@@_derSammler Neo Geo stuff were always expensive unfortunately. Just an MVS to AES converter would sell for well over $200+, so they priced this accordingly.
@@BasementBrothers Maybe you would prefer the synopsis of Strikers 1945 Plus instead? It is winter of 1945 and the Strikers have successfully eliminated C.A.N.Y.'s forces.

Meanwhile, data on C.A.N.Y.'s new weapons, tightly sealed by the US Department of Defense was leaked by a new organization, codenamed "F.G.R.", threatening to drag the world into the chaos of war once again with it.

It's one of the fake games they made up in Wayne's World. In the Noah's Arcade commercial in the begging, he rattles off a handful of games they have at the arcade, and one is called "Ninja Commando."
I'm one of those that likes playing on real hardware but don't necessarily care about having the actual cartridges. Considering you can spend $500 for a single MVS cart, the price isn't that bad if you are committed to the system.
Samurai Spirits RPG is available in French. I know two attempts to translate it into English and one into Spanish that went beyond 50% completion, but apparently it's really hard to edit because the way the text is encrypted in the game, and the teams just couldn't keep throwing hours into it. If the game was truly gem it would pay off, but beyond those nice graphics and sound, the game is no Chrono Trigger. The plot doesn't bring anything new to your typical mid 90s JRPG, and the game is quite difficult and grindy. At least the combat system is original so, it well deserves a gameplay for hardcore fans of both JRPGs and Samurai Shodown.

Gettin’ some Bob Ross vibes at the end of the video. And was that Professor Layton music? I’ve had problems with garbled graphics. Some say it could be power supply related. I hope an update fixes it as I don’t know what alternate PSU to use on an Omega. Hope to see you do more NG videos. Maybe a video dedicated to non-fighting games like the shooter or puzzle genres.
I had issues with garbled graphics on SD Pro AES and Terraonion did provide a firmware update but it still happens from time to time. I find a reset tends to fix the problem though.
@@PastoKage Just what I was gonna type in, remember the good old days when the game boxes had info on the back, unlike now when they seem to have like 3 screen shots if your lucky
The weird limitations on the Neo Geo PCM channels weren't specifically decided by SNK btw they're just how the Yamaha 2610 sound chip was designed. It was a "kitchen sink" sound chip that has PCM, 4 operator FM and PSG channels all in one device.
The AES console doesn't even cost that much and is much neater. At first I didn't think it was worth it but I got sick of how crap the 161 in 1 carts are and you get a nice shell and case so it looks like the type of thing you would buy in a shop. I like to pretend I'm a rich person from 1992 by playing this. I have always use the ram to load the games, I don't see much point in having flash memory but some people on the neogeo forums insisted that it was the most important thing ever to be able to switch games like in the arcade. I'm currently playing panic bomber, I don't want to rush through all the games so I'm playing the early ones first. Neo geo doesn't have that many games but its not like Genesis which has 20 really crappy NFL games, every game is something that you would want to play. And emulation is pretty good until you get to a game that doesn't work right and those pandora boxes have bad input lag.
it strikes me as the kind of product that would work perfectly in a home made Arcade Cab as a "Set and Forget" kind of product so in all honesty the €550/ $600 price tag kinda makes sense compared to the alternative,, itl still be the most expensive part of your cab but its more than worth it
I will never own this , because I am poor and my wife would never let me have it . But when it comes to GameSack , I gotta watch them all . Joe's videos bring me up when I am down .
Why the hell does it cost so much dollar? Never been a big fan of neo geo, games always seem average at best and apart from a few there is nothing to write home about. (IMO)
I like emulators for the ease of use, for being an inexpensive way to play the old systems and for having the best possible image connection available without any problems. But if I could, I would have all the systems and their respective flash cartridges. But I am happy to have a strong PC connected to my CRT monitor just for this function, except for the Nintendo 64 that until today does not play all games perfectly, so I have the console with RGB just for this.
Someone did translate SSRPG. They just didn't share it with anyone before they deleted all their work. You can still watch a video of the translation on TH-cam (channel is MoriyaMug). There are other projects to translate the game, but have never been completed.
RetroPi is definitely not the bee's knees. At best it comes in third place not considering original hardware. MiSTer FPGA is first place. Second place would be a PC with a GPU and RetroArch.
