The Neo Geo AES (Advanced Entertainment System) home console and the Neo Geo MVS (Multi Video System) arcade system was first released by SNK Playmore on January 1990 in Japan. MVS and AES are technically the same systems, but their cartridges are not compatible with each other due to a different layout.

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.
