The aes gives you a licence to do
:D;):D and put anyone in their place if they dont have one.
Mvs games cost fraction of most AES ports,metal slug been an famous example.
one mvs adaptor here- http://www.arcadeshock.com/items/accessories-/super-mvs-convertor-ii-mvs-aes-blue-led-snmc-acc-detail.htm
Some sellers adapt mvs games to aes carts,which seems bad or good whoever you talk to.
unibios changes the region of the system- http://unibios.free.fr/whatisit.html
Racketboy did a nice but small guide here on system- http://www.racketboy.com/retro/2011/05/snk-neo-geo-101-a-beginners-guide.html
More questions on serials here- http://nfggames.com/games/neorgb/
My own view,try get one that has pro pow 3 or por pow E at bottom so you can get an psu off console goods and run system off an uk source-

i think you looking to pay about €200+ for aes system with games,maybe a fiver if your burton.0 -

Great info from all, thanks a lot it makes it a lot clearer. That converter is seriously expensive though, how come?
Might be worth looking at a consolised MVS in this instance. Especially as I only want Last Hope and Blazing Star to name a couple and the AES for Blazing Star alone is absolutely eye-watering.
i think the mvs converter is one off purchase particularly when you look at the price of aes games,metal slug aes goes for €1000,you could say its paying off itself.
Metal slug Aes- http://cgi.ebay.ie/neo-geo-aes-Metal-Slug-jap-near-mint-extremely-rare-/180709410630?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a131ec746

Could always pick up neo cd system*ok people stop laughing*,which fraction of price again but had atrocious loading depending on your model.

When you own a Neo Geo CD at least your Mom thinks you're cool....
And I should know!
Then again I did have a massive collection of c cough d cough cough r's for it..
But the loading times are so intrusive it is nigh unplayable.
My lovely MVS on the other hand....
MVS Motherboard
Jamma Adaptor
ATX PSU
Some assorted video and audio cables
A proper AES controller, plugs into MVS mb
A hacked ex-DC Arcade Stick, wired into the Jamma board
And one of those 111 in 1 MVS multicarts.
And Bobs your Uncle!!!0 -

I'm a bit confused as to what I should be looking for in an AES console.they?
I'll make it easy for you Just buy one ! They are a fantastic console, look the business, and are super nostalgic (imho), if like me you drooled over the back pages of C&VG back in the day, with the pictures of machine, and their eye watering prices for each game.
I think I paid €100 for the convertor from some mad website. Great purchase though, as all my MVS games play perfectly on it. I also bought a multicart MVS , however because you don't get player 1 and player 2 start buttons on the AES, you have to power on/off the console to bring you back to the game listing menu.If it was CD I'd go for the CDZ console but let's be honest, they're both poor systems. It's like a Porsche Boxster. People know you only bought one because you can't afford a 911.
Lol - having owned a Poxster, I can clearly state, that the Neo Geo CD itself is 100 times better and probably faster at loading games. What a boring car...........however stating its a poor mans 911, dear oh dear, poor car knowledge there boss :pac:0 -

Ah c'mon it so is! A friend of mine had one and it wasn't the best. Another lad had an S2000, the other a TVR Griffith. Out of the lot I'd have taken the S2000. Absolutely smashing car it is too, although the sheer sound of the TVR was utterly bowel-shattering. I got nothing from the Porker though I'm a fine one to talk when I was driving a Chrysler Sebring!
Back to the Neo Geo CD though, I have read a few discussions on replacing the CD drive in the CD and the CDZ although I'm unclear of how much progress was made, and, more importantly, if it's even possible to do at all anyway.
As for the console, well, I think I'll go the AES + Super MVS route. I just prefer the aesthetics of the AES. Though I think I'm going to take a long time choosing the right console with a good serial number and board version. Has to have the unibios and RGB mod done too!0 -

Indeed they are a work of beauty but $649 is a bit steep! If it around the $500 mark then maybe, but for that price it's probably worth looking at a cab.
Ah a cab, the one prize possession I'd love to have, yet I've no chance until next year of landing one.

obviously - but come back to me when you lived with one for a year. The Boxster does one thing very well, and thats handling. Hands down, it handles better than a 911, but the 911 will whip its ass with the power. The S2000, while a lovely drive, is one tail happy and high rev'ing lady ! and the TVR ? well lets hope it stays put together and nothing falls off :pac: But what am I saying here - I can't actually believe I'm defending the Boxster ?!!??!?As for the console, well, I think I'll go the AES + Super MVS route.

Do it ! and if going to Japan ? you will pick one up cheapo.
I would love one of those......If you're going AES & MVS, get the Super MVS Converter II. It has the highest level of compatability. Only game that doesn't work is Metal Slug X.
this sounds like the convertor I have, even came with a small screw driver for adjusting that scaler thing. I've had no issues with any shmups on it, although I haven't used it a long while since getting the MVS0 -

Cheers o1s1n. So the converter doesn't have issues with shooters? AES is the way forward then is it, even with the expense of the converter?
Well of all the shooters I've played I've never experienced any problems. It's only fighters really.
If you can justify spending at least 150 for a second hand MVS adapter then the AES is the prettiest solution.
An MVS arcade motherboard with a cheap supergun is also a great combination though. It's ugly, but you won't have any of those scaling issues with fighters if you ever feel like giving them a go. (The Last Blade games are a must).
Plus you'll also be able to drop it into an arcade machine when you buy one 0 -

Cheers for the sound advice. Looks like it'll work out for everything around €120-€180 (guestimate) to be fully underway minus a game.
Hmm, maybe looking at that price it's worth holding back and choosing a good cabinet seeing as that's a good chunk of a cabinet outlay. Sound info though, thanks a lot.
