ArcadeGirl Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I was trying to set up NEO GEO CD and keep hitting brick walls. Any help. E
Styphelus Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 It's not worth it. You're better off setting up Neo Geo AES through Mess or AVS through Mame. Neo Geo CD has the same exact games but they are 10x the size. From memory, the CD version it only had around 6 exclusive titles. One was just a demo cd, the others were Japanese and only 2 were available in English. Why setup a whole system just for that?
gigapig Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 We would need much more detail than that ArcadeGirl. I do have it set up with NeoRaine but I'll probably move it to RetroArch.
gigapig Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Neo Geo CD has the same exact games but they are 10x the size. I suppose they take longer to load as well?
Aorin Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Raine runs NEO GEO CD games just fine and you have the option to select which loading speed you want, or none loading at all, I use 48x loading speed, cause I love the loading artwork and at the same time, it doesn't have loading, if it makes sense...Take Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, for example, it has great loading screens artworks, if you set the loading speed to 36 or 48x, it will load in 2 and 1 seconds respectively, basically the same transition as the cart version. NEO GEO CD has pretty much the same titles as NEO GEO AES/MVS, but has CD quality audio, songs in Samurai Showdown IV are a masterpiece, lots of other titles has real bands playing guitars, drums, bass, etc. The environment is far different (note, not saying it's better or worst, but different), the atmosphere of Samurai Showndown IV between AES/MVS and CD versions are really different, you have real Japanese instruments, not to mention the extras, like galleries, etc. Believe it or not, my full set of NEO GEO CD titles, according to the official database costs less than 5GB, the same as the AES version, cause what makes the NGCD games bigger are the WAV files, they are huge, but raine plays Mp3, so all you have to do is converting those WAV to MP3, set it to 320 Kbp/s quality and you won't notice quality loss, maybe only if you plan to listen those songs in a professional sound equipment. It worth keeping if you like having different gaming experiences in the same game.
