GxGeo is a port of the open-source GnGeo emulator, originally coded by pepone. This is a Neo-Geo AES/MVS emulator. Updates about this project can be found on the Google Code Page for GxGeo.

Due to memory limitations, ROMs that are bigger than 25MB will not work. Some ROMs can be modified to work.

Testing

Please remember this is an early version and there are some bugs!

When you find a bug post it on the Issue Tracking System page along with your Wii Region,Video Mode, etc.
You can also see existing bugs on the Issues page.

Installation

Extract the zip on to your SD card. The romrc contains information about ROM sets, if you only put the .rc files for the ROMs you have in that folder gxgeo will load faster :)
Your ROMs (zipped up) and BIOS files should go in /sd/gxgeo/roms

BIOS Files

required files:

000-lo.lo (sometimes named ng-lo.rom, must be renamed)
sfix.sfx (sometimes named ng-sfix.rom, must be renamed)

country files (sometimes named neo-geo.rom, must be renamed)

usa_2slt.bin - USA
vs-bios.rom - Japan
asia-s3.rom - Asia
sp-s2.sp1 - Europe

system files

aes-bios.bin - A.E.S:

You can use uni-bios.rom[1] in place of the country file or system file.

Controls

The Gamecube controller takes priority over the Wiimote, if you have a GC controller in port 1 then the GC Controller will control player 1 and the Wiimote will control player 2.

-== Development Log ==
-/11/2008 (latest)
-* Today I am happy enough with GxGeo to release it, the source code is a mess so I if you'd like it ask me for it - I'd rather not spread messy code and bad examples :)
-* I have only tested this release on a PAL SDTV but it should fit on an NTSC SDTV, no idea about HDTV hehe
-* There are still some sound issues, maybe just with PAL.. I'm not sure, more testing is required
-* This release will boot some large ROMs but not all of them will run at full speed - Metal Slug 2 is one of these
-* Larger ROMs (Metal Slug 3) will still not load - some kind of paging system is required :)
-/11/2008
-* Using MEM2 for loading the SOUND and GFX ROMs so some quite large ROMs will load, mslug2 included
-* mslug2 experiences quite a lot of slow down
-* A lot of ROMs are playable now, hopefully a release this weekend
-/11/2008
-* Development continues, a major reworking of the code is under way and nearly complete.
-* Sounds works, kinda - some bugs need fixing :)
-/09/2008
-* Video emulation is working well now
-* Sound is on the way :D
-/09/2008
-* Small ROMs load (not enough RAM for large ones)
-* SDL to GX 90% complete - expect a preview release soon :)
-/09/2008
-* Compiled with SDL-Port, runs at a reasonable speed
-* Started SDL to GX porting :)
