Ah.. If you press and hold the action button the character will jump. If you press a direction after doing this you will jump in that direction. By letting go of the button in mid jump you will perform a jump attack. Holding the up direction and action will use magic. Holding down and action will do a special attack. Holding left or right and action will do a normal attack. Thanks for the compliment. If you hold action on the game over screen you will continue.

You're great at sensing sarcasm. I'm done w you. I've provided 3 links in an attempt to educate you, but you've ignored them.
How do you know I ignored them? They didn't prove that I was mistaken in any way as I haven't said any of the things that you've claimed that I've said. I will defend my knowledge (you obviously haven't seen all the of the work I've done what with my arcade, RGB modded screens, JAMMA-DRIVES, controller mods, and programming to prove that I know what I'm doing) whenever is necessary, but I've been done with your acidic crap from the second I read how bitter and insulting you are to just about anyone who says anything on this forum. What systems do you own and play? Are you here as a fan of Atari or just a supposed know-it-all that attacks people constantly.

Yep it's the RAM why arcade screens look different than AES. Nothing to do w the video encoder on the home system. As we all know, RF output and RGB are the exact same video quality. You obviously have no idea what RAM actually is, does or how it works. I provided you w 3 links and you still ignore the facts. Good day, sir.
I said CHIPSET! It's the Toshiba CHIPSET that is used in the MVS system (most, if not all the chips on the MVS are Toshiba). I also happen to know that the MVS can be modded to have different outputs and work on standard TV's, etc. To say that a television looks the same as an arcade screen is absurd. RF is no where near that of an arcade monitor. RF is the same as RGB?

Actually you can region switch with a replacement bios NOT included in a standard Neo Geo. And, there a so many 68000 games on the Amiga and Atari ST systems that are simply rips of one another that each of the created BS memes is totally irrelevant. What CJ is doing is RIPPING 68000 games from the Atari ST and then tweaking them to work on the 68000 of the Jaguar! They are ripped and then ported, and no, I'm sure it's not simple. Not always anyway.

The different brand of RAM has NOTHING to do with the differences in the games. Sony RAM doesn't show a game differently than Toshiba RAM. And of course the systems aren't literally 100% the same down to every single component, even MVS boards have different revisions. Lastly, the AES and MVS mask ROMs are 100% exactly the same thing. AES games don't have different ROMs with "all the versions" of the games, as has already been pointed out on here, but you seem to ignore anyone who corrects your mistakes. But hey, if you want to continue spouting inaccuracies, that's certainly your choice.
You're the only one spouting inaccuracies in that I never claimed anything of the sort. There are no AES versions of certain games and so to say that all versions are present on an AES game is not to say that there are multiple games, but to show that all forms of the game are playable! All the versions of the game, I.E. the arcade version, home version, different variances based on region are on the AES cart. There are games that have NO version other than a particular region! AND the Toshiba chipsets are used to display the games on an ARCADE screen which most definitely looks different than a AES system that outputs to a television! Again, I have spouting nothing inaccurate. How can the AES rom be the same on MVS for an MVS game that was never made for a home system? You're just badgering me and attacking everything I say! I may not have worded things clearly enough to begin with, but you are just attacking me and that is obvious! Your the type of, ahem..person, that attacks everything people say and I've certainly seen enough evidence of this.

These are differences based on the BIOS and/or dip switch settings. Not the ROMs. I don't know how many more times we can tell you that. It's not because one has Sony RAM and the other has Toshiba. These are facts, not opinions.
I never said the differences weren't because of the bios. I actually said that I considered the bios as part of the hardware. Not everyone has universe bios. The RAM has, from what I know, very little to do with the games appearance. I only stated that the RAM was different, whereas you are saying that the hardware is identical. It is NOT!
I also said that the games appeared nearly identical. I wouldn't go so far as to say that a U.S. region or Euro region T.V. compares realistically to an arcade screen. If you have the Japanese version you get a different game. There are games that were never released on AES. This was what I meant when saying some of the MVS games were regional. I've read on several Neo Geo forums that all versions were on AES carts. I can't confirm this completely as I own a multicart. I also said that I have a cart with all of the best Neo Geo games on it.

Did anyone mention Punch Out? The nes game is quite a bit different to the point where I don't know if it qualifies as a 'port'..

What was the crash like?
Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the sky! Rivers and seas boiling!
Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!
Winston: RAAAAY! When someone asks you if you're a god..you say..YES!!!

