I got my CDZ console in the mail and loving it. What worries me is that I hear the system has a tendency to burnout over time due to the lack of ventilation. Is there some truth to this? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

Why spend so much money for all NEO-GEO consoles and Panasonic 3DO?Those consoles should of been sold $70.00 each,each game sold for $30.00 and each controller sold for $30.00 in order to beat Nintendo,SONY and SEGA.
The PlayStation loading times were about half of this was, still isn't bad, but that might be because I was used to it because I was around then when it was new, still it isn't bad, there is no point in complaining.
Nice review. Neo-Geo was every boys wet dream after going home from the arcades thinking how their snes/genesis was crap compared to this ( for arcade games anyway). You sound a bit like Ray Romano you know that?
@taftarat As I continue to watch this review, after replying to your comment already...I'm more and more amazed at what a sheltered, ignorant ass you must be to make such a comment. And I know I'm not the only person thinking this.... :-)
@taftarat Dude, it's the NeoGeo! What more needs to be said to justify it? If you don't care for retro gaming, that's cool, not everybody does. Maybe you didn't grow up playing these games and therefore have no nostalgia towards them, but many of us do, myself included.
@taftarat You're entitled to your opinion dude, I don't begrudge you that. Take a look at the number of views and subscribers for channels such as CGR and it's obvious that many of us do give a shit about 90's game consoles. But hey, to each his own.
on the neo geo CD, you liked how it does NOT have a button to open the door, yet on here, you talk about the CDZ having handy open button and how cool it is..
wtf dude.. at least be consistent. we already have to stand the annoying background music all throughout the damn video.. -.-
Why is it people who keep this stupid over heating myth going keep quoting word for word stuff of wiki? its BS so unless you have had one of these cdz's that somehow melted lol dont say anything at all :)
Hmm, he pointed out in the normal Neo Geo cd review that it looks like a sega saturn, but does anyone think that the cdz looks like a dreamcast... sort of?
You know what's sad? That those old game consoles are malfunctioning after years.
I've got a PSX (SCPH - 9002) from my friend that can play copies. I tried to play my original Crash Bandicoot 3 on it, but it freezes. I hope I can buy a new laser for it so I can play my newly bought Time Crisis :D
@LordCiemnosciEXE the PSX was the only console I ever ran into any problems with. My NES, Genesis, SNES, Gameboy Pocket, and N64 all still work fine with no issues.
The funny thing is, kids now are complaining about "Load Times" on Xbox 360 and PS3. These new cd-based consoles load so fast compared to older cd-based consoles, it's not even funny.
@DukeNukem2020 It's just not healthy to want everything so damn fast. They got the god freakin' damn console after nagging daddy for 5 minutes, and then they can't take a minute plus from their lives. This is simply bad.
@DukeNukem2020 really they are? I dont even think there are load times anymore or they do somthing in the load times street fighter 4 the guy talks and stuff. but no games ever have has a black screen that says loading. I was never bothered by load times as a kid though.
@DukeNukem2020 neither the XBOX 360 or PS3 are CD based. The XBOX uses DVD's and the PS3 DVD's or Blueray disks. Also both offer the option of installing games to a Hard Drive which further reduces game load times.
ALSO(!) both consoles offer games via download onto their Hard Drives (still Disk drives though).
Even better(!) you can play games & media from flash drives which have no moving parts!
@timlaman Well, do you know what DVDs and Bluerays are based off from? Yes, you guessed it...CDs. CDs, HD-DVDs, DVDs, Blue-rays have all the same format, the difference is size and quality. You must be a kid that never lived through the ages like me and InecomCompany have. But my point is that there are still loading times for games based from CDs. I've been around since the Sega Master System age so I know what I'm talking about. Go back watching Irate Gamer's stupidity. lol.
@DukeNukem2020 To show them how much of a greedy bastard they can be, I show them my Sega Saturn and Atari 2600. Then I tell them to be happppppppppy.
@DukeNukem2020 The longest load-times I've experienced are the installation times on Metal Gear Solid 4. Really, though, I'm prepared to wait a bit for my games; I hate a pet hate for people with no patience.
