TuberViejuner analyses the Neo Geo AES+: new in 2026 without emulation?
Popular channel TuberViejuner puts the Neo Geo AES+ to the test and digs into its ASIC hardware: is it really like the original or is there a catch?
The channel TuberViejuner, one of the leading retrogaming references in Spanish, has published its analysis of the Neo Geo AES+, asking the question we all have: can hardware built in 2026 truly be faithful to the hardware of the 90s?
No emulation: 90s hardware reimagined
The analysis focuses on the console's ASIC chip, a modern reimplementation of the original circuit, comparing the AES+ against an original Neo Geo AES across several titles.
Original cartridge compatibility
The AES+ reads original cartridges without issue, making it an interesting option for collectors who want to play their original library on modern TVs.
Conclusion
TuberViejuner concludes that the Neo Geo AES+ is a solid proposition for fans of original hardware, though he recommends researching cartridge prices carefully before buying.
