NeoGeo CDZ Emulator Alpha 1

[shadowprophet]

Those guys at neocdz (http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psp/index.html#download_alpha) must never sleep! Because they have done it again!

Here is all the information I could find about this exciting release. Credit for the translation of the readme goes to Jeff C (http://pspupdates.qj.net/NEOGEO-Emulator-for-PSP-Alpha-1-Unleashed/pg/49/aid/55944) And he has our thanks!

Now on to The translated readme.

Only supporting the compressed ROM set for MAME 0.106.

Clone set containing home purpose ROM is not supported.

Protected/encrypted ROM set is not supported.

Games with special input port or dip switch are not supported.

Due to the lack of memory on the PSP, only the ROM sets smaller 128Mbit (16MB) are supported. (I haven't tested the upper limit of the supported ROM size)

There may still be some ROM sets that cannot be started even they comply with the conditions above.Info from Read Me.

Thanx Jeff C for the translation :cool:

I had been hoping for this for a very long time, Thank

Samurai Shodown / Samurai Spirits work perfectly

[Voltron]

Soooo is this the tried and true NeoGeo CDZ EMU with Neo Geo Cart (ROM) support? Or something totally different than the EMU that plays Neo Geo CD games?

[mameuser]

Zed Blade / Operation Ragnarok work with full speed

I just get the same error everytime with all games

sp-s2.sp1 can't be found - it's there though

[mameuser]

neo bomberman work great

[rehbock]

Same here but my bios is ok (testet on pc versions)
hope it will be fixed in the newer versions..

[O-bake]

maybe your bios is ok, but not for MAME 0.106

[Eternal-Blue]

I just get the same error everytime with all games

sp-s2.sp1 can't be found - it's there though

You forgot the neogeo.zip (bios roms ect.) or its not proper.


Edit: Check the roms and neogeo.zip with romcenter and dat file für mame 106

[O-bake]

The Games are really running fullspeed, even better than the cd-versions, i think.
Really impressive!
I hope there will be something like dynamic loading in the future, so that every rom-size will be supported.

The GP2X-Version of NeoGeo has a tool that strips the graphic-files out of the roms for dynamic/seperate loading to support bigger rom-sizes.

[Baboon]

This sounds very exciting! I'm just gutted I cant have a play with this till I finish work later today. :(

Full speed arcade neo geo... how fookin cool is that?!! :D

[Plowking]

neogeo.zip is there, with the proper files in it, and I downloaded a few versions and tried them all.

Might be an eloader problem, on firmware 2.0

[mameuser]

Hope a Virtual Memory for neogeo psp will be out, than all game will be support
King Of Fighter 2003
SVC Chaos

[mameuser]

Today is a good day for PSP

First was n64 emulator R5 and now neogeo arcade

Only if a CPS2 emulator also release for PSP.

Long live PSP

[Baboon]

Has anybody got this working on firmware above 2.01?

I really hope this works for 2.6!

[odino]

neogeo.zip is there, with the proper files in it, and I downloaded a few versions and tried them all.

Might be an eloader problem, on firmware 2.0

But your rom(for example samurai shodown) is in .bin format or .rom format?

[Plowking]

But your rom(for example samurai shodown) is in .bin format or .rom format?

All of the ones I have are in .rom format.

I downloaded the latest emu, alpha 2 and still no joy (its on the makers website)

Could someone send me their bios files, if that's allowed, if not sorry for asking.

[addowannapeea]

where do u get these games, and how do u put them on the psp?

I can´t believe it. GREAT emu!!!

[NiGame]

whats the max size of the roms this emulator can use? because all my neo cd roms are from 50 - 70 meg

[Baboon]

:) it works fine with my 2.01.
I can´t believe it. GREAT emu!!!

Thanks v much for letting me know. :D

I finish work in a bit, then its off home to watch the football and play neo geo!

[Plowking]

I can't get it to work, but you dont use the neo CD files...you use the normal neo geo roms.

Same games, but different file set (more games too).

[odino]

Your bios is correct but this emu accept only the .bin format.;) Convert your romset with clrmame.