@SuperNESFreak haha, you're lucky. The longest I've had to wait was during the original Playstation age(1995), and those games loaded 3x as long, at least for a fast loader.
@DukeNukem2020 im 14 and im a retro console collector and well i love my genesis and my atari 2600, the loading time offcourse is a shit, but i love it also becouse then i can go to the kitchen and grab some coca !
@darkdevil905 lol the sega genesis and atari 2600 are cartridge based there are no loading times! Cartridge games don't load, they build. Everything is always being built, and the build times are 1/100 the time of a loading time with a disc.
@DukeNukem2020 CD based consoles!? The PS3 uses Blu-Rays and DVDs. While the 360 uses DVDs. the newest (popular) system to actually use CDs would be the Dreamcast. And also the load times on new games can be crappy I mean look at Sonic '06!
@yoshinator2000 Gawd, you're a freaking Dumbarse. DVDs and Blu-Rays are a CD FORMAT. THEY ARE A COMPACT DISC! What else are they, a CASSETE? No wait, they could be BETA MAX. What are schools teaching kids now? Did you know that they're called Blu-Ray DISC and Digital Video DISC(DVD)? They're just higher formats of a CD. It's like saying that Navy Blue isn't a shade of Blue.
@DukeNukem2020 Yeah I'm the dumbass that is why you freak out over CDs. And for the record I know a lot about CDs and other related things. I know that they are both forms of discs, but they are completely different things to people that are not as smart as me or you, because of their different uses in media.
@CaptFat123 Remember there were games that were multi-cd like Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil 2, and so on? I kind of liked games that were 3 or 4 CDs long, Kind of made me feel like the game was going to be a long game. I'm kind of glad Final Fantasy XIII was 3 cds long, brought back memories.
@DukeNukem2020 I remember Gran Turismo 2 coming out on two discs, also Command & Conquer Red Alert for the pc. Loading times weren't bad, but heck the game was so awesome it had TWO discs! xD
@TeamRocketReviews How old are you. Cassettes never, or very rarely, "Loaded". The only ones to ever load were the 64DD(which was a zip disc thing) and the Famicom disc drive(which was a floppy disc). But I never owned a cassette that never loaded.
@DukeNukem2020 The ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and many other computers from the 80's. The cassette format was more popular in Europe. Over here in America, most Commodore 64 users had floppy drives, which were much faster. Cassettes were a lot cheaper, and most European game developers standardized on cassettes.
@TeamRocketReviews Usually floppy discs did load since they were like a mini disc in a way. But why would a cassete load? There's no lense, moving parts, nothing. It plugs directly into the motherboard. Well, the commordore 64 was a pc in a way.
@TeamRocketReviews Even though I'm 30 and I think it's a waste of money to upgrade your computer every 5 months to play the newest game, I know why a game would "Load" and not.
That does sound interesting! I'm willing to bet, though, that this model was released only in Japan. I heard that the Neo-Geo CD was released in the USA but it virtually didn't sell at all.
@jowrab Well, some preffere to play on the actual console and use the actual controller. Not to mention Emulators are illegal. That's why most sites tell you to actually own the game. As then you can defend the use of the rom as a backup, since you already payed for said game. But in all cases, Roms are illegal. Luckily, game companies haven't taken any actions against the users/makers of emulators and roms.
@SakuraAvalon who says emulation is illegal it all depends on what your emulating ps3 xbox 360 ect but snes sega all fair game them companys dont make money from these products anymore and have you seen anyone charged for emulation?
@rhodesy71 It is illegal, companies just won't hassle you for it, because it'd cost WAY to much money and time to find these sites and battle with them just to stop you from stealing old stuff.
It's an ilegal action that has no consequences, because it'd cost to much to pursue the people who emulate.
@SakuraAvalon who says emulation is illegal it all depends on what your emulating ps3 xbox 360 ect but snes sega all fair game them companys dont make money from these products anymore and have you seen anyone charged for emulation?like you say they dont bother
@rhodesy71 that actually doesnt matter if they wanted to be gay and caught you with say 5 snes roms you dont own they could sue you with quite a few law suits
