I had nothing better to do, so here is a complete list of all "things you never knew about the neo", so people don't have to read the whole thread. "Facts" that are really just information about contemporary arcades in backwater communities have been omitted. Maybe this could be put into the first post?

Also I'm gonna make a Wiki page for this... Along with a link to this thread for citation.

NOTE: The following list is in chronological order, each fact appears in the same order it does in this thread.

01) You used to be able to purchase new Neo Geo carts at Babbages aka Gamestop, Comp USA, Macy's, The Wiz, Lionel Kiddie City, Toys R Us and Electronics Boutique.
02) there's a little orange pot near the Sony CXA1145 video encoder chip that will allow you to fiddle with the bleed.
03) Any JEDIA 68 pin PCMCIA (ver 3+) flash memory card will work on the Neo. Even the 512MB ones.
04) in the back of the manual for some dog tag carts, it says, "This product can only be used on the NEO GEO Rental System."
05) the Neo CD originally was meant as a CD-add on for the homecart system
06) if you set all dip switches on on the MVS you get "work ram test", and all backup ram data is erased

15) Samurai Shodown 3 title appears as Fighters Swords (or similar) on Korean language setting. Graphic looks completely different.
16) Viewpoint can be played with 2 simultaneous players with the help of Debug/Universe BIOS, or a soft dip setting in MVS mode.
17) In Breakers Revenge, at the character select screen, move both 1P and 2P joystick (for 1P it's anticlockwise, 2P it's clockwise) to unlock Bai-Hu.
18) The apostrophe in Ninja Master's refers to the kanji in the title which (roughly) translates translates to: "The Book of Ninja Skills Belonging to the Emperor"
19) In Blazing Star, you get different amounts of points for killing certain chains of enemies with different ships and their break shots.
20) Neo Geo is the only cart-based system that doesn't crash with glitchy/dirty games if the cartridge is moved. (verified? subjective?)

And here's some things that couldn't easily be condensed into the list, or were too lacking in complete information:

• In the NeoGeoCD version of SamShoII you can play as Kuroko (the referee-guy) by standing on some character, pressing up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right, blablabla or something. His weapon are the flags he always uses and he has a big fireball as in Art of Fighting style.

• AOF 3 (i believe) has time release secrets/events. Something happens, I believe on Ryo's, Roberts, etc. birthdays. I'd find the thread, but the search is broken right now.

• The only reason I was able to beat Sengoku 1 on AES was because of a ridiculous exploit trick I accidentally found: jumping constantly. If you get a up a power up ball, the new sword won't form in your hands till you stop jumping! So you get the most time out of every power up in the game because you chose when to activate the next one.

• A BackGround Charecter in Metal Slug III is based on Ben Herman.

• In Metal Slug X, if you use a debug BIOS, you can access "secret" incomplete-looking levels that appear to be level areas used in Metal Slug 3! You can wander around these levels and use vehicles such as a submarine and gyrocopter just like in MS3. If you were wondering why the meg count increased by over 100 between Metal Slug 2 and X, then this is your answer. There are also other debugging features that you can toggle on and off while exploring the areas.

• in the King Of Fighters for the US Neo-Geo CD/home cart, Mai's boobies do not bouncy-bouncy. However, this "feature" was accessible with a code which was at the high score screen, press A and D on controller 1 simultaneously as you press B and C on controller 2, this code also made the blood appear.

• In Neo Turf Masters, if you select the long hitter Mandel, there are several short cuts to albatrosses and even hole in ones. One such adventure is the Island shot on the Austrailian course. By hitting a full hard shot at the (lowest point) highest trajectory, the ball will bounce off the island and roll across the green nearest the pin. Your next shot will be for Albatross.. Oh yeah, practice makes perfect. If done just right the graphics get really strange. This is kinda like an Easter Egg Neo style.

• In Pulstar, anyone ever notice how the default high scores are the chassis codes of Japanese cars?
-R32 (Nissan Skyline R32)
-Z32 (Nissan 300ZX Z32)
-FD3 (Mazda RX7 FD3S)
-JZA (Supra MkIII/IV JZA70/JZA80)
-NSX (Honda/Acura NSX)


• Did you know in Magical Drop 3 there are 6 secret characters that can be selected if you know the tarot card number of any of the characters? Just hit "C" 3 times while over the character whose number you know, when the timer reaches their number.

20 - Judgment
19 - Sun
17 - Star
15 - Devil
13 - Death
11 - Justice
8 - Strength
7 - Chariot
6 - Lovers
5 - Hierophant
4 - Emperor
3 - Empress
2 - High Priestess
1 - Magician
0 - Fool

Also Father Strength can be selected by selecting Strength by holding "C" and pressing "A & B" at the same time.


