Laguna, music works fine in KOF98 - check your directories.
I used these games all uncompressed
kof 99: perfect, a little slower with music playing though
samurai showdown 4: perfect
viewpoint: perfect
turfmasters: perfect
real bout fatal fury 2: pefect, a little slower with music enabled
puzzle bobble: no sound or music
metal slug 1 & 2: perfect ( sound great with gatecrasher classics as music to it lol!!)
Great work, the psp is turning out to be a beast of a machine!!
i just want puzzle bobble 2 but i dont own it :confused:
I suspect the reaosn music works for some and not for others may be one of two things:
1) Perhaps some people have zipped their games, and others didn't. So if you have no music, try doing the other and see if it helps.
2) Perhaps people have mp3's encoded at bitrates the emulator doesn't like?
This is a 1st release so there's bound to be bugs. But it's THE most incredible emu for the PSP so far. It proves beyond doubt that 16bit systems can be emulated at full speed with sound without frame skipping on PSP.
Message to YoYoFro!! We are not worthy!!!!Thank you brotha!!!
Ok, does this emu run regular NEO GEO games, like baseball 2020? If so why cant i get around the IPL.TXT?
This is awesome! All the games I had hoped work , do!
And for the people trying to get the music working - the "neocd.mp3" folder goes INSIDE the "game name.zip" folder.
Took me ages to figure it out!
Sweet! thank you! that's the answer I was looking for! I will try this out soon!Quote:

Do you guys know any suggestions on what games works perfectly?
Ok wait wait wait, hold one. So lets say i had a samurai shodown folder, what is inside it right now? before i had neocd.mp3 regular folder and a samurai shodown 2.zip folder, are you saying i have to put the neocd.mp3 inside that zip folder?? I am very confused at what your saying
Put both the neocd.mp3 folder and the samurai showdown 2 zip archive in a new folder entitled "samurai showdown 2", and put that folder in neocdpsp.
I have been getting the IPL.TXT error message and have checked the posts from before. I looked inside the .zip file and see that all the files are xxxxx.rom files and can't find any music file or the "track 1.iso". Does that mean I have to rip the ISO images off the games I own and then zip it again before I put it to the psp?
All the rom files runs fine on a neorage emulator on the computer.
This emulator is awesome! Here are the games I played and the status(all unzipped)
Metal Slug 1 & 2: Perfect!
Pulstar: Perfect, sound and music
Ironclad: runs well, no sound or music though.
Galaxy Fight: runs great, looks fantastic, but only music, no sound.
Blues Journey: sound, but no music. Graphics mess up a lot.
I have a few more that I haven't tried out yet.
do tha game have to be neo geo or neo geo cd .......?????
^Neogeo CD..
i got a metal slug rom but im not sure if is tha right one it dont have no iso files tha files look me like 263-s1.rom is this tha right one
A few more:
League Bowling: works great but no sound or music
Neo DriftOut: You Start a rally then it resets to the games title screen.
Last Resort: Runs Great but no sound or music.
Can some one post how to set up the folders on the psp and how to use this emu as i just get a message saying cant play game then a number (8.......) does any one know what this means am i missing something important.
i have all the folders from the emu and the neocd.bin and a zipped copy of m slug and the mp3s in another folder etc but still get nothing.
please help
Thats a great emulator. Played Last Resort with 60 fps. WOW. The PSP got more power as I thought.
Tested Games:
Art of Fighting 3 (doesnt load, emu locks after small aof titel screen)
Bust-A-Move (60 fps, no sound)
Last Resort (60 fps, no sound)
Now i go and buy an bigger memory stick *EG*
This is brilliant.
Amazing.
ok this might be a no brainer but i didn't figure it out until now.for anyone still having problems,one thing that is not made clear is that what you have to extract is the actual ISO file!
i kept zipping it up and getting the txt error,you just have to extract the files that are INTO the ISO files in the game directory,and then put the mp3 folder in the same directory!
hope this helps,,enjoying metal slug 1-2 right now,this is cool!
If i run the game in a non compressed form all is good, but if run it in zipped form i have always the ipl.txt error.
I think this is a bug.
