Hi there!
Just read that MAME could handle NeoGeo games. Can anybody tell me if they're faster/better than with GnGeo2x? Just wondering, since MAME uses Reesys' Z80 core which seems to be quite faster than the "normal" C core...

Use GnGeo2X for all your neo-geo desires.... It's a lot better than MAME

Gngeo2x also use some ASM code en use optimised Z80 core

Does GnGeo2x uses the Cyclone core, too?

Yes.
And I'm working on Drz80 support.

If you need a hand, let me know.

Pepone & Reesy, should = Great things to come.

I can't wait .

ps. Reesy, what are you upto lately ?

I play them on MAME just because it's more convenient, haven't gotten around to figuring out gngeo, I just remember seeing lots of posts of people trying to figure out which roms to use and having to use scripts and it looked like too much of a headache to get working right. With the MAME version you can use CLRMAME and get good roms easily.

actually there is a choice of frontends now, no scripts required. and also as long as you get mame roms, it should be absolutely fine - the vast majority of games have been seen to work now.

If you use GNGeo make sure to set the sample rate to 11025 to get decent speeds when sound is on. If left at the default 22050 KHz games will be too choppy when sound is on.

is there a romrc file that has support for the rest of the romsets that seem to be missing or is it because gngeo doesn't support it?
