GxGeo - Neo-Geo AES/MVS emulator for Nintendo Wii

[wraggster]

Dont get too excited this isnt a release but blizzo is working on a new NeoGeo Emulator for the Nintendo Wii.

Heres what he has wrote so far:

GxGeo is a port of the open-source GnGeo emulator, originally coded by pepone. This is a Neo-Geo AES/MVS emulator.

Development Log
05/09/2008 (latest)

Video emulation is working well now
Sound is on the way
02/09/2008

Small ROMs load (not enough RAM for large ones)
SDL to GX 90% complete - expect a preview release soon
01/09/2008

Compiled with SDL-Port, runs at a reasonable speed
Started SDL to GX porting

Cant wait for an actual release

Ok, Hang on a sec while I go buy a new pair of pants...

This news made my Sunday! Forgive me if I disobey my orders to not get excited. I have been waiting for an updated port of the Gamecube NeoCD emulator to the Wii with all the trimmings the others have (USB, HBC, all controllers, etc.) and now there is news of a second project? AND to top it off it is MVS/rom based?
Awesome!

Not to put the cart before the horse, but does blizzo plan on it being NeoCD compatible (even if not on the initial release)? Just curious.

Neo Geo is a perfect example of Homebrew/commercial harmony... I have the games in emulators, and I am the first to hunt down SNK releases like Metal Slug Anthology and SNK Arcade Classics. Even as I played Classics on Day ONE I was imagining Vol 2. Hey, why else label it Vol 1 unless there were plans for a follow-up? (Ok, I AM still waiting for Mel Brooks's "History of The World" sequel).

Neo Geo games on the Wii are my favorite hope so thank you in advance blizzo!

this is my most wanted emulator!

I only played neo geo games on pc back in the late 90s, to finally be able to play them on tv with CC would be amazing.

just crapped my pant... almost... maybe after the actual release...

[kevenz]

Thanks a lot. I can confirm there are no aspect ratio problems on my NTSC widescreen HDTV. There are borders on the edges, but none of the display is off screen. I've only tried Top Hunter and MSlugX, but in TH, there seems to be a problem with hanging in midair on non-existing floors. I get a code dump on MSlugX before getting the game fully loaded. I've tested both roms on an NDS NeoGeo emulator, where they both function properly.
