to run games from xmaeme. I notice that only certain roms work.
I found this site with xmame roms for the neogeo, and all the roms I DL(around 30) work.

guess a quick how to is in order.

To install GnGeo
1. create a folder /media/mmc1/roms/neogeo
breaking it down, you will create the roms folder and then create the neogeo folder inside the roms folder also if you want create
a xmame, vba, and fceu folder inside the roms folder.

2. Inside App Manager install gngeo, and you should not get the unable to install error anymore.

3. Now find neogeo.zip or neo-geo.zip - google should give up much results with no problem.

4. After locating neo-geo.zip or neogeo.zip. extract the files inside the .zip to /media/mmc1/roms/neogeo/bios/
(/media/mmc1/roms/neogeo/bios/ should've been created when you installed gngeo. If it wasn't then create it.

5. Now going back to the top of this post. I located a website where all the roms I tried for the neogeo work.
I cannot post that link but if you would like the link, just send me a PM requesting it and i'll gladly send you a link.
some websites the roms don't seem to work.
There's a workaround for that, but I think its too much work for the average user. It requires editing files in /usr/share/gngeo/romrc/.



Pro's = speed on the emulator rocks.

Con's = The A,B,C,D on screen buttons don't show up on emulator start. I have to wait until the device go to sleep and then tap the screen in order for it to show the on screen buttons. Not sure why this is happening.

1 game out out of 30 I Had screen glitches, where gameplay wasn't possible.

Xmaeme frontend sucks.



With saying the frontend suck.
http://gngeo.berlios.de/?page=frontends

Going to try to get XGngeo to build.
My last attempt at doing so didn't go so well
because python2.5-pygame would not install
going to manually instal pygame and then try to build xgngeo.

PS. don't let that stop you from trying to build one of those frontends.
