QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jan 30 2009, 04:59 PM) Since you have been following, may I ask have you come across a NGCD game called Iron Clad? If you did what's the market price now? No.  Will pay attention to it while browsing next time. |

QUOTE(gundamalpha @ Jan 30 2009, 09:54 AM) I do believe Game Genie does not have region lock embedded, so it should be safe. However there games that have region lock chip, so you can't simply plug and play. Games like Sonic 3 (weirdly not & Knuckles though), Gunstar, Contra, PSIV and Shinobi III are region locked, which are possible to bypass through Game Genie, but you need the right codes. The whole region lock thingie made me sold my Mega CD and settled for a CDX since, for some odd reasons, Genesis games are much cheaper than JP MD games. No problem playing imported Mega CD games too aint the megadrive cartdige a different shape or something ? |

I do believe neogeo is owning a JP MD, so inserting cartridges from any region shouldn't be a problem.. unless mine is modified without my knowledge

Mine is a JPN MegaDrive, but i only have JPN games,which is quite pricey compare to the US one. That is why I am trying to bypass the troublesome Region Lock, so i can save more on my collection. Also thinking of adding a MEGA CD and 32X soon. This post has been edited by neogeocdz: Jan 31 2009, 12:30 AM |

Does Mega CD have region lock hardware wise? I know the games can be bypassed through a cart, but not so sure about the hardware itself. Most probably neogeo is getting a JP Mega CD anyway I guess.
And what about 32X? I think it's region locked right? If that's the case JP MD owners would be doomed, since JP 32X games either sucks or overpriced. 3rotor might be able to enlighten us a bit here :here: |

Yeah, modded to display on a JAMMA cabinet. I don't have an arcade cabinet or else I'd mod all my consoles to play on it

I used to own a PAL CDX, then switched to US CDX with PAL CDX case swap so can insert cartridge from any region
 Any particular Saturn game you are looking for shahreza? Or what Saturn game are you playing now? This post has been edited by gundamalpha: Jan 31 2009, 03:05 PM |

Are you planning to get US or JP Guardian Heroes? And regarding shmup, you must play Battle Garegga, which IMO much better than RSG

Buy the game (Battle Garegga), beat the game once (don't care how many credits) and watch the superplay and learn why this game is unversally recognized as the shmup with deepest mechanics. Every time you suicide, collect item, bombing and even how rapid you shoot affects the game difficulty
 I'm still learning this game every time I play it.Added on January 31, 2009, 7:06 pmI wonder how do you guys maintain your retro consoles Curious because that's what I'm doing right nowThis post has been edited by gundamalpha: Jan 31 2009, 07:06 PM |

Well you need to keep them running for hours once in a while or else the internal batteries (irreplaceable) will die
