Hi Folks. I'm a complete Neo Geo newbie so please go easy on me!
I am about to purchase my 1st ever Neo Geo system. I've always wanted one since the early 1990's but have just never gotten around to getting one. (cost of AES games being too expensive, or certain AES models give a better picture than others). There was always a reason that put me off getting one.

I recently learnt about this consolized MVS (which I think looks stunning) and I think the right time has finally come for to own the Console I have wanted since childhood.
Obviously, I'm posting in this thread because I am also looking at getting one of these 161-in-1 multi-carts.
So, I'm asking for advice from people here who know so much more than I do. Am I likely to run into any problems with this particular set-up combination of a 1-slot consolized MVS with Uni-bios-3 and this multi-game cart?
Anybody have any suggestions?
I got my 161 today, and it is awesome!
I am playing it on an MV-1 and i ma having some annoying resetting problems, making some of the games unplayable (just a few)
I haven't tried all the games (obviously) but so far i can't get these to work:
Breakers
Breakers revenge
KOF 97 (the other ones seem to work fine?)
Super Dodge Ball
Overtop
I tried changing hard dips/soft dips but no luck.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Keep a small CO2 fire extinguisher nearby.
So absurd, it's sig-worthy.
I have the same problem with SDB on my MV1. Random resets. Oddly, I can play it for hours on my MVS converter with no probs at all. I will try to test out some of the other games you listed. Been meaning to check it out more with a multimeter, but the tests I have done so far have pointed to it not being a voltage problem.
Any issues with Kizuna Encounter?
You might want to check out the first two Samurai Shodown games. I find the multicart versions unacceptable for different reasons. The music is all goofy in SS2. In SS1, when playing against the computer, Kyoshiro vanishes when he does his qcb+K move. Try those and see if you notice anything.
Since I added a unibios, I at least get an error code with SDB. Been meaning to check with Raz to see if he has any insights. Don't forget that your bios is socketed, so you could just pop the old one out with a screwdriver and pop the new one in.
As for -http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?223583- I've not seen that casing on a 150 before. It comes in a banana yellow cart, what dark corner of the internets did he pull this 'killer' cart from?
Kizuna encounter seems to work fine for me. Both of the first two SS games work fine for me, although i do have the audio issues in SS2 like you said.
I also found a few more games that won't work:
KOF 99
Prehistoric Isle II
Strikers 1945 + works for about 30-45 minutes then resets
As i throughly test more games I will add them to this thread; who knows, maybe we can find a work around for a few of them.
BTW, I have noticed that even on games where the audio works 100% (Viewpoint comes to mind) the initial splash screen music is really, really quiet and washed out...not sure what is causing that.
*EDIT* In my other post, i said Overtop didn't work; i mistook that for Thrash Rally. Overtop actually does work fine.
Exactly. I would't trust a non-banana cart, especially one with a banana label. It's probably a boot of a boot, and either way, it's a total fluke. Considering all the members running these carts, fire-free, I'm guessing that whoever supplied that cart bought it from some middleman trying to cut out the original banana cart makers.
Interesting. The Strikers thing is a known issue with MVS converters, so it's interesting to hear it happened on your board. I'll have to try it in mine more extensively. I knew Overtop worked ok, but I hadn't had the urge to subject myself to Trash Rally. I thought Pre Isle worked ok. I'll check 99 also. I've also noticed some flicker in the bottom right quarter of the screen during win quotes in 94.
As for Viewpoint, I've left that running forever and never noticed any audio issue, and I love my homecart version enough to hump it, so believe me I would. If you mean the Neo Geo splash screen, then that's just Viewpoint being Viewpoint. It's Sammy's rendition of the Neo Geo jingle. Certain carts by certain 3rd party devs have different versions of the jingle (ADK comes to mind?). Start up Magical Drop 3 and listen to that.
You guys really want to run carts that were assembled by malnourished 12 year olds at some dark unsafe solder stations in a Chinese MVS mill? Help support the fight to end child slavery by steering clear of 100 in 1s.
This is no laughing matter.
not because you stop buying multi carts the kids you mention are going to get a better life there is always something else to do on another unsafe place or probably worst! this is not the way to fight that abuse!
I already said this
but you had to photoshop your argument! why not getting really involved with the proper associations instead of preaching with stolen words and fake pics so you can show the world real cases? enlighten the world with a real humanitarian act and more than one will listen! or is just a fake approach?
or worst you are the one actually making fun of it?
This is no laughing matter.
I assembled my computer from components manufactured in the US. Took 5 years, but was worth it. Patriotic posts.
i'd be willing to bet that this is not entirely true or possible.
