  YESSSSSSSS!!!!Neo Geo CD emulation in FBA will be great!!!I know that is neccesary a lot of work in the driver, but many intentions for your work.

Once finished, you have thought to include loading screens as Neo Geo CDZ machine?The only emulators that do is NCDZ from NJ and Neoraine, and I am almost sure that was a source code from NJ emulator, but now can´t find it....but i am searching for it, If i found it, I send it via MP if you want.

My best wishes for the neo cd driver, and excuse my english.
Regards!

Excuse double post, here is the last source from NJ Neo CDZ emulator, maybe it helps you.

The Simpsons sounds better now but not great, and left and right are still reversed.

If you're referring to the first post, that was the most preliminary source I had. I'm looking for the sources from CaptainCPS-X's build.

[kenshiro]

Yeah that's the best i've found. There is a thread with the sources you're speaking of, but the link is dead

good job

My friend sent me some PGM roms to look at and I managed to get one of the sets up and running (the other has issues still).  Interesting stuff.

Can anyone tell me more about this?

So I got all stupid and decided to port Kaneko's Air Buster: Trouble Specialty Raid Unit.  Quite a nice looking little game. ^^

I used to play Air Buster on the Genesis, it's a classic so thanks for the add!

Here's a MAME driver for kovqhsgs (see the previous screens), supposedly a bootleg running on actual PGM hardware. ^^

I'm sure this will find its way into MAME Plus.

[Haze]

if it's a real bootleg then it will make it into MAME eventually, assuming it's all been dumped properly.

I'd add it myself, but I guess Aaron will look at the 2008 date, even tho it's just a lame chinese bootleg / hack.

thanks.

i can confirm all 4 bootlegs are real.

Here's the descramble for the program roms for the other bootleg pgm sets. The games still don't work due to the missing arm7 rom though. Thanks to XingXing for confirming the descrambled rom is correct.

Code: [Select]

static void pgm_decode_kovlsqh2_program(running_machine *machine)
{
int i, j;
UINT16 *src = (UINT16*)(memory_region(machine, "maincpu") + 0x100000);
UINT16 *dst = alloc_array_or_die(UINT16, 0x400000);

for (i = 0; i < 0x400000 / 2; i++)
{
j = BITSWAP24(i, 23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 18, 17, 7);

dst[j] = src[i];
}

memcpy (src, dst, 0x400000);

free (dst);
}

Any news of adding NeoGeo CD into FBA? 

keep up the great work.