I keep getting the can't load bin file. I extracted the League Bowling Iso and zipped up the contents. Then i took the mp3 file and put it in a folder. I then added the two files into a zip. Then when i try to play it, it says cant load the .bin file. I checked all the contents of the zip and i found no file with the .bin extension. Maybe i have a bad Iso or am extracting it wrong? Also cheked Kof99 and didn't see any .bin files.
OK. I have been watching this thread for the last two days and no one else seems to be able to put in plain English an "A" to "Z" step guide for this emulator.
Just like so many of you I fiddled with getting this emulator running and through trial and error know how it now works.
Below is a Kiddy Grade version of the steps you need to follow in order to run these games and/or music.
******* Before you start any of these steps, you MUST first aquire the "neocd.bin" bios file from the internet somewhare (since it is copyrighted it is illegal to own and is up to you to find without my help). This boots the emulator and without it you can't do any of the following**************
1. OBTAIN DATA FILES FROM NEO-CD GAME:
(a). this can be done easily if you own a neo-cd game or have a backup of one. (will cover ISO versions in a minute)
(b) put game in your cd drive, "right click" cd drive and choose to "explore" CD game.)
(c) You should see an assortment of file types with these extensions (.PRG, .SPR, etc.) These are the raw game files of the NEO-CD only.
(d) THIS STEP IS ONLY FOR THOSE WITH "ISO" IMAGES OF A NEO-CD GAME. (if you downloaded an image of a neo-cd game you will most likely have some music files and 1 iso image file. make sure that you have either "win-zip" or "winrar" so that you can unpack this ISO image file. "right click" ISO file and choose to "extract files" into a folder using either the "winrar" or "winzip" program. Once done this will give you a folder containing the same files you would get if you had an original Neo-cd and just copied the data files from it like in steps (a) - (c).
2. CREAT THE PROPER FOLDER STRUCTURE FOR FILES:
(a) Now that you have the Raw date files from the CD you need to put them in the proper folder layout.
(b) The emulator itself should have this folder stucture by default before you add any games or music files to it.
(E:\PSP\GAME\neocdpsp) The "E" just represents what drive my psp chose. Yours might be a different letter but the rest should be the same.
(c) Under the "neocdpsp" folder mentioned above you will want to creat a new folder describing what game it is you have the files for.
ex. (E:\PSP\GAME\neocdpsp\King of Fighters 99) It does not matter what folder name you give this, just make sure you can identify wich game folder is which.
(d) You will now want to move the files we aquired in steps (a) - (d) of part 1 of this explination into this fodler. For example I would move all these files into the "King of Fighters 99" folder if that was the game I got from either an original Neo-CD or extracted from the ISO image I found on the NET.
3. QUICK SUMMARY OF WHAT WE HAVE ESSENTIALLY DONE SO FAR.
(a) In real simple terms:
all the steps you have just followed up until this point basicly add up to you copying the Neo-CD game files themselves to a folder for this emulator to recognize. you could run this game now if you want but only the game will play. We have not moved any of the music over to the emulator, so you will basicly be playing a silent version of the game.
4. RUNNING MUSIC WITH THIS EMULATOR:
(a) this part is somewhat tricky as I have gotten mixed results depending on the method of doing it.
(b) I have only tried games with music that have been confirmed to work by other people on this sight so I don't waste time with incompatle games and or music.
(c) The only music I have been able to run successfully is music that I aquired with an ISO image that I downloaded from the internet. I have tried mp3 encoding the music from my original copy of the same game with no good results.
(d) I noticed that the ISO image version of the music is mp3 encoded at a rate of 326kb. No Cue sheet or other text file seems to be needed for the emulator to recognize which song to play when.
(e) sine my mp3 encoding software does not support a kb rate that high I don't have any means to test if this is the only kb rate this emulator supports. Your kind of on your own on this matter.
(f) as far as the folder structure for the music I can explain that to you. You will want to creat a folder called neocd.mp3 under the game folder it relates to. for example (E:\PSP\GAME\neocdpsp\King of Fighters 99\neocd.mp3) This folder belongs under the folder of the game the music is intended for. *** THIS IS A FOLDER CALLED "neocd.mp3" NOT A MUSIC FILE OR OTHER TYPE OF FILE, DON'T GET CONFUSED JUST BECAUSE IT HAS A .MP3 EXTENTION ON ITS NAME*****
(g) lastely, once you have compressed all the music files from a spacific Neo-cd game you will place all the mp3 files in the associated "neocd.mp3" folder for that game.
