These parasites... I swear. These motherfuckers are the reason why the Mega Drive conversion of Real Bout Fatal Fury was canned, thanks to these sons of bitches...

I don't really see the point in playing ports nowadays, they were a necessity at the time. Now they definitely aren't.

That guy has had the same blanket for at least a decade. I wish he would stop clogging up my eBay and Yahoo Auctions searches.

I wonder if you could have this port running beside the FPGA core and be able to tell them apart. Did system 16 ever make it out of beta?

Damn, there's a few shockbox inserts I'm missing besides Golden Axe & Shinobi. Wish I had any design skills to make my own.

Thanks for the great conversion! Let's hope for an Altered Beast or Alien Storm now! :ROFLMAO:

A piece of information, who uses the sd loader with blueretro dongle and 8bitdo neo geo pads? Because if I use the 2 dongles when selecting the character the machine resets, but if I remove the 2nd dongle I can play without resetting. I have already updated the adapters.

This screams a power issue. Too much draw = reset. Knowing nothing about Neo CD, I have no fix for you, but on usual arcade equipment, I would up the output of my PSU.

I just tried the same setup and it worked flawlessly on my machine.

Yeah. They sell NGCD PSU cap kits for a reason. For now I'll just stick with whichever PSU I have that works.

I would imagine that now Golden Axe has been ported, a port of Alien Storm would be more than feasible? :unsure:

Has the system got the horsepower to do either Capcom's The Punisher or AvP justice, or even Final Fight - or is that asking too much?

I get that... but it's funny as fuck seeing Shinobi running on NGCD. Not interested in Golden Axe, good game, but I'm happy with other ways to play that one.

In some respects it's interesting to see what could have been if SNK had been more adventurous with getting partnerships for NGCD back in the day - at launch one of their stated objectives was to attract third parties to the platform.... what did we get? Visco and one Taito game. Yay.

H0ffman briefly discussed Final Fight back on page 3. One hurdle is the 384 x 224 resolution of the CP series to the Neo's 320. Personsally, I'd like to see Arcade Moonwalker ported (if possible) since the Genesis version was a letdown. Having actual MJ songs on the CD would be great.

I find that both Shinobi and Golden Axe both play better on the NeoCD than my AES. Plus, more games that aren't fighters are always welcome. Most casuals will sit and play Golden Axe in co-op but quickly lose interest with fighting games as they get their ass whooped in .0003 seconds.
