Want to play Neo Geo, but it's so expensive

If I ever get my standup MVS cab, I might have to grab a multicart.  Not my preference, but pickin's have to be slim at this point.

[Groover]

I have been hearing about this (Neo Geo Multicart) on RetroRGB's weekly videos. It is going to be around $400. Not bad considering the cost of the library. I have been looking into getting a MVS and either consolize it or get one consolized and a 161 in 1 cart. but this Flash cart has me thinking I should get a Neo Geo before the year is out.

Heh-heh, you reminded me that I've actually been compared to Charlie Sheen - it was by an XSEED troll on the company's forums to insult me though. ;)

[crazydean]

This is interesting. I still haven't gotten around to buying a CMVS but with this I could get an AES instead.

[LETMEINPLEASE]

Honestly if you arent into fighting games than the CD route is a good one to go. The S-Video Output on my CDZ looks great, Id say better or equal to the component out on my OMEGA. If you arent playing fighting games the load times are not bad, esp. on the CDZ. And some games on CD are dirt cheap. And if you want to, putting in a region switch is a breeze. But a multi cart on a CMVS is probably the best, cheapest way to play on real hardware.

That was definitely not the intention. On the topic of Neo, I did just see your post on the Neo-Geo forums. I hope you get your money back from that guy. I was torn between laughing my ass off at your post, and realizing that he really did screw you over; as part of the "team" that lifted your work for profit. He deserves every bit of keyboard warrioring. I would say though that if you have an oral or email contract you could take him to small claims court?

Perhaps I'm dredging up demons that have been locked in a cave for 1000 years. If so, and it will just be a point of contention, I can drop the topic.

No, that's exactly what they wanted (avoidance, silence on the subject, etc.); as long as I kept quiet, they (Tom Lipschultz included) mostly kept quiet, playing stupid ever since... I gave them silence for the first 2 years (I DID try to forget it ever happened!) which was a stupid thing to do in retrospect.

See, I only thought he exported the Felghana translated results initially, but then I learned he -- on XSEED's behalf -- kept unloading whatever our fan parternship had produced, Ys I, Ys II, Ys Origin, and he ALMOST got to unload Ys VI, a project we shelved due to Konami's PS2 port, but that also left him with translated results given my script extraction ideas, and translation software, that is, all the step 1 work hours on my part to initiate the translation process which XSEED's Tom denigrates as that of a "text delivery boy..."

You can realize the underhanded implication here, if there were >20 Falcom projects (they got away with it 4 times, and I thwarted the 5th with my phone calls to Ken Berry) between me and him, he would've unloaded everything produced, pocketing 100% corporate profit and credit in every case, and continuing direct silence towards me, making sure I was cheated even in crediting every step of the way, perpetually playing stupid forever more... That's how rotten, cruel -- just outright mean -- these monsters really are!!!!

The only reason he ceased his game of hide'n'seek after 3 years was because I started the public boycott on my website, and I got his first email demanding I delete all references to him on my website, and bluffing that he had hired a lawyer, claiming he had a valid libel lawsuit against me which would have a far greater chance of winning versus any grievances I had against him in conspiracy with XSEED Games!

The fact is, if these a$$holes couldn't do it right, they should've just worked with professional translation contractors or an internal staff, paid the full rates, just like any other business rather than set a horribly divisive precedent and expect me to just crawl away and live with it! No f*ck that, it took a while, but I decided I wasn't gonna take this bullshit lying down, that's 5 damn years of my life that were wasted on getting some petty, callous, cock-flashing, criminal cunt officially credited in the videogame industry without so much as a 'thank-you'!

Whatever happens, it's not gonna end with their prescribed outcome, I need to get going with a legal write-up document and do *something* rather than sit in anger while they try to ignore the problem away and hope I'll just give up!

In other words, if XSEED does anything with the Neo Geo boycott them! Anyway, was thinking of taking a picture of my chaotic setup, will do upon request of the original poster.

