I looked and serched but i cant find the voltage current the memory card slots provides. Is it 5V,3V or some other value?

Maybe someone knows before i open up my AES and measure it.

Many thanks, this is what i was looking for. So voltage can be 3,3V, 5V or 12V, while the Vcc is 3,3V and 5V.
So im guessing the Neo-Geo gives out 3,3V and 5V at times on the Vcc pin 17. Thats why i have issues with the FRam chips FM28V020, they have only 3,6V max input.
Its better to use FM18W08 then.


If this is really the case, then this https://github.com/neogeodev/NeoMemCard2 is fail.

Ok thanks for confirming its 5V.
Be aware of that github link, it provides a wrong FRam component and the Neo-Geo will fry them with 5V.
