+Charlie Cat Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hi guys, This evening, we are with AtariAge member, awbacon. Welp, today is the day on the unveiling of his Samurai Shodown 64 prototype. Let's dive right in to have a listen. The suspense is driving me bonkers. From the description, " Now what do we have here? A rusty hulk of a door stop? A pretty paperweight? An extremely rare prototype? Or a retail rom on a strange cartridge? Well...you have to watch Or I guess you can skip to the end but everything building up to what it actually is will be of interest! Because you can't just slap a game like this on a motherboard and flip the power switch without being careful first. But what is the Samurai Shodown 64 Hyper Neo Geo Cartridge in the photo? Well...it's an awesome fighting game from SNK that's for sure! Check back next week for part 2 :)" Anthony... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worrie about a new Neo-Geo game or something to add to the thread bro. Were glad to see you back on with us posting away. Hmmm. I just went on the neo-geo fourms and nothing either. I'm just a guests viewing the material on there to see the latest. Did this happen just today? Anthony.. If we loose the neo forum resource it will be a great loss. Underneath the bull shi* arguments and petty drama it had a great deal of useful info on there. i will say I am excited for the many homebrew shoot em ups coming out. Andro dunos 2 will be one I pick up for sure when it is released. Now that the used game market is so out of control the higher priced homebrews are a much easier pill to swallow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually more inspired by Pulstar on the Neo Geo, which itself is very R-Type by design. "R-Type-likes" have been their own genre since the original game released with countless games that borrowed from it following. So I guess I just take your comment as a compliment... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah bro. lots of useful resources that I kept for references for later on. If I remember correctly, this happen before. Don't recall why it happen the first time, but they went back online again soon after. Anthony.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his past photos, he looked more aggressive with his front section of his hair pushback and a stone cold face ready to fight. Anthony... Yeah, in this case I think it would be nice if they went back to something resembling his old designs from the 90s a bit more. I still prefer this over his tiny-face look because at least the proportions don't look super strange, but the 90s design is still his best. Yuri looks weird, too, though. I don't know, I guess I prefer most of the old designs from the 90s. The designs in the newer SNK games just look really strange to me for some reason. By the way, did anyone here get the Open MVS? I might preorder one soon, but he's out of MV1C motherboards and is unsure of when he'll get more of them. Looks like his target ship date is in June at the latest for DIY kits without the MV1C.

Steven Pendleton Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 I finally figured out why the AES Darksoft cart's DIP switches for MVS mode don't work: the AES cart doesn't support this and they have no plans to implement it. Why have those options in the menu, then? Weird design decision. I guess if you want the complete MVS experience on the AES, don't bother with the Darksoft cart and get the NeoSD instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still going to keep it Steve? Anthony.. Maybe. I've got both the NeoSD Pro AES and the NeoSD Pro MVS coming here in a month or so. I'm going to compare the NeoSD Pro to the Darksoft cart and see which one I like more. If I like the NeoSD Pro enough, I should and probably will sell the Darksoft cart. No point in keeping it at that point, as it's an expensive thing that will end up unused. It's still a great option if you want the full AES experience or the default MVS settings. As for the graphical glitching in the Darksoft cart, it seems to be related to the FPGA somehow and Darksoft is looking into it to see if it can be fixed. It looks like it might not actually be my AES and this is just how the cart is, which makes me feel a lot better. I was worried my AES was damaged somehow, but apparently not. I have not taken a picture of the graphical glitching, but someone else did: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/aes-multi-cart-troubleshooting-and-help.8772/page-41#post-268016 See that line right below Terry's hair? Those things constantly show up all over the place in some games. I sit 2 feet in front of my monitor since I play at my desk, so I notice everything, but it might not be noticeable if you sit farther away. Hopefully they can fix this.

Yeah Steve, I see it on the link you provide. Man, seeing it all over the place must be terrible. I agree, I think it's best to sell it and try to get as much back that you point into it. But would love to see pics of the NeoSD Pro both MVS and AES version from you, and give your opinion over it for sure. Anthony.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't have an MVS yet, so it might be a while before I can actually review the MVS version, but from what I understand, the AES and MVS versions are basically exactly the same thing, just one is an AES cart and one is an MVS cart. Pictures of the MVS version are no problem on day 1, though! As for the graphical glitching, it really isn't bad in some games, but it is in others. I honestly haven't had the Neo Geo set up for a while because I finally got the S-video cable that I wanted for my Dreamcast, so maybe I'll set up the Neo Geo again. I've gone a bit too long without playing the Neo Geo anyway, and I might as well use that Real Bout that I bought a while ago! Speaking of the Dreamcast, have you tried Mark of the Wolves on the Dreamcast? It's pretty cheap and easy to find and I see complete copies of it all the time for 3000~4000 yen in town. I might get one. The Dreamcast was the first system that I'm aware of that can do uncompromised Neo Geo ports, so I've been thinking about getting the Dreamcast version. The Dreamcast is a really awesome system and I wish it hadn't died the way it did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first Japanese game that I purchased years ago for the Dreamcast. I still love that port and think it was well developed. In fact, I rate that as one of my top Dreamcast games for the unit and wouldn't sell that from the SNK collection I have. Really fun playing it and still is after all these years. Anthony...

In that case, I think I'll get the Dreamcast version when I go to Akiba. It's a really great game. I still can't believe they made that game on a system that was released in early 1990. The backgrounds and the characters' animation frames are just ridiculous. I'd really like to see SNK make a sequel to Mark of the Wolves. I am still planning on getting the AES version, but we'll see. That's a lot of cash to spend on one game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they decide to actually make it someday, though. It would probably be in 3D just like the modern KOF games, but it would be nice if they actually made it in 2D instead in the same style as the Neo Geo games. If there's one game that never got the sequel that it deserved, it's this one. It's like Terry's story is incomplete, especially since they planned and started working on a sequel that ended up not happening. Now that I think about it, SNK did tease a new system. Hopefully it's actually a new Neo Geo instead of another emulation box, but even their emulation boxes are really good recently. Apparently the MVSX is actually extremely good, so hopefully they make a really nice new system with new games like a sequel to Mark of the Wolves. I'd buy it for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprise if they do make a Mark of the Wolves 2 or Special. Remember when all of a sudden they offered Samurai Shodown V Perfect? Well I believe that they will pull another stunner in which SNK will say that they were able to complete MotW2 and make it available so way for the public to play. That's true bro. The MVSX was pretty skeptical at first thinking it was some unknown company that was willing to manufacture them for cheap for SNK to pay pennies on the Dollar (or Yen) for them. Now after all said in done, it's worthwhile to buy one for the collection. If I had the room, I would've purchased it. Anthony.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Robo army, spinmaster, aero fighters 2, viewpoint, and alpha mission 2 are my most played games Edited March 14, 2021 by The Undecided 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Since we're collection sharing, here's my current MVS stuff. Removed one game I just couldn't make myself keep, added one, and a few extra bits I picked up to a couple others. I probably should snap my NGPC setup at some point, would easily fit in a picture spread out. I got to get that thing and IPS panel at some point so I feel motivated to use it again. I have a flickr account album, and yeah it heads off with some awesome engrish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
