The Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System) home console was released on July 1, 1991 and the Neo Geo MVS (Multi Video System) arcade system was first released by SNK Corporation on January 1990 in Japan and on August 22, 1990 in NA. MVS and AES are technically the same systems, but their cartridges are not compatible with each other due to a different layout. It was retailed for $649.99 ($1,244.85 in 2018 money). It had a Motorola 68000 at 12MHz and a Zilog Z80A at 4MHz with 64KB RAM and 84KB VRAM.

Neo Geo CD (NG-CD) was the CD version of the AES (not compatible with the game cartridges)

Hyper Neo-Geo 64 (HNG-64) was the successor to the Neo-Geo with 3D graphics, no home console release.

When emulating Neo-Geo games with RetroArch, the Neo-Geo BIOS files need to be in the game directory.

Emulation issues

  • Hyper Neo-Geo 64 is poorly emulated.
