[Guide] Play Neo Geo CD games using FBNeo

Well, can’t make it work on android. “Failed to load content” is the message. :frowning:

Tried 32 and 64bit. :frowning:also, bioses are on the right place, it’s the same bios I use on MESS…

I have had the issue where it fails twice. Try selecting the Load Neo Geo CD option again, and choose the ISO file. It for whatever reason sometimes works on the first try, and sometimes the second.

This option won’t even appears to me. :frowning:

I got it to work but when I fast forward it stops playing and get a Error

Update the fba core and your RetroArch version

The only game that works with music I have tested is puzzle booble because it has no mp3 tracks, I hope the music gets fixed some day, with this core you get great performance on Android.

I use lr-mess on my pi. It has ngcd chd and cd audio support.

What if you have the option of system files being in their own folders on? Does the bios still go in system folder or system/fb_alpha?

And does the game folder HAVE to be named ‘Neo Geo CD Games’?

Does it have to use separate mp3 track files? I always converted to single bin/cue before switching to chd.

How do you convert them?

When I load the .cue or .bin file I go to Bios Screen but when I press play it won’t load.

Why?

The core does not support bin/cue, only iso (and zip/7z)

So just convert them into .iso Files?

And IF so - What be the best Way?

I too am getting failed to load content. It seems like a bios issue and I’ve tried several.

.wav tracks now supported guys, crossed Swords 2 awesome soundtrack finally works.

Again, i can’t understand why you guys wanna play games available on aes/mvs with neocd instead, most of the time the graphics got butchered on neocd, just compare AOF3 mvs VS neocd and you’ll notice :

  • sprites shrinked
  • 1st plan elements (barrels, …) disappeared

Neocd lacked memory, so they had to remove things when the aes/mvs version was “too big” (which is generally the case on most recent games).

No argument that this might not be the best version of most games. The guide was put together mainly because i saw so many people asking how to make this work in the forums. I’ve added your word of warning to the first post here.

Got everything in the right place. Keep getting failed to load content. Tried about different bios. Still nothing. Trying to run neo drift CD.

Got everything in the right place. Keep getting failed to load content. Tried multiple bios still nothing FBA will load regular neo Geo fine.

Working for me. Keep in mind, as the guide above says it may fail the first time you load the game, but it works the second time (assuming you have all the right files). You could also try it from the command line to see what errors you get.
