Our take on the USB4NEO

The USB4NEO is a plug-in adapter that lets you use modern USB gamepads, arcade sticks and mice on a Neo Geo AES, CD or MVS console, or on a supergun wired to the Neo Geo standard. It plugs straight into the console's joystick port and maps the standard four Neo Geo buttons plus two extra buttons for six total, which suits supergun setups. It is a niche accessory with few direct rivals, and its main draw is letting you keep using the controllers you already own instead of hunting down original Neo Geo sticks. Firmware updates are possible over USB, and the same A-to-A cable works with the maker's other adapters.

About the USB4NEO

USB4NEO is a USB controller and mouse adapter for the Neo Geo and Supergun setups. It plugs directly into the joystick port of a Neo Geo AES, CD or MVS console, so USB gamepads, joysticks and mice work on the system. It works with the vast majority of USB HID controllers and mice, and with Superguns wired to the Neo Geo standard.

It supports the 4 standard Neo Geo buttons plus 2 extra buttons often used with Supergun setups, for 6 buttons in total. It has two optimized pad layouts (Pad A and Pad B), and Custom Controls mode lets you remap the face buttons and the 2 extra buttons to any button on your controller. Remaps are saved across power cycles. Turbo fire can be toggled per button.

For mouse input, Mouse Joystick mode gives directional control, and Mouse Spinner/Paddle mode uses a 7-bit binary counter protocol designed for Hypernoid and compatible games. Holding Select opens the settings, so no button combos are needed at power on. Firmware updates are done by connecting a male USB-A to USB-A cable and dragging and dropping the file. The project is open source and built on the RP2354A microcontroller and the Joypad OS framework.

Questions and answers

What consoles does the USB4NEO work with?
It works with the Neo Geo AES, Neo Geo CD and MVS, and with superguns wired to the Neo Geo standard. It is not made for other consoles.
How many buttons does it support?
It supports the four standard Neo Geo buttons plus two extra buttons commonly used on superguns, for six total. The extra two are only useful on setups that use them.
Do I need the cable version?
The cable is only for firmware updates. If you already own a male USB-A to USB-A cable, the adapter alone is enough, and one cable covers several adapters.
Does it work with a mouse?
Yes. USB mice work alongside USB gamepads and joysticks, which suits trackball-style or mouse-driven games.
Can I update its firmware?
Yes, over USB using a male USB-A to USB-A cable. The same cable also works with the maker's USB4AMI and USB4JAG adapters.
When does it ship?
Orders are taken in preorder rounds, with the second round shipping in late October to early November. Expect a wait rather than same-day dispatch.
Where is the USB4NEO cheapest?
At Retro Frog, for $34.00, as of our latest check.
