Homebrew neogeo emulators on wii questions

[Tall Alien]

1. do i have to convert them to .neo, like neoDS?
2. does it emulate mame games, or the neogeo console?
3. how well does it run?

 

[slaphappygamer]

you must use the mame roms for this. see the "romfc" dir for the proper rom name. also, it runs very well.

 

[Tall Alien]

also, do i put it in a folder in the "apps" folder, or in the root

 

[djdynamite123]

read the readme!

 

[aaron91]

What are the extensions for ROMs for the original Neo Geo carts? I know thats not what gxgeo uses I was just wondering if anyone knew.

Tall Alien:

this emulators loads roms zipped with a .rom or .bin extension...... .bin seems to work better.

check in the romsrc for the file list required to play a certain game.

do us a favor, stop crying, be a man and read the readme included with the emulator
QUOTE-[ INSTALLATION ]-

Extract the zip on to your SD card :
/sd/apps/gxgeo
/sd/gxgeo/conf
/sd/gxgeo/romrc
/sd/gxgeo/roms
/sd/gxgeo/save

The romrc contains information about ROM sets, if you only
put the .rc files for the ROMs you have in that folder gxgeo
will load faster

Your ROMs (zipped) and BIOS (unzipped) files should go in /sd/gxgeo/roms
required files
000-lo.lo (ng-lo.rom)
sfix.sfx (ng-sfix.rom)
country files (neo-geo.rom)
usa_2slt.bin - USA
vs-bios.rom - Japan
asia-s3.rom - Asia
sp-s2.sp1 - Europe
system files
aes-bios.bin - A.E.S:
uni-bios.rom - Uni Bios

follow all that steps carefully, if you don't find a file, use google
check the romrc file associated with your rom and see if your zip content matches
that's really not that hard

oh, and be sure your sdcard is formated with FAT, not FAT32, it often leads to problem

 

[djdynamite123]

dam right there Jacobeian

 

[Tall Alien]

what about my problem? only 1 romset appears!

 

[Jacobeian]

what about my problem? only 1 romset appears!

check if the .rc files for that roms are in the /romrc directory
check if the zipped rom files in the /roms directory are valid zip files

obviously, .zip and .rc filenames should match (in your case, samsho4.zip & svcplus.zip), as well as .zip content and .rc description (222-xx.bin, svc-xx.rom & svc_xx.rom), beware of underscore and files extension...

 

[kevenz]

I can tell you that Snk Vs Capcom won't work for now because it's too big for the Wii RAM.

ok then why does it work on neoDS? o_0

actually i meant samurai showdown 5

but i have to open up the .rc?

 

[Jacobeian]

because it's a different emulator ? you know, like two different programs with different compatibilities and features

but i have to open up the .rc?

i know, I know, I'm a genius , i used my ultra-secret tool to open .rc files, it's called notepad

note that there are 2 versions of samsho5:

your zip filename and content should matches one of these
anyway, I think samurai showdown 5 is too big also, use smaller roms

PS: I now understand the marketers that created homebreware, etc... there is REALLY some money to do

 

[kevenz]

25mbs zipped is the maximum the emulator can handle at the moment.... bigger than that will result as code dump.

Yeah that's right, there is a conning way that can handle larger roms, with some sort of app that gets all the roms graphics into a file, and gxgeo can handle it, just the graphics go a bit bad, blizzo told me, best not to do it, goes fucked up, hopefully a new release sometime.

 

[kevenz]

I hope he finds a way to do it....... I think it's already possible on the NDS and PSP to play the bigger games so it should be possible on the Wii.

 

[Jacobeian]

sure it's possible ... but you need to code it and this takes time,considering most devs have also work/uni/family and do not spend their loosy time on forums hitting F5 like us... just be patient
