The
NEOGEO is god . . . it is god that rules down on all . .
. do not question it, do not disobey it, for it is omnipotent
. . SNK's arcade hardware (which
was converted for home use) is STILL going strong
after all these years, with games like Garou:
Mark of the Wolves and Metal
Slug 3 . . . The neogeo emulation scene is almost
like a microcosm within the emulation community, with notable
figures and shady
behind-the-scenes dealings. . . . |
Emulation really picked up
when sound was finally accomplished
in MAME, after which everyone realized that almost
all the dumps were bad and had corrupt sound boards
. . remember THAT??
It was eventually sorted out, and NeoRageX
came along and gave everyone speed,
an awesome GUI, sidewinder
support and eagle / interpolation
/ triple buffer video modes . . . the home system
itself was originally several hundred
dollars, with cartridges over $100
as well. For those with mucho moola, that was cool, but
many appreciated the release of the NeoGeo
CD system, which loaded games off considerably
cheaper discs. Though the great majority
of neogeo games ARE fighters, there are some
great shooters (Blazing Star, Pulstar)
and the magnificent Metal Slug games, as well as a variety
of other titles . . NeoRageX is
one of our very favorite emus, and we wholeheartedly recommend
checking it out . . . |

Ohhh
yeaahhhhh . . . big poppa! One of OC's favorite
emulators, NeoRageX is easy to use, works with
tons of games (even the NEW ones) and has badass
interpolation and eagle effects as well as great
sound, an awesome GUI, and even a "shotfactory"
for organizing screenshots . . . GET IT!!!

Currently the only
emu out there that does Neo-Geo CD emulation,
which is good, as certain games have only been
released in this format or are hard to find in
MVS (SSRpg, Ironclad) . . a bit tricky to get
working, but worth it if you do . . .

MAME,
and most variations thereof, have GREAT support
for neogeo games, though not seemingly as fast
or convenient as NeoRagX, they are certainly a
great alternative . . the MAME homepage, and especially
MAMEWORLD have info on these emulators.
