Title: NEOGEO Pocket Color
Post by: whatzcrackn on April 26, 2007, 04:09:10 pm

Is this thing worth anything? 

Is it mod-able?  Other the light enhancement?

I just bout one for $10.00 and dont really know anything about it.  Thx!

Na, they go pretty cheap these days. I bought one back in the day when they came out. Pretty fun little handheld. Metal Slug is pretty good on it. The only problem is that it only has 2 buttons instead of the 4 on the other Neo Geo systems.

I enjoyed the fighters on that system.
The lack of 4 buttons required you
to do long and short presses for different
strength attacks. It worked ok, but they
were the best handheld fighters of that era.
Neopop emulates all these games now.
So you can see which ones you like.

Yeah, I was wonder about the 2 vs 4 button thing.  I got four games with too, so hopefully I did not waste ten dollars.  I'm not expecting a whole lot but just wanted to know if the carts can be emulated on the neogeo pocket itself.

The NGPC can be a lot of fun.  Of all the handhelds I've owned, this one has the best control pad.

I have an extra flash card floating around in my overfull parts cabinet if you'd be interested.

There appears to be a Neo Geo Pocket linker (backup device).
Hopefully igboo can get you one.
I've been searching and have yet to find one.
Everything points to Lik-Sang, but they're dead now.

Here is a sight that has a little program
so you can run multiple roms on just one flash card.
