Hello,
I'm in my 30s now and craved a Neo Geo of some kind for about 10-15 years. I looked for MVS/AES systems every now and then and now finally pulled the trigger after emulation no longer satisfies. I ordered one of them cheap CMVS from China. It remains to be seen if this is the answer to my urges or just a gateway drug to something else
Going by the forum title, it appears that this is the right place for some n00b questions:
1. I'll get a CMVS with both component and RGB out. Which is preferable, and should I look for a certain cable? I searched the forum but most video quality releated topics I found were discussing S-Video, which isn't an option. I wont be using OSSC or Framemeister.
2. My dream setup has always been a mint AES with UniBIOS and some decent video out. So far my search for consoles, accessories and games was limited to ebay, local dealers, and retro gaming stores/resellers. Are there any recommendations as to where I should look to find a proper AES for a fair price?
Here are some of my findings:
Modded AES from local dealer on ebay.de - Looks a bit pricey to me
AES from a private seller on ebay + 4 common games - could be great, could be bad. Flip a coin, I guess?
Japanese AES CIB from a German retro reseller - CIB is great, but the system is unmodded and I can't mod myself
Thanks!
