Me personally, I've been using MAME for as long as it's been out on many different platforms. I'm not saying I'm an elitist, but the idea of OG hardware is more appealing due to the authentic look, feel and performance.
I was one of those kids that grew up in an arcade as well, but I don't agree...
:) Yes - I've always been an early adopter, which is why I was so excited when your project was announced first.
As soon as possible I added myself to the interested list, and I was very keen to buy your cart.
Don't think (and I'm sure you're not worried) that my decision is due to any fear or...
As I tried to indicate - I wish no-one any ill feelings.
I think Darksoft's cart will be great, and a huge success. It's just that I can't wait...
I'm sure this forum is grown up enough to not arbitrarily ban me (I was only here to express my interest in the DS cart anyway). But if that does...
I crumbled and purchased a NeoSD. As promising as this Darksoft cartridge is, there were a few factors that led me to my decision:
1) The wait. I've struggled with being patient knowing there was an alternative already on the market, and as Darksoft's cart isn't even with Beta testers yet, the...
I've read with keen interest about overclocking the NeoGeo to help with slowdown. One of the videos I've seen shows that Metal Slug 2 can be improved but implies there is still some slowdown that can't be reduced with a different clock crystal because of the speed of memory used in the...
Nope - I'm a Brit in the Netherlands. My company's IP is routed through Austria for some bizarre reason - hence why credit card companies get confused and block the transaction more often than not. Paypal really don't seem to care which is great!
I've ordered stuff from Stone Age Gamer in the...
Is there some chance for there being less slowdown due to more modern chips being used (presumably with faster transfer speeds)?
I recall there being an overclocking video that I saw saying that MS2 used slow chips so overclocking the NeoGeo would only go so far towards improving the game.
@Darksoft This probably sounds like wishful thinking, but is the LCD screen going to be capable of displaying graphics? I'm thinking that a PNG of the cover like the MVS marquees that show you which games you are selecting would be sooooo sexy... (Plain text for the file name is also good! :) )
At least if you start a queue then we can find our way onto a list and know our position (even if it's position 2450 or so).
This worked well for SainT over at AtariAge for his Lynx SD card.
Check out this thread to see how it worked...
1 AES cart for me please!
I don't mind what method you come up with for pre-orders as long as it's fair. I've missed out many times on Saturn Rhea and PSIO because I wasn't around that nano second that they were available and then they all sold out a nano second later.
I'm happy to at least put...
