Wow, I didn't realise that I was still signed up here... It's been so damn long. Haha.
Yeah, I had no idea there was a version 2 of his emu... I musta missed the announcment. Man, it's pretty much full speed. I actually think for sure that it is. I emailed him yesterday with a couple of suggestions and bugs... they were....
1) Swap the buttons around. On the real Neo Geo the A + B buttons are the top 2. But on the Dreamcast they're the bottom 2. Makes it a little confusing when first playin a game.
2) Of all the games I've tested, they all do this. If you use the "select" button at any time, especially in the menu, then while playing the game it pauses and unpauses without anything being pressed. The select button is the pause button for the Neo Geo.
3) You may want to make the return to menu feature activate by pressing both shoulder buttons. I've accidentially pressed the left trigger a few times during play ^_-
4) If you go to the menu while pushing in any direction, when you come back your character will constantly be stuck in that direction. It might be the same bug with the select button?
5) If it's possible, remove the custom "loading" screen. It's nice and all, and I like the remix of the Neo Geo tune, but it disrupts the flow of the game. Maybe just a black screen with the Neo4all Logo gradually being drawn as it loads or something?
6) I didn't notice this one at first, and it still doesn't bother me at all, but the backgrounds on the Fighting games (Samurai Showdown 4 and World Heroes Perfect for example) move really really fast. Much faster than they're supposed to.
7) Fatal Fury and Metal Slug seem to be the only games I tested with sound problems. Metal Slug's "pick up item" noise goes for a bit longer than it should. Fatal Fury often doesn't have sound effects and it plays the wrong music on all stages.
Man, I thought the last release was as fast as the Neo Geo CD would ever be emulated on the Dreamcast... I'm so glad I was wrong... I'm off to play some Samurai Showdown 4... Woooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
