NeoDS - Neo Geo AES/MVS Emulator

[gingi]

KOF2002 works extremely fast. I expected it to be it playable but slow, nothing like this!
This emulator is amazing

!

Anyone who is into mame/neogeo scene news, know if Atomiswave arcade board is being emulated yet? I would love to try out Neogeo Battle Coliseum, Metal Slug 6 and KOF XI etc.

It's not emulated yet, though the BIOS has been dumped.

BTW, this emu's a real surprise. That's some REAL good optimization work.

okok, after actually reading this thread, I found a couple of people mentioning romsets. So where you get your rom depends on if it will work on NeoDS? What is a romset? Also, how do you test the .neo files in MAME? Sorry if I ask a lot of questions, I'm kinda slow

 

[Another World]

based on the posts i have compiled a list of roms tested so far. i am not a mame person at all, due to the fact that updates always break rom sets. as a result i am not familiar with which games are neogeo games and which aren't. would someone be so kind as to see if this list is complete and if not to add to it by posting or sending me a PM. also which mame rom set is required for these roms. must it be the most current set?

thanks to the following for posting tested rom titles:
khan, captaincold, mr slug, thebobevil, mortys

okok, after actually reading this thread, I found a couple of people mentioning romsets. So where you get your rom depends on if it will work on NeoDS? What is a romset? Also, how do you test the .neo files in MAME? Sorry if I ask a lot of questions, I'm kinda slow

a rom set is just a number attached to a certain collection of working roms. as mame changes so must the roms be updated. the rom set may also be updates as new roms are dumped. to check what roms you have you need the mame dat files and clear mame pro to run them against your roms.

dont delete your original rom zips!

the author wrote on dcemu that the format(conversion to .neo) could change

I have only read the first 6 pages of this thread but i just passed Metal Slug 001 and it ran great. I also had the problem with the grenade throwing, it would freeze before a grenade even hit the ground, funny how it also froze when the demo play was playing and a grenade was thrown. I avoided throwing grenades but i did shoot the missile/cannon/rocket/grenade from the tank and it didn't freeze so the problem must be limited to the grenade. But yes, this is an amazing emulator. I would have never thought it was possible.

Does anyone know if its possible to enter the service menus to for example enable free play or blood in metal slug? Disregard if it has already been addressed in the other posts.

Edit: Makes my avatar proud.

[Tenkaichi]

Humm... any ideas ? I'm trying to run Money Idol (or Puzzle) Exchanger so I converted it to .neo and stuck the NeoDs.nds and miexchng.neo in the root. I can get the rom to pop up in the menu, but then I just get some code on the bottom screen, including:

guiSystemInit complete
Loading MIEXCHNG.NEO...
Loaded Game: miexchng
- > sprites: 40960
- > mask: 0000FFFF
- > rom bank(s): 0
- > sramProtection off
*** PANIC ***
c:/code/NeoGeo/NeoDs/arm9/source/NeoCpu.c: 101
Invalid PC: FF3FFF3F

So... does that mean it just doesn't work?

This only loads up on the bottom screen, top screen is black.

 

[mortys]

In fact, it's you bios zip file which should be bad. Try to find one working with the latest Mame build (just google it)

 

[Marv]

I made a little tool. It's a GUI for NeoDsConvert. With this app you don't need neogeo bios file to convert your roms. Just put NeoDSconvertGUI.exe in folder where you have your MAME neogeo roms, run the app and select a BIOS type using numbers on your keyboard

This version supports only 9 bios files.

Has anyone tested SNK vs. CAPCOM SVC CHAOS Plus (bootleg set 1) yet?

 

[Marv]

SvC Chaos - SNK vs Capcom (JAMMA PCB) - this one works for sure, I tested it. Convert game with eurobios-s1

I am referring to SvC Plus, it has all the unlockable characters from the start. (I think)

I think you've misunderstood what the term GUI means

Didn't think of making my own batch file to exe though : /

 

[Marv]

Haha that's right, but whatever, it works

 

[gbands]

will changing bios fix game freezes?

 

[Marv]

Some games will only work with specified bioses. For example, Garou Mark of the Wolves when converted with -bios1 freezes on 6th battle, converting this game with -bios3 removes that problem.

 

[DivineZeus]

After many tries, i can say the best fighter games are (in my personal order): at first place KOF 2002 (no graphic bugs at all, and very few slowdown), then KOF 2001 (same speed of 2002, but some graphic glitches), and 3rd place for SNK vs Capcom Chaos (runs very well, with occasionally slowdowns)... the best metal slug is number 4 (obviously IMO), nice speed, and no crashes or bugs (first MS freezes with grenades, 2nd doesn't start at all, 3rd freezes at final boss, 5th is very slow but works, and X has the second place, with some graphic bugs)...

BTW thanks again Ingramb for this jewel!
