ANY SLUG CUTS?

Watching the tapes, he discovered more than 110 graphical differences (little ones and big ones) between the two formats...

Almost all high-meg games have cuts in the CD version. Other great example is Last Blade 2 with a little bit smaller characters, missing animation frames and the big one: the fire stage ISN'T WAVED <img src="graemlins/veryangry.gif" border="0" alt="[Very Angry]" />

that's weird, it must have been a loading time/playability issue because a CD can hold way more data than was ever put on any cart. <hr></blockquote>

Many of the later neo games would actually be too big to fit on a CD even with minor cuts. As for the other stuff, RAM could be a problem as well.

Not even close. Don't forget that the CD's are bytes and the "megs" on a cart are bits.

But yep, RAM would be a problem.

Gemant, this is exactly the info I was looking for.

I have plans to make a comprehensive table about this and put it online.

Take a look at <a href="http://www.neo-geo.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=001741" target="_blank">this thread</a> started by me about these issues.

Could you be more specific about the actual differences between the CD and cart versions of the games you mentioned?

Anyway, thanks for the info. So far I found it quite hard to compile all these bits of info, and I'm always happy about a helping hand!