can anyone help me remember what console im thinking of. they ported resident evil 4 to it but it had its graphics downgraded quite a bit and it had othergames for it to but i cant remember what the console is called
@PhantomOfTheGamer no dude not a nintendo wii, it was like kinda a knockoff type system not any system everyone knows about. i forget the console but it had kinda nintendo 64/xbox1 type graphics
@PsiloCybinDreamX xbox 1 is far superior than a n64 not that iam knocking the 64 excelent machine but the xbox is probably 4 to 6 times the power of 64 try playing doom 3 half-life 2 ect on a n64?
i wouldn't say the CDZ is all that rare, i got mine on ebay... there were a whole lot of them available, cost me around $120. Not too bad for a Neo Geo i would say.
Because these are really rare now so if you do find one it is going to be pricy, either save up for one or settle for a standard CD, they are less rare and therefore, less expensive. Mark doesnt even own the one in the video, he borrowed it, so he can not even really afford one or can find one.
Thanks for the speed comparison. I just bought a cdz off of ebay after owning the original top-loader model from its launch. Its a great system; sturdy and got lots of enjoyment out of it. The original system is great for the older games. But bought the cdz for the fighting game discs. Would have loved to see a speed comparison with some of the King of Fighters CDs or even Samurai Shodown 2.
AbhiB Is not that its going to blow nothing its just gonna freeze and the fan mod is for hardcore gamers that give the poor CDZ long rides. If your is new or barely use you dont need that, just get it in a ventilated cool area.
@lordkaicer i don't get why the CD and Z can overheat so much. the thing has the same CPUs as the Genesis and SegaCD, and you don't hear about THOSE overheating. it's not like they're clocked THAT much faster...
i really think both consoles are just poorly ventilated honestly.
Yes it has faster loading time but it has a lot of crashes too, because lack of ventilation and heating. If you want to take the CDZ to the real level you have to do a fan mod or whatever mod you may come with for ventilation. Just give it a 2 an a half hour of non stop play and you will eventually see it. I better stay wi th the neo geo cd and the consolize mvs.
@lordkaicer i call bull!!! i own a CDZ and its crashed maybe 3 times in 5 years and i can you for a fact when i use it its on for a good 2 to 3 hours!!!! my 360 and PS3 have crashed and coursed my way more problems lol....
the overheating rumor was and always will be a stupid made up myth! think about it how the hell does a 24bit console with a super slow 1x cd drive overheat? and it had more vents then both the PS1 and saturn (PS1 hasnt even got vents haha)
If you really want to get into the Neo Geo scene get an MVS or a consolized MVS. The games are way way cheap on the MVS side of things and still no load times.
Nice video. I am actually thinking of selling my Neo Geo AES with two controllers and two games to buy a Neo Geo CDZ. I was wondering if you have a Neo Geo AES and if you would be interested buying mine. I am asking $400 or best offer not including for the system,two controllers,two games, and a memory card. Thank you for your time.
I made the mistake of buying the CDZ not knowing that it was Japanese only so all my games are in japanese, but it's an awesome system if you love the SNK games.
@parloitaliano1 It wasn't a complete success. Providing the AES/MVS on the home was expensive at making and expensive on the shelves. The CD move was a cost cutting move to prevent high price tags.
Probably a consolized MVS system would be the best. Not as expensive as an AES, not as cheap as CD(still hard to find though). But the games are much cheaper and no loading times or lag from an MVS to AES converter!
@jdigitalseven I have consolized Mv_1f with REI mod and unibios3.0. But I kinda lazy to complete the collection since the value-less of the mvs carts.
I know this wasn't the case with the AES, but with the CDZ if u put an American game into it will it be in English? Or will it be the language the system was encoded with?
The CDZ just had a larger amount of cache, the CD-ROM motor is still only a 1x speed CD-ROM.
BTW, I don't know if this has been mentioned in the previous comments here, but the CDZ has a design flaw which sometimes causes the unit to overheat after certain periods of time. Because of a lack of adequate ventilation, there is a serious risk of permanent damage that can occur to the circuit board.
the neo-geo cdz is kinda like the model 2 genesis, improving on the first one in many ways!

