Hi guys,

 

Back with Atariage member @GadgetUK with an update with the Xeno Crisis concern. Let's listen in on what he has to say shall we. :)

 

From the description,

"If you have the AES or MVS version and a UNIBIOS, you can switch the game music into stereo easily =D Thanks to Bitmap Bureau for sharing this quick fix with me. It does need to be re-applied between power cycles, but a more permanent fix is coming."

Anthony I let them know this patch doesn't fix the sound on an Omega MVS, at least not on mine.

Oh wow! That's interesting to know Mike. Glad you wrote in to them since you and others are experiencing trouble bro.

When I emailed them last night about the bug, Mike actually got back to me with a real-person response in just 7 min saying they'd check it out. Wow.

 

The more I think about that, limited ammo is the gameplay balance point between the two selectable characters, and I might not want unlimited on. I still suck at xeno crisis, and haven't beaten the first boss, so I'll probably give in and try easy-mode today. ;)  I have gotten farther with the evercade/genesis/dreamcast versions, but I also think easy mode may have been involved there.

 

For differences so far, I'm noticing that there seems to be more frames of animation on a lot of little things, tweaked controls, possibly rebalanced enemy ratios, new art for rescuable civilians, and the music doesn't pause between rooms. It doesn't have the pop-up scores on defeated enemies of the more modern systems, and I can't help but think the neo geo sprite count could have handled that. I'm aware that there is also increased color count (from pre-release comparison shots), but my eyes really had trouble seeing that in stills, much less when the action is going.

 

Anyway, I did also made another purchase from them last night, I ordered the arcade 'fixins' kit (I want the mini marquee since this cart will probably live inside my mvs cab nearly permanently, and while I was there, I also ordered the NGCD version, because it does sound very nice.  I wasn't sure if the coming-soon digital rom pack from my mvs purchase included the CD version's digital too.

 

I'm having a blast. I already did the unboxing portion of my video on it (since I've never gotten a new MVS game before), and am doing my gameplay & comparison footage today if I manage to 'get gud' enough on it that I don't totally embarrass myself.

Good to know Reaper. Yeah, Mike response really quickly and is just as concern seeing it's not just one or two gamers that are having trouble. He's been working around the clock trying to find out why this is happening and wants to troubleshoot it ASAP.

 

Glad you ordered the NGCD version bro. They say that particular port was excellent with not bugs at all. So far, its a fantastic port that most are giving it a perfect 10 score. i didn't pre-order it. But i wish that I did.

Here's my big take on it, I do some side-by-side split screen with the genesis toward the end:

 

The differences are subtle.  I keep going back and forth on if there's a scaling thing the drop-in spiders do on the second level, because it's so quick.

Thank you for sharing your excellent gameplay and review of Xeno Crisis for the Neo-Geo MVS Reaper. So glad you enjoy your purchase and having a blast playing it at the same time bro. We would love to see you do more new Neo-Geo unboxing videos in the near future future. Would be fine additions to your channel bro. :)

Same with my Omega--I guess that fix doesn't like the MV1C.

The music does seem to be there on the right channel, just very, very (very) low. And also in mono, where genesis music seems to be in stereo.

 

I have some old headphones that let me adjust cup volume independently, and left has to be turned down to 1, to match a full volume (10) on the right cup. That right channel's music also has a high-pitched squealing noise in with the music.

I am especially interested in how many lives you get (relative to 1 credit on the arcade version) in Metal Slug X.

For Metal Slug X:

In MVS Arcade mode, the softdips default to 3 lives, but let operators pick any number between 1&99 lives per credit

In AES Console mode, the option menu defaults to 3 lives, and lets players pick between any number between 1&5

(same cart, just switched bios over)

 

It's pretty common for an MVS arcade game's softdip menu to allow tuning the number of lives per credit, but pretty uncommon for it to allow silly numbers like 99, as it does in Metal Slug X.

Hi Lord Mushroom,

 

Thank you for stopping by the Neo-Geo thread. Yes, Neo-Geo games on the AES do give you the same amount of lives per player just like the MVS arcade would give you. As for Metal Slug X. Reaperman said it best to help you with that gem of a title bro. :)

Hi guys,

 
After years of waiting, it’s finally here. Developed by@BitmapBureau, Xeno Crisis is the first brand-new #neogeo AES release I’ve purchased since Matrimelee more than 15 years ago. Resisting the temptation to pick up the Genesis and Evercade versions was torture! #RETROGAMING
