Neo Geo CD System question

[Matt-El]

Has there been anyone that has modified a system for faster loading times? Seems pretty unlikely, but it popped in my head recently. What lengths would a person have to go to? Sell his soul to satan and eat the heart of a newborn?


Thanks in advanced!

Nah, it's one of those things that would be ultimately cool, but never gonna happen.

It'd mean basically rebuilding the system, to include a faster CD drive with a larger RAM cache. And then re-writing the games so they can take advantage of the upgraded system. So, no never happening.

I'd love to rebuild an N64 with a CD drive; the way it should have been. But that's another impossible project. Closest I'll get is an N64 with CD64 in a cutom case.

Neo CD load times aren't that bad though. It's a first gen system that's 12yrs old. Compared to first gen PSone games, it's not too bad. And compared to the new WWA Wrestling game on PSP, they're super quick.

Pretty much.


This has to be Neo CD FAQ #1 and, as the Space Simian says, ain't never gonna happen.

If you want a faster loader get the CDZ but you need to install an internal fan as they overheat and die quicly from it. The CDZ just has more RAM cache so it loads more at one time rather than faster, but seems quicker to the unknowing.
