Hi
I’ve just bought a neo geo MV1a and a copy of KOF98.when I switch it on The screen flickers green for a couple of seconds and then it’s straight into the game - apologies if this is a dumb question but shouldn’t I see the neo geo logo and jingle at some point during boot?
Thanks In advance.

If a uni-bios is installed it may be turned off.
 
Could also be a bootleg Neo motherboard - rare but they do exist (I have one) and they boot the same way as an original through the calendar check etc. but then straight into the game (or a crosshatch)
 
Thanks for the replies.

I just booted a few neo geo ROMs using FBalpha on a raspberry pi. Seems that KOF98 onwards bypass the neo geo splash screen boot straight into the game - so i assume that’s the same for the real cartridges?
Cheers.
