Yeh I think Furtek and Jotego are involved?...the Mister FPGA is 100% accurate far as I know. but if this new system is FPGA (even though Plaion say it's not lol), then outside of the nice packaging/plastic you might as well grab a £200 mister with all games. But yeh, I totally understand people get hyped by the nostalgia and want the physical thing
This may be shocking, but not everyone thinks he is entitled to others' work or intellectual property for free.

Tried to get the ultimate edition, but they seem to be unable to ship to NY at the moment. Guess I don't have a choice but to wait. Hearing some states have a tax registration issue with this company.

Having the same issue trying to ship to PA.

Except they stated that the carts will work on original hardware.


I mean, everything so far is just their word, it all remains to be seen in action. But the reason so many are goobing out right now, is that what they've told us sounds amazing.

I’m an MVS collector, so until there’s a solution for that with this thing (inevitable I would think), I’ll watch from the sideline.

It’s kind of funny to me that I would snap up an $90 MVS cart of Over Top in a heartbeat, but with this I’m like “ew $90 for Over Top?”

Ironically in 30 years time Goobs will be arguing if a rerelease of Over Top ever happened as only 5 copies were ever sold

Not dropping money on this until I see pics of the main system /cart boards...as tbh I can see them very basic with a couple of chips making them feel light and cheap (flashcart like) bootleg copies. Even if this is a 1-1 recreation it's no different to having an FPGA (as it's still not original hardware regardless).
I get so raged when I go to McDonalds and they don’t sell me the exact same chips they did in the 90s.

The potatoes are a different variety, they come from a different farm, they are cooked in a different fryer in different oil, they are sprinkled with different salt.

I DON’T CARE THEY TASTE THE SAME THEY ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL CHIPS I HAD AS A CHILD

:mad::blow_top::very_ang:
You guys are both right. I totally respect wanting to hold off. And of course we can't expect it to be the same as the original.

I goobed for $250 just because I love Neo Geo enough to be willing to drop that much out of curiosity. There are many though who are already hoping for this to be a complete replacement for the original, and it would have to be pretty bad for most of them to be disappointed.

Converters will almost certainly work. Doesn't hurt that Furrtek's involved.

I was wondering when the retardation I was seeing on twitter would arrive here, took longer than I expected. What are you expecting buddy, a larger PCB and dummy chips to appease your autism? Of course it's going to be a small PCB inside the cartridges, of course there's going to be one main ASIC in a small-ish board inside the system...

No one is buying this expecting a 1:1 recreation of the AES on the inside coming out of a star trek replicator because we ain't pants on head retarded. The expectation is official SNK goods that work decently. That's it...

Who has the lowest order number ? I bought the ultimate #4192 (that was higher than I expected)

Also the Ultimate orders will get the first allocated units.

Ironically, when the recent Shantae release tried something similar to this by using new old stock chips, Twitter had a fit.
