Hey guys. I picked up an absolute steal NEOGEO AES during my Japan visit for an absolute bargain. Problem is, it’s loose. I’m absolutely stoked to see a serial this low.

Is this a super collectible thing to have a low serial? This looks to be just over the 1000th neo geo made for Japan?

I bought it loose so I plan to pick up a NeoCD controller, hd Retrovision Genesis adapter, and a power supply.

It looks like 5V DC, 3 amp center negative brick is what I’m after.

What gotchas do I need to look out for with this bad boy?

Thanks in advance :)