I was shocked the first time I rented Double Dragon for my NES and realized it was only one player! I liked that the little one-on-one fighting game was included, but felt that unlocking moves gradually and not being able to play with a partner made it quite a bit different than Double Dragon (like, uh..no double!!)!! I was very pleased with the Master System, as two people could play together and it retained the same look and feel of the arcade version. You could use all the moves from the start and all the enemies were there. A negative would be that there is a lot of flickering and the art is a bit on the SD side. I eventually had fun with both, but the Master System version seems better to me.
-
I think that the Jaguar is still a bit better, due the carts that last a very long time and the ability for newer things to be programmed today. I don't know of too many people like CJ on the Jag, who make new 3DO titles. The ability to rip 68000 titles and port them makes the system very tempting for old schoolers like myself.
..as far as RAM not being HD..here's all I have to say..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
..something like this is what I use for back up and storage.
..and on the note of old tech cars and gas mileage. Of course one would delve back into pre WWII Model T's and compare them to unattainable sports cars. It's an extreme that makes me seem old and crotchety. So, like Albert recommended, here is a link of what I was really talking about..
http://www.cargurus.com/Cars/1984-Honda-Civic-Overview-c4669
This car got 30+ miles to the gallon in 84 and came with a cassette player that never skipped no matter how high you leaped it off of a hill at a local park.
I have my opinions and am not as stupid as everyone seems to think I am. As for Neo Geo.. I would think that an insert coin and unlimited continues vs a finite continue count is a big difference. I would think that a Samurai being cut in half with his body flipping apart and blood spraying all over the place vs green blood and a flashing sprite with a little sliding effect to be a big difference. I would think that Mai Shiranui in all her hotness and bouncing glory vs an immovable upper body sprite is a big difference (for me anyway). Sony RAM vs Toshiba RAM may not be that big of a difference, but it is different.
A troll is someone that induces arguments. When someone is just giving their own points that is not trolling. Trolling is where someone just calls you wrong or stupid with no backing, or continually calls you a troll and recommends that others not communicate with you. That is far more an act of a troll than someone just defending their own opinion or knowledge.

Look, I don't want to drag this further off topic, especially because your build is cool. But you're wrong, plain and simple. Especially when you take production number into consideration. You can easily track game releases by year here: http://www.arcade-history.com/index.php?page=database
Games like Asteroids and Centipede sold around 50,000 units. Space Invaders and Pac Man had six-digit production numbers. If you don't think that dwarfs the number of Neo Geo games out there, try to find a Donkey Kong cab for sale, and then try to find an MVS running Fūun Super Tag Battle.
Don't take my word for it; here is inflation adjusted arcade revenue.
When I said MORE games I didn't mean sheer number of the same game being mass produced, I meant variety! I'm not at all wrong that there were MORE games in the late eighties and early nineties. You could go to an arcade and find several generations of games to play. Also the early to mid eighties was the video game crash period, not the golden age. The reason I picked the late seventies to the early nineties is because that covers what I would consider to be the event that was arcade games in general and their 'golden age'. Arcades are all but dead today. Just because I respect variety over sheer numbers in sales does not make me wrong. My opinion is different, that's all. I don't think that discussing arcade games or their rise and fall is to far off topic for this, but again, that is just my opinion.
I think my arcade covers the subject of video games in a pure light. I have games from the late seventies all the way up to the XBOX (original). My goal was to have all of the best consoles (in my opinion) hooked up to arcade controls and able to be played upright like much of the original source was. To play Joust on the VCS standing upright with arcade controls was something unheard of unless you bought an X-Arcade machine and used it with with PC Emulators. It was still not real hardware and I wanted to have all the actual systems with as little emulation as possible. I also wanted to cover video pinball games from consoles in a way that returned them to an original feel like real pinball and each of my cabinets has flipper buttons set up to play whatever pinball games were released for those consoles. As far as I know, this has never been done.
-
People who were still playing consoles and hadn't moved on to playing games on home computers found games cheap and plentiful. Games that used to be $40 were $5, and even then most people didn't care because they were playing games on home computers or had moved on to playing Trivial Pursuit, Laser Tag, Teddy Ruxpin, and all sorts of other things.
There are few things to this day as totally awesome, bodacious, or badical as Teddy Ruxpin (saved in the back of my head with lit up red eyes) singing Black Sabbath!!
I'm getting another one, that does it..

