The Neo Geo is getting a modern makeover, and it looks like the real deal.
If you’ve been following the rumors around the upcoming Neo Geo AES+ from Plaion, it’s time to stop holding your breath and start getting excited. FPGA legend Jotego recently sat down for an interview, and he dropped some serious truth bombs that suggest this isn’t just another cheap emulator in a fancy box.
The secret sauce? This system is being built using an ASIC spun off directly from the MiSTer FPGA core. To put it simply: it’s the same DNA as the legendary hardware, just streamlined into a single chip. We’re talking about a “Genesis 2” level of evolution rather than a total rewrite.
Here is why your retro setup should be nervous (in a good way):
- Visual Perfection: Jotego worked specifically on ensuring the RGB output and colors are as faithful to the original hardware as humanly possible.
- Zero Lag: The controller pins wire directly to the ASIC, meaning button presses translate to screen movement in real-time. No input delay here.
- Sonic Accuracy: The audio circuits have been custom-tailored to mimic that iconic Neo Geo sound.
The best part? Jotego teased that another console is already on the way. We don’t know what it is yet, but the retro hardware renaissance is officially in full swing.
