@mitu said in It's possible to integrate Samurai Showdown Perfect in Retropie?:

EDIT: samsh5fe titlescreen is still 'Samurai Showdown V Special', maybe it's not the 'perfect edition'.

Fullname of samsh5fe is "Samurai Shodown V Special (Final Edition, location test version)", it is indeed what some people refer to as "Perfect Edition". The word "Perfect" feels kinda counterfeit though, afaik they simply removed some gameplay elements from "Samurai Shodown V Special" (probably making the game more casual in the process) to make room for a story mode.

Except if you are using a non-merged romset, you'll probably need its parent samsh5sp.

@fcibx6r1un said in It's possible to integrate Samurai Showdown Perfect in Retropie?:

From what I understand the "Perfect" edition of the game is an emulator that runs the "Special" edition, and overlays it with new content. It isn't a self-contained ROM.

To be more precise, the commercial emulator from "Samurai Shodown Collection" uses some quirks to replace the title screen and to add an english translation to the story mode. FBNeo use the raw romset and doesn't have any of those quirks.

There's a setting called "Parse Gamelists Only" in the Emulation Station menu (I don't remember where exactly right now, just bring up the menu and poke around) that would do what you're describing.

thx.... hope this information helps:

@g30ff Fair point. I wasn't sure how high I could go with MAME before it would hit the CPU limits. I'll switch to 2016 and see how it goes. Thanks!

@Zering said in Neogeo - Problems - Hours wasted.:

Your bios is all wrong for neocd, you should have a neocd.zip and a neocdz.zip and they should not be in a separate folder. I'll have to check later but they should be in your BIOS directory.

No, as i said, you are trying to launch games for 1 system (neogeo pocket games) with an emulator for another system (lr-neocd, which emulates neogeo cd) while using the bios for a third system (neogeo mvs/aes). You need to decide on 1 system.

If it's for your father, you can never go wrong with neogeo aes/mvs, which was the dream console for anyone from my generation. Neogeo cd was the "cheap" version of that console, and while emulation cancel its main drawback (loading time), the graphics are still inferior to the mvs/aes and the games use more storage, so i don't recommend it. Neogeo pocket was a handheld, and a niche one.

Documentation about neogeo emulation is there : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Neo-Geo/ . You'll have to read all of it and the linked documentation specific to the emulator you'll chose, otherwise i think you can give up on neogeo emulation.

@Zering
yep
asked help there
thanks :)

@UberLumby seems like the usual incomplete neogeo.zip issue

@AndersHP Well, "in the hunt" is not a neogeo game, but whatever.
With you not mentioning at all the emulators you are using, i have a hard time making sense of your issue tbh (are you even using libretro/retroarch cores for those systems ? i would expect the standalone amiberry to be the recommended amiga emulator, and the mame libretro cores to not allow disabling raster irq this way).
Or are you saying you are playing neogeo on amiga ? Is there a neogeo emulator on amiga ? Why would it run an irem m92 game though ? O_o

@Unknown You don't have to do that. You separate Neo Geo CD from the rest in your es_systems.cfg and create a retroarch.cfg and emulators.cfg for Neo Geo CD and you're all good.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Totally confused with MAME:

I also prefer FB-Neo for NeoGeo

NeoGeo is one of the few systems where FBNeo has an edge even against current MAME (let alone a 17 years old version of MAME), so yeah, i recommend it.

@sirhenrythe5th said in NEO-GEO Shoot 'em up - Help Me Remember:

Alpha Mission 2

This is definitely it. Also happens to be my absolute favorite Neo-Geo game. =)

@matchaman Thank you for the work! I matched all the neogeo roms from the full dat and the neogeo dat, finding a difference of 1 rom (158 vs 159)...but i realized that was only the bios file "neocdz"! Thank you very much!

@RpiBeginner feels like a defective sd card for me

with a CRT display there's a certain amount of image retention which makes these fast flickering shadows appear just as transparent grey, with the floor visible underneath. i thought there's shaders out there that fake the same effect for modern screens, but i can't find them...

@mitu said in NeoGeo not RUN lr-fbneo and any emulators:

have that BIOS file

Yes. Old bios not work. My friend resent me bios and him work. Thank you. IDK why old bios not work.

@barbudreadmon
Yeah, it was the principality of it, saving and loading game specific options in a global config. I think I could not get either the macros or cabinet settings to work this way, rendering them beyond completely pointless. I think the actual cabinet settings for the retroarch core are saved in /roms/neogeo/FBA/ along with high score, and I don't know what was up with the macros.

@mitu ok

i dont have anything different with the neogeo core other then the overlay. so adding the line to disable override is going to work for me.

but still knowing a different way is good to know just in case

Tried it for some days now, seems to work!
Thank your very much barbudreadmon!!!
