Gngeo V0.7a B4

[EvilDragon]

Pepone released a new version of his NeoGeo-Emulator.

Most important change:
Sound support on the 2nd CPU!
That means you can play most games Fullspeed with sound at 200MHz!

I included JyCet's most recent beta of Rage2x which laready supports these features.

Download: GNGeo2x v0.7a b4
Thanks to www.gp32spain.com for the news.

Very nice. The 11khz sound option doesn't seem to work at the moment (freeze on boot), though I guess with the speed gains you can just go ahead up to 22khz anyway

 

[Rivroner]

Not freezing at 11khz for me.

The only problem that i have found is that now the emulator is very unstable, sometimes you get sound, sometimes you don´t hear anything, sometimes you get a freeze.

 

[TelcoLou]

The sound went wanky on me during a test play of Neo Driftout, 22khz

 

[PSyMastR]

Nice, Ill be sure to test this.

keep in mind that it's a beta. It seems to work well for some people, but don't for other.
I think that to maximize your luck, you should keep to 200Mhz, use a sample rate at 22050Hz, and enable the ram timing hack by editing the conf/gngeorc file and adding CODE
ramhack true
because it make quite a difference.
I hope that most GP2X user can use this hack...

 

[Rivroner]

The speed is awesome, i edited the gneogeorc with the ramhack true

I hope that soon the hangs/sounds problems will be solved.

Thank you very much Pepone

 

[fusion_power]

Since a longer time I wanted to ask, what I should set for the booth emulated cpu's % speed options in gngeo. I never touched this. Are there recommended settings?

 

[stormyandcold]

Please also fix Overtop support Pepone!

Btw, SNK VS CAPCOM runs very nice

Thanks for all your hard work!

I got stuttery framerate at 22050 Hz on Metal Slug with the new version at 200 MHz. I could actually see the framerate drop when a sound was played. I dropped down to 11025 and it was smoother and seemed to work fine.

 

[imhotep]

I am getting sound fx, but no music in games (stuff that is handled by second CPU I assume). Anything I can do?

 

[purple_goat]

*waits for alpha*

 

[stormyandcold]

Seems there are numerous bugs in this version imhotep, sometimes I get music but no sound fx, sometimes sound fx start to go out of sync, sometimes they dissapear and randomly come back for a brief moment.

Am sure things will be ironed out though

Same here, tested this with Metal Slug 5.

Indeed, mslug is still the most demanding game. For me it work nearly all the time @60fps @22050, but in some scene, the framerate drop heavily (when you meet the first chopper for example).
It's always ok @11025 (and a that's a lot better than before )
