Apparently whatever I did only worked for Garou. Can't get Fatal Fury Special to boot. You only need ONE of the Bios files right? How does RetroArch know where to look for them? Edit: Maybe it just needs a different core I don't know. I'll try again tomorrow.

You don't have to use that emulator. The roms are completely legal tho.

Buying it now and seeing most of these work for Mac just blew my mind. I honestly didn't even think they would because it felt too good to be true.

I felt the same way with Linux. Installed perfectly with 64 bit compatibility and supported my PS4 controller perfectly on Linux Mint. I couldn't be happier with this purchase!

Fightcade has pretty good online. For controllers I use the logitech pad and Qanba Q4raf arcade stick
Edit: KOF 98 is one of the more popular games on fightcade.

Any proof? I assume Microsoft licensed MAME for Killer Instinct arcade 1 and 2, why wouldn't SNK

Great deal. This is the first bundle I've bought in quite a while.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
You're missing the point. If they're going to charge money for this, they should do at least as good of a job as the free alternative.

So if I were to pull the NeoGeo BIOS rom and game roms from these downloads, and put them all in a folder, what's the best emulator for all this stuff that's better than DotEmu's stuff?
Is it MAME? If so, is there an idiots guide to MAME?

MAME has had years of constant development from people so dedicated to making it that they don't expect money from their work. The emulator DotEmu uses doesn't have either those years of development or people willing to work for free on it.

I want Blazing Star to be one of the next added game, just for completion's sake XO
Also Real Bout 2 cuz I need HonFu in my life again, and Art of Fighting 3 for dem graphics
Been years since I last used MAME but I'm more accustomed to the 2000-2010s versions. Basically you just toss the files into the rom folder in MAME, WHILE RUnning MAME you Right click the game to change the settings. Then while mame is running you assign the buttons or keys.
Word of advice: Play these games in JP ver. for the most part since English releases are either censored, and/or have horrible translation; such things did not age well :V

Rad, thanks.
Just remembered some of the NeoGeo games that Giant Bomb has covered that are not Windjammers, I hope Money Puzzle Exchanger makes it into this. Competitive puzzle games are always awesome.

Been thinking I should do a write up about Garou's systems but then I remember the SRK wiki has it covered really well
http://wiki.shoryuken.com/Garou
If that still seems confusing to some (I highly doubt that though) I could do a write up of the system since I'm bored at work

Went for $10 option. This was my first humble bundle. Don't play a ton of games on my computer, but for charity I didn't mind.
Glad I get the chance to play some of these. Don't have a lot of NeoGeo experience.

Don't use the Emulator that comes with these games, use alternatives such Fightcade, Final Burn Alpha, MAME or Retroarch.
mneuro
Member
If all you are trying to do, (like I was), is load these games and play them full-screen with a controller, the included emulator works perfectly fine.

Thanks for the tip man. I'll try fightcade tomorrow. Once I'm home for winter break I'll try setting up my DS4 too.

Late reply but
Kiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah~
You can't remap the buttons though, and the graphic options are really poor.
The other emulators offer a wide range of graphics options that it's worth putting in the time to get the game working on them.

In for all games. Thanks for the heads up, OP. Love me some old school SNK.
Nice to legally own these games after all these years.

Correct, but since you're getting the ROMs in a legal manner you can just apply them to your preferred emulator and run them for better performance.
Except maybe Metal Slug 2, unless someone found a way to fix the slowdown in it :V

For those expecting free keys when some of these games are ported to Steam, I wouldn't get your hopes up. Taking a wild guess, I would assume the Steam ports would be a bit more than simple ROM+Emulator packages and have additional features (like the Metal Slug titles on Steam).
Still, this is an extraordinary deal and since they bulk of the games are ROMs I suppose you could just download an emulator with net play functionality if you really want to go online.

Good point, regardless $10 for this bundle is still worth it if you use Emulators, I mean the dang thing comes with Neo Turf Masters, supposedly the greatest Golf game ever made or so I'm told @_@
Would that even be possible? All the slowdown is just how it ran right? Isn't that why they made Metal Slug X?
Tizoc
Member
I hadn't tested MS2 myself yet, but will when I get home later today. Gonna run it in an emu and see if the emulator can fix the slowdown or not :X

Indeed. Paying money for ROMS with packaged emulators is nothing new. That's what so many compilation packs have been released over the last decade or so. That is also the Virtual Console and PSone Classics.

The neo geo file that comes with each game has the AES files.
If you run the game via Fightcade, click the upper left option and select dipswitch while a game is running.
Switch to AES, choose Universal bios and restart the game.
Should now give you the AES menu.

Does this version of Garou include the complete storymode?
Dreamcast, PS2 (Xbox360 too?) versions had unique story mode and ending for each character, even exposing Tizoc's face and Hotaru finding her brother. They also had arranged soundtrack.
Whereas the original arcade mode had the same ending for every character, thus missing a great deal of character development.
Too bad they did not add the Neo Geo CD version with arranged soundtrack.
Too bad they ignore Neo Geo CD emulation completely....

Actually the arcade version required you to average a high rank to reach Kain and get a proper ending.
I feel like a Sucker for basically buying a $40 shirt, but I do like the design of that Metal Slug Shirt. I wonder if I can find my old Dog Tag from Metal Slug 7.
Hope at some point more of these games move over to steam. All these Non-Steam Neogeo games are just Roms with a finicky emulator (I swear there is even more slowdown then with normal Emulators). At least the Steam ones gave me a bit of convenience and built in Online Multiplayer.
Yeah, I basically just wanted the shirt.

Uh dude
To get the real ending you need to get A and/or S or higher rank average in all fights up til Grant.
If you don't you get a regular ending, if you do, you go on to fight Kain and can see each character's ending.
What you described is each character's ending mate

It is the same ending for every character even after you fight and beat Kain, despite the rankings. SNK didnt have time to add proper endings to the arcade version. Later DC and PS2 port added proper endings!

Tried to use MAME, but wasn't really making progress (inserted ROM and BIOS files in the folder, but kept telling me it was missing stuff). Tried out FightCade for the first time (didn't know it required registering), and so far it works for Twinlestar Sprites and Metal Slug. Although I did run into slowdowns in both games (mostly Twinklestar), but turning up the CPU speed helps (not so much with Twinklestar).
Tizoc
Member
Waaaah?
Well what I played of the AES yesterday did result in each character's ending showing up.
Just set the game to AES via an emulator and you'll get the ending once you beat Kain.

Can someone please share the tracklist of the Neo Geo 25th Anniversary Soundtrack? My purchase pretty much depends on what songs are included on it because I already have most of the games on this bundle.
Let's try:
Blues Journey, Ghost Pilot, Samurai Showdown, ???