Holy shit Joe. I'm smashing those ad clicks for you, hopefully AF fucking K arena clicks will recoup some of the satanic $666 outlay for you. Keep up the good work legend!
Why doesn't somebody like Analogue release a dedicated Neo Geo FPGA console??? I mean it's already supported in Mister, so it must be possible. I would much rather have a hardware emulated Neo Geo system than the solutions out there that use software emulation.
Exceptionally expensive, needlessly tricky to use with lack of support for folders, limited functionality. I know that emulation vs real hardware is a pointless argument because it misses the point but in this case it's hard to find any benefit to not emulating instead. The value is so poor.

I bought one and am really excited to play it in my cab once it's up and running again. The price is really steep, but with the cost of MVS carts, you'd be spending up to 6 figures to purchase every game you can play on this device. I really wish someone would just make a good version of the 161-1 cart. All the games, right there, instant loading, no boots or bugs, no weird game omissions.
When you first mentioned the price, I actually didn't think it was expensive, for me it is, but for people who has the console, it's the best way to have its whole collection.
Holy cow that is some price tag. But the accessibility is sweet. Plus excellent quality picture, and audio. Uh why did they make the plugins so close to where you have to insert the cartridge?! SNK was right "the future is now"
I got the Neo AES pro and use a converter to plug into my MVS Cabinets. Now they have this, I thought about it for my MVS and it doesn’t make sense to do it Again for me. Great product though. Is it worth $666? As a niche type of product, Just factor in the idea that MVS carts are at least $100 and up. And also see the $100 161-in-1 MVS carts that has all the bad roms. Then technically... yeah it is worth this price.
I guess it's still the cheapest way to have a complete (yet illegal) neogeo library on real hardware. Buy just a console and the card and dumps the roms and you have an authentic experience for about a grand or something total. Which is less than the price of some single games LOL.
Knowing the updated flashcart industry, there will definitely be a reversion of this everdrive by a different company, for much cheaper, and will have the same if not better capabilities in the not so distant future. They might be waiting for all the bugs to be cleared out and mimic the strategy they did with the genesis flashcart. I'll be patient and hold my wallet for a while.
I was tempted to grab one to upgrade the Neo SD MVS I already have for my Omega, but when I realized that the only real advantage was faster flashing, I gave it a hard pass. Neo•Geo CD games/hardware is still relatively cheap, so I was able to get the handful of exclusive titles on it, & just run them side-by-side. I’m just waiting on a company to introduce a viable consolizer option for the Hyper Neo•Geo 64-shit would be LIT.
Hey @Game Sack that footage you showed of "Last Resort" when you were talking about the CD audio issues not only had the volume increase you mentioned however it also was sped up and was at a higher pitch than the original just FYI. Great video as always. I am obsessed with anything Neo Geo. Have a great one!
I have the non-pro version and I’m in love. Aside, the loading times, it is worth the price. Playing the full rom set on real hardware is insane. I also use the brook converter to play with a ps3 controller. I prefer the controller for some games.
I love playing on real hardware (or at least now FPGA stuff) so I love flash carts...but my god is that expensive, even for a flash cart. But to be fair Neo Geo is a bit more complex then your standard console cart.
Do anyone know whats the Rally games name is in the background I try to find it, played it in an Arcade in Italy over 20 years ago and i want it^^. Pls Help.
Why by this when you can just by the Neo Geo AES or MVS multi game in one cartridge for 120 bucks? And you don't have to be an I.T Tech genius to learn how to download the games you just plug in and play. This makes no since your paying 4 times the amount of money to play games on your Neo Geo and you have to put in the tech knowledge to download the games
I love the "I have no idea" hahah :D GG man when it's related to neogeo we become freakin crazy :s thanks for the review but still it's expensive compared to Darksoft multigames
The skit of dramatic reading from backcases needs to return ASAP. Next choice? Mega Man NTSC NES. Without saying much, the front cover isn’t the only hilarious thing about that box...
Anything Neo Geo AES related has always been expensive geez. This is a cool flash cart, but something I will never own. I am fine with my Neo geo mini and Neo geo cd.
It's like I stated in a previous Game Sack episode not everyone has money stacked to the sky to purchase the actual physical copies of games epsecially Neo Geo games so this makes economical sense.
I have the original NeoSD AES. If I didn't already own that I'd spring for the Pro, but upgrading doesn't seem worth the cost. If you're a little cracked and need to play all the Neo Geo games on real hardware, yeah, this is how you're going to want to do it. If you're flat out insane, you could also collect the original cartridges. The device has its quirks for sure. I've never run into the audio issue but there have been minor annoyances here and there. I like it.
