Is there such thing as PAL/NTSC region on NEO GEO AES systems?
If i buy a AES system from asia or usa, and games from europe or vice versa, will it work?
Or do i have to to buy a PAL AES system?

Re: Neo Geo question
I suppose the Japanese NG should work here in the states, but yeah, there's different regions - every game has all the regional data programmed right in so it'll play differently on different region systems. If you want the games to play like they did in US arcades, get a US system (Euro shouldn't be too different). Now, unless you're going for an RGB monitor and can SCART -> RGB, you probably don't want a PAL system. Different voltages as well, that might be a problem.
Hehe ok thanks for the answer
Is there anyway to find out if the game is PAL or NTSC? Can i find this on the cartridge?
The cart itself isn't PAL or NTSC, only the console is.
US releases usually are called "Dog Tag" releases because many have a snarling doggie on the side. Japanese ones are pretty easy to spot, what with the Japanese text on the front. European releases usually look like American stuff, just no Dog Tag. You can play any region game on any system.
As folks often say...blood 'n bouncy - go with modded or a Japanese one. (I sort of think excessive blood in fighters is dumb, but I miss bouncy!)
or you can always mod a US with The Debug Bios Chip I know I've going to be doing that to mine very soon.
Debug is crap.
Go with the Universe BIOS. It does everything debug does, and a few hundred other things too.

silly me
What function(s) do you achive/unlock when you mod it?
If it doesnt matter where in th world you buy the games, neo-geo is universal isnt it?
you achieve, secret playable characters, MVS mode, english language, japanese language, toggle the edited blood and fatalities, etc... believe me its worth it, im about to upgrade my chip again soon, i currently have the debug, but the unibios blows it away.
BLAST AWAY AND GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plus you'd need the newest (well, post-SSV) version of the Uni BIOS to get access to stuff in the game - or perhaps to get the game to play at all; I'm not sure. That game has issues with other BIOSes.
Uni BIOS , all versions since 1.3, work with all games. Uni 2.0 unlocks the censored fatalities (and fixes sound bugs) from the original AES release of SSVS.
The uni BIOS is compatible with anything, and should only be installed in a socket. That way you can upgrade it easily later, as newer versions are released.

when they say socketed installation, what does that mean??? does it mean, that once done its very simple for someone like me to upgrade it myself??Originally Posted by omnedon

You need an EPROM burner, but having a socketed UniBIOS means you can just pop it into a burner and burn the newer revision without having to do any soldering.when they say socketed installation, what does that mean??? does it mean, that once done its very simple for someone like me to upgrade it myself??
Is AES and MVS the same thing? If not, what are the diffrent?
AES is the home console, MVS the arcade version. You can't play MVS games on the AES without a converter. The MVS games are cheaper, but they don't come with the nice boxes the AES games have.
Wii: 8285 8147 1575 6278
also note, main advantage of MVS play = unlimited continues, main disadvantage = no practice or extra modes of gameplay, main advantage of unibios is that with it , it doesnt matter because you can do it all with the same cartridge, in the same system.

Ok
What is the most comming thing sold, AES or MVS? How can i tell the diffrent?
are you talking system wise, or cartridge wise??
do us all a favor, and would you please just bother to educate yourself on this ??? go find a FAQ on google about the comparisons of the different aspects of neo collecting.
whatever you do, dont join neo-geo.com asking for help, they will tear you a new one if you ask these sort of questions.
BLAST AWAY AND GO GO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess this answer means that you dont know.
Why do you even bother to answer if you dont want to help or dont know?
Thanks for the help so far tho ;P
You don't need an eeprom burner for the Uni BIOS. If you actually buy the chip from Raz, or get a Raz progged chip from a remmended installer (like me) Raz will upgrade your chip for free or $5, I can't remember which.
The socket allows you to put a replacement for it in yourself, and you never need a modder again. If it's put in the *easy* way, piggybacked, you need to send it to a modder AGAIN, to upgrade your BIOS.
Many of the older, Debug modded AES's floating around have the chips piggybacked, so you can't upgrade without sending it to an installer. You need it done by an installer who does it right the first time. In a socket. which is much more difficult to do, but some installers do the extra work, to make sure your baby is done right.
These are REALLY noob questions, about MVS and AES for example.
