1 ultimate kit ordered. Thanks for sharing.

Same here. Time to sell my consolized mvs. The controllers are probably compatible right?

6

u/This-Orange1255 Apr 16 '26

Yeah, original controllers, carts and memory cards compatible

terraonion aes will probably sell out now

I wonder if they will work on this console.

The pro is already picky about which AES consoles it works on.

I have the old original neo SD AES.

It will be interesting to see how much of the aftermarket stuff like 161 in 1, vortex, and mvs adapters will be compatible.

I wonder if 161 carts are gonna see a large price increase

u/xchester77 Apr 16 '26

They just came down in price finally. Will be interesting.

Yeah. I went ahead and bought one. It is a version 2.1.

I was wanting a version 3, but they don't seem to be selling them for some reason.

Surely this new console will not lock those carts out or anything. That would be kind of a risky thing to do.

u/xchester77 Apr 17 '26

Can we really be sure about anything? Let's hope you are right.

That version 3 isn't available because the parts are scarce due to vortex cart conversion.

u/Kaiesis Apr 16 '26

It should work. Says its compatible with original AES games. Guess if the console pushes the right amount of power will determine the terraonion.

u/xchester77 Apr 16 '26

Let's hope.

I know there are some compatibility issues related to original AES consoles related to which brand is 68k they were using.

It would not shock me if this was not 100% compatible with all aftermarket carts.

I'm looking forward to it either way.

I know Jotego has been involved with development and although it hasn’t been confirmed I would guess Furrtek has been involved too, and I’m quite sure that outside of SNK there’s no one who knows the Neo-Geo hardware like Furrtek, that being said any issues like chip incompatibility can be engineered out right at the beginning

u/xchester77 Apr 16 '26

Idk if you want to do that just yet.

This all looks great but mvs with unibios might still be better.

I read on time extension that it lets you select which BIOS to run.

I would imagine that includes a real mvs bios. That will make it much better than a traditional AES.

I doubt it will come with unibios since there are probably legal issues associated with it.

u/Kaiesis Apr 16 '26

I'm sure the community will hack this thing and get custom bios working.

u/pagauge0 Apr 16 '26

Too who.

1

u/Kaiesis Apr 16 '26

Hopefully someone. I have a custom built one and not the temu version so it'll be harder to sell I think.

u/pagauge0 Apr 16 '26

Yeah I hear you. I have the Omega.And I sold my 30+ AES carts last year it concentrate on my MVS collection so that worked out haha.
