With everyone saying how cool the stick feels but not so good the quality on the TV, its ashame you cant plug the stick into a port so could put it on a table and play,
I doubt it's soldered to the board. Systems like this usually use a double sided tape to stick it to the board.Long time lurker, first time poster here. I took one for the team. For now I'm not digging any deeper than this, but the battery is soldered directly to the board.

I meant the leads, not the battery itself.

hmm, is your XP box on FAT32 or NTFS?
I don't understand why people still goto gamestop. The customer service sucks. The employees suck. The games are more expensive. They are a collectors worst nightmare, they put price stickers on manuals and inserts. They sell used games as new and claim that it's just a open boxed game that was never played. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from these douchebags.
It's too bad Tommo didn't put as much love into the video output as they did the packaging (on the system, not the game card). They really could have made this an all in one, lower cost solution for players wanting to play Neo-Geo on their HD displays.
I predicted this back when 480p was announced. We all know how SD content looks on HD, and it seems they also introduce other visual artifacts as well.
That being said I'm still keeping my system. It's a nice throwback to the good old days for me and the style and packaging are nearly worth it alone.
And again, if you want quality Neo-Geo emulation in 1080 HD (with scanlines, instruction manual, online co-op, save states, JPN/ENG switching, Jukebox music playing) look no further than Neo-Geo Station on the PS3.
They were selling them all for $5 a game and the 1080' 1:1 video scanline output on my 55" HDTV is, in a word, beautiful.
Here's some samples. The blurring is from my camera phone, not NGS.
I'm wondering if Playmore/SNK signed an agreement with Tommo not to release more NG Station games until a certain time. Sadly, It's been a very long time since they've released a new one.
I canceled my order with Gamestop long ago and re-ordered with Amazon, which I received, but the box is damaged and badly scuffed up.
It looks like Amazon slid mine across the warehouse floor.
to those that are not neo geo purists , is hdmi to tv really that bad?
Also, Ninja Masters is actually a pretty cool title....had no idea.
That's what I was thinking too.
Actually, some of the games I never played are amazing, and I never even knew.
This is the amazing part.Agreed. I had picked it up for MVS awhile back simply because it was a decent deal. Plugged it in and wow, such atmosphere and good controls. Sleeper hit for sure.
I love the system. It's such an odd ball, ridiculous thing for a company to do, and I love it.
This is the amazing part.
The Neo has been around for 20+ years. Even though it is easy to get all TEH ROMZ, I still haven't and buy carts instead. Shit, if I had known NM's, League Bowling and Alpha Mission 2 were so damn good, I would have been seeking the MVS carts YEARS ago!
Makes me wonder what else I've missed out on.
To NGX owners who have logged serious hours on an original old style stick, how does the NGX version stack up?
BTW, hell of a way to introduce yourself to the forums
Thanks a bunch for the pics!
Thanks for all the info guys. Has any one tried to use a 3rd third party stick like a madcatz te or hori?
Not sure, it's my work laptop, and TBH, I've never checked. When I get back into my office I'll check.
NTFS. I just pulled a copy off the unit just in case I need a backup...
