I'm talking AES. For MVS, it's hit and miss but I would still avoid those countries. Check it against mvs-scans.com

I almost purchase a Metal Slug conversion from a French seller, and the worst part was that the guy was selling the item for a quite high price. Luckily I asked if the item was legit and he replied " It works perfectly" and due to that I gave up.
I saw a few good auctions from a Japanese seller, I will try to won a few games, just to start, but the good items is already very expensive with less than one hour that auction started. Some people don't know how to restrain himself in some auction, the auction starts at U$ 1,00, e someone already bid more than U$ 40,00.

Didn't know this thread was a thing. Just throwing this out there for any fans of Metal Slug 2 - the slowdown in that game is so bad I decided to do something about it:
Metal Slug 2 reducing the slowdown

Holy hell, man, that's fantastic. I'd love to get my MS2 cart modified for this, but I don't think I'd want to risk it myself.

well done man, this is a tremendous effort. I had read a topic regarding the possibility of this over at N-G a while ago. Glad to see someone has taken action. I would definitely try this out, but I'll probably look for a beat up MS2 cart first.

You might want to release the modification as a patch rather than hosting copyrighted work on your personal webspace, just to protect yourself.
Well - that was a whole load of effort. I really don't think SNK were going to care about that one, but since the question has been publically raised - it's done. I hope it works like that for everyone, I was only able to test it on a Vista machine and a CentOS box.

Here's some gameplay...they've done a lot of tweaks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hsArfUIZIk#t=90
The main thing to know about this conversion is the fact that it uses the music from Crossed Swords 1, sound FX are from Crossed Swords 2.
The next important thing to know is that this conversion will include fixes to the CD version of the game. There are many minor glitches in the CD version and hopefully I can get most of them fixed. I'm not going to list all the changes at this point but to give you an idea of the improvements added over the CD version thus far.
33 Sound FX added.
- Example, see Blue Mage's appearing in video.
53 Graphic fixes.
- Example. see female character on mode select screen.
Also
- General overall improvements that don't fall under the above.
- English text and grammar improvements.

I should charge money for that photo.
Then I could afford more AES games.

I would happily trade my PS4 for Neo Geo games. I would burn it to the GROUND.
Amazing. Was this really on Saved by the Bell?
You're right to want one, so get one?
Go MVS, and get a consolized system. Boom. Done. Get the games you want in that format before the prices get even worse.
Both are so expensive. Definitely the MVS route would be the way to go. Best library and price. I saw that Omega console, but half a grand is rather steep for me and my pockets right now.

Neo Geo CD is a cheap option for sure, but them loadtimes, holy shit.

MVS is the smarter and more economical path but I just can't give up that fantastic AES boxart.
CD can go jump.

I'd also like to know this. I can't really tell if I'm bidding on a bootleg on Ebay. I need something more reliable.
Can vouch. Its where I got my CMVS from.
Thirded. It really is the best place, and the people there know their shit like nobody else on any other forum. They do not suffer fools, though.
After recently waiting an hour to play a bit on GranTurismo (because of updates, updates, updates everywhere), perhaps the neo cd wasn't so bad.
Last Blade 2

Yeah LB2 for sure. SvC has its fans but overall it's kind of a maligned game.
Done and yeah, I always loved LB2, but never really got around to getting it.
I kinda wished I got the game a few years ago when it was cheaper =(
There is a lot to appreciate about Last Blade 2. The gameplay technics, the stage designs, the music and general nuances you get with exceptionally well made fighting games. SVC is the weaker in all regards, yes it is fine but Last Blade 2 just is more well rounded and satisfying.

Gameplay wise? Last Blade 2.
Value wise? SvC because whilst Last Blade 1 and 2 can be re-released on current and future platforms with relative ease, SvC is much more complicated license wise and would require SNK and Capcom to thrash out a new deal. This will contribute to SvC on AES increasing in volume faster than LB2.
Fiscally irresponsible wise? Get both, yo.

SvC has a hilarious translation too.
lol a few years ago when SVC Chaos was around 200USD and LB2 at 300USD I might have gotten both, but nowadays anything remotely valuable on AES is just so expensive.
I recently got into Neo Turf Masters via the PS2 collection and whilst I enjoyed the heck out of it, the AES and even CD price is just obscene for me to even bother.

Lol, you don't wanna know.
Even the store at neo-geo.com has obscene prices.
Let's just say that unless money is of no object, it is a horrible time to be getting into the AES scene and the more sane people should be looking into getting a MVS to AES converter and just stick to MVS carts instead.
You made the right call. LB2 also seems like one of the harder games to get these days; it isn't necessarily in the crazy expensive tier, but it's a lot harder to find a copy of it than say MotW. At least, that's what it seems to me.
LB2 is a weekly, if not daily, play for me. It rarely leaves my Omega. I've also been putting serious time into the NGPC version, which is also Godlike.
SVC is only worth it to see Capcom characters drawn in the SNK style. It does not play well, IMO.

It is often cheaper (and safer to avoid boots) to fly to Japan and buy AES carts there.
I am not even joking.
No doubt, even when I went to HK last year, the majority of the prices there are cheaper than the import online stores.
One day when I plan a trip to Japan, I'll go raid the retro stores lol.
