A developer who goes under the screen name Coin feeder on the arcade-projects forums has recently revealed that he is developing a new “tate” style shmup game for the Neo Geo MVS. I had the opportunity to video chat with him, and during our conversation he demonstrated a very early version of this new game running […]
Magic Trashman has written a tutorial on how to padhack a Neo Geo Mini controller to DB15 (arcade/Neo Geo direct connection) and add a clicky microswitch d-pad to it. It’s a relatively complex mod involving custom 3D prints, but MT has been offering pre-modified controllers for sale through Twitter. I bought one of these from […]
Darksoft has just released both a menu and firmware update for his MultiAES Neo Geo ROM cart. The posted changes are as follows: * Added support for monitor test tool. The tool must be placed in the folder “montest” * Loading DDR of games and menu only when we exit menu, so we avoid loading […]
TR Fight Stick is creating a metal shell for the Neo Geo MVS motherboard, For those who use the MVS as a home console. I recently covered how cheap and plentiful MVS still are, and how easy they are to treat like an AES console. I have previously covered TR Fight Stick’s other heavy metal […]

The Behar Bros have just sent us pictures of an upcoming Neo Geo prototype they’re working on with 480p VGA output! This prototype uses an FPGA to linedouble the original signal directly from the DAC without a framebuffer; This will keep the original refresh rate of 59.185hz to prevent screen tearing/stutter and also make it a […]
I just added a guide on how to do a “basic” RGB bypass on a Neo Geo AES console. It’s been tested on two AES 3-6’s and should work on other revisions as well: https://www.retrorgb.com/aes-rgb-bypass.html While there are similar guides all over the internet, I wanted this to demonstrate a fully-reversible #nocutmod that focuses on quality.
