NEO.emu

I had been looking for a neo geo emulator for at least a month. On each game. Half of my games wouldn't work, and the controls were bonkers. When ai launched the system, it was able to tell me rhe issue right off and now I can play all of them. I love the .EMU series, but this one was especially good for a complex console.

I was extremely hesitant to pay for this as I've been unable to get the neogeo.zip and assocaited rom set to work with the latest version of MAME (2.06). I ultimately just wanted to run Neo Geo on my android, where I have my Sega Genesis and SNES emulators, and I so I took a chance with this. I was really surprised to see that it worked immediately, all I had to do was transfer over the roms and most of them work. There are a few exceptions, maybe 30% of the ones I've tried so far don't work and result in some error indicating that some file is missing but most of them do. Growing up with the original Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Boy and SNES I always wanted to play games on Neo Geo but never could and the thing was extremely rare owing to how expensive it was. All I can say is WOW, if I had seen the quality of these titles when I was younger I would have been BLOWN completely away. This app works great, there is some slowdown with my phone, Samsung Galaxy S7, but that's to be par for the course with emulation. Maybe a brand new $800 Galaxy S9 or equivalent can run it but yeah, it's not that bad, and I'm not even sure it's not how the slow down was with the original Neo Geo

This emulator works great once you find a room site that has working ROMs! So that's why some have a problem. Getting working ROMs is a little harder than say for a snes emulator. But if you Google search safe sites you will find one fairly quickly. As for controller lag? Nope! Haven't had this at all! Playing Blazing Star, Metal Slug, Last Resort etc no issues. These are games that demand quick response, so you would know it if it was happening. I am using an 8bitdo sf30 pro on a galaxy tab 3.

Reading thru reviews, knowing that there will be issues, I still got it today (6-5-20) & there are indeed quite a few problems. It runs good enough, but there are issues, esp some games just don't work (BTW, I only tried handful of games so far). The following games are stuck on the initial blue screen: KOF 2003, Metal Slug 5, & SNK vs. Capcom doesn't work. And for KOF 2001, the life bar is missing :) Temporary solution? I play all of those games on MAME4droid (0.139u1) instead, which works fine. For the record, I use LG G8X phone, Android 10. Please fix those issues. I know you can do better, as I own majority of your emu apps, PCE.emu being my favorite, thanks. Also guys roms should be compatible with Mame 0.139u1 (just google), & also you have to have Neo Geo Bios (don't unzip) on the same folder as your roms. Happy gaming.

SVC Chaos: How do You get SVC Chaos to work on this emulator??? It's the only one I can't get to play and I've tried all different versions and copies of it. Please Help! :(

I had originally rated this one star, but have since figured out how to get it running. First and foremost, YOU NEED TO PROVIDE YOUR OWN BIOS FILES. I did not expect this, given all the other ".emu" emulators don't require it. Also, the arcade bios has noticeable input lag. Fortunately, the console bios doesnt have this issue. Sadly, "SNK vs Capcom" won't work on the console bios.

No picture on Galaxy Tab A7. Games run and controllers are detected but black screen. Tried all suggestions. Funny thing is in options I can use system memory, openGL PBO and Hardware buffer (none of these show a picture,but games run)however I cant change GPU copy mode to "(Auto)optimal mode" for some reason. It just keeps reverting to "Hardware buffer". I'm fairly certain this is the issue. My SNK games however run flawlessly on the Galaxy Tab A7 using the Mame4driod emulator. Go figure. Sorry about 1 star, but I cant rate what I cant see. Id definitely say 4 or 5 stars if it was sorted.

Probably the best Neo Geo emulator for Android. It lets you pick from most all or possibly all Unibios settings. I've been using RetroArch for Neo Geo but this stand alone emulator is much better. Show a little patience and learn the settings. You will be rewarded with Neo Geo emulation that is beautiful and accurate. There are far more useful settings than original hardware. I LOVE THIS APP!!

Runs well, Looks nice and seems perfect for devices such as the GPD XD Plus however there is severe input lag on this emulator so special moves in fighters will be tricky to pull off unless you're compensating for the input lag. Shame, Otherwise like the rest of the .emu series it'd be perfect.

This is very simple to get running. Honestly if you know about Neo Geo you should be able to figure this app out. It runs very well. Metal slug plays better on my note8 than on my actual real Saturn version of the game. 3.99 is a steal for this. I should know, I have TWO working AES systems, and many games.

Works perfectly! great on my note 8! So easy to set up! Simply go to your My Files or whatever. Click onto internal storage. Create Folder Neo Geo. click on Neogeo folder. create a ROMS folder. now go download Neogeo.zip for Mame file. next dl a Neogeo Mame game rom file. it has to be a mame file. simply move those 2 files under the ROMS folder together. they have to both be in the ROMS folder. boot up and OYE! Got game! do the same with any other Neogeo mame rom to play. Good job Robert!👏🏼!

Love the emulator, except one simple thing: when using an Xbox one controller, sometimes, it don't want to work while playing. Fix that, and it'll be back 5 stars.

A truly amazing NEO GEO emulator. Took me a while to learn how to hook it up, but in the end I was able to play multiple games that I've either hadn't played in years or just simply never played before. Thank you so much for this good sir!

bad, doesn't work. I can't load any games. don't waste your money

Crashes everytime you select a rom directory.

This emulator needs a lot of trial and error. My mistake was using FBA roms, when I used the correct version of MAME roms, it worked very well. The official website gave me so much clartiy on how it should work

Neo Geo games play well! Though there's some lag with controllers in this emulator during intense moments but other than that, very well done!

I don't think anybody provides better emulators on Android than Robert Broglia. Nor even Retroarch. If you want quality, you have to pay for it. Absolutely recommended!.

Emulator is great, but lacks compatibly with some of my favorite neo geo titles. Will give 5 stars as soon as the compability is improved.

Great Neo Geo emulator as long as you use MAME Neo Geo roms and not just standard Neo Geo roms then it will work just fine. You will have to search in the MAME directory of rom websites through all of the other rom game files to find the MAME Neo Geo roms, but it is worth it to have your own portable Neo Geo.

Tried playing Bust-A-Move on an Nvidia Shield TV Pro 2019 using an Xbox One controller (Bluetooth) and there is noticeable input lag.

Works very well. Can someone explain how to setup a BT gamepad? I am trying to use the nVidia Shield but it's not working. thanks.

Basic emulator, works great with android 10. You just need the correct roms.

Good Neo-Geo emulator!! But i can't run mslug5 its shows a blue screen!! Please fix it

Please inlcude landscape option in Video setting! It is helpful for Desktop mode on Android!

This app is a joke and there are no instructions. Perhaps it works but I'm done wasting my time trying to figure this out. Refund incoming.

Terrible experience couldn't play a rom wasn't going to waste time figuring out how to do something that should take less than 5 min.

Got neogeo,zip and still nothing works, I am trying the actual neo Geo ROMs also. Rather use mame4droid, I know that works

I really wanted to play metal slug. but this emulator keeps telling me an error occurred
