The Neo Geo catridge console

[Tecmo Ninja]

I know that the Neo Geo CD version comes with handheld controllers but is there anyway that the cartridge version can work with a handheld, because the controller for the cartridge based model is way too big.

Kind of the wrong forum for this, but I'll answer anyhow.

All Neo Geo controllers are compatible with all variations of the systems.

The Neo Geo CD controller pad, the original AES arcade stick, and the revised kidney bean controller are all interchangeable on the AES/CD/CDZ systems.

Hopefully that helps

Thanks yes it does. One more question, out of the 2 consoles which one do you prefer the CD or cartridge?

The NGCD has pretty bad loading times, but the games are fairly cheap in comparison to AES carts, some of which sell for over $1K. The best approach is to get a consolized MVS (the arcade system), since most MVS games are dirt cheap. I own an AES but I plan to get an MVS converter so I don't have to empty out my bank account to get a new game for it (!).

Also is there any way that nes and sega games can work on the neo geo?

Photos of the loading times? Think PS1, but slower. 60 seconds to play a game (sounds short, but it's not)

No

[Tecmo Ninja]

In your opinion, what is the greatest console of all time?

[crade]

The PS1 wasn't bad for loading times at all..

The intellivision II is the best console.

So with a converter can the Neo Geo play almost any arcade game that existed?

If you want to play arcade boards that aren't Neo Geo cartridges, you'll need something called a Supergun.  Superguns essentially turn any arcade game board into a game you can play on your TV.  In addition, you can buy any old one-slot MVS board, plug it into a Supergun, and then it's just like having a consolized MVS (but less pretty).  If you'd like to learn more, SupremeJudge made a great general overview video: http://youtu.be/-GNFUh_gwxI

He has several videos on arcade games & mods as well.

Thanks a lot, so what's your favorite console?

What does that have to do with the original topic?

Not that you asked me or anything, but I'd say that the best console is a 3-way (haha 3-way so funny) tie between the Famicom, the Master System and the Genesis. This is my opinion.

The Neo Geo seems like it had such crisp graphics.

I'm tempted to say GBA SP.  Sorry Famicom

I know some people insist that handhelds aren't consoles, so to satisy those folks I'd say the Super Famicom.
I played PS2 the most avidly, myself.
