I was a kid at the time the Neo-Geo came out. I ran a classified ad in the local paper, sold my entire Sega Genesis collection and used the money to buy the Neo-Geo Magician Lord bundle and one other game - I think it might've been the Super Spy unfortunately. Not long after I got Last Resort and Samurai Shodown - both excellent. I couldn't believe I was playing the exact arcade game without quarters in my bedroom! It was worth it.
The Bios chip on the console is the thing that determines the game region. Not the cartridge. So if you have a USA AES and pop in a Japanese cart it will play in english. Some regions had features disabled though so that is one of the bonuses of the Unibios. Btw... arcade mode is nice on some of the absolutely brutal games. Magician Lord is one AES game that is near impossible to beat on the AES. So having a free "unlimited" coin option in arcade mode is nice when you want to just relax and finish a game. Version 4.0 launched in May btw.
I'm hoping the latest update for the Unibios 4.0 will be able to work with the Ngdevteam games like Gunlord 😳
A concise video that I needed as I'm going to buy one an AES this weekend !
Neo Geo games were so expensive; the bowling game was the most affordable at $250. I wanted one but it wasn't gonna happen. I was still a kid at the time.
Michael Aranda LOL, most affordable at 250... so crazy, one day ill have one. This and a cdx are highest on my want list
It always eluded me because of price, but it will always be one of my holy grails!
me aswell, i plan to get one with an everdrive and 2 controllers.. so once i have a spare 1000 dollars... LOL you can come over and we'll play neo geo every day
RETRO GAMING ARTS....A 1000 dollars looks like an acceptable price. Maybe when you get it you can stream it too.
Michael Aranda that price range is absurd. You can get a console with controllers for 300 easy enough if you look. Grab a Magic key for 150 and a 161 in 1 multi cart for 50 bucks and you are all set. And I don't know where you got your AES prices from (besides inaccurate internet price charts) but a lot of good AES games can be had for cheap. Samurai Shodown II for example goes for under $50. And if you are running a US console or the Unibios then even the JAPANESE version will be in english.
It’s a must, I have version 4.0
My Beautiful Neo Geo is Famous! 👍🏽
Marko Polo hahah, my channel may not make your neo geo famouse... maybe one day it will! But thank you for letting me uni bios your neo geo!
Thanks man. I had no idea all AES models are region free. Game changer.
dude right? so same with the neo geo CD, also, the neo geo cd you play backups with no mod, but the mods are nice to play said games in english
Very creative in providing content keep it up
Definitely a cool mod for the AES, get around some of the insane prices for US games. One day, I hope to own an AES....
Vidja Gamer one day me too... this one wasnt mine, we did however just get a really beat up neo geo 1 slot MVS cab.. big restoration process
RETRO GAMING ARTS awesome! MVS is also on my wish list haha.
I just ordered a CMVS, and it seems like the best of both worlds!
There is a discrepency there, the Japan carts will play in English on a US console, all carts will play in the language of the console by default. If the console has a Japan BIOS, the games will play in Japanese by default, regardless of where the cart is designated for original sale. The cart internals are identical between regions, revisions aside, and often a lot of Euro / US home carts have the English sticker put straight over the top of the Japanese sticker. Nam 1975 and Ninja Combat are perfect examples of that, very common to see two stickers on those carts.
Only a handful of games are not going to play in English, and those are a couple quiz games and Majong games, which do not play in English at all. Some games allow you to select language from the menus when played on an AES, and some games have the ability to select language in the softdip on MVS.
The UniBIOS allows you to change console region, which in turn will almost always change the default language.
I love my the neo geo aes...power house...
Regards Paul!!!
Did you use a 3-6 revision Neo Geo for this video? You might should consider the trace cut mod to get rid of those jail bars. You'll get crystal clear RGB that way out of 3-6 AES consoles. Edit, yeah looks like you've got a 3-6 revision there in the mobo shot. Definitely look up the trace cut mod and give it a shot! No more jail bars!
this wasnt my neo geo, was sent to us to do the bios mod, i havent done this jair bar fix mod you speak of! i would like to know more about it for when i get a neo geo
Ah that's cool. It only works on those later AES3-6 Neo Geo revisions. Apparently that trace cut makes for crystal clear and perfect RGB levels. Here's a web page about it:

KarbuncleX thank you. I will be getting an AES, so this is good to know. Always wanted something neo geo. Ive had a NGPC since they came out. But thats it. We did however get a 1 slot MVS cab the other day.... stay tuned for a video about that lol
Hmm...myself, I would prefer a scanline visual option myself, especially since the games are all sprite-based. Preserves the look of the arcade CRT monitors 👍
Jail bars aren't scanlines. Those are two different things. Jail bars are because of bad signal interference and are vertical in nature. Scanlines are an effect of a CRT screen and horizontal in nature.
My man Paul with the Game Haven shirt! (cries)
had to show love
When’s the next stream? You guys are chill
thank you, it will be every tuesday at 8pm eastern (or 8:30)
Thanks for the kind words!
Had no idea it would be that easy to swap out!
MrMario2011 the traces on the neo geo are very very VERY delicate, thats the hardest part, removing the old chip very carefully, so i use a socket for the install of the chip to make it even easier
The one system I always wanted and will never have
thats exactly how i feel Tbelly! this one isnt mine, i just modded it
TBelly Same here, bud. I don't think I'll ever be lucky enough to own one
Nice video. Does anyone know if the Unibios works for any of Ngdevteam games particularly the game Gunlord?
Paul that is very expensive back then and I gess more expensive 2 colleect but I am the first one to commeect
thank you Nicholas! yea, the neo geo is very expensive back then, and even more to this day... but small price to pay to have an actual arcade in your home, this one isnt mine, it was sent to me to mod, so i did a video explaining the mod. but this is very VERY high on my i need list, which is only a few things, and this is one of them lol
