Getting Started for a Project - Neo Geo CD Emulator with Cd-rom

thedeath
thedeath over 7 years ago

Hello, i'm manuele from italy.

I'm a videogame entusiast since many many years and i would like to try make a project starting from 0 knowledge about raspberry pi and his possibilities, i would like to ask some question with you and people already deep in this world if i can see my project is capable of being realized.

The emulation scene is really strong today and by time people was able to make emulators for pretty much any system available, one of them is about the NEO GEO CD (Neogeo-sdl), was ported from dos/windows to Playstation2, Original Xbox and Dreamcast.

This emulator has a cool feature that let you play directly by using original cd-rom games, and for people into the retrogaming scene, it's really o cool feature since the original gaming hardware is famous for having long time loadings and bad reliability overall.

 

I would like to know if should be possible to made a new "system" by using this emulator (ported or re-coded) + cd-rom on the raspberry Pi.

What i would like to have is a new "machine" that straight boots into this emulator and let you play the games on a tv by reading the discs, just like the same emulator does on the other consoles or windows itself.

 

Do you think this is a project that could be done or i just be dreaming about too much?

    I downloaded it and there were some compilation errors. As I said, I don't have a lot of time to spend on it right now. There is a readme file that gives instructions, but you will have to sort out the compilation errors.

     

    My strongest suggestion would be to contact the developer on the site and see if they could port it to the Pi. It might even be worth it to buy them a Pi to work with. They would certainly get more exposure for their project.

    The boot time can be reduced in some ways. Check the out the Retropie page. There is documentation for reducing boot time.

     

    The emulator could be run without the need of Retropie immediately after boot if the Pi properly configured. This would likely require the creation of a script to run the emulator on boot.

    I'll try, sadly the project was stuck into 2005, i hope those people still willing to work on it.

    How do you compile this? Can you share me a guide or teach me how to do that? I literally don't even know what that means. Sorry to bother your, i just need to make first steps and by alone is way harder than ever

    What happens with the project did it succeed or you give up. It would be nice to send some images of the Neo Geo project if you still use it or you send to the trash.