I just purchased the SDPro for my MVS, there are still units to be sold. Thanks for your review, can't wait for it to get here. I was looking into purchasing a fav game cart and just couldn't bring myself to paying a thousand $ for a single game.. This is expensive but a lot less than just a few original games.
I tried Ghost Pilots on the PS4 via the Hamster Neo Geo re-releases, it didn't grab me for some reason. However there are do many games uploaded, I wonder if they're running out of Neo Geo games to add to the service?
I wanted to buy a NeoSD Pro but it's really cost prohibitive. I don't think they'll come down in price so I'll have to either wait to see if Darksoft releases another one with better features and a more competitive price than the TerraOnion one.
@@gamingblowsofficial nope. It's not. You're just the kind who likes to tee off on his wallet by buying something at a ridiclulous price that you can otherwise enjoy for free.
ultra expensive, out of stock all the time, NO SAV, and my god the loading time !!... just grab a VORTEX 161in1 and forget this garbage !! for the love of god
some bootlegs MVS from China, one of these cartdriges and all those compilers from my PC and... we have lift off ! Do you have a source for Cloned MVS from China ? (SNK MVS/AES it's considered abandoned, so it's not illegal to homebrew and clone)
@5:20 Samsho Perfect.neo file is out on the internet. Works great even on MiSTer @7:31 there was apparently this one guy who fully translated the game and refused to release it, and then something about a hard drive failure. @9:25 this happens on one of my Neo Geo AES consoles using the AES pro. Apparently its a sign of a failure (hopefully not) and also issues with the extra electrical power to power the MVS + the FPGA cart. I even tried testing from the jukebox feature and, no sound on certain memory banks. Plugging the cart to another AES, no problems. AES and MVS are NOT meant to last long unfortunately
So I have a supergun and MV1FZ. Compared with the 161 in 1, how does it stack up? Is the 161 in 1 on original hardware with Unibios 4.0 gonna get me a very similar experience, short of the CD game availability?
If/when someone produces a Neo Geo flash cart in the $300 dollar range, then I'll bite. There is no way in hell I'm gonna pay $600+ for a flash cart. Not when there are perfectly good 161 in one carts for the Neo Geo for next to nothing. Yeah yeah, they have issues, but you can fix them with some minor modifications.
I understand why it works the way it does, but the loading to Flash and RAM does seem slightly annoying. If I got one though the only games I'd probably end up using it for are KoF 02 and 03 and the last two Metal Slugs. I've gotten basically everything else I actually care about on MVS already over the years, so it's basically perfect for me outside of the price tag.
Question. I have a 4 Slot Neo Geo MVS in my Big Red Cabinet. If I swapped it out with a single slot MVS and used this NeoSD Pro and put 4 games into the flash slots, can I still use the Switch Game button to switch between the 4 games during the attract mode? Or do I have to use the NeoSD Menu display to now switch between the 4 slots?
I was lucky enough to get the AES Pro version when it first launched. People complain about the price but original Neo Geo carts especially some of the rare titles can go for over $600 alone, so in the end its more than worth it. Terraonion themselves have said that these are too expensive of a product to be sitting around so who knows if they are discontinued or not? You may have a collectors item Joe.
It's one of those things I think the cost to produce is going to WAY below it's price but it's a price you can charge when the games them self's can be more then this 1 flash cart
I really feel like they'd sell a lot more of these if they could produce a basic version that sells for no more than $300. At that price I would buy one, but for $400 or more it's just too rich for my blood. I have all original Neo Geo AVS hardware as well as a Supergun to play it on a TV, but it's little more than a curiosity for me, not something I'm going to invest big $ into.
I just started watching the channel and after watching a couple of videos I started to wonder about one thing: Are there ANY games at all or specific genres at which the channel author is actually good at? Multiple times in videos, especially the ones reviewing consoles, he quite often says he "sucks" at this and sucks at that. This game is not for him because of "X" and that one is not for him either because he does not get it etc. I'm by no means hate here or anything, I'm simply curious why even bother play video games when you don't enjoy most of them it seems xD?
you can buy 44 copies of GreenDog with that much $$$. No really though, if you have an MVS or AES, this is totally worth it. the price of 1 or 2 less popular games, you can have all the games. great video.

