@Johnboy- could you post pics or reply what type of PROG BD was used for GEKKANOKENSHI [Wed Nov 19 14:12:11 1997] and GEKKANOKENSHI [Mon Dec 01 16:33:47 1997] - those would be the public ones.  also been trying to track down a pic of SAMURAISPIRITSZANKUROU [Fri Oct 27 11:58:51 1995] [NEO-MVS PROGSS3] [NEO-MVS CHA256].  just need the pics for my own personal records.  think ah'm over documenting the DATs a bit of late.

thanks a GIGA,
Donald

@hotaru: I will make some new shots of NGH-234 (lastbldh) and MVS-234 (lastblad) and post them here.

Your work sounds interesting, can you post it?

Thx

Use NGH instead of AES.

The (older, US) home releases are officially named (SNK releases) like this:

NGH-XXX

I found this at ~ 10 home carts.

As an off topic here: The naming chaos of Neo Geo can be easily solved like this:

Home releases: NGH-XXX
Arcade releases: MVS-XXX
Bootleg releases: MVS-XXXBL

...

And as we live 2007 a.d., 8.3 naming convention can go to h**l  :wink:.

it should be much better use .mvs .aes or mbl as extensions instead of .bin, since the name match the chipset name itself.

@Johnboy- recently lost all my data to a FAT32 - NTFS conversion error.  not to worry will start from scratch as time permits - college and all that jazz.  the work?  if you can call it that.  in short there is a revision date recorded in the program ROM that can be read through a simple byte swap.  this date is not always recorded in the P1 and said date's format may differ if coded by a company other than SNK say PSiKYO for instance.

very much like and appreciate the idea of distinguishing b/w NEO-AEG and NEO-MVS systems.  my naming convention that to be sure none else will adopt follows the board layout i.e.
Code: [Select]
GEKKANOKENSHI [Wed Nov 19 14:12:11 1997]

234-C1.C1
234-C2.C2
234-C3.C3
234-C4.C4
234-C5.C5
234-C6.C6
234-M1.M1
234-P1.P1
234-S1.S1
234-P2.SP2
234-V1.V1
234-V2.V2
234-V3.V3
234-V4.V4
redundant?  sure.  better documented than MAME?  damn skippy. ;)
