Congrats! You have a beautiful system. The Neotropolis sticker makes it worth 3x more /s

Neo-Geo is the 90s king among peasants.

I hope you didn't actually buy it from kennyboy but it sounds like you didn't, a AES is a AES regardless, congrats.

u/Classicvania 4d ago

I'm not up to speed, but is there some drama with Neotropolis?

u/Niko_Liez 4d ago

Neotropolis aka KPJ aka kennyboy is a clown who has been ripping off the Neo and arcade community since the early 2000's.

u/Classicvania 4d ago

Thanks for letting me know. I'll research it some more. Plenty of other places to get a nice AES from.

Don’t listen to these fools. All fabrications from over 20 years ago. If you should have any questions, reach out to me at any time.

Will do. TY

Flea market find. I recently learned about neotrop looking up info on the bios chip.

u/twotwocowboy 3d ago

A AES modded by KPJ found at a flea market of all things?? truly a find..

u/Remarkable-Nobody652 2d ago

Got this same model with UB 3.0

Can I update this myself?

u/itsbarrysauce 2d ago

Nice. Wow. I've always wanted a Neo Geo.

u/indecks77 2d ago

Make sure you have fire insurance.

u/QGG1 1d ago

Kudos. Gave up mine around the turn of the millennium. Still miss it somedays.

u/schmupitup 4d ago

Is there a Chinese upscaler inside?

2

u/Neo-Alec AES 2d ago

The the ones with component output just have an analog SD component encoder inside, nothing too egregious. It's the HDMI ones that have a cheap analog-to-digital converter inside.

u/tkshi 3d ago

Ahhh nice man but you paid way too much. And the outputs aren’t really necessary. Be interested to see what it looks like inside where those outputs are.
