SOS Neo GEO CD + Mess2014 Core SETUP

No need to have empty zip files, my roms folder only have the CHD files and three bioses (neocd.zip (210 kb), neocdz.zip (209 kb) and neogeo.zip (1556 kb)) and their names are cleaner, like Art of Fighting (World).CHD, this is because I use Hyperspin+Rocket Launcher.

In Quick Menu, set media type to cdrm (this won’t affect other machines MAME emulates, all games should work, both zips and CHDs).

The above setting can be changed if you open any game MAME can emulate, open something like Final Fight, enter Quick Menu and set the above, save your config and try loading your NEO GEO CD game.

Any wrong file, like a different bios set for another emulator can cause the crash as well.

after days of testing, and recompiles from latest mame2014 source - i can say is that if you are on windows, the latest ume2014 from buildbot nighly(should be dated 11-30-2016) is worth keeping if you want to play neocd(and others on mame’s softwarelist), its the only of the working. mess2014(dated somewhere 9-xx-2016)from nightly is broken and i cant run any software on it-it just crashes ra. compiling from source just gives compile problems under windows.

the linux port is updated though but not sure if it has the same issue-i dont have linux to test.

Ok I’ve fix mame2014 build for windows should be in updater , although I don’t if it 'll work with neocd.

neocd is not working with the latest build sadly, its what i have been trying to run… it does run coleco rom so it probably is driver thing?

heres a log: http://pastebin.com/gMGLt3ua

then here is the log of the last version of ume2014 dated 11-30-2016 from buildbot that is working: http://pastebin.com/nGXiRDcd even the latest mame(181 is the only available in buildbot) run without doing anything with mame’s configs

the tests are done with a clean retroarch-core-config files.