There really aren't "two sides" to this story.  NW and D-Bag worked on the translations together, after which D-bag sold the finished work to xseed and used it to get a job with them, and NW was never credited with anything; the feigned ignorance and justifications from other xseed employees afterwards are beside the point.  These main points are easily verified, so the only question is whether or not you think D-Bag is justified in stealing the glory for himself because only the translated script is worth anything and the technical side of dumping/inserting the text is worthless.

I am not a stupid man... BUT if DeuceBag, Xseed... or whoever the fuck is replying... he can answer the points in question without reading shit like "YOU ARE A FUCKING DIRTBAG, GIVE ME MY $550USD. NOW!!!!"

I am not a stupid man...

I'm not sold on you being all that bright, seeing as my second sentence clearly delineated the salient points, but I'm sure I can dumb it down a bit further:

• Deuce and NW worked together on translating some Ys games with Deuce doing the translating and NW doing the script dumping, insertion, etc.  I can't name exactly which titles or how many were done off the top of my head, but does it matter?
• Deuce took the work to x.seed, got paid for it, and got hired.  I can't say which happened first or if it was concurrent, but again, I can't see how it matters.
• NW has never been paid for his technical work or even given credit.
• Later there were several unprofessional communications from x.seed staffers (Lipschultz, Miller, and Deuce himself) that're really more funny than anything.  I'm sure NW has screenshots of all that stuff squirreled away somewhere, but it really isn't relevant and has no bearing on the validity of the first three points.

I doubt D-Bag would claim any of the above to be false (not intelligibly anyway), so you're left with a judgement call on whether or not NW deserved remuneration for his part.

BUT if Deuce, Xseed... or whoever the fuck is replying... he can answer the points in question without reading shit like "YOU ARE A FUCKING DIRTBAG, GIVE ME MY $550USD. NOW!!!!"

Other than me calling him a d-bag instead of deuce (I'm such an ogre!), I didn't say anything even close to that.  If you're just going to make stuff up to 'prove' your point, you can drop the charade that you're conducting an unbiased investigation and toddle back to neogeo to proclaim another internet victory.

[NecroPhile]

Yep, I'm sure I ruined the forum by approving new members, updating high-score threads for dormant OPs, and moving misplaced threads (99% of moderation actions taken). 

If you want to continue to bitch about me and/or this forum, start a thread somewhere else.  This thread has been derailed enough.

Neo Geo Multicart being made here, MVS and AES Variants.

http://www.arcade-projects.com/forums/index.php?board/31-neo-geo-multigame-cart/

Like a neo ever drive, right?  'Tis sexy but that price is pretty steep compared to the xxx-in-one booties, especially since it only holds four games at a time.

[Otaking]

IMO if it wasn't for NecroPhile and others this forum would of ended up like NintendoAge but with TurboGrafx and PC Engine.
Over the last few years most of the new members arriving seemed interested in the hobby more from a collecting aspect as opposed to the old timers here who are more interested in playing the games.

That's why I hate, hate the Facebook groups where everyone just posts pictures of their latest pick ups, game rooms or teh rarez. It is the NintendoAge of PC Engine. 

Rot as NecroPhile said I think you should start a new thread.

[NightWolve]

The way i see it Nightwolve... ...I'd prefer both sides of an argument... I read the Xseed stuff but more info would be appreciated (PM Me...)... Don't forget... it was YOU that started this on the Deuce sales thread... I'm just containing it...

The XSEED side is excuses, red herring arguments, denialism, "my PayPal icon" etc. They did it quickly, secretly, I was the last to know anything - I found out about it 2 weeks later from a disgruntled XSEED translation contractor emailing me, John Sears, asking me how much XSEED paid DeuceBag and myself, and notice that he naturally assumed BOTH of us had been contacted and paid, but he was wrong and I didn't know what he was talking about...

