snk emulation

[djwar]

Hi all..

What do you prefer for SNK emulation RA, mame,etc ? and why

i have my roms in the same mame rom folder but I was thinking of separate em into a different folder .. so i would like to hear your opinions of your vast experience

[Lordmonkus]

I prefer Mame but Retroarch using the FBA core is a good option.

[djwar]

and stand alone emulators like NeoRage (X) ?

[Lordmonkus]

Old, outdated and not as good as Mame or FBA.

[Mute64]

I have separated my SNK set from my mame set as well... and yea i prefer using mame over most other options.

[Thanos Reigns]

Separate SNK Neo Geo folder is the way to go. Also use one of the Unibioses if you can...I have all my NG games set up as Japanese Arcade

[djwar]

I need a good recommendation or ideas

I have all my SNK games/roms mixed up in my mame rom set, but Im thinking of separate em

Whats a good way/idea to do it?

 

[Thanos Reigns]

Here's my Neo Geo xml. You can use it to pull the roms from your mame folder. 

SNK Neo Geo.xml

[Lordmonkus]

There are full NeoGeo rom sets available on certain rom sites that aren't difficult to find. That's of course if you don't want to pull roms out manually.

[Thanos Reigns]

Yeah, I was going to mention a certain paradise, but I figure we arent allowed to mention sites like

that.

[Lordmonkus]

Yeah we have to very careful about it.

He or she, could use lightspeed program to copy or move the files to a new folder. It is the easiest and quickest option

Great thanks thanos!!

Can you show me how to use it and where to place it?

I ve never done this before.

[Thanos Reigns]

If you have a system named SNK Neo Geo in launchbox...just plop that xml in its folder under Database. If you're using Rocketlauncher, like me, i also put it in RL's database folder.

[djwar]

I do not have a database folder inside launchbox folder, or you mean in my emulator folder.

And how the the roms are going to be moved ?

There will only be that Database folder if you are using rocketlauncher, which i suggest you use personally,  if you want fade screens with info and bezels for everything, not just what retroarch supports. As for the roms...you have to actually move them yourself as far as I know, i could be wrong.

Im using launchbox only and Im planning to use Mame .175 to run it.

I was looking for ideas on the easiest way to separate the neo geo roms out of my mame rom set.

And, no, I do not have rocketlauncher sir

Unfortunately there is no easy way unless you can find a bat file already made to copy them out to a new folder. The easiest solution barring really shitty internet is to re-download a NeoGeo only rom set. The rom set has not changed for the newer versions of Mame or the rom set for that version.
