INSTALLATION:
- Copy the folder Gngeo in your Emulation section, start the executable in the
shell with your command, use version with native GUI , or use NeoGUI 51.4
(minimum) on http://os4depot.net/. (important delete your OLD prefs for NeoGUI
and reboot your "miga" please).
-NeoGeo BIOS files are required, Copy neogeo.zip and uni-bios.rom BIOS on "bios"
dir
=> required on the neogeo.zip
>000-lo.lo
>aes-bios.bin
>asia-s3.rom
>neodebug.rom
>sfix.sfx
>sm1.sm1
>sp-e.sp1
>sp-j2.rom
>sp-s.sp1
>sp-s2.sp1
>sp1.jipan.1024
>usa_2slt.bin
>vs-bios.rom
- NeoGeo ROMS files are required, Copy your all roms on "Roms" dir (for better
compatibility see recent install roms from MAME World)
- Launch, choice your rom and enjoy
IMPORTANT: YUV, OpenGL and OpenGL2X don't support effect's (very slow) use
effects with soft blitter please.
Options "save state" and "load state" are experimental that
can crash the machine.
OPTIONS:
add -h after executable for look options:
--68kclock=x Overclock the 68k by x% (-x% for underclk)
--autoframeskip Enable auto frameskip --bench Draw x
frames, then quit and show average fps -B, --biospath=PATH Tell gngeo
where your neogeo bios is -b, --blitter=Blitter Use the specified blitter
(help for a list) --country=... Set the contry to japan, asia,
usa or europe --dump Create a gno dump in the current dir
and exit -D, --debug Start with inline debuger -e,
--effect=Effect Use the specified effect (help for a list)
--forcepc Force the PC to a correct value at startup -f,
--fullscreen Start gngeo in fullscreen -d, --gngeo.dat=PATH
Tell gngeo where his ressource file is -h, --help Print this
help and exit -H, --hwsurface Use hardware surface for the screen
-I, --interpolation Merge the last frame and the current --joystick
Enable joystick support -l, --listgame Show all the
game available in the romrc --libglpath=PATH Path to your libGL.so
-P, --pal Use PAL timing (buggy) --p1control=...
Player1 control configutation --p2control=... Player2 control
configutation --p1hotkey0=... Player1 Hotkey 0 configuration
--p1hotkey1=... Player1 Hotkey 1 configuration --p1hotkey2=...
Player1 Hotkey 2 configuration --p1hotkey3=... Player1 Hotkey 3
configuration --p2hotkey0=... Player2 Hotkey 0 configuration

configuration -r, --raster Enable the raster interrupt -i,
--rompath=PATH Tell gngeo where your roms are --sound
Enable sound --showfps Show FPS at startup
--sleepidle Sleep when idle --screen320 Use 320x224
output screen (instead 304x224) --system=... Set the system to
home, arcade or unibios --scale=X Scale the resolution by X
--samplerate=RATE Set the sample rate to RATE -t,
--transpack=Transpack Use the specified transparency pack -v, --version
Show version and exit --vsync Synchronise the
display with VBLANK --z80clock=x Overclock the Z80 by x% (-x%
for underclk)
All boolean options can be disabled with --no-OPTION
(Ex: --no-sound turn sound off)
Helper Option:
--autoframeskip
Enable auto frameskipping. The program will determine the best frameskip value
to avoid lagging the gameplay on a machine that is too slow to emulate at full
speed.
--blitter=STRING
Use the specified blitter. -b help will provide a list of available blitters.
soft, opengl, and yuv are typical choices.
--country=STRING
Set the country code to japan, usa or europe
--debug
Enable gngeo's internal debugger, for hacking, cheating, or fixing bugs.
--effect=STRING
Use the specified video effect. -e help will provide a list of available
effects.
--fullscreen
Start gngeo in fullscreen mode.
--hwsurface
Use a SDL hardware surface for the emulator's video. This can improve
performance if your video hardware/drivers are fast.
--interpolation
Enable interpolation from one frame to the next. This can make the display look
"smoother", but has a performance penalty.
--joystick
Enable joystick support.
--pal
Use PAL timings. This currently has bugs.
--p1control=ARRAY
--p2control=ARRAY
Player 1 and Player 2 keyboard and joystick mappings, respectively. (need more
details)
exemple:
--p1control=A=K122,B=K120,C=K97,D=K115,START=K49,COIN=K51,UP=K273,DOWN=K274,LEFT
=K276,RIGHT=K275,MENU=K27,UP=J0a0,DOWN=J0a1,LEFT=J0A0,RIGHT=J0A0,A=J0B3,B=J0B2,C
=J0B1,D=J0B0,COIN=J0B8,START=J0B9,HOTKEY1=J0B10,HOTKEY2=J0B11
IMPORTANT: For your prefs "gngeorc" change this parameters please:
for joystick: J=joystick 0=number of joystick A=analogic H=digital 0=the hat
(important: for inverse the fonction is "a" and not "A")
For keyboard is letter K
--raster
Enable the raster interrupt. (need more details)
--rompath=[path]
Give the path to locate the ROM collection. The default is to look in
PROGDIR:Roms/, but your ROM collection is most likely not there. :)
--confpath=[path]
Give the path to locate the CONF collection. The default is to look in
PROGDIR:conf/, but your CONF collection is most likely not there. :)
--sound
Enable sound emulation.
--showfps
When the emulator is started, show a frames-per-second count. This can be used
to gauge a baseline performance for the emulation.
--sleepidle
Enabling this option will cause the emulator to give up time to the system when
it is idle. It can incur a performance penalty, but can also make the emulator
"nicer" to the rest of the system.
--system=STRING
This option allows you to set the type of the emulated system to home or arcade,
depending on how you prefer to play your games. There are some differences in
many games if they detect a home system instead of an arcade system.
--scale=N
Upscale the resolution by N. For example, if N is 3, the Neo-Geo output, which
is normally 320x224, will become 960x448 (create new screenmode:
MODE=640x480()60 MODE=848x480()60. You may encounter a mode which is not
hardware accelerated when using this option.
--samplerate=N
Set the sound sample rate to N. N will typically be 11025, 22050 or 26000.
--transpack=STRING
Use the specified transparency pack (need more details), The default is to look
in PROGDIR:/bld
--help
Show summary of options.
F1 => Reset Neogeo Rom
F2 => Save screenshots on DIR "/PROGDIR/shots"
F3 => Test switch ON
F4 => Test switch OFF
F5 => Show fps ON:OFF
F10 => Autoframeskip ON/OFF
F11 => Sleep IDLE ON/OFF
F12 => Fullscreen / window mode