John wanted to know what XSEED paid us because he felt they lowballed him to translate "Kiseki / Legend of Heroes VI: First Chapter," (AKA Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky) which has one of the largest scripts in videogame history. He felt they were "cheaping" him, they were cheapskates (which I agree), and wanted inside payment info, of course, companies use NDAs to block workers form revealing/sharing salaries/payments, so I wouldn't have been able to tell him anything anyways. Only DeuceBag knows what he pocketed for the 4 scripts in question, Ys I, Ys II, Felghana and Ys Origin, and he went into silence with me for 3 years, playing stupid ever since as mentioned...

OK, why did they cheat me ? What's the simple answer ? Public relations - Tom Lipschultz, who hated me, presented me as an embarrassment to the company, his coworkers, etc. Tom was part of a double-cross with DeuceBag before he was hired by the company as well, and he told his company about that too. He told them about the drama 3 years back when my Felghana patch was leaked, that I made mean troll posts, used all that against me, and he sent them to my website where, at the time, the last post had a photo of my middle finger, Joe Redifer style...

Tom generalized me as an embarrassment, a PR problem of association, and told them how DeuceBag was willing to export Ys Origin to Tom's programmer in secret after starting the project with me, breaking our partnership, and that he could export the previous Ys translations we had produced together much in the same way for the company, and that's what they did... I was rendered "persona non grata," you get the idea...

Now what Tom reported for me, is just as important as what he omitted for DeuceBag... He didn't send his company links to DeuceBag's cock-shots at the NeoGeo forums which was his main homebase... He just presented him as the "good guy" and me the "bad guy" and got me "blacklisted" essentially. His grudge became the company's grudge.

Ultimately, XSEED preferred to only have to pay 1 person, instead of 2, there's that too, and Tom provided all the possible excuses in the world, defining me by any negative posts, generalizing me as unprofessional, etc. They thought they could cheat me "fair'n'square" by disingenuous "typing games" whereby he who typed the English text "wins" (DeuceBag), and he who was just a text delivery boy "loses" (me). So, Jeff typed all the English text, give him 100% credit/profit, NightWolve just delivered Japanese text that already existed, so right there is an easy excuse/red herring for them to hide behind should I ever protest. Don't judge it by "work hours" they arbitrarily say, no no no, just judge it by a "typing game" and ignore Tom's bias and grudge for me...

It's also worth noting, something else I learned over the years, Tom has indeed succeeded in using XSEED to carry out a personal "Friends v. Enemies" List... If you're Tom's friend, he can get you credited for the smallest of things.

1) Psycho Kirsten "omgfloofy" Miller, one of the most relentless trolls I ever ran into, he got her credited, no amount of embarrassing cyber-bullying behavior on her part matters, because he excluded that in his presentation. 2) Michael Cunningham was credited just for letting Tom borrow a Lunar SegaCD. 3) Keith "GameMusicFreak" was credited just for letting Tom download material from the Chinese Celceta DVD PC game... You know, piracy! And you can't credit someone for illegal DVD ripping, now can you ??? Of course you can (Tom selectively claimed "you can't credit someone for text rippping!" proving once again he makes up the excuses as he goes along to cover up for his pure hatred!) As for Keith, he's a nice guy, never had a problem with him, just reporting how Tom has operated with other people versus the "special treatment" that I got...

So, for the smallest of things, if you know him from Ys forums, and can do something for him, he'll get you credited, me, a person he hated, for thousands of my work hours, my translation software, commissioning the production of those translations, starting the projects, recruiting the cock-flasher to translate...for me, ZERO CREDIT, and just excuses ever since...

This is Tom Lipschultz' "WyrdWad" account and what he posted when somebody erased me from the Credits I added to one of the games in question:



The guy was feuding with me publicly and privately at least 2 years before he got the job at XSEED and this is the background on how it all happened. Pulled the same shit with his company, so yes, DeuceBag isn't the only criminal culprit, it was a duo of deucebags at work and you had a conspiracy at work given their conniving nature!

Well, I hope this gives you more of an idea, but you seem to be unable to decide how interested you are in this story to justify reading article-length posts you deem "too long..." This IS a lengthy story, if you care to learn more, but yeah...

