Hello

I Name is Icer/Eric I just wanted to introduce myself. I have a Neo Geo Pocket Color Collection, that I started back in 05 or 06, then I put my collection on hiatus in 08 due to college and then starting my career 2 years ago. The Last item I was able to acquire was the Pocket linker.

Let's see, a few things about me, I love Technology, Computers, Phones, Linux, Cars, etc
How did I get here?
I was googling around and came across this thread when I looked up Pocket Linker to get the software again though I wont be able to get it up and running on my 64bit System lol. Thus I am Now here and am looking forward to buying a LinkMasta in the coming Months.

Heres a Picture of my Collection thus far, Soon to add a few items Hopefully.

One thing that has always bugged me about the NGPC is the god-awful LCD. It's very dim and highly reflective.

Does anyone have more details about the display (interface, dimensions, operating voltage, etc)? Are there any mass-manufactored display modules that would be a good fit as a replacement? It would be really neat if the original display could be replaced with a backlit, high-contrast TFT display (preferably with some anti-glare coating), similar to how some people have modded their GameGears.

Have any of you played it? I just finished it (including the 50 level dungeon) today. Took a few hours and was quite entertaining.

WOW I just found this today! Don't know if you guys have seen it but SNK is producing the Neo Geo X and its coming out this December! Holy cow! They have pre-order bonuses available on amazon that comes with 20 free AES games!

Hey guys I just won a NGPC off ebay. Brand new in box with manual... box... WHITE box... according to the description on ebay its different than normal,

"This is so cool, especially for Neo Geo collectors. This is a special version of the Neo Geo Color system.
See, when Playmore took over SNK and killed off their console aspirations, they was still left with some Neo Geo Color stock.
So they repackaged the systems into these white boxes and sprinkled them throughout Japan into crane games (the Japanese call them UFO machines) to be eventually won.
That was the ONLY way you could get this version of the machine in the white box... to fly to Japan, find a crane game that had one in it, and then win it.
The Neo Pocket itself is in new condition. No scratches, no marks (of the wolves... that's an SNK joke), just beautiful like if you were to go back in time and buy one new. Comes complete with instructions and even the little plastic baggy to go around the unit, and the cardboard that sits on top of the unit protecting the thumb stick clicky controller. Mint, complete.
This is from my personal, private collection."

seems cool!

Has anyone else noticed that the NeoGeo Pocket Color patents are all due to expire next year in September?

There is not a huge significance to this, but just an interesting fact about the age of the NGPC. Might be cool to release some homebrew or something on the same day the patent expires.

Here's a bit of fun with two French guys playing Sega MegaDrive / Genesis, and getting shocked whenever they fail. Check out the video at the top [you can turn on English subtitles]. Below is a detailed explanation of this elaborate modification, along with code, the debug ROM and schematics. All in French, though.

Sorry for not posting more often, but I don't have much time in my personal life...
I thought I would share this with you, as some french vg site managed to get a Magician Lord cart for NGPC.
Indeed, I spoke once with one of the journalist that told me he tried the game as one of his friends used to work for ADK. This was a few years ago and thought that I would never see the game.
But today they released this article, with screenshots and videos.

Being in French most of you won't understandd the article, but the truth is that it does not contain much. Lots of speculation. What is interesting:
-Game modes are: Start, Time Attack and Item Get. Only Start is working.
-This is an early alpha/beta. It has no music, no bosses and no savepoints.
-It is very short, it takes 10 minutes to go through all the screens.
