Hey everyone,
I have been lurking around the forums ever since I got my Neo Geo CD in 2008. I just picked up an AES this week so figured what better time than now to join. I read through the newbie faq but if anyone has any other specific advice let me know. I am looking forward to contribute to the community.

Welcome. I too was a lurker from way back, and finally bit the bullet some time ago and joined. There is a lot to be learned here. But my advice regarding the AES, is this.
1. Find that one game you MUST have.
2. Realize it's probably over $500.
3. Save up your $$ for that title
4. Use that money to buy a NeoSD.

If you have to have a shelf full of AES titles, you're in for a world of hurt.

Yeah, my plan is to buy a NeoSD Pro when it is released. In the mean time I would like to purchase the cheapest game possible so I can at least test out the system. What is the best budget game? How long after I register can I PM users in the seller forum? I would like to avoid breaking rules.

Develop a thick skin.
Be ready to dish out some sick burns.
Ye Olde Tymers here love their little circle jerks, and the main mod gets angry if anyone else eats the cracker.
If you can live with all that, welcome! Enjoy yourself!

How long after I register can I PM users in the seller forum?

This is a common question. Don't worry, I'm here to help. :) Wait about a few seconds after reading my post, and go to the top of the page. On the right hand corner there is a blue bold-faced link that says "Log Out". Click that and then wait for the page to redirect you back here. Then, even further at the top of your screen (left hand side if you're on Mac OS, right hand side if you're on Windows) there is an "X" button (or a red circle if you're using Mac OS). Click that, and confirm your decision if any further prompts occur by clicking Yes.

Before you do this, I have a personal recommendation. Go to your User CP by clicking "Settings" on the top right hand of the screen. Then, on the left panel, click "Edit Profile". The first option on the next page should say "Edit Email & Password"-- click that button. Now, open up your favorite text editing program such as Notepad. Smash your hand against the keyboard so that it produces a random series of characters. Try to get some numbers in there too if you can help it. Highlight this string of text, and Copy (Ctrl + C). Navigate back to the Neo Geo page, and enter your current password in the first field. Then, where it says "new password", paste (Ctrl + V) the copied string. Paste it again in the "Confirm New Password" field below it. Now, go back to your text editing software, and close it without saving. Make sure you do not save the document, this is important. Finally, click on "Save Changes" in the Neo Geo page. Then proceed to follow my instructions above for using the log out feature.

Love,
Sylvie

^ This post screams that you haven't been lurking here for 10 years.

It would be physically impossible to read the posts here regularly and not feel so disgusted that you couldn't avoid making an account and calling someone a cunt at least 9 1/2 years ago.

Life is too short to worry about comments posted on the internet. Most gaming forums require sifting through pages of non sense and arguments to get to the information you are looking for. My lurking here was pretty minimal until late 2017 when I was reading up on the SSDS3. I have one of the v2 boards and I am happy with it for the most part. Those threads were kind of of mess though.

I really wanted to get a JNX CMVS but I missed out on his order window last month.

Thanks for the comments welcoming me to the forums, even the negative ones. I would expect nothing less!

While you're there, without making it too obvious, try to get a sense of how strong he is and how you'd think he'd be in a fight. Asking for a friend.

You really should've joined in 2008 as there's a chance you probably wouldn't be here now.