[blueraven]

Wow, man. That's truly insane. I would have just filed in small claims court. I'd check with a lawyer soon: just call a contract lawyer in your state, and in the state where the contract was issued (or google it) to see if they can answer a few questions for free. I know that if you have a small claim in CA, where I live, the statute of limitations is 2 years to file a claim for an oral contract and 5 for written.. but I'm not a lawyer, just an informed citizen.

...I learned this the hard way when my LLC got burned for $800+ worth of website work back in 2008. I tried file a claim in 2010, and was about 3 months too late. The statute of limitations had expired and the guy basically laughed at me. We had a contract made over the phone, an oral agreement, and there was no mention of monetary exchange in our emails because he was 60, literally twice my age +6 and barely knew how to use a computer. His wife would send his emails for him and had no clue how to rename images.

After saying he wouldn't pay me, the son of a bitch he then told me about his newly restored Harley Davidson.

...and we had a chance meeting with mutual business associates in 2011. Our associate was privy and knew that he had burned me, and asked us both to keep the drama out of the meeting. He brought a bodyguard that he claimed was working for him "To do the heavy lifting". I couldn't fucking believe it. I ate crow for the entire 3 hours, and in the end it was my fault for not taking action soon enough. Not as high-profile as a complete game translation; it was about 30 hours worth of work and a day of travel time. I had to let that one go.

Sometimes you get burned, man. Hard. And it sucks not getting credit for your work. I'd call an attorney to find out if you have a claim. At least you'll have an answer.

lol rot still thinks that people outside of his neo clique will kiss his ass. Fuck up a forum? You have no idea what you're talking about you drunken fuck. Everytime I go to neo-geo.com I can see you threatening someone of a ban just because he disagrees with you, with posts like "I'm not going to do it because I'm in a good mood blablabla". I think you're looking at the wrong "overmodded" forum.

This forum is so overmodded that I would only be banned by NecroPhile if I copy and pasted full threads from a neonazi site or something. I see NecroPhile clashing with users here all the time but I've never see him threatening a ban even once. Compare that to a certain forum where people have to riot in order to make a mod reverse a retarded permaban by rolling back the server database.  If NecroPhile posted exactly like you did here at neo-geo.com he would have been banned at first sight.

"you're forum is dead..." says a newfag with 20 posts and no interest on NEC consoles whatsoever. Thanks for the deep, detailed analysis of the site. We are just children playing guys, we aren't big tymers on the internet. I'm going to create a thread for a collective suicide @ Nulltard's house, let the superior site about a 90's overpriced toy reign the land.

So. Neo Geo.


Brining "affordable" Neo Geo to the masses.

[ginoscope]

A friend just dropped off a free non working 2 slot mvs cab with 8 games.  It doesn't power on but the board looks ok.  I removed the battery as it looks like it was starting to leak.  Not sure if there is anyway to test the board without the monitor working.

I tried to connect the board to the cab but it looks like the monitor is not coming on.  I see the red led on the board but that is about it.  Gives me hope the board is not dead.   I just got it yesterday so have not had a ton of time to trouble shoot but any tips would be welcome.

Leaning towards consolizing the board with the option of also using it in the cab once I get that going.

[geise]

I like neo-geo.com for what it is, but man for everyone trying to act all big it's full of pussies complaining all the damn time.  All the "ban please" is so old.  LOL at Rot calling out necrophile about modding.  He doesn't realize this is the most unmodded forum on the internet related to gaming.

Lol Punch... I'm all for the group suicide at my place, but I have to object to your claim of NecroPhile not threatening bans.

I never saw him going through with any of his threats though.

Hint: Those two week vacations he offers aren't really vacations. 

[NecroPhile]

It happens but it's not a common occurrence, nor do I think they were unreasonable.  In the last two years that I've been a mod, there's been seven bans:  a spambot (other subsequent spambots instead had their accounts deleted outright), xray (nazi weirdo), madboom and ninja (scammers), and three short term bans for poor forum etiquette.

