This makes sense. The first 77 games work without issue, but the remaining 87 after than seem to have issues.

For me it's mostly the latter half of games, but the glitches are just messed up text and vertical lines in the sprites. Roughly 40% of games are affected.

I installed the mod and the picture is cleared up a bit, but the issues still remain unfortunately. I'll give the CPU swap a try before calling it a day.

Thanks for the clarification. The revision I have can be seen in the attached images, doesn't look like pin 30 and 31 are connected, I guess I'll bridge them?

Sounds easy enough. I'll do the mod and report back.

Would this fix be doable on a 161-in-1 Vortex modified V2 cart? If so that's preferable than swapping out the CPU

I've just ordered one of these as well as the Toshiba version. I'll install a socket on the PCB to swap between them and note any changes. Worst case scenario my AES gets fried.

Thanks, will note this. It seems like 50% or more of games on my Vortex cart display issues similar to what you describe. For example all the Metal slugs and Final Fights work fine, but Pulstar, Samurai Showdown, Windjammers show the initial Neo geo logo as glitchy, text garbled and some ingame...

I might also give this a try, I've got a Hitachi AES that shows visual glitches in Samurai Showdown 2 with a Vortex cart.

Fixed it, had to turn Wide Tolerance to on in the RT4K settings. Thanks, it was a sync issue.

I'm running it through a Retrotink 4K, previously a Retrotink 5X. I'll try messing with the settings and see if I can get it to sync better. I've also ordered a new RGB cable and see if that helps. It's just odd that it was working perfectly about a year ago,

Hi all, I've pulled my Neo Geo AES 3-6 out of storage and found that when connected via RGB scart the image appears squashed and pulled towards the centre of the screen as per the attached image. The console works fine in composite so I don't think it's any logic chip is causing it. It's like...

Backbit are also throwing their hat in the ring with affordable(ish) AES and MVS flashcarts in 2025, there's definitely demand under a certain price point and I think it'll be fully satisfied in the coming years.

Either way I'm keen. Can send through an invoice when ready.

I'd be keen. Can I use it in an AES with an adaptor?
