Just FYI. I'd like to share with all of you my results testing the NeoSD MVS with other .neo files different from those 'officially' recognized by NeoBuilder UI v1.02, 'handmade' converted from their original .zip romsets using NeoBuilder v1.05 command-line. Find below game lists showing the format
actual game name -> .zip/.neo romset filename = working status.
Setting:
- Consolized Neo-Geo MVS MV-1F, RGB video output
- UniBIOS 3.2 Free
- NeoSD-MVS firmware version: 1.05 R02

It seems that maybe a great number of homebrew could have been developed considering emulators instead of the real system, hence the flaws most of them present on it when played via NeoSD.
Please, feel free to share your impressions, suggestions or results with your own .neo extra/homebrew collection! Thanks!
