Retro gaming aficionado, racketboy, hits us with
this exciting news:
Somebody started a thread on the Neo-Geo.com messageboards claiming to have started a project that will basically
take ROMs from Neo-Geo AES/MVS games and converting them into Neo-Geo CD games. There is a major interest in this
since:
1. The original carts are expensive and people a looking for a cheap way to play the best games on the Neo-Geo
console.
2. The Dreamcast has a couple excellent Neo-Geo CD emulators (and it can't handle most regular Neo-Geo ROMs).
3. It's just plain cool.
IF this does work out, I see this as a huge development in the Dreamcast scene. The Dreamcast already has an excellent
library of 2D games (especially fighters) in addition to its 3D games. But if you add on the Neo-Geo's classic library,
the Dreamcast would be a 2D gamer's paradise! Eventually we might be able to hack together self-booting discs of every
Neo-Geo game to play on Sega's little white box. How cool is that!
