GxGeo is a port of the open-source GnGeo emulator, originally coded by pepone. This is a Neo-Geo AES/MVS emulator.

Testing

Please remember this is an early version and there are some bugs!
When you find a bug (and you will) post it on the Talk page along with your Wii Region/Video Mode (NTSC/PAL/SDTV/HDTV/etc) :) There are some bugs I already know about:

Sound error, short bzzt type noise accompanied by a pause
Loading of very large ROMs, will say out of memory and quit
Slow down in some large ROMs, I know about mslug2 so far

SOURCE CODE

I'd rather not release messy source code with probably more than a few mistakes in it, but if you you'd like it drop me a line on:

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 (ng-lo.rom)
sfix.sfx (ng-sfix.rom)

country files (neo-geo.rom)

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 (Uni Bios) in place of an country file and 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

23/11/2008 (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 :)

11/11/2008

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

10/11/2008

Development continues, a major reworking of the code is under way and nearly complete.
Sounds works, kinda - some bugs need fixing :)

05/09/2008

Video emulation is working well now
Sound is on the way :D

02/09/2008

Small ROMs load (not enough RAM for large ones)
SDL to GX 90% complete - expect a preview release soon :)

01/09/2008

Compiled with SDL-Port, runs at a reasonable speed
Started SDL to GX porting :)