@Nirond
Because these are really rare now so if you do find one it is going to be pricy, either save up for one or settle for a standard CD, they are less rare and therefore, less expensive. Mark doesnt even own the one in the video, he borrowed it, so he can not even really afford one or can find one.

Thanks for the speed comparison. I just bought a cdz off of ebay after owning the original top-loader model from its launch. Its a great system; sturdy and got lots of enjoyment out of it. The original system is great for the older games. But bought the cdz for the fighting game discs. Would have loved to see a speed comparison with some of the King of Fighters CDs or even Samurai Shodown 2.

AbhiB Is not that its going to blow nothing its just gonna freeze and the fan mod is for hardcore gamers that give the poor CDZ long rides. If your is new or barely use you dont need that, just get it in a ventilated cool area.

@lordkaicer i don't get why the CD and Z can overheat so much. the thing has the same CPUs as the Genesis and SegaCD, and you don't hear about THOSE overheating. it's not like they're clocked THAT much faster...
i really think both consoles are just poorly ventilated honestly.

AbhiB 1 year ago
Yes it has faster loading time but it has a lot of crashes too, because lack of ventilation and heating. If you want to take the CDZ to the real level you have to do a fan mod or whatever mod you may come with for ventilation. Just give it a 2 an a half hour of non stop play and you will eventually see it. I better stay wi th the neo geo cd and the consolize mvs.
lordkaicer 1 year ago
@lordkaicer
I have a neo CD and CDZ BUT never played the Z
so I need a fan, just to play it for 2 crummy hours only, so what without it, it will last what 30 mins
and what happens anyway, do it blow a circuit if you play it longer than nesscary ?
AbhiB 1 year ago
@lordkaicer i call bull!!! i own a CDZ and its crashed maybe 3 times in 5 years and i can you for a fact when i use it its on for a good 2 to 3 hours!!!! my 360 and PS3 have crashed and coursed my way more problems lol....
the overheating rumor was and always will be a stupid made up myth! think about it how the hell does a 24bit console with a super slow 1x cd drive overheat? and it had more vents then both the PS1 and saturn (PS1 hasnt even got vents haha)
froggydarren 4 months ago
If you really want to get into the Neo Geo scene get an MVS or a consolized MVS. The games are way way cheap on the MVS side of things and still no load times.

Nice video. I am actually thinking of selling my Neo Geo AES with two controllers and two games to buy a Neo Geo CDZ. I was wondering if you have a Neo Geo AES and if you would be interested buying mine. I am asking $400 or best offer not including for the system,two controllers,two games, and a memory card. Thank you for your time.

if the AES was successful, why they released a CD CONSOLE ..SYSTEM ?
parloitaliano1 1 year ago
@parloitaliano1 It wasn't a complete success. Providing the AES/MVS on the home was expensive at making and expensive on the shelves. The CD move was a cost cutting move to prevent high price tags.

Probably a consolized MVS system would be the best. Not as expensive as an AES, not as cheap as CD(still hard to find though). But the games are much cheaper and no loading times or lag from an MVS to AES converter!

Gaming's superior format will always be the cartridge, they need to go back to those bad boys.
As a matter of fact, I've seen flash drives with like 64 gigs on them, way more than a dvd that we put games on now.

lightdark28 1 year ago
the Neo Geo CD is a cool console though in all honesty, quite a few Neo Geo games released at the time were ported onto other systems.
most of the Neo Geo ports on the Sega Saturn are arcade perfect or nearly arcade perfect and have much faster loading times.
Games like metal slug, king of fighters 95/96/97 ,and a few fatal fury games were some of the best fighting games on the Saturn.
lightdark28 1 year ago
@ ViciousAlienKlown,
The CDZ just had a larger amount of cache, the CD-ROM motor is still only a 1x speed CD-ROM.
BTW, I don't know if this has been mentioned in the previous comments here, but the CDZ has a design flaw which sometimes causes the unit to overheat after certain periods of time. Because of a lack of adequate ventilation, there is a serious risk of permanent damage that can occur to the circuit board.