I'd buy one of these if I didn't already spend my $666 on a Devil's Crush HuCard signed by Satan
I spent about half that on my AES alone. The Devil sure does want that other half of my soul...

It's really a shame that they made it that expensive only because the Neo Geo stuff is expensive as well. That's intended and something you can also note with other systems like the Amiga. If the base stuff is expensive, add-ons are made very expensive as well. This should be way under 200 bucks - but it's apparently aimed at elite people with big pockets. They missed the opportunity to open Neo Geo games to a wider audience with that premium price.

You're the best one at these reviews, man... truly deserving the PRO
I'm totally getting the amateur version so I can play all the non pro versions of the games!
Ah yeah, Legend of Succes Joe, the best beat'n up ever made.
"For illegal use only!" So don't ever use this for games you legally own, that would be illegal!
That’s way too funny for game sack, considering they never learned inbetween‘s!
Considering that game carts cost so much, looks like a good alternative!
Thanks Sack for doing this.
13:44 I wasn't looking at the video, I heard the sound. Almost thought you were going to do a video about professor layton.
I really like short episodes! 👏👏👏
I have the non-pro version and I’m in love. Aside, the loading times, it is worth the price. Playing the full rom set on real hardware is insane. I also use the brook converter to play with a ps3 controller. I prefer the controller for some games.
ASMR Joe was a fetish I didn’t know I needed but now I can’t live without
The headphone jack is there, but from what I understand, support for the link cable feature has not been implemented.
It's too expensive for me unfortunately. Looks like it's pretty slick though. Very desirable.
I love playing on real hardware (or at least now FPGA stuff) so I love flash carts...but my god is that expensive, even for a flash cart. But to be fair Neo Geo is a bit more complex then your standard console cart.
Do anyone know whats the Rally games name is in the background I try to find it, played it in an Arcade in Italy over 20 years ago and i want it^^. Pls Help.

Why by this when you can just by the Neo Geo AES or MVS multi game in one cartridge for 120 bucks? And you don't have to be an I.T Tech genius to learn how to download the games you just plug in and play. This makes no since your paying 4 times the amount of money to play games on your Neo Geo and you have to put in the tech knowledge to download the games
I love the "I have no idea" hahah :D GG man when it's related to neogeo we become freakin crazy :s thanks for the review but still it's expensive compared to Darksoft multigames
How do I make the hot caca stop 🛑. Please help
The skit of dramatic reading from backcases needs to return ASAP.
Next choice? Mega Man NTSC NES. Without saying much, the front cover isn’t the only hilarious thing about that box...
Anything Neo Geo AES related has always been expensive geez. This is a cool flash cart, but something I will never own. I am fine with my Neo geo mini and Neo geo cd.
It's like I stated in a previous Game Sack episode not everyone has money stacked to the sky to purchase the actual physical copies of games epsecially Neo Geo games so this makes economical sense.
I have the original NeoSD AES. If I didn't already own that I'd spring for the Pro, but upgrading doesn't seem worth the cost.
If you're a little cracked and need to play all the Neo Geo games on real hardware, yeah, this is how you're going to want to do it. If you're flat out insane, you could also collect the original cartridges.
The device has its quirks for sure. I've never run into the audio issue but there have been minor annoyances here and there. I like it.
I mean, if you have the original hardware and want to try every game available for the console this seems like a no-brainer.
I just purchased the SDPro for my MVS, there are still units to be sold. Thanks for your review, can't wait for it to get here. I was looking into purchasing a fav game cart and just couldn't bring myself to paying a thousand $ for a single game.. This is expensive but a lot less than just a few original games.
I tried Ghost Pilots on the PS4 via the Hamster Neo Geo re-releases, it didn't grab me for some reason. However there are do many games uploaded, I wonder if they're running out of Neo Geo games to add to the service?
I wanted to buy a NeoSD Pro but it's really cost prohibitive. I don't think they'll come down in price so I'll have to either wait to see if Darksoft releases another one with better features and a more competitive price than the TerraOnion one.
I'm perfectly fine with my Neo Geo emulator. All I need is my lovely Neo Geo CD controller and my USB controller adapter and I'm ready to go. 👊
Sounds deeply lame.
@@gamingblowsofficial maybe. But if the guy is happy, Give him a break. It would be lame if it affected you in some way.
