NeoCD Redux 0.1.52 Released - Neogeo CD Emulator for Nintendo Wii and Gamecube

[Tyr]

Is there any work being done on getting this to boot off dvd-r on wii? since then alot more people will be able to use.

What makes Neocd emu so special , all other homebrew works off dvd-r if i'm not wrong?

There is a working version of the emu that's bootable off of a mini DVD-R, so long as you have a method of loading dol files off of mini DVD-R's. Check this board, maybe page 2 or 3 has the file. I may have it but i'll have to scavage my computer for it.

Mini dvd-r , but if i run it on wii can i use a dual layer dvd-r?

Also i cannot find any mention of this version that runs straight off dvd without the need of a SD card.

So long as you can get your system to read dol files off of dvd-r's, whether it be regular dvd-r's, mini dvd-r's, single or double layered, i don't think it would matter at all what kind of media you use.

I'm fairly certain this file is workable off of a dvd-r. Make sure before you do anything that you read the adobe acrobat document as it tells you how to build your mini dvd-r and such. Sorry if you don't get this to work but I couldn't get my Gamecube to ever read dvd-r's so i never had the chance to actually test this dol file out. I just use the SD Load version of the dol file and it works like a dream. But anyway, here's the dvd-r version of the dol file.

Thanks alot Sabres! i will experiment around with a dvd-rw first so no harm done if it doesnt work

Oh, btw it's very important that if you do get the NeoCD Redux dol emu to load, and at the emu menu you have your list of games, that you press what I believe is the "X" button to choose your game. It's either Y or X, i forget, but if you press any other button when choosing your game I think it just freezes the emu and you have to restart your Wii or Gamecube.

Hi @ all. I tried neo redux 1.36 today but it doesn't seems to boot properly. All i get is a weird green mess on the screen . i did all like said in the pdf. the checksum of my NEOCD.BIN compares to the first mentioned in the pdf.

my dvd root looks like:

/redux.dol
/BOOT/NEOCD.BIN
/MS2/IPL.TXT (and all other metal slug data files i extracted from the metal slug.iso)
/MS2/MP3/TRACK02.MP3 (and all other Tracks)

i bootet the dol from cobra 1.6
i use PAL DOL001
and Viper GC Extreme

i also tried out ver. 1.51 (same result) and 1.52 (boots to the "press A button" screen and then hangs up)

i dont want to waste another dvd so does this sound familiar to anyone? is having an AR or gekko adapter a must? could anyone help me plz?

Thanks in advance.

Three things.....

1) Your NeoCD.bin file is supposed to go in a folder called "BIOS", not "BOOT"

2) Make sure when you name your mp3 files, that you do not actually type out ".MP3" at the end of the filename. The files are in .mp3 format and if you literally type out something such as "TRACK02.MP3", because the file is in mp3 format the emulator will see the filename as "TRACK02.MP3.MP3" and won't recognize it so you won't get any music.

3) Make sure when you select your rom folder at the Redux menu, that you press the "X" button as pressing the "A" button will cause the emulator to freeze.

Lastly, the file available for download on the first page of this thread is for SD Cards. The file I provided on page 4 of this thread is for DVD-R. Try that version out, cause version 1.36 is an old old version, i think.