Compare that to a certain forum where people have to riot in order to make a mod reverse a retarded permaban by rolling back the server database.  If NecroPhile posted exactly like you did here at neo-geo.com he would have been banned at first sight.

"you're forum is dead..." says a newfag with 20 posts and no interest on NEC consoles whatsoever. Thanks for the deep, detailed analysis of the site. We are just children playing guys, we aren't big tymers on the internet. I'm going to create a thread for a collective suicide @ Nulltard's house, let the superior site about a 90's overpriced toy reign the land.

edit: lol at the namedropping. AARON NANTO SAVE ME PLS!

Just curious, so was this guy banned for having the wrong opinions or did he scam some schmuck on the form like the other two.

He was banned for selling Nazi swastika neon signs as far as I know, but anyway, how's your sex life?

Lol Punch... I'm all for the group suicide at my place, but I have to object to your claim of NecroPhile not threatening bans. Hint: Those two week vacations he offers aren't really vacations. 

The people NecroPhile bans are legit human trash, and usually he doesn't even mention it.

Yeah, this is the actual sort of trash I was thinking of. I heard that guy got trampled to death at a Trump rally when someone said "free wings". What a way to go.

I will say, I appreciate that xRotx allowed me to get in DeuceBag's face on the NeoGeo forums and thwart his sales thread. I knew there was possible risk of reprimand, but he figured to just move the thread to their War Room (our Fighting Street equivalent) and allow the flaming to continue there which is fair enough.

Basically, in 2011, DeuceBag sort-of rage quit the forum, that's after his cock-shot, said he wouldn't be logging back in there, but out of the blue, he recently showed up this year, made a few blending-in comments like nothing happened, then made a sales thread to pass off unwanted games. Awfully convenient when he needs his NeoGeo comrades after accusing them in the general sense of deliberately viewing his linked cock-shot AND wanting to kill numerous Neo-Geo.com members as stated in his "Am I an a$$hole?" thread and losing his cool after Psycho Dox Shroom + others mildly trolled him...

Anyway, I saw the thread, decided to take Barack Obama's advice about "getting in their faces" because of DeuceBag's continued evasiveness/ignore/pretend-he-did-nothing-wrong/etc keeping 100% corporate profit that he made off my IT work hours, translation software, etc. He shouldn't have peace when he shows up in nonchalant fashion in places and I gave him too many years of ignoring him...

Here's the thread: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?267175-Multiple-SNK-Dreamcast-games-for-sale-Op-60-40-is-a-Deuce_bag

I checked back today and he actually posted, so I succeeded in finally really rattling the criminal's cage into exposing more of his thought patterns behind the criminal deals with XSEED Games! I'll have plenty to respond to this week, but as usual, DeuceBag prefers to quickly find the exit with none of his views/opinions challenged/debated publicly in back'n'forth fashion; he escapes after making mostly arrogant or half-truth statements and allows for no counter-point. First thing he said was he put me on ignore, and last thing makes clear he won't return for any rebuttals. That's how the monster rolls and has since those deals took place!

I know it's not the point but lol at some of his prices. I can go pay $32 for Last Blade 2 JP right now (paid $29 last year). It'd take longer to get sure, but for that kind of difference I'd do it.

I also appreciate the fucking irony of his user title "Death Before Dishonesty".

Holy shit at DeuceBag's last post in that thread. A lot of wild accusations in there.

Before I was a mod, he was outed as a white supremacist nazi weirdo and left of his own accord.  He decided to come back about three years later, started in with general trolling and a racist comment or two, earning himself the boot.

Bunch of text

Jesus dude, what a way to derail a thread. Just because it has Neo Geo in the title doesn't mean its ok to bring in the neo forums drama.

[NightWolve]

Alright, I linked that "content" back to his NeoGeo thread, plus I'd rather my response to his wild generalizations be there with it [eventually] before his post is pasted around by itself.