People went back to lawn darts that punched holes in your skull and arcades were stunted to the point of occupying check out lines and bars for a short time. I think it all started when Nintendo saw Donkey Kong for the Colecovision and left the 82 CES put out! They wanted to have Atari make their new system and decided to do it themselves after that. The short pause in video game craziness was enough time for Japan to fortify and take over. This is my opinion based on a lot of study, but I'm pretty sure history will concur.

I LOVE the music in that game! It's excellent. One of the few arcade to NES ports that wasn't screwed up! My wife is extremely good at that game. We got a Games Family 60 in 1 that has it, although the original is always best! Good fortune with that sale.

HAHA bullshit
either that or they are just trying to not piss off there weird friend who asks them over to show off his cable on his old TV.
..actually he came over to drink a bottle of vodka with me and to chum up. The T.V. had nothing to do with it. As for pissing me off. I wouldn't. It's simple. Modern technology is CRAAAAAAP! It's not SCOTTISH and it REEKS. LCD T.V.s have a back light that goes out in a few years or less! Modern MP3 players lose the ability to charge and end up in trash heaps, whereas old cassette players can have batteries replaced easily and never skip. Old T.V.s can be repaired easily and last half a century or more. The rudeness and lack of respect of certain people on this forum is truly profound! Saying that the difference is night and day is true. Old tech is better by a massive amount! Old cars still run and get better gas mileage, old T.V.s still work, old game systems still play and are fun without a subscription, old record players still work, old 8-bit and 16-bit computers still work, old VHS tapes still work after twenty to thirty years. If longevity means nothing to you or value for your money, then your argument still has little weight to support that modern tech is superior.
We are talking about 3DO's (mid to old tech), Jaguars, and CDi's. I have ALL THREE and prefer them over modern tech game systems. I don't need a high speed internet connection to use it and I still use my imagination, so it's better to me. Saying what I said is bulls#it is crude, mannerless, crass and obtuse. Show some respect!
I am not a TROLL. I'm a programmer on this forum that makes games I plan to sell. I program and have extensive knowledge to back up my claims. I'm sure that someone that wasted thousands on modern tech is going to support their investment as they wouldn't want to regret the mistake. You will in four years when the thing won't turn on or everything goes DLC and there is nothing to play without a subscription or high speed connection. I will have the books I read, record players, T.V.s that I can repair, cartridge based systems that will likely never die. You can keep up with the Joneses and be broke, but I will have the things I like and know I made the right choice FOR ME!

Sorry but I have Digital HD TV. no way anyone is going to tell me the old analog tv broadcasts look better.
..and, nowhere did I say that. I wasn't talking about broadcasts at all. I've actually had Digital TV owners come to my house and see cable on my old school TV and say.."WOW, That looks GREAT!!" I will tell you that my TV will outlast yours and use less power and satisfy ME!
..and here we are on AtariAge. Arguing over whether old school is better or not..
-
A source that was designed for DVD from the start should have been filmed in analog, in my opinion, possibly Super 8, so there would be NO missing colors. I think digital film always has looked worse. I also think that tube TV sets look better than digital TV. I think that LCD screens are too blury and Plasma screens are too digital and seperate color too much. I really haven't seen much technical advancement that was worth the change, only drawing out of the consumers money.
I also think that records and cassettes sound better, last longer, never skip while driving (in the case of cassettes, of course), are usually more durable, and are all around better than disks.
-
Superior in every way? what about picture quality.
Digital is what they think you need to see, decoded and GRAINY!! VHS is NO missing color and therefor, in my opinion, looks better! I've watched a movie like, say..Conan the Barbarian and it has no grainy missing colors that decoding causes or skipping or stuttering that DVD's, etc. can have. If you look at the sky or backgrounds in a VHS movie you can see ALL of the color, not little lego bricks of digitization or missing color. And I said "Superior in NEARLY every way." , like there are menus and you can usually go where you want at any time on a disk.

"This is Sparta!!!!"
..the country of lovely women..
..while..
..in 387 BC the Peace of Antalcidas was established, according to which all Greek cities of Ionia would return to Persian control, and Persia's Asian border would be free of the Spartan threat. .

