USB GDrom Thread

anyone tried neogeo cd selfboot games on their device?
I currently have only one system to test (where i switched the gdrom drive with the usb gdrom adapter) and tried a cdi i found online of neo turf masters.
The game works but the audio is very broken, i cant remember those problems when i used those games before with a neo4all boot disk. Anyone else have xperience with this?

i also wanted to create more selfboot neo geo cd games but i cant figure out how to create those a cdi with working cdda tracks. Bootdreams only allows to add those if you select to burn the disc directly or create a alcohol120% image and those dont work on the unit.

 

holy sh. thats alot of stock. still not mention on price though

 

I paid Usd 187 a few days ago (but ordered in february) Someone here talked with Mnemo and he promise a reduction soon. But I don´t know if is a reduction from his actual price (USD 187) or a reduction from Stoneage price ( USD 259.99)... My guess is a new price around USD 200.

hopefully under $200. didnt he sell them for like $160 a couple months back?

@superg How do we go about giving you pre-orders for USB GDROM?

 

I have the DC version, which is terrific, and am interested in the USB Host Controller for the 3DO FZ-10

 

I am also trying to find a way to purchase one. Thanks for any info regarding this.

 

So how do I go about ordering one of these usb-gdrom's.

 

@superg can you provide any other info?

 

Hey guys,
I was quite busy lately (gscartsw), so here's the thing:
We talked with MNEMO and I'll help him to distribute his stuff in the US. He has already shipped me some units and it's gonna be here in a few weeks.
I've got a lot of PMs, please give me some time, first I have to figure out the optimal format (paypal / shipping / packaging / fees etc) and I'll post everything here.
I know there is StoneAgeGamer drama going on thus I ask you to be constructive. I know MNEMO for quite some time, I've ordered from him several times being in different countries, did a group buy here and ordered some stuff for myself - never had any problems. On the other hand I do respect StoneAgeGamer for their retro dedication and I've been buying from them a lot of times.
Just don't want to be involved in any drama. I'll post everything here at my earliest convenience.

 

thanks for the update. ill hopefully have the money ready to buy one in july when mnemo produces more like he mentions in his site

 

Is there a UK distributor?

 

also interested in uk/euro distributor

 

Happy he found a new guy. He contacted me about it and think he didn't like my terms of fixing existing issues of 2 clients out of 100+ boards purchased prior to sag.

Hope he can get those firmware issues resolved for many others who are stuck with cdi only and be a actual player in the retro market.

 

Just curious, what issues are you referring too? Some can't play gdi files?

 

Been backtracking a bit, but can't seem to find the answer.
For a WD 2TB My Passport, what's the best app and setting to format to FAT?

 

You want to format Fat32 and not Fat.

I used fat32format to format flash. Fat32 with 512 allocation size is recognized fine. Can get fat32format here:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm Direct download link for gui version is:http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/guiformat.exe

 

Also make sure the partition is set to primary, or you will get "No Fat32 File System Found."

 

so all version 5 are internal usb right? mnemo is not producing external usb versions anymore?
