INSTALLATION:
- Copy the folder Gngeo in your Emulation section, start the executable in the shell with your command, use version with native GUI , or use NeoGUI 51.4 (minimum) on http://os4depot.net/. (important delete your OLD prefs for NeoGUI and reboot your "miga" please).
-NeoGeo BIOS files are required, Copy neogeo.zip and uni-bios.rom BIOS on "bios" dir
=> required on the neogeo.zip
>000-lo.lo
>aes-bios.bin
>asia-s3.rom
>neodebug.rom
>sfix.sfx
>sm1.sm1
>sp-e.sp1
>sp-j2.rom
>sp-s.sp1
>sp-s2.sp1
>sp1.jipan.1024
>usa_2slt.bin
>vs-bios.rom
- NeoGeo ROMS files are required, Copy your all roms on "Roms" dir (for better compatibility see recent install roms from MAME World)
- Launch, choice your rom and enjoy
IMPORTANT: YUV, OpenGL and OpenGL2X don't support effect's (very slow) use effects with soft blitter please.
Options "save state" and "load state" are experimental that can crash the machine.
On MORPHOS NO SUPPORT OPENGL RENDER

All boolean options can be disabled with --no-OPTION
(Ex: --no-sound turn sound off)

Helper Option:

--autoframeskip

Enable auto frameskipping. The program will determine the best frameskip value to avoid lagging the gameplay on a machine that is too slow to emulate at full speed.

--blitter=STRING

Use the specified blitter. -b help will provide a list of available blitters. soft, opengl, and yuv are typical choices.

--country=STRING

Set the country code to japan, usa or europe

--debug

Enable gngeo's internal debugger, for hacking, cheating, or fixing bugs.

--effect=STRING

Use the specified video effect. -e help will provide a list of available effects.

--fullscreen

Start gngeo in fullscreen mode.

--hwsurface

Use a SDL hardware surface for the emulator's video. This can improve performance if your video hardware/drivers are fast.

--interpolation

Enable interpolation from one frame to the next. This can make the display look "smoother", but has a performance penalty.

--joystick

Enable joystick support.

--pal

Use PAL timings. This currently has bugs.

--p1control=ARRAY

--p2control=ARRAY

Player 1 and Player 2 keyboard and joystick mappings, respectively. (need more details)
exemple: --p1control=A=K122,B=K120,C=K97,D=K115,START=K49,COIN=K51,UP=K273,DOWN=K274,LEFT=K276,RIGHT=K275,MENU=K27,UP=J0a0,DOWN=J0a1,LEFT=J0A0,RIGHT=J0A0,A=J0B3,B=J0B2,C=J0B1,D=J0B0,COIN=J0B8,START=J0B9,HOTKEY1=J0B10,HOTKEY2=J0B11
IMPORTANT: For your prefs "gngeorc" change this parameters please:
for joystick: J=joystick 0=number of joystick A=analogic H=digital 0=the hat (important: for inverse the fonction is "a" and not "A")
For keyboard is letter K

--raster

Enable the raster interrupt. (need more details)

--rompath=[path]

Give the path to locate the ROM collection. The default is to look in PROGDIR:Roms/, but your ROM collection is most likely not there. :)

--confpath=[path]

Give the path to locate the CONF collection. The default is to look in PROGDIR:conf/, but your CONF collection is most likely not there. :)

--sound

Enable sound emulation.

--showfps

When the emulator is started, show a frames-per-second count. This can be used to gauge a baseline performance for the emulation.

--sleepidle

Enabling this option will cause the emulator to give up time to the system when it is idle. It can incur a performance penalty, but can also make the emulator "nicer" to the rest of the system.

--system=STRING

This option allows you to set the type of the emulated system to home or arcade, depending on how you prefer to play your games. There are some differences in many games if they detect a home system instead of an arcade system.

--scale=N

Upscale the resolution by N. For example, if N is 3, the Neo-Geo output, which is normally 320x224, will become 960x448 (create new screenmode: MODE=640x480@60
MODE=848x480@60. You may encounter a mode which is not hardware accelerated when using this option.

--samplerate=N

Set the sound sample rate to N. N will typically be 11025, 22050 or 26000.

--transpack=STRING

Use the specified transparency pack (need more details), The default is to look in PROGDIR:/bld

--help

Show summary of options.

F1 => Reset Neogeo Rom
F2 => Save screenshots on DIR "/PROGDIR/shots"
F3 => Test switch ON
F4 => Test switch OFF
F5 => Show fps ON:OFF
F10 => Autoframeskip ON/OFF
F11 => Sleep IDLE ON/OFF
F12 => Fullscreen / window mode
ESC => Menu with all prefs and choice
p => Pause game
