      @gvfo Btw, if you want to play the definitive versions of some neogeo cd games like the kof series, play them on a ps2 emulator like pcsx2..not on a pi of course. There's no load times in between rounds, and the music is continuous. In the neogeo cd versions, In round 2, the music restarts from the middle, and round 3 restarts the song over. The japanese versions of kof95/96/97 (haven't tried 98) have the arranged cd soundtracks while the american release does not.

        @darksavior Thanks for your tip. For a few moments I thought you were recommending me that PS2 compilation Orochi Saga.

        I kind of don't mind the music restarting from the middle, since they even made an alternative "beginning" to all songs. I found the loading in Pi amazing - around 1 or 2 seconds.

        If you like Neo Geo CD games you should try it too. I even feel like I could help a noobie like me to get it to run now. :)

          @gvfo Yea, I forgot the name. It is the ps2 compilation orochi saga, but the japanese version has 95,96,97 with arranged cd audio.
          Yea, the load times in the neocd emulators are fast, but the music restarting was always a long time annoyance. I do appreciate that it exists, though.
