Emulator NEO GEO CD

[slashguns04]

which emulator used for neo geo cd?

[Lordmonkus]

Raine, Final Burn Alpha (stand a lone version) and Mess / Mame will do it. I found Mess to be the best option and if you look around I did a full tutorial on it.

[slashguns04]

can you give me the link of the tutorial?
thank you

Maybe through the Mame core but I never tried it, I know the FBA core won't do it.

Even if the Mame core did work I wouldn't use it over a stand alone Mame / Mess anyways.

I do not understand English very well
could you do me a short video tutorial to emulate neogeo cd with mess?

You can follow one of the MESS tutorials and plug in Neo Geo CD info, you can follow our Final Burn Alpha video, or if you'd like I can make that this weeks tutorial. I've been wanting to do a proper Neo Geo CD tutorial anyways though, so this would make me do it.

[slashguns04]

ok look your tutorial for neogeo cd
thank you

[Lordmonkus]

I highly recommend against Final Burn Alpha only because of the extremely long loads times of the NeoGeo CD that FBA emulates. It was a 1x CD drive and it really has painfully long load times. With Mame / Mess you can fast forward it.

[SentaiBrad]

Ah, I forgot about that Monkus. I think NeoGeo and CD is a good tutorial for tomorrow actually, I've been wanting to do it for a while.

[Lordmonkus]

Yeah it would be a good tutorial to do. My text tutorial will only go so far and having a good video to go along with it would help some people out.

mess rom games  which extensions should have?

[Lordmonkus]

For NeoGeo CD it's cue + bin like I said in my tutorial.

[slashguns04]

I have the .iso and .bin file but can not start them with a mess only starts the bios

you have to rename the ISO?

You will need a cue file, that is the file that gets loaded.

[slashguns04]

I have the cue file mess but after scanning of the rom is not nessu game from start

in the rom folder mess I have to enter .cue and .iso files
or .zip file?

[Lordmonkus]

I had no luck with cue + iso files, I was only able to get cue + bin to work. You can convert cue + iso to cue + bin using daemon tools and ImgBurn.

[slashguns04]

I can not start it if any of you could make a video guide would be much easier for all
thank you

Here is a video I did on converting Saturn images but the programs and process used are the exact same. Brad is probably going to be doing a tutorial video on setting up the emulator and running the games.
