@lionel_Z80 Just managed to get the games via nile on Linux and tested your script. It works great. Thanks. :)

Thank you for your feedback! It gave me the strength to create two new scripts: one for Ghost Pilots, and one for Art of Fighting 3, which are also available on Prime Gaming right now. They are here: https://github.com/lioneltrs/goNCommand

Edit: it should now work with FBNeo (with the correct CRC32). Now, thanks to kind contributors, there are scripts for the following games: Ninja Commando, Ghost Pilots, Art of Fighting 3, Magician Lord, Ninja Master's, Crossed Swords, Sengoku, Super Sidekicks, The Last Blade 2, Robo Army, Samurai Shodown IV, Last Resort.

@lionel_Z80 Scripts working on Linux. Thanks. :) Metal Slug 4 and Ninja Master's is also available. An own thread/discussion for your scripts would be a good idea I think. I have to check how this works in detail. :D

Edit: Roms not running on my Odroid Go Super. I'm checking this the next days. Perhaps another emulator works.

Hello!

So I have been dumping and playing my GBA games for a while now for use with RetroPie. And I was curious if I could share my method on how I do it. It does require a little bit of GameCube/Wii homebrew so I dunno

@DolphinCube
As far as I can tell, this topic mainly covers how to legally obtain roms without dumping them. Rom dumping is discussed in the Docs.

@lionel_Z80 This is amazing, thanks for this! I hope all the titles can get included eventually.

I updated the scripts. Thanks to many contributions, there are now 23 Neogeo games that are converted to romsets compatible with FBNeo.

Cinemaware titles to be delisted from GOG:

At least 2 of those are emulated, and I vaguely remember Defender of the Crown also being emulated.

For anyone that got Metal Slug 4 on Prime, is it possible to rebuild the ROM from its included files? It has some suspiciously-looking files (s1.bin, sp_4j.bin, sp_4s.bin, m1.bin, s2.bin, p1.bin, v1.bin, c1.bin) in a suspiciously-named folder ("rom"), but I can't seem to find a dat file that can get clrmamepro to rebuild it.

Repugnant Bounty, GBC homebrew, is to be delisted "ASAP" from Steam.

From the dev's post on X/Twitter:

Repugnant Bounty will be removed from Steam ASAP due to their continuous refusal to accept my bank information and their poor developer experience. If you wanted the game on Steam you should get it immediately.

Steam link:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2652410/Repugnant_Bounty/

The game is emulated and is also on Itchio.

Idk, if it was listed already here, but Rogue64 (2022, 5 USD) could be something if you are into roguelike, dungeon-crawler games. TIL they also will release an Amiga version of it later this year. 😎
