Support NeoGAF

[Z..]

Trying to have some fun with my Neo Geo classics from last year's Humble Bundle deal but the provided emulator is crap and since they are essentially just ROMs anyway I'm trying to find something to run them on. MAME is near perfect but the transparency issues with Neo Geo are a bit of a nuisance and quite frankly NeoRageX, Nebula, Kawaks and FinalBurn are all varying degrees of turd too...

Is MAME my best bet? Transparencies aside it is pretty flawless.

MAME for solo play, Fightcade if you want to get your multiplayer on.

Final Burn Alpha was pretty much flawless when I last tried it, some years ago.

We've been playing around with SamSho II/V Special and Sengoku 3 on MAME and it works pretty flawlessly for multiplayer too! Also Sengoku 3 is a hell of alot better than 1 and 2 and I never even gave it a chance back in the day since 1 and 2 were so mediocre. This game kicks butts!

But I'll assume you mean online multiplayer as far as Fightcade is concerned, yes?

Running like shit for me, sadly. Maybe I did something wrong, though...

I generally prefer FBA over MAME for all arcade games just for the ease of use.

Yea online. Fightcade uses GGPO netcode so the online is really smooth.

I'm wondering​ this myself. I used to use NeoRageX years ago and remember it working fairly well.

I use to try to 1CC Sengoku 3 at the Super Arcade in my younger days. That was the first Sengoku I ever played. I remember seeing the first and second in old EGM screenshots always wanting to try it. Tried those out later and yes, they were ass; felt generic gameplay-wise.

on fightcade, glad to see 2k2 still the no.1 most popular game, about 6 years ago it was 98. Fightcade/ggpo must hold a world record for online pvp format still being relevant, although no one will recognize it cos piracy. Probably another record for oldest fighting game (98?) still being played online at any relevant numbers, but that's as much to do with the netcode/program rather than the game itself being good too.

Setting final burn alpha to force the games into a locked 60hz with full screen vsync will stop the character shadows flickering / improve the look of transparency due to the non standard refresh of the original hardware being mismatched to modern lcd screens.