If all has gone correct, you will be playing your neo games real soon. I cannot guarrantee the music portion of this guide will work for you as I do not know where and how you have aquired the music files for SED game.
Best of luck to you! ^_^
What are some games that you guys would reccomend? I need MOOORE!!!!
im having a hard time finding tha neo geo cd iso can any one help me with this i been looking every where but i cant find it . i can find tha rom but it seem like it dont work ....help
http://www.egameaddiction.com/neogeocd/masterlist.html
This is a list of all Neo Geo CD games.
KOF series, Metal Slug, Last Blade etc. etc. are what the Neo Geo is all about.
Oh! I almost forgot.
Here are a couple of other pointers that will help.
1. once you aquire the "neocd.bin" bios file you will want to put it in the root folder of the emulator. for example E:\PSP\GAME\neocdpsp\King of Fighters 99\neocd.mp3 You would place it in the "neocdpsp" folder so the emulator can recognize it upon startup.
2. If you have downloaded a .zip file for a Neo-Geo game that contains .rom files and not .SPR and .PRG files you have downloaded the CARTRIDGE version of the game and not the CD version. These files will NOT run on this emulator!
3. If you are constently getting .txt and .bin errors I would recomend aquireing another copy of the "neocd.bin" file from a different website as the one you have downloaded may be somewhat deffective.
Good Luck!
i got tha neo bin but can u help me find tha neo geo cd game hook it up with a link to find sum
I don't think links are allowed, but I just used bittorrent. Because it actually has what it says it has.
^If it's not against the rules can you recommend some good torrent sites?
any body got sum iso they wanna share becases im really really having a hard time find this neo geo cd . hit me up on aim at texasboi7126 if your willing to share plesase sum one help me i just wanna play games.......
lol at the last part of your sentence, "i just wanna play games......." that made me chuckle. And no that's against the rules but I don't know if posting links to torrent sites are
I have tested some games during few minutes.
ninja master : perfect
world heroes perfect : perfect
magician lord : sfx+music but there is a blue screen during 2 seconds every one minute
rally chase : working well, with sfx, but without music
ragnagnard : working well, with music, but without sfx
aero fighter 3 : working well, with music, but without sfx
super sidekicks 4 : no sound, no sfx, and graphical issues
pulstar : good, but when you crash your ship you have no more the music
last blade 2 : working well, sprites disapear sometimes during 2 seconds
samurai shodown 4 : working well, a little graphical issue with the background sky
twinkle star sprites : perfect
I am new here too, but have frequented many other forums with these same kinds of topics. They are considered very sticky topcis and could cause legal action to be taken against the webmasters for disbursement of information that would lead tot he aquiring of copyrighted content.
I would tread lightly in your quest to find these game images, as too many questions or requests could get you banned from this sight or get someone else banned for just wanting to help you and post illegal information or links.
90% of the homework has been done for you. I have been collecting roms for well over 12 years now and you learn from experience what is ok to ask for and what is not.
When doing these google or yahoo searches you also start to learn other ways of asking the same question and you may find that it brings about a different search result.
Mix and match terms, sometimes trying to locate a single title is easier than locating a library of them. Even if you only find a couple images, through those pages there may be links to other pages they got their images from. Think of it as a brain teaser treasure hunt.
SAVY.
well sorry for asking those qustions can any body gives me sum good key word to type in gooles then that well help

p2p programs. Not sure if saying the name of one is against the rules or not, so I won't.
^ im pretty sure its not against the rules
Ok here is how i finally got the sound and music to work on two of three games. Instead of zipping the Iso's files, i just left it like that uncompressed. Psp/Games/Neocdpsp/metal slug 2.... In the Metal slug 2 folder there should be the files from the Iso AND neocd.mp3 folder... Thats how i got the sound and music to work.... The game that didn't work is Samurai showdown.. but I had an idea why.. I had changed the names of the files earlier so maybe it doesn't play it... because it can't find it now...
