I guess it is time we start neglecting our wives, kids, girlfriends, pets...

If you thought the SD2SNES and the 64drive were expensive, think twice. Totally worth it though :v

Don't get me wrong, compared to the games themselves it's a steal, but it seems really high compared to even the most expensive Everdrives...
They are probably chargibng as much as they can to make up for R&D costs/time so it is understandable though, and with Neo geo it's kind of charge what you want, people will buy anyways.
If anything maybe it will get cheaper over time.
IT's neo geo, what do you expect. This is the same system where a common game runs $100. IF you want Neo on the cheap, you either emulate or get a 161 in 1 MVS multicart.
LOL it wouldn't be the authentic Neo Geo experience if it didn't cost an outrageous amount.
START neglecting?!
Sorry, I forgot some of us started neglecting them long ago, haha!
If I still had my MVS I would be all over this.
But alas, I don't so emulation it is
I love how you have to buy the cartridge shell seperately
That's how almost all Everdrives are. Shells have to be customized to allow a SD card slot, so you can usually opt to modify your own, or buy one already modified.

Oh ok, i dont have any everdrives

They're nifty! I don't think this item is specifically an Everdrive, but looks like the same principle. But yeah, I usually modify my own instead of paying extra.
Is it true the NEOSD's game load time (from sd card to FPGA) takes like 3-5mins?
Also distinctly raises the appeal of the 1-slot machines.

Makes sense to me. People with arcade machines have no use for a shell. Just load it up, plug it in (adapt it?), and never remove it.
Will this work on an NEO GEO AES home system?
not without an adapter
They should make an AES version

No, it's MVS only. Given how complex the NEOSD is, I for one really doubt it would work in a typical MVS converter. It might work with the Daedalus converter, but that thing costs almost as much as the NEOSD. If you have an AES, you'd be better off getting a CMVS instead.
Using flash instead of sdram is an interesting choice. Is there a spec of how many minutes it takes to burn a game?
That is puzzling. I thought it was strange already for the Everdrive series when older products like Bung Professor SF7 and Doctor V64 / V64jr used RAM. In something like this with large ROM sizes and where expectations might be set by the instant switching of the multi-game machines, I'd expect speed to be a priority.

I thought the hardware was pretty much identical other than the size of the pin connector?
I'm sure an AES version will come out eventually. I just got a non working red cab for free so this really appeals to me but I have to get the cab working first.

Nah there are cheap games in the $30-$50 range...world heroes, puzzle bobble, fatal fury.

I suppose if you consider $30-50 to be a cheap purchase, and for the record the AES versions are not even that cheap (more like $70 and up). If that were any system other than the Neo-Geo those would be considered mid-tier titles.

For the systems library they are cheap - in the grand scheme of games maybe not. AES is a whole different monster for sure!

except the flash cart is for MVS, so what does AES value have to do with it?

I only mentioned AES because you had brought it up.
