This tool allows you to make / create / generate a correct game.bin.z file from your favorite NeoGeo game romset (MAME/NeoRAGEx) for be able to inject them into the first-generation of the new NeoGeo VC games for Wii which game file uses a strange type of ZLIB compression (NOT CRUSH / CR00 compression) in its game.bin.z (ex., KOF95, KOF97, Samurai Shodown III, Samurai Shodown IV, etc.)

Well, the most interesting features are:

  • Posibility to make correct game.bin.z Neo Geo VC files for inject them in new Neo-Geo VC WADs of first generation of game.bin.z compression.
  • Auto-detection of size of each group of files (P, M, V, S, C) for make the header-generation easier ;)
  • Compatibility with Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and x64 bits Windows OS :D
Special thanks to @sr_corsario (for the NG injection on new Wii VC WADs info and also for some code based in his old tool), syring (for the UnxUtils split.exe splitting tool), Dirk Paehl (for the SimplyZip ZLIB compression tool), @stev418 from @0RANGECHiCKEN (for the game.bin.z compression info), @G0dLiKe (for the interest in game.bin.z compression found on KOF97), kikex-box and the SpekSNK community (for the NeoGeo to NeoGeo CD Graphics Converter), @waninkoko (for the NeoGeo Byte Swapper), the uCON64 team (for the uCON64 tool), and @Zorg1996 (for the big Wii VC injection support to me) for the help and also for pushing me to make this tool. :)
