki and Setsuna are powerfull and easy characters to play with. I wish i could say the same about Kagami (final boss in the first game) but i'm not as good with him. The game also has the best intro i have seen in any game as well.

Been playing Blue's Journey. I've heard some people hate on this game but I've always thought it was a cool and likeable platformer. The graphics may be simple by Neo standards but I've always liked them. Very colorful and similar to Ristar on the Genesis/megadrive. Finally playing it on the Aes instead of emulation.

Blue's Journey definitely has its own quirky charm. Probably be my next AES purchase since its unique and relatively cheap. Also i believe its slightly cheaper on AES. I wish the neo geo had more platformers.

After reading through someone else's post I took Fatal Fury Special off the shelf and have been playing that a bit over the past couple days.

I haven't played Blue's Journey yet (have it on Neo CD), but I think Spin Master is probably the best platformer style game on the Neo. Top Hunter is OK.

Blue's Journey is great, especially with two players.
