NEO Myth MD 3in1 flash cartridge

SEGA CD
CD BIOS (PLAY ANY REGION GAME CD )
CD BACK RAM

This feature doesn't seem to exist. I was able to run a Mega-CDII BIOS from the menu but after displaying the Mega-CD logo, it just froze. I have to take out the Myth cart to use my Mega-CDII. I can only hope they or someone else adds that feature through software. Dr.neo has stated that they will release the menu source code.

It's still cool without that. USB is great and it works on Windows 7. It's my first MD flash cart. The hardware has great potential, it just needs better software.

Sounds like false advertising then.

But hey knowing that the source code for the menu is going to be released makes me happy,
maybe someone will make a nice menu with little icons and stuff, kinda like the Super Wildcard DX had.

with a little 32X icon and Sega CD icon, SMS icon, etc.

hell maybe even add action replay and game-genie options.

Any motivation in wanting this cart has officially disappeared until someone modifies that source to work properly.:(

Please post a link to the source code here once it surfaces folks. ;)

Well, to me it seems that these missing features might be implemented soon-ish with firmware updates (i.e. menu updates). I read that Game Genie support is planned but atm it is listed as not yet implemented.

You're right though that SCD support is listed as already supported but actually isn't, as of now. Still, I am sure it might be implemented sooner or later.

I think I will pass on this one. I already have a FM-chipped SMS, two flashcarts (one with S-RAM, one with Mega-CD BIOSes) and money to buy the games I want instead of getting illegal ROMs to play on my Mega Drive.

I see, so those 2 flashcarts you have are somehow different to this flashcart?

Yes. I've written some texts you may read if you want:

Mega Cart - I bought this so I could play foreign MCD games on my system.

MD-Pro - I bought this for... well, THIS.

I read those 2 pages and i still don't understand why you would say that your flashcards are any different,
in the end both can run translated roms and hopefully with a menu fix the NEO cart owners can also boot different Sega CD bios files.
(which was promised to us to begin with)

so again i ask, why are you so morally superior while both flashcards can do the same thing?

well?

While i wait for your answer i will play some translated Bare Knuckle III and some translated Phantasy Star 1 (with fm sound and save option)

or should i play some Monster World IV? i love MW4.

I'd also like to know if there are any benefit to those other cards, I think that $150 is kind of steep but considering everything you can do with the NEO Myth card it becomes easy to justify the expense.

MegaCart definitely has a benefit over the Myth cart: multi region support for your SCD. (well, that and its lower price + beautiful packaging)

If you want Master System with FM sound then the Neo Myth 3-in-1 is the one you want.

Oh, I wasn't aware you couldn't use it for region free SEGA CD gaming, or at least not yet. I hope that gets resolved soon.

I didn't say they were different, but they were released much earlier and I bought them. I don't know what you mean with "morally superior" but I didn't buy them to never buy any real MD carts again, I actually have the original MWIV, King Colossus etc.

I am interested in this, but it seems almost as if products like these are only made by those who speak little English and have dodgy support. Why can't people in the US make something like this? Why is it always China or somesuch? I want something that works with USB only (parallel ports are for Nazis) and has a program that installs on the computer and does what it is supposed to do and doesn't need to have certain install files manually manipulated (like DLL files or whatever) for it to run properly. Granted, if a ROM is bad and doesn't work, that is the ROM's fault. But I really don't see why it should be so hard to make a competent flashing program, though apparently it is judging by the issues people are having in this thread.

Also, can someone please post a recoding of the "distorted" FM sound from Phantasy Star 1? If the FM is weird, that is a deal-breaker.

It is okay but could be better (cleaner). Once TmEE figured out a fix/mod, I am sure that NeoTeam will use it for their next batch.

Same for the flashing program: It's a beta and buggy and doesn't have all planned features yet. I hope and think that this will change sooner or later.
