What is a NEOGEO or NEOGEO CD, and what are the specs for it?
The NEOGEO is a near-exact copy of SNK’s MVS arcade hardware (except for board pinouts, of which they are rearranged), with MVS standing for MULTI-VIDEO SYSTEM. SNK usually makes games in this order: MVS Cartridge (all games are made on this format, no matter if they are released or not), Home Cartridge, and NeoGeo CD. Remember that there are very few games that are CD only, or are MVS only; but all CD games have MVS prototypes with FM synthesis music, such as Oshidashi Zintrick.Arcade operators have the MVS boards set up to where one can play up to 6 games (can access different ones with a push of the button) while standing at one machine. There are also 4 game, 2 game (2 monitor), 2 game (1 monitor) and single units. Specs are below: Processor: Motorola 68000 (12 Mhz, 16-bit), Zilog-80A (4 Mhz, 8-bit) (Technically a 16-bit machine, not 24-bit) Resolution: 320×224 Color Palette: 65,536 Maximum Colors On-Screen: 4,096 Maximum Sprites On-Screen: 380 Minimum Sprite Size: 1×2 Maximum Spri