Maybe instead it's time for a new DVD (or better yet, BluRay) player and for you to stop scratching your discs?
I NEVER scratch my disks. I always make sure to leave the data side finger print free! My disks have aged rather well, although I have been through quite a few DVD players. I have so far refused to move up to Bue Ray, as I just don't think it's worth it, although eventually I may depending on what comes out and when. I find VHS superior to DVD in nearly every way. Just because it requires a little more patience and there are no menus does not make it inferior. My VHS movies all still work very well and play without skipping (obviously) and very few have problems. The ones that do are usually recorded tapes from television or dubs. Digital (in my opinion) just means 'Things left out..'.

..by joysick, I mean ARCADE JOYSTICK and ARCADE BUTTONS!!

Oh yeah.. Sewer Shark was fun (Ratagators!!) Also the 32XCD FMV games can be pretty neat, considering the much higher color. Some of the light gun shooters with FMV weren't that bad in my opinion. I just think the idea that FMV was the new future of games went Hindenburg pretty fast. Also, there are variants of Dragons Lair that don't have the flashing that indicate where and when to move the joystick or push the button, and that was a bit frustrating for me (actually, I don't even see how people could play it without the indicators).
I enjoy converting DVDs to VCD and playing them on a CDi, or my 3-disk JVC VCD player. I have a huge stack of VCD movies and they virtually never skip and sound great. When DVD movies skip I get frustrated and think about making a double decker DVD/VHS player copying station to watch them dubbed on VHS, so I know they won't skip. I've done it with a couple of movies and that's one way to stop that ever failing DVD from ruining movie night with the old lady.

This whole post is borderline unbelievable. And I'm being serious btw.
MVS & AES games, from the same region, are represented identically on either hardware. You're confusing the hardware itself with the software. In this case, the bios within the MVS & AES can determine which region of game you play. If you buy Fatal Fury and play it on a Japanese console, you end up playing Garou Densetsu. If you buy Garou Densetsu and play it on a US or EURO console, you end up playing Fatal Fury.
In respect of this, any changes you feel you see to any animations (read: Mai's tits bouncing in KOF etc) is nothing to do with the hardware (MVS or AES) the games are running on, but all to do with the BIOS running on the hardware and *shock* the dipswitch settings chosen whilst running the MVS version. And, it doesn't end there.
The shock of the matter is, the AES can be fitted with a UniBIOS which enables you to run any single AES title in whichever region you please (EU/US/JP) AND it also allows you to tweak the dipswitch settings through the software, as you would via an MVS cab.
Even MORE ridiculous, the UNIBios allows you to run AES games on your AES in MVS mode! And, a further revelation, if you consolize an MVS, you can opt to use the UNIBios in that build and, if you wish, have your CMVS (as we call it) run games in AES/Home Cart mode!
For a start...

I hope this post doesn't incite internal combustion or on-the-spot suicide.
Thanks.
If the unibios lets you run any version that you want then how is it wrong to say that all variations of the rom are on the AES cart? Again, I've read this and seen the differences. The bios (I would consider to be part of the hardware) is partly what I was talking about, so I'd have to say that that was right, too. But, if there are better caps in an MVS, the sound is better, the screen (*sigh) of an arcade system is MUCH better than the T.V. set the AES is designed for. I've read that the Euro system is slower (50hz). I happen to know FOR A FACT that if you play a ROM on different hardware that it can (and sometimes does) look and sound different. There are actually many complaints regarding the sound on AT-Games systems compared to actual hardware, and the same is true for the Neo-Geo X, where hardcore collecters note obvious lag and sound differences (again, I've read and seen these differences). I can't believe that you're arguing that a home system is identical to an arcade system. The components in the arcade system are better, higher quality parts.
Are you insinuting I should commit suicide over the Neo-Geo?

Well, the cabinet looks great like a pretty lady that you scan from bottom to top and then when you reach the middle are like "GOOOOOOOOO!!"! Just wire the pads to buttons and joysticks. It's so easy, even I could do it!! Anyway, that's one beautiful cabinet! What I did on mine was wire Jaguar controls (flat padded and telephoned) and 7800 (monstorously finger freaking and wrist wreaking) controllers to the same Happ parts (competition grade controllers and buttons). I used a switchbox to seperate the 7800 buttons from the buttons that are shared.
I really love the orange and the style of the cabinet itself. The art is excellent and the design is a good choice. I just want to go there and wire controls to it...
Here's how I did it..

I like the orange, though..very nice.