• older NGH units have wrong values for the video circuitry in disregard of the values recommended by sony at the video encoder datasheet, this results in a darker picture, snk fixed the mistake at the later units and so they have a much brighter picture.

The myth that the earlier units have better picture was caused by the latest and more common NGH revision the 3-6 which consists of half of the NGH systems ever made, it has a design problem at the video circuit that causes vertical lines when displaying RGB. It's easily fixed making it perform on par with board revision 3-5 which is the best stock unit as for RGB quality.

The original and inconclusive research done by nfg, he had no access to most of the systems revisions, made wrong assumptions and didn't knew how to fix the RGB video problem at the 3-6 unit which caused striping.
http://nfggames.com/games/neorgb2/

MKL research on the matter, with access to all board revisions a conclusive explanation is offered, since the picture links are broken I'll post another link to the fix below.
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2401734&postcount=27

The 3-6 RGB fix link, half of the NGH owners have this board revision:

Bits on Pre-Neo Geo

The Alpha68k (name from MAME) is more than likely an early version of the Neo Geo hardware. This can be verified by looking at the games in MAME. Alpha68k games are 256x224 using 2048 colors. The Neo Geo is 320x224 using 4096 colors.

The flip bit for the sprites is bit 0 and 1 for Neo Geo, and bits 15 and 16 for the Alpha68k system. (Taken right from the MAME source).

I've always wondered why they didn't have a tilemap like 99.99% of the other hardware of the time.
I'm not sure about making programming easier (more flexible maybe), but the circuit design make sense.

the Alpha68k, was used by Alpha Denshi as early at 1987, and SNK in 1988. SNK also started using the SNK68k system is 1988. The systems components and memory map are very close in design. Then there's the Beast Busters hardware, which isn't close to either, but does have the scaled sprites. Interesting is that the hardware components of the Neo Geo (12 Mhz 68000 4 Mhz Z80 YM2610 sound chip) more closely match the Beast Busters hardware than any other. There is almost no connection between this board and any of the others, though.

SNK never designed the Neo Geo hardware system. Eiji Fukatsu himself designed it as an improved version of his 68K system. It features the essential sprite tiling system compressed into 3 chips, a scalar table in ROM function and a redone sound system as well as cartridge interface.

Bits on the corporate Neo

By Nightmare Tony:

Kernow, Forever did remmeber right. If you have a schematic to any Neo geo system, it will have Alpha Denshi on it, along with their head wildman, Eiji Fukatsu. The system he actually did as a full board previously, first starting with a game called Battlefield (renamed to Time Soldiers). Romstar had the board redone also as Sky Soldiers and Gold Medalist. Sky Adventure also used the same system.

As a general rule, graphic systems of the time used a background graphics, text and sprite graphics. Eiji instead used the sprites as tiles for the background, making programming and circuit design a tad simpler.

The US president Marty was also an accomplished musician, magician and movie actor. Kept that to himself, though. Amazing talents.

John Barone ended up marrying Susan Jarocki, who's dad Stan Jarocki ran this company called Bally-Midway. Games ran in that family, I guess.

The tech department was an absolute blast. Between big band music, Rush Limbaugh, death metal and some absolutely wierd music, it was noisy and fun. For the entire US branch, though as Chad mentions, us being a broken arm, we did the best we could and had a lot of fun doing it.

One competition which was a full tradition was a daily tech depamrtment competition of Thrash rally set up in 4 cabinets. I had my own cabinet modified with a steering wheel (showed at a trade show but no interest) which helped out immensely. The competition was quite insane and we all had a real good time.

Romstar had been tied in with SNK back and forth, from being originally SNK USA to employees trading back and forth. At least 5 employees of Romstar (including yours truly) ended up at SNK at various times.

Late night shipping runs included major pizza party action. We all worked like bulldogs and got the product out the door. When shipping time came round, RUSH was the order of the day.

The Samurai Shodown trade advertisement with several people worshipping a cabinet with the "we're not worthy" included Game Lord, his sidekick George, some of the warehouse crew and the two sons of our graphics artist.

The funniest program bomb I ever ran across personally was from a curious invention I was doing, to make a Neo Geo into a redemption game, giving out tickets. It had some good interest at the show and it earned like mad at the local test arcade. Then one morning, a bit of forgotten programming showed itself when the ticket photocell got dirty and gave out over 7,000 tickets. Whoops! (the program rewrite didnt finish as that is when the closure announcement came in).

I had worked at Romstar previously, we had connectes with SNK. Back when the SNK home division was first started, Mr. Yasuki had sent me over to help solve some video output issues with the TV interface which was causing FCC failure problems. The solve was slightly detuning the crystal and the extra grounding wires to the crystal and area.

Romstar had moved up North as Capcom was part owner and had it decided, and it was so. I was born and grew up in the LA area and did not want to move. It was a sad time, there were many tears. I wrote a sad poem about it all in rememberance. I will post it.

