Black Screen With Neocdgp2x

[bluejapo]

Thanks NeoStuey.

Had gotten the update and not included those older files. Neo Geo CD just gets better and better.

Just tried kof98... not really playable...

zip files work fine too.

​

I can't even select zip files :blink:
Edit: Never mind, it's working. Zipped up the folder with the files instead of just the files. Feeling slightly retarded now

Thank you for the links NK.

Just downloaded and there is a newer version of NeoGeo CD inside 2005.12.01, file size

The first thing to note is that the button config has changed 611kb from 603kb and a new patch.prg file. As with previous updates their are lib files, I have installed them to make sure I don't miss any changes in them.

First difference involves the controls, new button config and just when I was very comfortable with the old one.

A=A
X=B
Y=C
B=D
L=A+B+C
R+B+C+D


R shoulder and joystick button still exists the game, but it has trouble launching the game again if you press be whilst ipl.txt is highlighted. To avoid problem press start to exit emu and then restart it.

Metal Slug 2 appeared to have got a speed increase as did Metal Slug, Fatal Fury Special still crashed and no sound is apparent. Samurai Showdown 2 seemed a tiny bit quicker? I'm not sure. :unsure:

Gonna need to test those games again

NK, you here.

Nice to see you in GP32x forum

I've just tried the new version of NeoCDGP2X. The analog click doesn't exit to menu no more which is great and some games did get a speed boost. I wish the control config would be like this though :

A = A
Y = B
X = C
B = D

Anyways, great work NK.

Right, ignore the ipl.txt thing you only need to worry if you are using uncompressed files in a file folder. I do that if a zipped game fails to load, just so I can be sure if it runs or not.

If you have a Metal Slug 2.iso you need to extract the files from that archive as in it's current format it won't run. The easiest way is to use Winrar. If you have it installed just right click on the Metal Slug 2.iso and select open. Left click and drag so that all the files are selected, press ALT + E and select ok. You will then get a file folder that contains the uncompressed game data. To zip it up open the folder, left click and drag highlighting all the files, right click and select add to archive, change the archive format to .zip. You have now successfully made a .zip game file that will run in the emu. If you have MP3's as well you don't need to do anything special to them if they are name Metal Slug 02 02 through to Metal Slug 02 20 inclusive. You just make a file folder called NeoCD.mp3 and drop them into it.

Putting the files on your SD card.

Here is one way of doing it.

SD Card\NeoCD2\memcard.bin
.........................\neocd.bin
.........................\neocdgp2x.gpe
.........................\ng-lo.rom
.........................\patch.prg
.........................\startup.bin
.........................\save
.........................\skin0\filer.png
..................................\folder.png
..................................\game.png
..................................\loading.png
..................................\zipped.png
.........................\Games\Metal Slug 2<-This is a file folder you need to make
.......................................................\Metal Slug 2.zip
.......................................................\NeoCD.mp3<-This is a file folder you need to make
..........................................................................\Metal Slug 02 02.mp3 etc through to Metal Slug 02 20.mp3

Go to Game on your GP2X
Select SD Memory Card
Select NeoCD2 folder
Select neocdgp2x.gp3...wait.
Select Games folder
Select Metal Slug 2 folder
Select Metal Slug 2.zip

Press B and the game will load, the music starts in the character selection screen.