@@gamingblowsofficial nope. It's not. You're just the kind who likes to tee off on his wallet by buying something at a ridiclulous price that you can otherwise enjoy for free.
I don’t like to... tee off...on my wallet.
@@gamingblowsofficial whatever, you get my point
Cool vid Joe, thanks. Actually I am planning to get one, so this was rather informative. No mention of the alternative cart from Darksoft though?
Nice bit of kit. My Mode arrives this week I should pick this up too
Yes
ultra expensive, out of stock all the time, NO SAV, and my god the loading time !!... just grab a VORTEX 161in1 and forget this garbage !! for the love of god
I have the original NeoSD for my AES. Glad to hear I am not missing out that much on the pro version
It does as advertised if you want to play on original HW and not go broke. I would never buy it but I enjoyed your video covering it.
I know the 161-in-1 cart isn't very good, but for one tenth of the price of the NeoSD Pro it will have to do.
Joe - are you sure the audio problems you had weren't because you used bin/cue files? You are supposed to use img/ccd/sub files?
They better fucking make more
some bootlegs MVS from China, one of these cartdriges and all those compilers from my PC and... we have lift off !
Do you have a source for Cloned MVS from China ?
(SNK MVS/AES it's considered abandoned, so it's not illegal to homebrew and clone)
@5:20 Samsho Perfect.neo file is out on the internet. Works great even on MiSTer
@7:31 there was apparently this one guy who fully translated the game and refused to release it, and then something about a hard drive failure.
@9:25 this happens on one of my Neo Geo AES consoles using the AES pro. Apparently its a sign of a failure (hopefully not) and also issues with the extra electrical power to power the MVS + the FPGA cart. I even tried testing from the jukebox feature and, no sound on certain memory banks. Plugging the cart to another AES, no problems. AES and MVS are NOT meant to last long unfortunately
“I paid $666 for this”.
How many Creepypastas begin like this?
So I have a supergun and MV1FZ. Compared with the 161 in 1, how does it stack up? Is the 161 in 1 on original hardware with Unibios 4.0 gonna get me a very similar experience, short of the CD game availability?
If/when someone produces a Neo Geo flash cart in the $300 dollar range, then I'll bite. There is no way in hell I'm gonna pay $600+ for a flash cart. Not when there are perfectly good 161 in one carts for the Neo Geo for next to nothing. Yeah yeah, they have issues, but you can fix them with some minor modifications.
I understand why it works the way it does, but the loading to Flash and RAM does seem slightly annoying. If I got one though the only games I'd probably end up using it for are KoF 02 and 03 and the last two Metal Slugs. I've gotten basically everything else I actually care about on MVS already over the years, so it's basically perfect for me outside of the price tag.
Question. I have a 4 Slot Neo Geo MVS in my Big Red Cabinet. If I swapped it out with a single slot MVS and used this NeoSD Pro and put 4 games into the flash slots, can I still use the Switch Game button to switch between the 4 games during the attract mode? Or do I have to use the NeoSD Menu display to now switch between the 4 slots?
I was lucky enough to get the AES Pro version when it first launched. People complain about the price but original Neo Geo carts especially some of the rare titles can go for over $600 alone, so in the end its more than worth it. Terraonion themselves have said that these are too expensive of a product to be sitting around so who knows if they are discontinued or not? You may have a collectors item Joe.
It's one of those things I think the cost to produce is going to WAY below it's price but it's a price you can charge when the games them self's can be more then this 1 flash cart
I really feel like they'd sell a lot more of these if they could produce a basic version that sells for no more than $300. At that price I would buy one, but for $400 or more it's just too rich for my blood. I have all original Neo Geo AVS hardware as well as a Supergun to play it on a TV, but it's little more than a curiosity for me, not something I'm going to invest big $ into.
I bought it because i could :)
I just started watching the channel and after watching a couple of videos I started to wonder about one thing: Are there ANY games at all or specific genres at which the channel author is actually good at?
Multiple times in videos, especially the ones reviewing consoles, he quite often says he "sucks" at this and sucks at that. This game is not for him because of "X" and that one is not for him either because he does not get it etc.
I'm by no means hate here or anything, I'm simply curious why even bother play video games when you don't enjoy most of them it seems xD?
you can buy 44 copies of GreenDog with that much $$$. No really though, if you have an MVS or AES, this is totally worth it. the price of 1 or 2 less popular games, you can have all the games. great video.
