Hi - having a Neo Geo SD problem - system won't boot with the Neo SD...I had a power outage during an 'erase flash' / 'load rom' process I believe. My system works ok with a a regular cartridge...so I think the problem is with Neo SD. Any suggested steps to recover appreciated. Thank you!

Put the sd on your PC and check if there is a file named lastgame.cfg if so, delete it. If it doesnt work, create a file named reset.cfg with any content, and putnthe sd back on your neosd

That worked!! there was no 'lastgame.cfg' file...so the reset.cfg did the trick...now that it works, I'm deleting the reset.cfg from the SD card now.

Thanks guys, excellent product, excellent support!!

I seem to have a slight trouble with the FIX layer, some pixels flicker at times. It persists after reseating the cartridge but I don't have any other carts right now to rule out the AES itself.

Hello

Can you tell me your firmware version? if you are on 1.06 and still happening, let me know, as all those issues seemed fixed in latest firmware.

I found setting the menu to boot straight to game on power up and then power-cycling the Neo Geo gets rid of the flickering. A friend of mine tells me that this is more the fault of the console and not the NeoSD (provided you are on the latest firmware of course).

Hello I am new to the collecting scene and had a couple questions if you the interenet people could please help me on this.

1. Should I go for a mvs or aes neosd flash cart? I have an japanese aes home console unibios installed with magic key converter.

2. I would like to choose the one that has more games which I think mvs does but if I can play the unreleased mvs carts on the aes flash drive then I think it dosent matter then I guess.

3. Anyone have any experience using the mvs neosd on a aes with the magic key converter? I have the green one that says for 120P Arcade MVS Cartridge.
Thank you reddit in advance you are awesome people.

OK... here goes...

1. Should I go for a mvs or aes neosd flash cart? I have an japanese aes home console unibios installed with magic key converter.

Get the AES version of the Neosd... the only difference is insignicant... something to do with Dip settings not allowed on the AES version i think...

2. I would like to choose the one that has more games which I think mvs does but if I can play the unreleased mvs carts on the aes flash drive then I think it dosent matter then I guess.

The game list... aka "SET of STUFFS'... found somewhere hidden on this site will allow you to play the FULL library on the AES version... the "Set" is compatible with the AES version and MVS version of the Neosd...

3. Anyone have any experience using the mvs neosd on a aes with the magic key converter? I have the green one that says for 120P Arcade MVS Cartridge.

You will need to read the ENTIRE neosd thread http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showt...lash-card-AES-Version-ANNOUNCED-amp-AVAILABLE!! ...for the relevant info...

I would advise you to read it... It is LONG but will show you how this forum works and mainly who is who...

Thank you reddit in advance you are awesome people.

Fuck Reddit...

The neoSD does not work with the magickey converter. It does work with the daedalus converter though, but it's not supported (i.e. if you have issues using the MVS cart on a AES through a converter, you are on your own). My advice would be to get the AES cart, do not mess with converters.

Try using BIOS for both mode (AES or MVS) and region and see if the probem persists. I see pixels flickering but only when I'm not using BIOS as my option.

It's 1.06 R10.
I think I figured it out, it is the power supply. I have a PRO-POW but apparently there is a bit of play in the contact, reseating the cartridge probably moves the power connector a tiny bit each time. It's weird though, I'm getting more problems in the sdmenue than the games themselves (lots of random tile swaps), is the cart drawing more power in the menue compared to when it's in game mode? I guess it's in the end a brown out issue?

I would like to add : some Daedalus converters seems to be not working with neosd , (probably a specific revision of the Daedalus) .... so yes , people should be careful with converters ....

Well your right the magickey does not work with the mvs neosd. I will leave this here for anyone who wants this answered in the future. Gotta help out the community. So when I would power it on I would get nothing but jumbled graphics and no splash screen. Do not use the magic key or any other converter with the neosd. PERIOD Does Not Work!

We knew that already... Just sayin'...

The ONLY reason you're getting a reply from me... is that the Neosd threads are viewed along the lines of protecting the community projects...

Like the NTM memory cards... raz's Unibios... etc etc...

Alex and the Neosd Team made me a promise... and for that... I "moderate" to ensure the peace....

This is kind of an odd question but I've observed certain games load fine if set to say BIOS and AES or MVS. But if you hard select a region like USA they won't load (example Super Sidekicks 4). I've thought this is in part because there isn't actually a USA specific AES BIOS but I figured it's worth asking to see if anyone else has input on why.

So, I've been updated to the latest FW for awhile now. Really only had the last couple nights to dig in to a few games. On the older FW [whatever it shipped with] I never had a single issue. Newest FW, however, I am getting some weirdness. I assume it's the "flicker" spoken of in other posts?

I get some actualy flicker, then a few random lines of pixels will be displaced horizontally. It's random. I was playing Karnov's Revenge and it would be followed by full on black screen for a few seconds. [this could be my framemeister though if the cart is wigging out the framemeister usually gives up like that]

I'm noticing more and more as well. Before it seemed to just be a couple games and not very often. Now, it seems to be every game. Last game I tried to play was Kizuna Encounter and all I got was a black screen with credits graphics. ???

I've tried switching BIOS setting and anything else in the options menu to no avail. I'll hopefully have some time today to experiment further.

Is the cart properly seated? having a screen with just text looks like some pin is not making proper contact in the cart connector. If that happens, you can try moving the cart a bit and see if the graphics appear.
