NeoDS - Neo Geo AES/MVS Emulator for Nintendo DS

[dalahesten]

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

yes. make sure your roms inside the files are all *.bin files. *.rom files dont work for some reason.

Yes, it is *bin files. It's mslug.zip, and i even try to delete the readme file inside but it still does not work. maybe it is something wrong with the bios. the name of the file in the neogeo.zip map is:


00-lo.lo
aes-bios.bin
asia-s3.bin
neodsbug.rom
sfix.sfx
sm1.sm1
sp-e.sp1
sp-j2.rom
sp-s.sp1
sp-s2.sp1
sp1.jipan.1024
uni-bios.12
usa_2slt.bin
vs-bios.rom

Here's a little help file I created for you.

If you cannot download it or it is not allowed to post it here (sorry), will find another way.

Which BIOS do you use to get Last Blade 2 to work?

[TooCoolToRule]

According to the list I got, it should work with option 1. Has some glitches though. I tried almost all (over 90% of them) the games they said were playable in the list and all the ones I tried worked with option 1 with the exception of one of the metal slugs which they said was playable with option 1 but wouldn't boot on my mates M3 DS Simply.

This emulator is crazy. The mind boggles at how the author managed to get it working so well, and out of nowhere. I just tried Windjammers, and it practically ran flawlessly. Not only does this bode well for fans of Neo Geo emulation, but it bodes well for emulation in general on the DS (and, perhaps, even commercial retro products).

Or: wow.

I read the whole ****ing 16 pages and still can't get anything to work on an M3 DS Real without the GBA Expansion slot. Help now or die

I'm also using Linux (converted the files via Wine but when done on Windows they still didn't work.)

[Bizmark]

Ok. I managed to get some games working. (Mutation Nation, King of MOnsters 2 etc). As from what I can see these are old games.

The others (such as Metal Slug X, Samurai Showdown and some others) give me Z80 errors.

hello,

you don't have the good romset because the compatibility is great, I can't launch top hunter and Top player golf, the others roms work:thumbup:
