Hi, I'm a beginner with Neo Geo and as a beginner, I have dumb questions that I'm too shy to post on some Neo Geo board. Okay, here we go: Is there any modification needed for Neo Geo RGB output? Thanks a lot in advance.
The Neo Geo AES outputs RGB as standard, theres always Neo Geo specific RGB Scart cables on ebay for about £10. They are easy to build too, don't need the extra resistors that a sms/Megadrive RGB cable does.
Playgeneration is correct that Neo Geo RGB output is more standardized than from other consoles. All the same, the quality of the output is not wholly consistent. Here's a convenient link from GamesX that describes the pinout and the things to watch out for regarding RGB quality. http://www.gamesx.com/avpinouts/neoav.htm
Thanks for the info! My NG has the serial ~223.000, so I suppose according to the list, I am recommended to connect it rather via composite than RGB? Sounds a bit weird to me though, or what does "C" at the RGB side and "A" at the composite one mean? Is there such a huge difference between the RGB quality of different models or is it only a thing for Neo Geo fans who want to get the definite best out of their expensive games?
Buy an MVS and save yourself the trouble man. AES is overpriced garbage. System and games. You're better off with a arcade cabinet or supergun with an MVS board. Not just video quality, but cost.
As a MVS owner myself I'll second that but there are a lot of cheap good AES games too (AoF 1+2, SamSho 1, 2, 3 etc.). I changed from AES to MVS when I wanted to play Metal Slug and I realised that even 200 Euro for a conversion are way too much.
I for one much prefer AES for home use, MVS even consolized are just too scruffy for a collection, they belong hidden in a cab, specifically an official candy cab. For home, AES feels right, even if you have to use a MVS converter to build a collection. BTW if you need the absolute best RGB output on ANY revision, you just need to tap the video directly from the DAC before it's picks up noise and gets unideally amplified by the encoder, a no brainer! If the video output can't drive your monitor (I think it should), then the solution is equally simple, just decrease the resistors so it can.
I agree as I would prefer to have a AES system, but that costs alot of money. First the system will probably cost atleast 150$, then you'll need alot of money for AES games, or alot of money for a MVS -> AES device easily making your system setup alone cost you something like 400$. That's why I'm happy with my giant Supergun with a MVS inside. Sure it's not as fancy to show off as an AES console would be, but atleast it didn't cost me an arm and a leg.
Don't hate me. I traded an extra copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for my AES, complete with A/V mods, a custom ROM chip, and a lighted power button. I also have an MVS system for no reason I can figure out.
