I just ordered one, arrives tomorrow. It looks fantastic and will be a great addition to my collection.

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

I have really enjoyed mine

[@DrinkGameswithJosh]

That is very cool man! Prehistoric Isle looked awesome! Never seen anyone play that game before. Definitely a hidden gem! A lot of great games on this thing too. Sweet machine!🍻🤙🏼

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

Thanks for watching dude! Prehistoric isle is a blast for sure.

[@jeffreycharest9093]

Neo Turf Masters and Prehistoric Isle are two of my favorites. Really cool hack. I stayed away from getting one because I looked at it as basically a cash grab at the time. With the hack I wouldn’t have to worry about that. I just might be in the market for one very soon because of your awesome video here Joel. Pumping out great content per usual.

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

Thank you man! Thanks for watching. Out of all the NeoGeo products they have released in the past few years this one’s the best.

[@KindaCool]

I never even realized the hack installed the unibios on there too! That’s awesome!

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

It is awesome. I wish I knew a little more about it and would have highlighted it more. Thanks for watching!

[@DadRacer]

Super cool. I always thought this system was probably the best value in retro gaming ever since you first debuted it. And to be able to have the entire library-wow!

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

Thanks for watching brother! Yeah it’s a great value that just gets better with this hack. It was a great investment for sure.

[@chrishorst1318]

I think any number of Pandora's boxes beat this in price, processing power, and build quality being metallic with plastic led lit surfaces and optional sanwa stick/buttons.

[@TheGameroomAwakens]

Well done! Being able to hack these stand alone classic style releases is the only reason I find them appealing. Gotta have a good menu though which this seems to have. I really don't like when these are hacked into text-only lists of games rather than with the artwork. 😁👍

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

Thank you sir! Yeah this one has a great menu and was ver easy to hack. It’s a great device. Thanks for watching and posting.

Are you talking about Capcom VS SNK 2 because judging by the system they're using, it's probably not powerful enough to run NAOMI Board games (which CvS 1 & 2 were designed on)

When this came out I was trying to decide to buy it, or neogeo mini, or capcom home arcade, or pandoras box 3d. As a fellow poor gamer who wants alot of games with best processing I opted for pandoras box 3d. Lower cost with more games and power. Its ironic capcom and neogeo copied the very uniquely Chinese creation of Pandora's boxes. Ive seen this trend eksewhere in tech over the yrs where rather than China being copy cats they are innovating and being copied by western brands whom never match the low price and quality, just like the situation i mentioned above.

[@Banjo-Oz]

What is the best way to add just a few games? I really don't want thousands of random games especially other consoles like SNES, Genesis, etc. on my stick as I have other systems for those. I just want to add some "missing" NeoGeo games to this and maybe some non-SNK arcade games?

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

You can go to SNK website and around download 20 or so games and them to the ASP.

[@Naimskus]

Have you tried kof 2003 and matrimelee? They dont work for me. Also metal slug 3 is not working on my hacked stick

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

They work on mine. I just double checked. I'm not sure way they aren't working for you.

[@0xfade0ff]

I just wonder: on my NeoGeo ASP, Metal Slug X (unlocked through the official key) shows totally corrupted graphics in the 1st level. The other parts seem to run fine. Is this an issue with my device only or a common problem?

[@ThePoorMansRetroGameRoom]

I haven’t had that issue. This isn’t technical advice but you could do a factory reset and unlock and reinstall Hylo and see if that fixes the issue. I can’t take responsibility on this though just a thought.

[@0xfade0ff]

I don't have the issue with the Hylo mod, but with the original ASP. The 20 additional games from the SNK site unlocked fine, but Metal Slug X shows graphic corruption. I did a factory reset and unlocked the 20 games again but this didn't fix it. I also found a few comments about this here and there in some forums over the world, but am surprised that none of the KZbin reviews of the ASP seems to mention the corrupted official version of Metal Slug X.

My review: it's a great product, _but I never use it._ I own two of them: they gather dust. Does that mean it's a bad product? No, but be honest with yourself: you may be buying something that is too niche for you to use it, and that overlaps with the functionality of other products that you already have. And yeah, BTW, Neo Geo is now (officially) emulated (in professional software by SNK themselves) on mobile phones, _legally and officially:_ the "ACA" series (of recent and still ongoing re-releases) in the Android shop.
