Yep *slaps NEO-BUF* this thing can slow down CD access to a tenth the speed of a floppy drive. Just the thing to keep people interested in cartridges for $300 apiece.

That never happened to me

To be fair only about 2/3rds of the chips failed. Factory started bodging them out eventually.

Take a good look folks, it's not often you see a chip that was designed and built solely so some incompetent could justify their existence, that managed to fail at the one task it was built for. It's almost amazing that they managed to turn two working logic chips into a broken package. They had one job.

>>12850949
>only 67% failed
That seems like a lot.

The one job was to make the NGCD unattractive next to the cart AES. And they did a great job.

Man that one dopey Arab prince is gonna get mad and rage itt.

this chip is the reason you need to keep your finger on the fast forward button when emulating ngcd

This toxic positivity thing on /vr/ lately is getting tiresome. Go back to r/retrogaming, people are allowed to be critical here.

Anon, you're responding to a serial shitposter who posts from their smartphone so they can avoid bans.
His shtick is always the same, and he can be baited out by posting just about anything the least bit technical. Then he appears to insult and imply you know nothing, while never ever explaining why he thinks you are wrong(because he doesn't actually know anything), and accuse you of getting your info off of google/wikipedia/AI. He used to throw the term dunning-kruger out a lot, but he stopped after people started recognizing him because of it. You can tell it's him because he will go line by line like this.

He pops up every now and then in the romhack/homebrew general.

Well, NEO-BUF was supposed to be the buffer, they used a cheap CD mechanism without one. But the chips were ass and mostly died and eventually they just bodged them so... oof.

I know. "Let's make this thing a bit shit so people will pony up for the AES and its $350 carts! And then let's make a 100 foot tall dinosaur!"

They actually did build the dinosaur, I don't have a pic of it sadly. But I've seen it posted here before.

sega cd gave it another cpu to load data in the background. neo geo cd's 7mb couldn't keep up with kof99, garou and metal slug 3

sad losers of 4chan inventing their own version of reality. lmao. does this actually work or do people have to be dumber than you to believe it? we all know you're replying to yourself. anyway..

it's always great to watch you have a spastic fit when anons utterly destroy you with basic facts not from the land of schizophrenia.

>sega cd gave it another cpu to load data in the background
not the main reason why it has another cpu. and besides that, megacd read into a tiny cache. a 6502 with the same cache (or smaller) could have been used and the loading times would be the same. the extra cpu was added to help expand the graphical capabilities of the system

>neo geo cd's 7mb
had nothing to do with it. cd-rom was just far too slow.

what a disaster of a thread.

... to load into the 7mb ram "cartridge" thanks for proving my point