Mr. Yasuki pulled strings and got me into SNK which was in a bigger building doing arcade. At Romstar, we had licensed the 1 slot system for sale as a conversion kit. I still remember the first 10,000 boards came in, a HUGE stack of boxes, maybe 40 feet deep, 10 feet tall, 10-20 feet wide. Took up a LOT of the warehouse.

Romstar was quite mellow and an adventure. Had it stayed, I would have had my first inhouse 100% programmed game within a year, I was helping develop the Terra 2 arcade system there. It was 286 based with CPLD graphic chip systems to allow the graphicvs path to be revised. I do have the board layout somewhere, I will have to post it someday. The main board was designed by Doug Hughes, who designed the hardware system used by Taito for the game Qix (an entirely American game with no Japanes programming or design whatsoever).

SNK seemed tougher at first but I got the rhythmn. We all had a lot of fun and creativity ran well. For breaks, we all competed in darts and Thrash Rally 2 times a day. I had designed a steering wheel control panel and pedal and it kept me int he race since I usually suck at games, and I Was able to keep up. The Thrash contests were on 4 cabinets, and we were SAVAGE players. Plenty of smack talk aqnd competition.

I did the arcade repairs, answered phones and tech department things. I also did design work and odd things.

SNK went up north due to the Neo Print, I got a job as a distributor. Ended up hating that job since it became a Dilbert cartoon come to life. Ironically, the home division guy at SNK is working there at that same distributor right now.

My present job is engineering, doing circuit board design of phone and security system entry ways. VERY fun job.

Anyhoo, that is why I still remember my neo tech stuph. But yup, it was a job that stood out. Lots of fun. The only reason I give it a 2-3% less than Romstar and present job, it seemed a tiny bit stiff at first, but once I got the hang and rhythmn, it all worked out. Personal wise, we were great, did Christmas walks together, partied together. Was very much a family.

I think someone needs to find a new hobby. :lolz:

Thanks a lot for the consolidation, dude. I've only skimmed through the thread a few times, and your work made it much easier to enlighten myself.

Hi, thanks for your work, it is indeed very cool!

Just a thing that I found inconsistent with my informations:

• 89) The Neo Geo Rental System was available in Japan during 1989. The system made it's retail debut in 1990.

Following SNK's printed material (NeoGeo Club magazines, Gamest and other stuff of the time) it should be like:

The Neo Geo Rental System was available in Japan during 1990 (26 April, same date of the MVS release). The system made it's retail debut in 1st July 1991.

Thanks for the feedback Joneo and Massimilliano, I'll add that manual thing as 91 and fix #89, both with my post here and the Wiki page.

EDIT: On second thought Joneo, I don't think there's enough solid evidence to add your packaging error to the list just yet.

Thanks for summarizing. I always thought the reference to 90's japanese supercars in Pulstar was the coolest thing.

Not sure I'd ever try #37 from the list...

Yeah neither would I.

I added one more fun fact to the list (#91) that I managed to remember, it is definitely not in the list anywhere.

Another possible thing to add: The arabic sign in Metal Slug 2 says "explosive diarrea". There is a thread here on the forums about it (came up about a month or two ago)

Oh yeah I completely forgot that one! I'll add it to the thread (fits right in actually, there's a similar bit of trivia in Last Resort). Thanks for the reminder! :D

I work at a CompUSA, and those games are still in our system (despite the particular location I work at having only existed since 1998) having been long long dropped from the active product list. Super Baseball 2020, Alpha Mission 2, and Magician Lord are all currently priced at $139.88 with a cost of $117.xx. There are other Neo games, but I only remember those three specific titles.

There was a period of time in the mid 90's where my local CompUSA had a discount bin full of AES titles. Too bad they were all Top Players and Riding Hero...

Something weird I noticed tonight playing BBS2:

The portrait of whatever player is in the pitcher spot will be displayed between innings, regardless of whether he is actually a pitcher.

What does this mean? If you pinch hit for your pitcher, when the inning ends, your pinch hitter's face will show as the pitcher, then you will be prompted to switch out your bullpen.


Weird thing, but interesting. Playing this game FOREVER and just noticed.

I always wanted to know where the words "neo" and "geo" come from... Do they mean "new" "generation" ?

Sorry if its already been repeated before

Well, I'm officially drunk. Didn't read it properly and went to try it on my NGX *facepalm* I will defend my reasoning for this stupidity because I had done it on my CD version years ago.

The Neo Geo was prominently used in UK 90s TV show "Games Master". They regularly featured challenges with celebrities including Utah Saints and Gabrielle playing games like "King Of The Monsters". This was how many UK gamers were introduced to the Neo Geo as the console had never been offcially released over here!
