NeoCD accepts as input a cue sheet file (CUE) or a MAME CHD file. As a result, NeoCD now exclusively run using CD-ROM images. Additionally I believe it is not possible to read the TOC of protected games without special drivers.
In the era of modern computers and portable devices, CD-ROMs are no longer convenient. ? Note: The hashes are given to help you verify the files have not been tampered with, the emulator doesn't verify them.
The files will be automatically byte swapped if needed. If several BIOSes are available, it will be possible to choose which to run in the Core Options Menu. ? Note: You need at least one in the following table. BIOS files are identified by contents so the name of the files don't matter. rom file in the neocd folder and any folder under it. The BIOS files should be installed in a neocd folder under RetroArch's system folder. To function NeoCD need a BIOS from a Front Loading, Top Loading or CDZ machine.

The goal is also to document all I know about the platform in the source code so other emulator authors can make their own implementations. It is designed with accuracy and portability in mind rather than being all about speed like the the older versions. Not included are unlicensed games, prototypes, Neo Geo Pocket Color games, or Hyper Neo Geo 64 games.NeoCD-Libretro is a complete rewrite of NeoCD from scratch in modern C++11. Listed here are all 158 officially licensed Neo Geo games, including all 149 MVS games, all 118 AES games, and all 97 Neo Geo CD games. Homebrew development for the system started after the console was discontinued, both by noncommercial hobbyists and commercially.
SNK continued creating software for the system up until 2004, even after the company ceased manufacturing the home consoles in 1997. One million Neo Geo MVS units have been shipped worldwide as of April 1997. Both the Neo Geo AES and the Neo Geo CD have sold 980,000 units combined worldwide as of March 1997. In 1994, the Neo Geo CD was released as a cheaper alternative compared to the AES.
The home system had the exact hardware specifications as its arcade counterpart, which allowed it to bring exactly the same arcade experience for home users. Originally launched in the arcades, Neo Geo offered arcade owners the ability to insert up to six different game cartridges into a single arcade cabinet, while the home console counterpart was originally a rental-only system for video game stores in Japan but this was later reversed due to high demand and price, coming into the market as a luxury console. This page lists every game released for all three Neo Geo formats. Most games were first released on the MVS then rereleased for the home consoles, however some never saw a home console release and eight games were released exclusively for the Neo Geo CD. Each system features similar hardware and runs the same library of games through different media formats. It was released in three different iterations a 24-bit cartridge-based arcade system board called the Multi Video System (MVS), a cartridge-based home video game console called the Advanced Entertainment System (AES), and a CD-based home console called the Neo Geo CD. The Neo Geo is a video game platform developed and designed by SNK and supported from 1990 to 2004. Left to right: Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet, Neo Geo AES, and Neo Geo CD
