Could this be you on the left ? lol
Neo Geo AES+ (new console)

- Start date

Typical YouTube hyperbole there! It's a prototype sat behind glass in a store in Tokyo. But still interesting!
The main things of note: HDMI and regular S-Video AV out on the back. Looks like it powers off USB-C? Otherwise looks very identical to the originals, other than the "AES+" logo.
Good find!
That's a DIN port. Same as the Neo Geo which outputs RGB and composite through it. Mentioned on the other AES+ thread.
Can these two threads get merged?

Will it have scanline generator built in over hdmi?

Just ordered the standard package from Smyths toy store
Hope so as i can’t stand the look of old consoles on modern tvs, but I have just ordered a hdmi scanline generator off AliExpress to test with my Atari 7800+ so if the aes+ doesn’t have it in software that may be an option

i have the same one chubsta. I actually watch alot of old 80s hong kong films and anime through it. its a good back up incase i dont get the results from inbuilt scanlines
Good to know, it was only just under £30 so not a big risk but you can’t beat a personal review

It's great to see how hyped everyone is about this new system and games releases.
I've been tempted but don't see the point when I have the original AES and MVS, it'll sit on the shelf and I'll have regret

Was wondering the same. Only thing I spotted was official description says switches on the bottom of the console for 'choosing different display modes'. Not sure what it means, and if it's filters,.4:3, scanlines or what. Really hope it's something like that as those great sprites can look dreadful when in high resolution.

A new CRT production run would be amazing, but I doubt it'd ever happen due to the millions involved in setting it all up (plus the joys of certifying X-rays, inefficiency, lead etc). Suppose you could pretend you had some for sale, then use the masses of interest to secure funding...
I bet most folk wouldn't be arsed about broadcast-quality CRTs too, the beauty is sometimes in the imperfections.
We all think we want that but we wouldn't like the cost. CRTs were cheap when existing factories were squeezing out the last dregs. Imagine the fresh investment today. Can't see enough interest to kick anything off once a price tag is visible. They'd turn every 'retro gaming TV' on ebay into a bargain.
I think China has the right idea of manufacturing chassis for recycled tubes and selling cheap 'new' sets. I'd love a more expensive version of that with higher quality. Even then would we ever get the quality we used to again?
