its no run on supercard lite?a green screen appears and go to a screen with various collors and after go a screen with strange options...
1. download his software, say you put it in c:\neods, it will look like this:
c:\neods\NeoDs.ds
c:\neods\arm7\
c:\neods\arm9\
c:\neods\common\
c:\neods\cyclone2
c:\neods\NeoDsConvert
2. For an example we will get metal slug working. Place your mslug.zip file and neogeo.zip file inside the c:\neods\NeoDsConvert directory. The rom zip must be a valid mame rom, and the neogeo bios must be the latest bios.
3. inside windows go to Start menu --> Run --> and type in "cmd" and hit enter, a DOS prompt will appear.
4. type in the following commands when the DOS prompt appears:
1. c: [enter]
2. cd neods [enter]
3. cd NeoDsConvert [enter]
5. Once you are in the c:\neods\neodsconvert directory type the following command: (make sure you placed the rom and bios in this directorty as indicated in step 2)
neodsconvert -bios1
You will see a bunch of conversion stuff fly by in the dos window. if you are returned to a dos prompt with no errors, everything is a success.
6. close the DOS window and explore in windows back to c:\neods\NeoDsConvert , 2 new files will have been created by the converter, mslug.neo , and neogeo.neo.
7. finnaly copy mslug.neo neogeo.neo AND NeoDs.nds (found at c:\neods\NeoDs.ds ) to THE ROOT of your memory card. It will not load up if these 3 files are not in the root of your card.
8. turn on DS, run NeoDs.ds.
9. select mslug rom inside the emulator and press start
10. Game should be running
Man thank you, u don't imagine how you help me out ^_^Quote:

Oh yeah, and ingramb, you did a freaking hell of a good work here, congrats!
Wow! Thanks a bunch juiceface! I'll try it out!
Great tutorial, but you can put the NeoDS.nds file anywhere, but it only looks for roms in the root.Quote:

But thank you juiceface, that is much more thorough than my instructions :)
After following juiceface's very well written tutorial I still can't get the games to work. The files were properly converted (with the "-bios1" flag) but all I get is either a wonderful seizure-causing flashing screen, or an inconclusive black screen. (I waited for about 4 minutes on the blank black screen)
Is it because I have a Max Media Dock? I DLDI patch, so.....I don't know what is wrong.
I guess I'll just have to wait for the next release and hope that works..... *sigh* V_V

To people who have got kof98 working, which bios number did you guys apply, I tried 6 and pops up with the grid screen.
Ok still not getting it to work guys...
Tried juiceface's tutorial but still no luck, on the command prompt i type C: then i type in cd neods and then it comes up saying it can't find the directory?
And whats this bios-1 thing all about? i have the mame bios which brings up a black screen on my ds when loaded...
For me and others like me can someone make an even simpler tutorial explaining everything please :-)
paul
Just make a shortcut of NeoDsConvert.exe, right click it and add -bios1 to the target. Like this "C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\Desktop\NeoGeo\NeoDs\NeoDsConver t\NeoDsConvert.exe" -bios1. Put neogeo.zip(neogeo bios, don't extract) and your zipped games like lresort.zip in the same folder NeoDs\NeoDsConvert and then run your shortcut with the -bios1 added to target. Remember it is a space then the -bios1.
No need to use the command prompt.
You can also put NeoDsConvert.exe and all your games.zip in a folder then create a .txt file, open it and type:
NeoDsConvert.exe -bios1
Close it and save, rename the extension .txt to .bat and run the .bat instead of NeoDsConvert.exe, it will automatically convert all your games in the folder. You can try bios6 for metal slug for exemple, with japanese bios the blood is red!
Wow, wow, wow. An amazing achievement! I really had to see this to believe it. Still not sure I do, given how fantastically it works as a first version.
You must be an amazing coder. Thanks hugely!
Can't wait to test it at home, I have a SC + Superkey...
Anyone have problem with SC ?
hi i have also problem load game on supercard sd slot-2 big,
neods loads ok, shows games but on loading it freezes..hm
ingramb Thank You!!!!!
I never thought neo-geo would be able to be emulated! First a Genesis with sound and now this! This is a great time for ds homebrew!
Ok, maybe this can help a bit, since i finally managed to get some games running.
Rembember when it was said that the games MUST be MAME compatible? Well, it really does.
How can you check if your game have chaces on running on NeoDS? Open the zip file, and check the files extension. If they are .rom, they WON'T work. They MUST be .bin, ok?
I tried Metal Slug, Capitain Tomaday and Cyber Lip, and they worked great (aside the MS granade bug).
And no, you don't need the neogeo.neo file on your cart.
So far, Metal Slug 2 does not work (hangs after character selection, with background music playing)
And on another notice, the -bios5 parameter is calling the debug bios instead the japan mentioned on the readme, but it seems to change from game to game.
BTW, i'm using R4. Didn't test on my G6 Lite, tough.
> Is it because I have a Max Media Dock?
I have a Max Media Dock CF, and it works. Could be a problem with your roms.
> How can you check if your game have chaces on running on NeoDS?
The BEST way to see if they have a chance of running is to download MAME, and see if your games run there. If MAME can't run them, you have no chance.
> And on another notice, the -bios5 parameter is calling the debug bios instead the japan mentioned on the readme, but it seems to change from game to game.
The -bios option is just broken :o Will be fixed soon.
Thanks for this fantastic Emulator, works great on my R4 DS. Don't have any problems with bios-5 either, but I only tried half a dozen games so far. It would be great if it was possible to access the Test Menu, so that you can switch to red blood in the Metal Slug games.
i have mame roms, and also friend send me winjamm working .neo file and its not working either on my supercard sd slot-2 , anyone with the same problem? hm :(
ok it's sure,on the SC (my is rumble),this emu DOESN'T work.
Care to walk us through the steps you've taken so far?Quote:

