This Text is dedicated to all NeoGeo Fans and those who want to get into total fun with the NeoGeo and its Copier. I'm a proud owner of the NeoGeo Copier and I want to tell you how it works which games are running and what that all costs for you to purchase, it's not that cheap, friends! But a real compute-o-maniacs doesn't look on the money! Okay first you need an NeoGeo Main Unit. For complete fun you also need the Memory Card and two joypads because most of the games can be played simultaniosly by two players which is one of the best features on the NeoGeo. You can choose between the USA Console and the Japanese one. The diffrences are as follows: If a Cartridge is inserted or a game loaded into the copier all text will be English on USA Cosnole's and Japanese on the JAP Console. Both languages are stored in the same game image no diffrent cartridges are necessary. BUT: Some games are much more violent and got more special blood effects on the JAP Console like Samurai Showdown. If you play that game on an USA Console there is simply no blood, but you can read the texts and vice versa. So it's your decision which NeoGeo Version you prefer. My opinion is ''who wants to know about the texts in an action game, i want blood!'', hehe! So i prefere the JAP NeoGeo and of course i have one. The Memory Card is very usefull for storing game positions into it. Okay, next to that which you are all waiting for: The Copier. Actually it's the MGD2 (MultiGameDoctor II) from Makko Toys (Bung) from Hong Kong. You have two parts. First there is the Disk Drive wich needs an seperate power supply (9V/1A). The Drive can read 1.44MB and 1.6MB IBM PC formatted Disks. On the top of the drive there is a little dot-matrix display telling you what the MGD2 is doing right now. Also there are three buttons called SELECT, + and - . And a power switch is also located on the the behind top of the Drive. The whole size of that thing is a little bit bigger than a normal PC Drive because of the additional electronics inside, I think. The Second part is the NEOCARD which will be plugged into the NeoGeo Slot in same way like an original Cartridge. Indeed it looks very similar to an original cartridge but it is a bit bigger. On the front-top side and on the behind-top side there are 5 Slots for DRAM Cards. I have four 32Mbit and one 8Mbit Card plugged in giving the system a total amount of 136Mbit of storage space (17 MegaByte!). This NeoCard also need a seperate power supply (10V/1.5A). Between the Disk Drive and the NeoCard is a cable plugged connecting both units. Okay that's it for the Hardware so far. Unfortunately there is no possibility to 'send' the games via the parallel port of an computer so we do have to make game-disks and load them into the NeoCard. If you have an PC, SEGA or SNES with Copier you can format disks up to 1.6MB to fit 12Mbit (3 parts) of an single game on it. Let's look into a filelist of an game (This is Last Resort for example): N046001B.1FC 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001B.1F8 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.1FC 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001B.638 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.1F8 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.63C 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.638 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001B.538 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.53C 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.538 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.4F8 131072 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.378 131072 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 N046001A.038 524288 ----rwed 11-Jul-91 22:01:34 This is Last Resort extracted and LISTed with an Amiga. As you can see this game got 13 parts; 11 with 4Mbit and 2 1Mbit in size. That is together 46Mbit the whole game. So this game fits on four 1.6MB formatted Disks, which is really not to many for that fabulous shooter. Loading time approx 5 mins. You can copy the files in ANY order to the disks there is no special numbering you have to keep an eye on it. The filenames including all information to load the single parts into the correct memory location, so you dont have to number your disks through! The Filenames look a bit wierd but can be easily explained: .--- Information WHERE to load. (Memory Location) __|_ / \ N046001B.1FC 524288 - Size in bytes (4Mbit) |\_/\/ | | `------- I don't know what this is, hmmm.... | `---------- This is the complete Game Size in Megabits ------+------ This gives the information 'N'eoGeo Game File I don't have any further informations about the handling of NeoGeo Game Files. If you have some more info please feel free to give your knowledge to the public! How to load a Game? First switch on the NeoCard then the MGD2 Disk Drive. Now insert the Bootdisk, press select. After that you can load your game. The order of the disk is completely irrelevant make sure each disk was one time loaded that's all. After loading the last Disk switch on the NeoGeo Main Unit and WHOOOSH fun can start right here and right now! We go for the prices: NeoGeo with 2 Joypads and Memory Card are approx $350. The BackUp Unit (without Cardridge-to-Disk save adaptor, means you cant save yourself cartridges to disk, i dont have it as well) is approx $1100 with 136Mbit and the MGD2. Plus Powersupply Transformers and cables (powercables, RGB Cables, Stereo Sound Cables) $50. Plus the approx 200 Disks you need for the Game Files and the Games itselfs $250 = $1750 !! Yeah, thats the price you have to pay for complete fun, but its worth. Okay now for the known bugs (argh, yes there are some): In nearly all games you have some kind of graphical error concerning the sprite DMA. That means on the left position of most objects you have a little black bar like a shadow. It appears, so as i know, an all copiers on all NeoGeo Units so it's stated as 'normal'. Also it can happen after some minutes of playing the sound and music effects are getting slowly corrupted. You hear some strange noises then or you simply hear nothing anymore. Load the Game again and in most cases everything is okay then. But the GFX glitches are there all the time, i don't know how to get rid of 'em, i think it is depending on the NeoCard Hardware and you cant do anything against it. Also i dont know what this little red screw (potentiometer) on the bottom side of the NeoCard is for. If you have information about that please contact me on the number given below. Also all other information is very welcome. Now a little list of games i have already: Three Count Bout / The Eight Man / Andro Dunos / Art of Fighting Alpha Mission II / Baseball Stars / 2020 Super Baseball / Burning Fight Crossed Swords / Cyberlib / Fatal Fury / Football Frenzy Ghost Pilots / JoyJoy Kid / King of the Monsters I+II / Last Resort League Bowling / Magician Lord / Mutation Nation / Nam 75 Ninja Commando / Ninja Combat / Riding Hero / Robo Army Soccer Brawl / The Super Spy / Sengoku I+II / World Heroes / Top Golf If you have any games that are not listed here please contact me on my BBS in Germany +49(0)228/263063 or 265687 or 229979 all HST Duals. I have all NeoGeo warez online! If you can get a Griffin Copier for the PC Engine or Core GrafX for me please also contact me immediately, you will receive money back + a little bonus and a disabled ratio on my Board. Now i go for some thanks and greetings: Joker (now !Derek!): Thanks for that cute thingy! Please get me another copy of Thrash Rally! It doesn't work, aaargh! Staff of Creeping Death: Cool board, but the HD is to tiny, hehe! Picard of Enterprise: Thanks for that elite account you gave me! You are my favorite board! Photos coming soon! Shredder of Wet Dreams: Where is my PC Engine Tape, aargh! Sigma Seven: I love SEX-Press, hehe! Keep on your good work! Where is my elite Zip Checker, hehe!? Chaos/Visa: Thanks for the Information with the GFX Glitches... Reeet Mon of Centrum: Hey? Are you still alive? You board is nearly dead!? Green Eyed Monster: Thanks for ya Cards! i like 'em very much, hehe! Okay, dewds thats all for now. I think the NeoGeo is still one of the best if not THE best computer game console available on the market. Go into the arcades and look what is standing there, all over and over NeoGeo Arcade pay-for-fun Consoles. I think they won't mount the worst things into their gamble halls, no!, it's because NeoGeo is still the very best! Goodbye yours: The Crackin' Ltd. P.S. Last rumours are saying there is a new NeoGeo Console coming from SNK. This Unit might come with a CD Rom Drive already installed.
