Over the last few months we’ve take a look at nesDS and Lameboy for excellent ways of playing NES and Gameboy games on our DS, but NeoDS has also arrived so we can play a number of impressive Neo-Geo games on our portable as well.
Browse through the best collection of Neo Geo ROMs and be able to download and play them totally free of charge!
Special thanks to Ivo in writing the installation tutorial
- Neo Geo games offers the user a fairly high-quality 2D graphics and high quality sound. The game system was based on a 16-bit Motorola 68000 processor and an 8-bit Z80, which was used as an audio compressor. To create the sound effect optionally could be used 15-channel sound.
- Neo Geo games can be a little tricky to get running. If your Neo Geo game doesn't work on the SNES Classic, you may need to try a different Neo Geo core. First open hakchi2 and connect your SNES Classic to your computer and turn it on.
- Welcome to the SNK Neo-Geo-CD ROMs section of the ROM Database. Please scroll down for more sections and remember to share this page. You can also vote for your favourite system. SNK Neo Geo CD Roms Section. Neo Geo CD (Japanese: ネオジオCD Hepburn: Neo Jio Shī Dī?) is the second home video game console of SNK's Neo Geo family, released.
- Neo Geo Pocket Information Download Neo Geo Pocket ROMs and play free games on your computer or phone. Get an emulator to be able to load the games from your computer or phone or play the online unblocked versions instead. There are Neo Geo Pocket games from a variety of different genres and categories, so the entertainment is guaranteed.
Neo Geo Emulation Off To A Great Start
So far there, there is only one Neo-Geo emulator for the Nintendo DS, but it is quite impressive for such an early release. Compatibility can be a bit hit-or-miss at this point (download the compatibility list for details), but it plays many games (including some newer titles) quite well. In fact, I think the quality of the emulation will impress a lot of people. Feel free to read this developer interview at GameSetWatch for more interesting details.
Installation Process
The NeoDS installation isn’t quite as easy as nesDS or Lameboy, but it’s not too bad if you follow the directions below. The main things to remember are that everything needs to be in the root folder, ROMs need to be converted with the included utility, and you need the Neo Geo bios file included.
- Download the emulator package at official NeoDS Google Group
- Extract the compressed file contents into a folder using zip utiliy of your choice.
- You will need to use a couple of files from the uncompressed folder – “NeoDS.nds” is the emulator itself, and there is also a tool “NeoDSConvert.exe” which you will need to use. There are detailed instructions in a “readme.txt” file (although if you follow these steps you probably won’t need to read it).
- Get the Neo-Geo ROM files you want to use, in .zip format (this is similar to MAME). The system ROM is usually named “neogeo.zip” and is necessary to run the emulator, and any games that you want to play on the emulator (for example, Metal Slug is usually “mslug.zip”).
- Convert ROMs to NeoDS’s special format. You will need to use the supplied tool “NeoDSConvert.exe”. Copy or move all the ROMs you want to use into a folder (including the system ROM). Then place “NeoDSConvert.exe” (copy or move it) to the same folder, like this:
- Execute “NeoDsConvert” (double click it). After a brief showing of the process through the command line, you will have a .neo file for each .zip you started with:
- If you system ROM is not named “neogeo.neo”, you will need to rename it.
- Copy or move “NeoDS.nds”, “neogeo.neo” and any other converted ROMs (in .neo format) to the root of the flash cart (it must be placed in the root).
- Then turn your DS, run the emulator, load any ROM (don’t bother running neogeo.neo though).
Video Tour of NeoDS
To get a better feel for how NeoDS handles, I’ve recorded a quick video that walks through some of the menus and shows a few games in action.
NeoDS’s Best Features
- Decent compatibility, but runs a number of heavy duty-games quite well
- Full speed for many games
- Support for large games such as Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves and KOF 2003
- M68000 cpu (cyclone), Z80 cpu (DrZ80), All forms of NeoGeo protection/encryption, Graphics, ADPCM audio, and PSG audio are all emulated
- Ability to customize button mapping
- Decent screen scalling
- Closing the DS pauses and puts into sleep mode.
- Able to switch between games easily
- Ability to lower CPU speed (actually speeds some games up)
