    I got new ROMs for SFA2 AND 3, I think USA versions not EUROPE, and it looks like is working. The MSHvsSF and MvsC, and Waku Waku 7 are working also. The MSHvsSF and MvsC needs USA roms also. The main zip is EUROPE and it did not work.

    The Metal Slug 5 and 6 does not work, I got new ROMs also and did not work.

     

    There is one thing you need to watch out that when you first start Neo Geo games, it needs to convert them to .MVS format which takes few minutes, and there is no indication that is doing that. Then you can play and load is faster.

    How's the neo geo & cps2 compatibility?

     

    Neo Geo games, if they load, play real good. I say "if the load", because some Metal Slug games did not work, i dont know why. I'm thinking that if the ROM is large in size it may not load.

    CPS2 games, if they load, play real good too, Street Fighter Alpha 2 and 3 just reboots he console,

    CPS2 games tested:

    Puzzle Loop 2, Darkstalkers, Armored Wariors, Megaman 2, Xmen vs SF, Super Puzzle Fighter 2, Gigawing, Mars Matrix, Alien vs Predator, they all seemed to be playable.

     

    I'm not expert in detecting any frame skip, so to me they all work fine.

     

    The system comes preloaded with 60 some games, most are CPS1 and NEoGeo and no CPS2 games, but you can load them with microSD card

     

    I can test any other game, just let me know.

     

    I hope it helps.

    Main point, What are the best emulators out there for me to test drive some 5200/7800 games on before I decide to purchase yet ANOTHER console.

    Mainly I'm lookin for good emulation (of course!) so that I can be getting a good representation of what these game will play like on a real system.

    There is no comparison real vs emulated for 5200. The 5200 have horrible analog joystick, in emulation you will probably use digital joypad or keyboard, in real system you will use original joystick, which is not that great.

    So, you will get used to playing with PC joypad and say, this is not bad, but with real system you will find out how BAD the joystick is.

    In 7800 the joystick would not win any awards also, it's awkward to play with.

     

    Now, the games I enjoy playing on 5200 are Centipede and Missile command with 5200 trackball, it's perfect.

    Ok so the games are hard to find and I want this for one game only, my question is does it play backups of disc? If so I am very interested just to plat Tempest 3000 and it has the controller.

    I don't think it will play backups, I have one, and its not even playing my own DVD-R movies, also this model does not support homebrew games.

    I know most of the Ataiage members had to replace a floppy drive belts at least once, so where would be a good place to get some? Is it cheaper just to get PC drive and sacrifices it for the good of vintage drive?

    If you have an Amiga 600 or 1200 then I can help you. I made a cable from 1541 disk drive to my Amiga computer, with supplied software it works great.

    I like Amiga 600 and 1200, because of PCMCIA port, you can transfer files from PC to Amiga with ease.

    I had NO luck with PC solution.

    The other solution, costs about $40, sd2iec adapter. Put files on SD card, lunch sw, choose disk image, run software. http://www.nkcelectronics.com/sd2iec-boar2.html

    This hw works really good, got it installed internally.

    I am still curious about the Amiga, apparent headaches aside. My curiosity has to do with gaming, after seeing some clips of Amiga animation.

    If you want to get into Amiga, try to get A1200 model. The A1200 comes with 2.5in IDE connector and PCMCIA slot. You can use PCMCIA for file transfer with CF to PCMCIA converter, ADF2DISK software to transfer adf disk images to real floppies, or if you go all out, use WHDLoad, you can play most floppy games from HD. There are so many possibilities.

    Amiga 2000, it's basically HUGE Amiga 500 with Zorro slots. All will come with at minimum 1MB RAM, 7MHz 68000 CPU, you can add 8MB more with an expansion board. I think A2000 is easiest Amiga for upgrades, like more ram, bigger CPU, CDROM, Hard Drive, ethernet, Video Toaster, graphic cards etc.

    If you have space, you can play all A500 games on it.

    I had 1 port bad in mine, the joystick would always go left-right, but no up-down. So, the story goes, the chip that controls the input is the POKEY chip according to the schematics. I got one POKEY chip from Ballblazers for A7800. De soldered the chip from cartridge and replace it in Atari 5200.

    I also feel that spending time collecting games more than actually playing them is also something that needs to change.

     

    This is why I buy games that I actually want to play.

     

    I see a lot of people here that complete the collection and then want to sell it, because it's no fun any more, no thrill of hunting down a rare game.

     

    This is why, sometimes, you need to rip out that plastic out of the sealed game and PLAY it :lust: .

     

    Good luck on your sale.

    I am currently thinking of getting a Neo Geo again and was wondering how much the CDZ units and original CD units go for and if any one had one for sale or trade, what are people's opinion of them, is it worth getting one. Thanks for your time.

     

    Few years back I made a Dreamcast CD with Neo Geo CD emulator, I did not tried this recently, but it was able to play original Neo Geo CD games, and "copies" too. So unless you want the console, I would try Dreamcast first.

    I had been messing with my old C64 a lot lately until my monitor just died. Sure I could hook it up to the TV or something but I want a dedicated screen for it. Looking for a cheep CRT TV with S-vid in right now.

     

    That would defiantly be a nice "on the go" machine though. As far as games, the C64 is still very a live with a lot of home brews coming down the pipes all the time. Lately I've just been playing VICE with Paperboy, Wizard of Wor, Summer Games, and a little bit of Giana Sisters 2 thrown in the mix. When I get my x1541 cable finished (waiting on parts in the mail. I was out of 6 PIN DINs) the c64 will find it's place back on my desk and I can kick Vice to the curb, new monitor or not. I'll drag an old CRT out of storage if need be.

    I made my self X1541 cable and for some reason it did not work with my 233MHZ Win2k Laptop, I tried different settings with parallel port and did not work. BUT, there was a similar cable for Amiga 1200 Computer, there are 2 extra pins with little different pin out. the Amiga version of X1541 cable and Amiga software work beautifully. Just drag and drop files, the 1541 disk drive shows up in Amiga desktop. I needed this setup to transfer some games for my C=Plus/4. works very well.
