Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Mad respect.

Awesome thread.
A pity it died out so fast.

Is Neo Geo CD region free?

What are the games with bearable (10-15 seconds top and not too frequent) loading time?
Any fighting game?

In before "The future is ... now loading".

The older fighters seem more bearable imo. I have no problems with SS2 and FF3 once they've been played once or twice. System is region free I believe.

Im still mad the full fan translation wasnt released due to some community bickering.

Yeah. Neo CDs are region free. The console's region determines the game's region like the carts, I believe.

As for games that load fast, I suggest looking at the Meg count of the game. The ones that are smaller will have less loading. I believe the Neo Geo CD has a 56 meg cache (larger on the CDZ) so most games around that or lower will have no loading after the initial load.

Here's some helpful links with the Meg count and some load times:
