MVS & AES NEOSD flash card... AES Version ANNOUNCED & AVAILABLE!!

[neosd]

Looking forward to reveive it

Our pleasure !!

We would like to anounce that we have started working on adding bootlegs/hacks support to NEOSD (right now the goal is to get all bootlegs/hacks on MAME working, others will follow once we have finished with MAME ones).
As today we already have most of MAME bootlegs/hacks working and we think all those should be supported by launch day (15h November). We will upload some videos next Saturday, to show bootlegs/hacks running.

The software we have sent into Razoola´s NEOSD, it was last week´s version, so it didnt have bootlegs/hacks supported. It just had ALL comercial games working.

Thanks !!

I just had a call from UPS, there is a chance I get the neoSD this afternoon/evening all going well.

Noice.

 

[Razoola]

Just a quick message to say now that I have received the NeoSD for review. After an hour of quick testing. So far, it is real, it does load and play original versions of games.

 

[GadgetUK]

Awesome!!! =D

 

[Fygee]

Woo hoo! Looking forward to the detailed review once you've dived deeper.

 

[greedostick]

Getting pumped!

I can't believe I missed this topic. I need to pay more attention.

I've just read through all 18 pages (slow day at work) and this sounds really exciting.

One question; As someone who never uses ROMs or MAME, how easy would this be to set up for a complete n00b? I'm interested in placing an order, but I have always played games on original hardware, and have no knowledge on loading ROMs, etc. The technical talk here just looked like gibberish to me.

I guess Raz will answer this in his review. Not too much left now, patience

I'm looking for somone with an MVS + UniBios and an original SVC or kof2003 cart to drop me a PM or pop into chat if your ok to test something for me (unibios related). Thanks in advance.

 

[Fogueman]

Please Razoola can you answer an easy question ? I think lots of us are waiting for the response

Does NeoSD work with the mvs converter Magic Key?

 

[Razoola]

I have no idea at this point.

 

[greedostick]

I have svc aes original, and unibios. If that will help i can test after work late tonight.

 

[Razoola]

Im not sure that will because that version of the game is not dumped yet and it may be different.

 

[Razoola]

For those that asked, Crossed Swords 2 and Dragons heaven/Dark Seed work.

Hopefully Raz's review goes good, cause I already ordered.

Im feeling pretty positive as well. The universe is finally aligning for the Neo Geo fans.

Here is a list of a few of the protected games I have tested so far. Metal Slug X is the only game failing the crc32 check so far due to patching into the P ROM. NeoSD did mention about this in the thread pages back and he plans for this to be fixed as soon as the protection mechanics of the game are understood.

I don't have the fasted SD card on the market so some of these times can be improoved apon with a better card. It's worth keeping in mind these are the biggest NeoGeo games though. I have not yet fully checked sound but so far it feels spot on.
