[mrsnature]

To anybody who has got either of these working, can you let us know how? I'm prob doing something wrong but all i get is a black screen...

I have metal slug roms and shareware hexen wad... not sure where to put them though!

needs bios?

 

[mrsnature]

hmm i got a bit further by running the instal_lib.gpu utility that there is also a link to..

now i get the loading screen then returns to the main gp2x menu.

probably not finding the rom(?)

junker: oh maybe you're right i'll see what i can do...

 

[mrsnature]

seems like a bios is already included, but i think i am not using the right rom files.
Hexen now works after i've installed the libs though!

all files are just in the root directory.

 

[EvilDragon]

I guess the BIOS files are only dummies - usually, they are not included with an emulator.

Also, there are two ways an NEOCD emulator possibly works:
1. Running an ISO or
2. Running a directory or zip with all the CD files copied there and the audiotracks MP3 encoded (the PSP emulator does this)

I would try this out - but I don't have a gp2x yet.

​

no?, still no gp2x's for your shop in stock, gbax already has them for some time?

They only got a few ones - and I get them from gbax.
However, the next shipment has already been dispatched yesterday from Korea.

 

[aapje89]

aha ok.

I thought they've got thousands and that's why Craig and co. spent days checking them all. If shipment with major quantity is coming in, would he go through them again? :blink: I mean, should he? Now, my patience is running low and want my toy by Thanksgiving, but...I dunno any more.

 

[craigix]

Evildragon means hundreds by a few

Another 2 shipments are arriving any day now, his are from those.

Sorry, I didn't probably make myself clear.
He got enough for HIS preorders, not for mine.
The shipment which finally has enough units for me is on the way

If you preordered at gbax, it's currently being checked and shipped out.

The next batch had been sent out a few days later.

NK's stuff need libs included in
http://archive.gp2x.de/cgi-bin/cfiles.cgi?0,0,0,0,5,856

copy install_lib.gpu install_lib.tar.gz to root folder and run .gpu in utility menu.

 

[diablo2]

Craig, you've really hit the jackpot becoming one of the only places to buy a gp2x. I wish I was you.

 

[Quiest]

The next batch had been sent out a few days later.

I thought we pre-orderers were in the first batch? So we don`t get any First Edition ones?

​

You will
In case you didn't know: GPH is a bit weird - it is the first batch, they just sent out too few

Thank you prodo, this little gem of information has made a great day even better.
(in the utility menu it appeared as install_libs). Thank you again.

Very cool. Got Hexen working by adding hexen.wad at the root. Metal Slug works in NeoCD very nicely (no sound yet)... just rip the CD contents and put in "neocd.zip" at the root.

 

[Cbass182]

bin cue format or iso mp3? and where do they go? in the NeoCD2 folder or in the root? And do they need to be in their own folder?

ex. NeoCD2/metalslug/

and you put those inside a zip file called neogeo.zip? or put the neogeo.zip file in the root that has the bios files?

If someone could have a little more clear instructions on where everything goes, and what format they need to be in...that'd be great...thanks...

mount game cd and zip inside files
