Question about Neo Geo AES difficulty settings

[Graham Mitchell]

Hey, guys. I'm very new to the Neo Geo scene. I'm playing MVS carts on a consolized MVS. When I boot the games in AES mode, most of the older titles list a menu for difficulty settings before starting the game. The options are usually "Easy", "Normal", "Hard", and "MVS".

I was wondering if someone could explain to me what's different about "MVS" mode?

Thanks!

The PS2 compilations also have those settings. According to the manuals, "MVS" is just the arcade's difficulty. What exactly it is depends on the game, but its usually easier than the "Hard" modes but harder than "Normal."

Thanks for the info. That seems a bit odd since the MVS version's difficult can always be configured using softdips. Interesting!