[pspcross]

and you don't need bin files

the zipped roms are fine

i have tried

neo mr do
last resort
fatal fury 1
league bowling
samurai showdown
supersidekicks ( graphics are messed up but runs)

i aslo get a could not allocate region3 memory

but i think these games may just be too big

one was shocktroopers2 ( 28mb)

other is neogeocup 98 ( 9.7mb)

you can but try

cheers

[Voltron]

Does anyone know if this can play Blazing Star Neo Geo ROM? I believe this is the sequal to Pulstar and one of the best shooters for Neo Geo.

Also, if someone could clarify.... Will the same Neo Geo CD bios that allows CDZ to play CD games work for playing regular Neo Geo games?

[ACID]

Hi where do we put the bios do we unzipe them and put them in the roms or do we just put the zipped bios folder in the rom set

[ACID]

[QUOTE=pspcross]and you don't need bin files

the zipped roms are fine

How did you set the bios in the romscan you help:)

[aleborri]

Awesome news, I'll check it out tomorrow and test some games :)

Now I only need a mame4all release and this will be an incredible day for PSP emu scene :P

[pspcross]

blazing star is too big i think about 20+ mb

this can only do 16 mb max apparently

also the bios goes zipped into the roms folder along with any game roms

update

burning fight also works ok

[ACID]

Ok this is killing me. It doesnt work can some one help this is what i get and i have a 1.50 psp

when i try to load a game it keeps on saying saving memorycard and saving SRAM.
then it says loading zedblade and sp-s2.sp1 and it keeps on switching back and forth does eanybody have an idea of why

[Eternal-Blue]

Alpha 2 is now aviable.

[ACID]

Alpha 2 is now aviable.
How r you getting the emu to work can some one help:(

[Illegal Machine]

THIS IS NOT A CDZ UPDATE



IT IS ITS OWN THING. NOT neo geo CDZ

or is it?


I threw the eboot in my CDZ folder and it ****ed it allll up.

[fucht017]

this Emulator is based on the AES (Advanced Entertainment System) and the MVS (Multi Video System)....The big and expensive cartridges(but worth every penny)....This is so GREAT!....Thanks NJ.

[pspcross]

firstly this is not an update of neo cd!!!

it is for the arcade version of the same games though.

the files are much smaller about 10 times approx.

you need the game files zipped in the roms folder and you also need the arcade neogeo bios ( from google).

just set up the folders it shows in the readme file.

look at earlier posts for games that work.

finally is games won't load.try restarting the EMU.

this clears the memory. i found that if you load a game the leave it back to the menu and try to load the same game again it won't work sometimes.

this is because the memory fills up quickly.

in general alot of games work fine.

hope this helps

i am running this on bock with 2.5 firmware BTW!!!

i amhaving the exact same problem....can sum1 plz help:o

[Jsr_101918]

to people getting the ,sp-s2.sp1, error make sure you have the bios (neogeo.zip). If that doesnt work then unzip the neogeo.zip file and rename the following files.

NG-LO.ROM should be named 000-LO.LO
NG-SFIX.ROM should be named SFIX.SFX
NEO-GEO.ROM should be named SP-S2.SP1

now rezip the file.

[ACID]

where do u get these games, and how do u put them on the psp?
g
Im sure it is polisies of the forum not to give linxs to roms

[oninotsume]

First of all, isn't this emulator the shiznit? I use the CDZ version all the time and love it, but I never expected this Alpha version for the MVS to run so well.

Unfortunately it looks like the developer isn't really trying to find a way to load large roms. Looking at his website he says that he almost got KOF to load, but ran out of memory with just 128Kbytes left.

What really intrigues me is that the memory limit of the PSP seems to be the crux of all emulators from MAME to NeoGeo, but Strnmn of Deadalus fame whipped up some kind of program to load massive N64 roms, seemingly without any trouble.

I wonder if this technology can be applied to other emulators as well? Perhaps we should all drop Strmn a line and see if his code is applicable for other types of emulators.

PM for you ;)

[Guderian]

Forgive my question but are there any instructions on how to install it?
