so as i posted been away for awhile, mainly just hitting up FB groups and the like.
so far I learned,
so question on what i have not seen
since i was away, i have still been flying out to japan yearly except for last year and probably this year. hit up some SNK or related booths at tgs and have friends their that occasional get me stuff (last purchase with the Mia AES shirt.) I been at EVO and other FGT's a few times when it was live, kinda been staying away from ebay and yahoo auctions although started looking again. bought all the silly neo releases (Neo mini's, Neo x's and the AES stick ) hmmmmm house is a mess think i am now considered a video game hoarder made a retro room to play all my retro consoles with crt goodness (ps2, Neo and the like). discovering a lot of mystuff has stop working (my neo cd front loader all the sudden no longer boots up.)
so far I learned,
- All my MVS boards need to be checked for a impending death due to battery leakage --> what a pain so far i gone through a few of my boards (think i have like 10 including a IM dedicated which i never used) probably need to check the neo print as well.
- I need to buy some special cases for all my pricy homecarts to prevent sun fading, to be honest i do not even know if i could spot sun fading if i wanted to
- homecart prices (as well as everything else neo) has got more stupid
- their are lots of difference in AES system board revision I need to check for current modes (I have 4 systems 1 original not working due to a poor job of me trying to add a bios, 1 original never moded and 2 3-6)
- Unibios has gone up to 4.0 and no longer being updated. (i wanted to see if i could get the NGH numbers output via the selection connection)
- home brews and re-releases are still going on (was surprised to see the visco re-releases)
- the scammers have grown in numbers (pfft people need to stop trying to cheat people)
- there are lots more different mods out there
- new SNK if over merchandising everything (was surprise to see the release of the neo geo rental sign with the sticker)
so question on what i have not seen
- Did anyone every come up with a aes to mvs conversion (for the MVS board to play aes carts) just find it easier to access my unibios boards since my Main AES only has debug and i will not be remodded it and the MVS boards have socketed bios so easy to swap)
- Did anyone every come up with a home system replacement shell? I have a few trashed home systems i wanted to replace the shell. would be cool if someone machined one with pre mod outputs. always though a aluminum shell would be cool and shinny