When you say "it's not working", are you referring to the NeoDS.nds file not loading/running, or the winjamm.neo not working?
alright you guys, if you're having problems just post here with:
Card:
Roms Used:
Bios Applied:
Steps you Took:
What Happens on the Screen:
that way we can help you out easier =D
Some compability Info:
Neo Driftout, Zedblade and Riding Hero didn't work.
Neo Driftout and Riding Hero crash after pressing start and Zedblade didn't boot up correct.
All of my Neo Geo roms are MAME compatible. I know they are.Quote:

Call me stupid, but I've never played, nor even seen a Neo Geo before. Sounds like a great system. My question is: do you use Neo Geo roms or Neo Geo CD roms? I've found both. Also, is there a size limit on the games?
ok i try this:
supercard sd slot2 big blue card
neods.nds patched with scsd.dldi and scsdmoon.dldi
i try run neods from moonshell, dsorgan, cardmenu
and i try winjamm.neo which is 100perc working, i also try kof94,96,sidekick4
its still the same..emu loads up OK
emu shows roms and i can start it but
laoding game... appears and nothing else..it must be some bug hmmm
what steps did you use to create your .neo files? did you run the neodsconvert using the -bios1 flags? do you have the latest neogeo.zip when you run neodsconvert ? what is are the filenames and the filesizes (in bytes) of the contents of neogeo.zipQuote:

winjamm.neo rom sent by friend which is WORKING for him FOR SURE! :) so it cant be wrong
so it must be something incomp. with supercard..hm ?
Anybody's gotten KOF98/World Heroes (any) to work properly? I really want to play these.
I'm curious if the .neo files created using the current converter will work in future releases, or should I keep the backup .zip files on hand in case I need to re-convert for future NeoDS releases?
Keep your .zip files. The *.neo format may change in future releases.
Just played (and lost) the first level of KOF98 on my M3 DS Simply so that one seems to be good.Quote:

As mentioned Metal Slug X and Blazing Star are also good on this amazing first release.
can anyone tell me what the newest NEOGEO bios is? I found one that was from 1990 and one that was all .rom files... (anyone know where I could locate the Bios?)
OK, here's my issue with the emulator
Card: R4DS
ROMs Used: KOF94, Metal Slug, Blazing Star
Bios Used: I dunno, I just stuck the whole folder
Steps I Took:
I created a special folder used to covert the Neo Geo ROMs. In that folder, I put the converter and the entire Neo Geo BIOS zip file in there. I put some of the game ROMs and managed to succesfully convert them to .neo files. Also, these were MAME-compatible ROMs as well.
I then stuck the converted game ROMs into the root directory of my R4 along with the emulator.
I tried it out, and the emulator loads up just fine, but the games just don't load up for some reason. All I see is a black top screen.
Also, I'm wondering if there's anything I need to put on my flash card, besides the emulator and the ROMs?
First of all:
Ingramb, you are my hero. You've made a dream come true.
I have 2 flashcards:
- CycloDS Evolution: runs easy, no need to patch DLDI.
- Supercard SD (slot2): tried with auto-DLDI function, tried to patch with Chishm version of DLDI and tried to patch with Moonlight version. It worked for me only after I patched with Chishm DLDI and deleted the dldi.scp (the auto dldi file from Supercard) from my SD.
Tested the following games:
King of Fighters 94: perfect
King of Fighters 98: perfect
Metal Slug: slowdown on crowded screens and freezes when uses granades
Metal Slug X: perfect, only slowdown on crowded screens
Sonic Wings 2: perfect, but sound freezes
Sonic Wings 3: perfect, but sound freezes
Ghost Pilot: perfect
Overtop: perfect
Mutant Nation: perfect
Robo Army: perfect
Neo Drift Out: Freezes when the game will start.
Convert your roms with the parameter -bios1Quote:

Executed NeoDs.nds from sc's menu and from moonshell -> top screen is white, bottom screen is black
what's wrong with it ?! :(
need someone who can provide me a patched file which works for sclite D:
wooooohoooo!!!!
Incredible project! work fine on my supercard cf! A test it with 11 games and all work's perfect, at full speed and sound!
Just a litte question : as this emulator based on a mame version, maybe i'ts possible to play with arcade SNK game like "gang ware", which are'nt real neogeo game?
Sorry, I'm not that computer savvy :(. Could you please explain that layman's terms??? Sorry about this!Quote:
