I tried it for neoraine, yes it's much better now. With nebula the game was in japanese, but now it's in english, do you know why that is? The loading screens are still there, but they are not black anymore, it seems that neocd games just have a lot of loading screens. Most likely is has to do with the region switch of the emulated console, similar to what the actual Neo-Geo arcade games had. Yes, Neo-Geo CD games have a lot of loading screens and in most games when played on the original hardware, the loading screens are excruciatingly long. This makes the CD versions often far worse than their MVS or AES counterparts. As far as Last Blade 2 CD is concerned, you don't really get anything else except the arranged soundtrack - even though many consider the CD version to be the definite version because of the arranged soundtrack. According to http://snk.wikia.com/wiki/The_Last_Blade_2...sive_Characters The NeoCD version seems to have a lot of additional content? When I tried it, it had POWER, SPEED and EX modes, the arcade version doesn't seem to have the EX mode. Do you know what it does?
