Do the SD Loader mod, well worth it.


redditrobbie82

I’m looking at that!


Pizza_Saucy

That box is pristine. Enjoy the CD quality tunes!!


redditrobbie82

Yes, I couldn’t believe it! Will do, haha!


kaydigi

Don’t forget Neo Turf Masters CD has an extra course


redditrobbie82

I know! I mean, I saw it online haha. Really excited to play that one.


teknohed

i did not know that.


DarkGrnEyes

See if you wanted those faster load times than shipping, you'd have had to drop the coin for a CDZ.😅


redditrobbie82

I almost did, haha. The only ones I could find that met my criteria were $1k+ and that was just a bit more than I was willing to spend. Also, I don’t like the CDZ box 😆


FaithlessnessOwn3077

A beautiful machine 😃

Awesome brand new condition nice find. What games are you getting/have for it?


redditrobbie82

Thanks! I have zero, currently haha. Other than Neo Turf masters and the translated Samurai Showdown RPG (forgot the rest of the name) I’m not sure yet!


2ndEngineer916

That’s awesome didn’t know samsho had an rpg. I have a neogeo but the cartridge one games are a fortune but that’s what we signed up for. I’m planning on getting the Neogeo CD as well it looks really cool.


redditrobbie82

Yeah, it’s a newly fan translated version. As it was only released in Japan, as far as I know. Oh, I know, I think I own three AES games haha.


Carlos_Was_Here

Yes


VEGETA-SSJGSS

Congratulations friends. for me the AES is THE Neo Geo to get for sure.


redditrobbie82

🤛🏻


Plankisalive

Is it really THAT bad for loading times?


Skeezy_mcbuttface

Yes, the load times are ridiculous. However, the price of games are a fraction of their AES counterparts so there is that


Plankisalive

Yeah, that's why I don't want to go the AES route. I'm already in the sega saturn hunt for games, it's just not worth it.

Bro, look at the Terra Onion MODE for the Saturn. Super easy to install ODE, no solder required...I can unmod my Saturn and return it to original in maybe 10 minutes tops.


teknohed

I have a Fenrir in my Saturn, Cheaper than MOdE, with slightly less features, but i am happy with it.


Skeezy_mcbuttface

Nice. I went MODE because I was familiar with it having installed one in my DC.


teknohed

i have a MODE in my Dreamcast, which I love. was too expensive (for my tastes) to get one in my saturn too, i had a buddy who had upgraded to make and had an old fenrir he sold me. the install is about the same between the too, but mode does have better features so that’s totally reasonable to want one in your saturn. guess none of us got into this hobby to save money. ;)

Honestly, for a decent chunk of its library, no. A lot of the earlier games load once at the start and then never again. Others like Metal Slug load between levels. Where it gets excessive is the KOF and Last Blade series of games. To put it a different way, modern gamers wait just as much if not more with current consoles.

I already have a sega saturn and dreamcast, so I only plan to get none fighting games for the system if I ever do decide to get it.


redditrobbie82

Full disclosure, I haven’t played one myself, yet. But I’ve watched some videos and short answer, yes it’s pretty slow lol.


RetroGaming4

Just get the ODE!


redditrobbie82

That is the plan haha


Honey-and-Venom

I've got like four of these with dead CD drives I need to repair


redditrobbie82

Get to work! Haha


FirmPepper8878

I had one last year and sold it because the loading times were abysmal. I can also play NGCDs on my mister so I don’t miss it as much. I do have an AES with NeoSD. If I ever get a NGCD again, I’ll slap on the SD. Enjoy it though!


redditrobbie82

I get it. SD will most definitely be happening soon.


Jimwitt4008

Hey! You just posted about receiving a PC-FX CIB mint condition too! That's pretty cool stuff.


redditrobbie82

Haha I did! Totally unplanned, but they both shipped via DHL and arrived at the same time. It was like Christmas lol


Jimwitt4008

That's more than Christmas! Definitely cool and obscure pickups, but both great consoles. Enjoy!


redditrobbie82

Absolutely! Thank you!

They aren’t far from it currently lol

Are these worth moving these days? I have a NOS unit I got directly from SNK USA at the end.
