Man, the NEOGEO CD is too slow! Can I put in an 8x CD-ROM drive in my NEOGEO CD?
Well, it may depend on one’s computer skills, as it depends on wiring the CD interface to the controller on the NEOGEO CD.. But all that work may be for naught, because most of the access time depends on what speed the games are produced at. Most are still produced at 1x,so anything higher than a 6x or 8x drive is not necessary at all. A 4x drive may not be necessary, so unfortunately one is stuck with slow access times. The translation itself is EXTREMELY difficult, and only one place (MAS Systems) has pulled off a translation. And, it was a Saturn-CDZ, which had no speed increase in it at all. With the advent of Neo CD emulation, load times are extremely fast and games have no slowdown whatsoever. CD games are worth buying if only to play with an emulator, because the emulators currently out are that good. I would actually suggest selling the original system and playing the games with an emulator if possible, as they (NeoCD I think is the name of my favorite) blow away the original’s
