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.
I was just curious as to how they have manufactured it internally. They shouldn't call it a 1-1 re creation mind when it's clearly going to be another Analogue type FPGA product. Same but different lol

Yeah, this console is going to be super light. A tiny PCB in the middle with a bunch of empty plastic. Watch the goobs complain.

No. ASIC's based on the FPGA architecture. But I won't be surprised if there are more than a few cost-cutting shortcuts.

I'm in this to get essentially an alibaba neo geo that's got some semblance of official licensing on it, anyone expecting 1990 grade hardware will be disappointed. Their use of "1:1" marketing gimmicks is aesthetic only (and probably valid from 10 feet away). But it beats a $250 3D printed shell with an additional $200 MV-1C installed (well maybe...)

I think they did the right thing with the system. For people like us on this forum, who already have other ways to play Neo Geo on some kind of legit hardware (AES, MVS, CD), this is a cool thing to have and a good way to get "official" carts of extremely hard to get games that are probably better than more expensive bootlegs. To the casuals it's close enough to the real thing that they won't notice or care. They had to hit this price point or collectors like us wouldn't bother and casuals would balk and not buy it. They pretty much nailed the sweet spot.

If HDMI output is decent and the system doesn't have any sort of gross incompatibilities I predict people are just going to default to the AES+ naturally out of sheer convenience. You already need a CRT or good upscaler minimum to enjoy AES/MVS these days, and even that is a pain to deal with sometimes unless you have a dedicated goobroom(tm) with everything setup.

btw hardcore collector != hardcore gamer, its easier to find people showing off their Slug AES cartridges online than to find people showing off Slug 1ccs out of that same hardware. Second group actually cares about accuracy :)

I'll prob end up picking one up.down the line with a few games to try it out. The mister FPGA has replaced retro collecting for me in recent years but still always tempted to buy something like this

They are selling from a Shopify store. As someone who runs a Shopify based website I can tell you that order numbers bear little relation to the quantity of products sold. The first person to pre order didn’t get order no 1. Also order numbers are based on the whole store inventory not individual items so you can’t assume anything based on what your order number was.

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.
It's like some of you can finally.. kinda be the same as the rest of us have been for the last 30yrs

Or at least emulate our greatness

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
Where tf do you get this info from? Just making shit up?
Also; where is KidPanda, mr australia and where tf is my 20+ year badge. You fucks!

Ok but can you try formulating full sentences on your videos and being far less camp

Please don't stack your carts horizontally too - damn noob

I was building a neo geo castle of nobility. Also that’s how it fit in the frame
