*does the happy dance*
I love it when I am right. Now to wait for the psphack to post it so i can cuss out all the loosers. :D
--edit--
OMG. Other then the lack of sound the speed is very good (but i dont think it's perfect). I'm playing Samurai Shodown right now (Note yes I have a legal copy sitting here at my desk, best proof i can give is on the last page the phone number listed is 06(339)0110) and it's great. Man wish I had bought a copy of Samurai Shodown 2. :(
Might have to go hit ebay tonight.
Hey! I Was The First To Suggest It Was A Neogeo Cd Emulator!! Give Me Some Credit!
anyone got any screenshots of this baby in action ;)

I'll post a short vid in a sec of it running.
Here you go. A short vid and a picture of my copy of Samurai shodown (sorry just felt like it).
--edit--
wraggster, feel free to post the video up on the neo geo cd page.
whoa... from your video i see this thing is pretty freaking fast!
Not perfect but still pretty damn fast. :)Quote:

i still think it violates the code's license.
where do i get the bios from? and what is it?
don't ask for the bios, its against the rules
why?Quote:

original authors license says it cannot be distributed on the same media as the games. I take that as meaning you must have it read original discs. It can easily be interpreted as meaning 'dont give this with roms' but to me it seems that would be redundant to say. We already know it is illegal to distrubte it with roms, and anyone doing so would be violating laws above whatever the license says.
I think i may give a better explaination in the quake/neogeo thread.
mmm, i c. and of course the psp can't read the original cds.... did anyone contact the original authors?
yes, wink, i think i better go out and by some legal neogeo cds on ebay wink. I am so happy i think i'll wait to by the legal version wink.
Tehehehe
While I think quzar is totally correct, I dont think SNK is going to give half a rats ass. It really is the priciple of the thing though but then again, making legal backups would violate this, as its not on the media that it actually came on. Am I not correct?Quote:

god it's like what the other guy said, this is like a house full of puritains, even though i obtain my games legally Wink.
Anyway can someone tell me how this thing works.
Thing is I don't care how you get the games or how you use them. I AM NOT talking about warez. I'm talking about respecting the emulator author's wishes. If I were worried about warez then I would sit around yelling at everyone doing cartidge console emulation (including myself?).
Yah, what about that quzar? your such a warez whore.Quote:

this emu is a port of another emu, the original author did all the hard work. it his wishes quzar is think about
Fabrice Martinez wrote the emulator. His license for its use is pretty normal (basically GPL) but it has that one added clause. I firmly belive this is why the original emulator (and the SDL ports) do not allow for either ISO reading, or reading the plainfiles off a hard drive.
anybody have Fabrice Martinez email address to ask? I really just think it's a basic (and badly writen) clause to state that the emulator and an iso should not be put together on a single media and distributed.
I know quzar thinks thats a pretty "DUH" thing to note with emulators and roms but many authors do note in their readme files is they will not allow for the selling of their emulator or for the emulator to be distributed with roms.
who really cares, why are you all so worked up, is this an i am more legal than you topic or do you have some real interest in wether he wanted us to only use our legal neocd disks with it.
yes, but how hard would it be to add iso funtionality into his program? I think he would have added that a while ago if that were his wishes. anyways, id rather have a AES emulator or even some kind of Final Burn emu ported to the PSP.Quote:

It also would not take much to clearly state in the text file "This code is open source and you are free to do what you like with it except for adding iso suport."
point taken.Quote:

in theory yes, if you break a GPL licence you are breaking the law, but i don't think it has ever happened or ever will. but its not just a legal issue its a moral one, honor bettween coders. There are coders out there that steal other people work, and take all the credit - = IAN MICHEAL = - i'm sure that Fabrice Martinez, just did not want his emu to be used as only a warez tool but since the psp can't read the original cd i would guess he would not mind, but contacting him would clear it all up

hi!
I have the 512k bios and i put all the files on my PSP in "I:\PSP\GAME\NeoCD". I have the EBOOT.PBP, loading, startup, and NeoCD.bin in that folder. When I start it it starts to load and gets to the loading screen but after about 5 secends of staying on the loading screen it quits and goes back to the main PSP menu and doesnt give me any errors. Please help...
Regards!
I'm having trouble. I think the problem is with the game zipfile. I am supposed to extract all of the files from the image and insert them into neocd.zip? is that it? Do I need to do anything with the mp3s? The games I have are all isos with mp3s (which arent in the isos).
It'll do that if there's no NEOCD.ZIP file. You have the bios and the EBOOT, but do you have a NEOCD.ZIP (ie. game rom) in there as well?Quote:

STARTUP.BIN
NEOCD.ZIP
NEOCD.BIN
EBOOT.PBP
Works perfectly for me under v1.00.
In the folder named NEOCD I have these five files:
EBOOT.PBP
STARTUP.BIN
loading.bmp
NEOCD.BIN (512K bios)
NEOCD.ZIP (Zipped ISO content)
Yeah. I have 1.5 so maybe Ive done something wrong on the first mem card. I dont think so. It loads up the starting image of the emu and then trys to access the mem card. Then goes back to the Psp.
hmmm. :confused: does this thing work with any ISO or just psps or ps2? and after i extract an ISO file how do i turn it into a zip file again? and the bios i download isn't named neocd.bin when i download it. is that normal? so if i have more then 1 games in there do i name them all NEOCDPSP.ZIP or add somthing else to it? i have a 1.5 psp. it would be nice for an answer. please im me on msn or yahoo because i dont now how to refind this furoms after leaving them. [email protected], [email protected]. anyone please. and i've tried to run an emulator but it comes up as that the NEOCD.BIN is not present even dul its in there. i dont get it. thank you. and it would really be nice. i'm a quick learner. i wont take much of anyone's time. lolQuote:
