Neo Geo X Build
-
@legacy
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad the theme is useful to you. It was a real shame about the Neogeo X, with a bit more care it could have been great. I only have the dock but I was impressed with the build quality so I feel it was mainly the software that let it down.I don't have neogeo X stick but may get one, I have mayflash sticks though which are also very good and give that nice arcade feel you need for playing Neo geo games :D

@linuxarcadeguy said in Neo Geo X Build:
as for niche appeal, ive posted pics of it in some forums and people are asking where to get it and i tell them its by the famous @ruckage of the known retropie themes, i really beg to differ on how "niche" it really is as in my circles of travel its turning heads, as people LOVE Neo-Geo and probably want it for an actual arcade cabinet, because its perfect for that, especially those who need 4:3/5:4 for arcade monitors.
I think the theme is fairly niche as it isn't a simple to use theme as it requires specific preview images etc - you can't just install it and get it working. It's also obviously very limited regarding systems so doesn't have mass appeal.

@ruckage ill post a video when complete, i would like to ask your permission to post the modified version for those who have neo-geo themed cabinets and want to use it... please wait to see my completed modifications before deciding.
-
I decided to add the videos to each game on the selection screen and they work really well. Capcom and Neogeo complete. The neogeo x is an ultimate arcade machine now. Awesome.
-
Hello @ruckage will you make an "Arcade Classics" selection menu anytime soon? I made a few by altering your theme but I'm not really satisfied... :(

Ruckage said he will create a generic Arcade system for this theme. The thing is, he is busy with updating his other theme (Snes-Mini) which is very popular and requests from various people keep coming in that he doesn't have much time to spend on this great NeoGeo theme.
And of course now we all are or should be busy with family and other private things especially in times like these considering that Christmas is just around the corner. ;-)Just be patient it will come.

My question was more aimed at @Stuart2773 since he already has one done.

Il probably just stick to Neogeo and CPS games in the long run.
4-3 CRT TV.
16-9 HDMI TV.

Hey everyone, forgive me if this has been asked before, but would this support video snaps? (ps, whether it does or doesn't it's stinking slick looking. Great work)
-
@skainlurmis yes,
All the games I have added include videos. Each video sample is around 2 minutes long on each game selection.

Hi everyone,
I just found this topic 1 week ago. I made some custom categories on this theme and I have some questions.
But, first of all, BIG THANKS to the author for his work !!!! This theme is soooo amazing !!! I got a NeoGeo X dock and it is the perfect theme for this !
Now, this is the problem i have : I made these categories : arcade-fighting, arcade-shmup, arcade-misc, configuration (it contains customs scripts to change/load gamepad configurations), (+ neogeo, capcom, retropie). When i use all these categories at the same time, it seems EmulationStation can't follow.
I got a black screen instead the background.png or the background is flashing all the time. The mask is flashing all the time too. Is it a problem of memory with ES ? or did I make a mistake ?To create a new category, I just copy an original one (neogeo) and I changed the *.png files.
For info, this is my config : Fresh Retropie installation (4.3) on a Raspberry Pi 3. memory_slit : 256.
For the author, I don't know if I can share my work on your theme (disclamer in readme) but if you are interested, I can upload it.

So I dug my neogeo stick it out of the closet to see if I can mod it and not feel like crap. I found out you can. I own the PS3 Neogeo Stick 2 licensed by SNK but the mod should work on original and Neogeo X sticks.
Now it feels good. I replaced the buttons with sanwa 24mm. While they do snap in, they don't sit flush. They don't fall out but I'll hotglue them in the future just in case. I wanted grey to match the originals but sanwa doesn't produce them in 24mm. The ball top I replaced with a red sanwa bat top I had lying around. I also wasn't satisfied with the original spring since it wouldn't center the stick correctly. I bought a seimitsu ls-56 spring, it's a tiny bit stronger and hardly noticeable but it does the job to keep the stick centered.
-
Well done!
Sanwa doesn't have the screw type buttons in 24mm? Those should fit nicely.These here I mean.
Red would match too. -
@flyingtomahawk Not in white, and white was my second choice over grey. Some have gone with the arcade look of red,yellow,green, blue but I just don't prefer them. It's all good. It's enjoyable now.
-
this is amazing i just got an X and this is just what i needed just one question how do i add the FBA and MAME
-
hey sorry to be a pain but i downloaded the theme and i got the neo geo stuff up and going but where do i add all my CPS1,2 and 3 roms
-
@8bithero
I not sure, but most likely they run perfect with FBA. So try that folder ;)
