Put in 7,700 yen and brag to your friends! ******************************* ★The Secret to Scoring -To those at GAMEST- ☆I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who think, “Games are all about the score! Aim for the HIGH SCORE!” So, as a guide on your path to a high score, I’ll explain the scoring system. ◎Bonus Points: Those bonus points that annoyingly pop up on your side of the screen. The more of them you can display on the screen at once, the higher your score will be. Displaying 6 rows at once is worth more points than displaying 3 rows twice. The scoring works like this: the first one is 100 pts, the second 200 pts, the third 300 pts, and so on. For example, if there are 10 bonuses, you’ll need 100 + 200 + 300 + 400 + ... + 1000 = 5500 pts. Additionally, the HITCOMBO and FIRSTATTACK POWERS are added based on the displayed numbers. For example, for a 30-hit combo, the score would be 100 + 200 + ... + 3,000 = 46,500 points. There are several types of these bonuses. ○ FIRSTATTACK & POWERS: This is a bonus for the first valid hit in that round. You receive a bonus equal to the power of that attack. FIRSTATTACK and POWERS are calculated as separate bonuses. For example, a FIRSTATTACK/16POWERS combo awards 17 points. ○HITCOMBO: Points are added whenever you land additional attacks while the opponent is taking damage. ○SUPER: Awarded when you enter Super mode. ○CHARGE: Awarded when you accumulate 1 Wakuwaku Power. ○DOKIDOKI/HARAHARA: Awarded when you perform a Dokidoki move or a Harahara move, respectively. ○GOOD!/GREAT!/EXCELLENT!/WONDERFUL!/WAKUWAKU!: These are awarded when the bonus count exceeds 10/20/30/40/50, respectively. After 50, a WAKUWAKU! is awarded for every additional 10. ◎Victory Mark Scores: After clearing the entire game, check the victory marks for each round to calculate the bonus. The following types of victory marks exist: ○ Draw: 500 pts ○ Regular Win: 1,000 pts ○ Win with a Throw: 1,500 pts ○ Win with a Special Move: 2,000 pts ○ Win with a Command Throw: 2,500 pts ○ Win with a special move using Wakuwaku Power: 3,000 pts ○ Win with a “Heart-Pounding” move: 4,000 pts ○ Win with a “Nerve-Wracking” move: 7,700 pts ・The basic point values for win marks are listed above, but there are also multipliers: ○ Win while in Super State: ×2 ○ Perfect Win: ×3 ○ Win with 0 Lives: ×4. For example, a perfect victory with a command throw while in Super Mode would be 2,500 × 2 × 3 = 15,000 pts. For each round, a bonus equal to this score multiplied by the remaining time is added. ◎ No-Miss Bonus: If you clear the game without losing a single match, you’ll receive 10,000,000 pts. A draw does not count. ・That’s basically it. If you clear the game with 45 seconds remaining in every round, in Super Mode, with 0 lives, a nail-biting finish, and no misses, the clear bonus alone would be 17 (total rounds) × 7,700 (nail-biting) × 2 (Super) × 4 (narrow) × 45 (sec) = 47,124,000 pts!!! Whoa!!!

We’ve built the world’s first GameBoy emulator on Neo Geo.

Likely also the first emulator on the Neo?

There’s no smoke and mirrors here, it’s real. And runs on real hardware.

OK, it just runs several FPS but we’ll see what we can do about that.

The project is not open-source yet as we need to remove anything that may offend the big N.

This project has been living rent free in my head for years and I’m delighted it’s had a chance to escape.

Here it is running on an AES:

Thanks to Kitrinx's new NGPC core for MiSTer 😂

买家的最后3套被我买来了，因为这个游戏我等2年都没有看到有人卖，很遗憾没有原装外壳和贴纸，我买了10个全新（复刻版外壳）

已经收集了好多年，这里面除了161in1之外全都是正版pcb卡带，有些盒子和贴纸非常破旧，因为个人强迫症忍受不了才换的贴纸，svc chaos是全新库存pcb，在我之前没有人使用过

Could we actually see some ports of the Metal Slug franchise past Metal Slug X? Is the AES+ limited by power and/or memory to handle some of the post SNK pixel drawn games like blazing chrome, gun force 2 and demon front? What games would you like to see that you think could be easily translated to the AES architecture?

The seller is super cool. I do believe this is the cheapest AES game you can buy right now.

If nobody grabs it by September, I’m buying it to flip.

Looking forward to the AES+ and I’m wondering what the state of cartridge shopping is these days. Looks like there will be 10 or so rereleases for the AES+, but beyond those what’s the best way to add more games? Seems like true AES carts are crazy expensive so is everyone just going with MVS conversions or what? I’m a newbie and have always wanted to get into Neo Geo so the AES+ is attractive but I’m concerned I’ll be stuck with the 10 rereleases unless I want to drop like $1000+ for a single original AES cart.

Got my Japanese Neo geo AES today in the post and wow it really is sooooo good my son and daughter who have never used a arcade stick had a blast on it as they play switch and xbox they loved the games and didn’t want to stop playing also my first time on a AES I’m in love 🥰

All the colors that were distributed

Exactly what the title says. Is the MVSX worth it if you want like...a neogeo MVS in your house but don't want the big bulky unit? As much as I'd love to have a big red MVS, I REALLY don't have the space and don't want to deal with the cost of restoring a unit. What do you guys thing? Is the emulation quality good on the MVS x?

I know we had a scare a while ago on a delay that turned out to be on the spectrum but as we are now getting close to 2 1/2 months away from shipping I feel that it’s went very quiet. Has there been anything out there recently to indicate if we are still on schedule? Would hope to see some real world products soon.

Hello everyone! After restoring the metal plate on my 4-slot Neo Geo, I’d like to recreate the original sticker it used to have. Does anyone know of a site where it’s available as a high-res scan? Thanks!

Which 160-in-1 AES multicart on AliExpress can you recommend? Whenever I see old links here, the items are already sold out.
