So my question is if you get a us AES but have a Japanese game it plays in english. Vice-versa with a Japanese system. Does a neo geo cd system work the same way? I'm having a hell of a time finding a us neo cd system so I don't want to buy the Japanese system but then have all my games in japanese.
Question?...Neo Cd

Put an English game in a Japanese system and it'll be in English, at least that is how I remember it being. The music player startup screen will be in Japanese however.

It's no different from the AES. System bios region dictates region output of the game unless you change settings or have a unibios.

Yes and much much easier to repair if needed.

On region one thing worth noting it's a lot of the later games that were popular when the cd came out have a language setting so region isn't relevant. My CDZ has a region mod, but I often set it for Japanese region with English text in game to avoid censorship.

Tbh the price you're going to pay for a CDZ you could just get a CMVS and have no load times at all. Plus most MVS carts are cheaper than their Neo Cd versions, though there are some exceptions. Though supposedly now you can remove the optical drive from a ncd and install a hard drive in it and load any game you want have much of a load time and you dont need a cdz for that.

I think it depends; if you are going to be playing a lot of fighters, get the CDZ, but if you are not, I think many of the other games have tolerable load times, specially since some of them only need to load once. Frankly, if you are going to be playing a lot of fighters though, you should just go MVS all together.
Is the uni bios available for the neo cd specifically made for it, is it hard to install? Would like to get one for my cdz now that I know there is such a thing.

CDZ all the way if your set on a CD system, makes the load times mostly insignificant.... Just don't play LB2.... or SSRPG, nothing can help those 2.

Yeah, as everybody has said, most of the games below 300 megs are perfect for a CDZ. The CD one has some awful loading times

Your answers are in here. In short: yes, yes (and not at all recommended for the CDZ).

Wish I got a CDZ for closer to $100 when I was scoping them out in 2012... Remember seeing a few sell and thinking, eh, when the price goes down

You are not the only one
Happened also to few games, back in 2008 went to japan and saw quite a "cheap" waku waku 7 (around 140usd) and ninja masters (around 300).... decided to pass, worst decision ever

Seriously! It amazes me how the prices of retro games have skyrocketed over the past decade or so. I remember actively using eBay to fill in the gabs in my SEGA CD and Saturn collections, and I'm so glad I did. I bought Snatcher for around $65, and today...well...it goes for crazy amounts. I see the same holds true for Neo-related goods as well.
