NEOGEO Emulator for PSP beta

[repuken2]

All this situation reminds me back in '98 when NeoRage was everything. I had a Pentium 233 mhz and 24 megs of ram. I had to do the virtual memory trick to play games up to kof97. How great those days were.

The funny thing is that today i own an old Laptop, a Toshiba Libretto 70ct, it is a Pentium 120Mhz mmx with 16 megs of ram, 200 megs free HD space out of 1 gig and 1 meg of video ram. I use to play Kof 2000, Garou, Metal Slug 3,4 and 5 and Svc Chaos on my small thing. Sure it eats a couple of frames and runs it without sound but it's also running games on top onf windows 98!!.

I hope this emu improves in the future cause im loving it right now, Fatal Fury Special with sound, thats great!!!. Cheerz to NJ!

whoa, metal slug is working great! Just beat 3 missions with little slowdown. It only slows down a bit when there are like 14 dudes on the screen shooting me in the groin and heliopters shooting my tank. So far, working better than ninja commando.

i cant get metal slug working, It says i have named the zip file wrong.

As far as the roms that don't need conversions, everything worked perfectly except Spinmasters (black screen). I hope for Mark of the Wolves and SVC Chaos to be playable too.

<b>Can someone please tell me how to use the Sprite rom converter. I really want to play Kizuna and Waku Waku 7. </b>

The new games, 25, I got working with the cache system are:

agressors of dark combat
art of fighting 2
art of fighting 3
blazing star
double dragon
fatal fury special
fatal fury 3
galaxy fighters
kabuki clash
kof94
kof95
kof96
magical drop 3 (no sound)
metal slug
overtop
prehistorik isle 2 (graphic errors)
Pulstar (gets stuck at region warning message)
Samurai Shodown 2
Samurai Shodown 3
Savage Reign
Shock Troopers
Sonic Wings 3
Super Sidekicks 3 (graphic errors)
Waku Waku 7
World Heroes Perfect

Right now I just want them to fix the sleep thing since many games can't be finished just in one go.

About memory problems, one thing I don't understand is, like gp2x neogeo emu did at the beginning, why don't they try to make bigger roms work without loading sound so that there's more memory for graphics and some more games will work. It isn't by far a great solution but I would enjoy a lot some fighting games even without sound.

And, like most people are saying, PSP scene has made possible things that before were impossible, so even though obviously memory limitations are a big issue, I do hope the clever minds around will find how to manage memory more efficiently.

Also, the latest snes9x emu did take advantage of the other core of the PSP for great performance improvements, I hope they can do this here too.

<b>Aleborri</b>, can you tell me how you got the Sprite rom converter to work. I see you have Waku Waku 7 on your list which is what I want to play. Maybe you can help me out. I would really appreciate it.

#42 metal slug has slowdown anyway when the screen is really busy so it sounds perfectly normal.

I updated to the new emulator and now I'm having problems, I get CRC errors now that I never use to...

Strange thing is when trying to load any game, the same error happens, this is what happens:

Checking ROM info...
ROM set "fatfury2"
Loading "US MVS (Ver 1)"
Loading "sfix.sfix"
ERROR: CRC32 not correct. "CPU1 (P ROM)"
Press any button.

I put the roms into the roms directory of the main folder and then it worked.
