In this case, only this rom will be converted.įor example, pretend you want to convert Metal Slug 1, using the japan-s2 bios. If there is another parameter, it will be interpreted as the name of the game, as given to MAME. In this case, it takes up to 2 parameters. You can run NeoDSConvert from the command line. The more info you can give me, the better. This can be useful for fighting games, or for other things. You can map multiple NeoGeo buttons to a single DS button this way. Putting a check in a box maps a NeoGeo button to a DS button.
Each row of boxes coorisponds to one DS button. NeoGeo buttons are along the top of the screen. DS buttons are down the right side of the screen. The input configuraiton screen is a grid. * Save - Write the current configuration and sram to the flashcard * Screen Off - The lower screen can be turned off.

This can actually make some games run faster! It is easier for NeoDS to emulate a slower cpu, and some NeoGeo games don't use the full cpu power anyway. * CPU Clock- The NeoGeo cpu can be underclocked. Scaled shows the full screen, but scaled down to fit. The NeoDS gui is controlled with the stylus. Select (acts as coin input using newer versions of universal bios) The main gui screen will display the text SLOT2 if this feature is active. This will improve the speed of some games, but is never required. If you have a supported flashcard with external ram in the GBA slot, NeoDS will use the extra ram to cache more data. Some games will freeze with audio disabled, so be warned! Once a game is loaded without audio, the only way to get audio back is to reload the game.
You can load a rom without audio which will improve frame rate, but you won't get any sound (obviously). The rom should load, and you should be playing. Use the arrow keys to select, and press start to choose. The main menu should load, showing you a list of all the roms on your card. The converted roms will have the *.neo extension.Ĭopy the DLDI patched NeoDS.nds, and all the *.neo roms into the root of your flashcard. Run NeoDSConvert, and it will convert all the NeoGeo roms in that folder. Copy NeoDSConvert.exe into the same folder. Put all the roms you want to convert along with the bios together in a folder. NeoDS uses the same rom sets as MAME, so make sure your games work in MAME before proceeding. Next you will need to convert some NeoGeo roms (mslug.zip for example). Please don't email me for help about this, there are plenty of places online that explain how this works.

* Slot2 flashcard with RAM (Opera expansion, SuperCard lite, etc.)įirst, you need to patch NeoDS.nds for your DLDI flash card (NOTE - not all flashcards require patching). It may be possible to emulate raster effects using the DS 2D hardware, but there are lots of reasons why this would be difficult. Emulating raster effects using this method would require more polygons per frame than the DS is capable of (as far as I can tell). Most of the graphics in NeoDS are drawn with textured quads. It will be hard to squeeze it into NeoDS, as both the ARM7 and ARM9 are pretty busy. * All forms of NeoGeo protection/encryptionįM audio has already been done in jEnesisDS, so it is possible in theory. It can run all types of NeoGeo roms with some limitations.
