I been working on a new NeoGeo CD module that will allow us to open up this new dialog and select the game from there.
How do this work? well this new module will first Scan the specified directory where the NGCD games are located. For example this will scan the following directory structure:
C:\NeoGeoCD\ <-------- Specified directory
the scan will check for directories in the specified path, like this...
C:\NeoGeoCD\King of Fighters '98\
C:\NeoGeoCD\Metal Slug\
C:\NeoGeoCD\Metal Slug 2\
...etc
Note: The module doesn't care about the sub-directories names, or the file names.
As the module scan each one of the directories, it will look for a file with .CUE extension first. If found it will then Parse the CUE contents and retrieve the ISO file from there. If a CUE is not found, then it will rescan the current directory for a file with ISO extension.
After acquiring the ISO, the module will now verify approx. 264 bytes per sector until the 68K ROM header is found. When found it will get the NeoGeo CD unique ID and get all the information from my recently made module. This is done very quickly.
The information will then be immediately added to the ListView and continue with the next directory.
The new Game Selection window specifically for NeoGeo CD will be able to display Front Cover and Back Cover of the selected game, and serve as a platform for other future features.
Its very late now so I will give lot more details later
, I need to sleep xD LOL.
I hope you like this new feature
SeeYaa!
