Hi,

Here is a public release of my NeoGeo emulator frontend compatible with GnGeoLibs for android! You'll find attached the full apk for free, but you can buy it from the market if you like my work and want to support me :)

Here is the market link and description : https://market.android.com/details?id=fr.mydedibox.neodroid

- Download and install neodroid apk AND gngeolibs apk
- Put bios archive (neogeo.zip) inside your roms directory
- Put roms anywhere but in the same directory as your bios file (neogeo.zip)
- Compatible with mame roms format (from "www.rom-world.com" for example)
- Run at full speed on 1GHZ+ devices
- Compatibility should be the same as the GnGeo version 0.8 emulator

Hi Melchizedeck,

you should try neogeo bios and roms from rom-world.com (but not the neogeo ones, the mame ones). I'll try to add debug output on rom loading for next release.

No problem for a refund mauaus, just send me your order number.

I did try mslugx.zip and ssideki.zip and both worked here. You should (if you have the time) download neogeo.zip from rom world and mslugx.zip from there too to be sure (the mame version one).

Can i also ask what is your device?

    Hi, i'm really sorry for the delay. I did manage to find the time to upload and update the first post with the newest available version, which should solve some issues with ICS and Jelly bean devices.

    Thanks for the support :)

    So using root explorer I extracted the neogeo folder placed the aes.BioBin in the folder and the rezipped all
    All the files and it recreated the neogeo.zip which............... Still did the same thing. I think I'm about to just take my losses on this one
    Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium

    here's the neogeo.zip .. just place it in the folder where your roms are. also if it doesn't work try with different roms from other websites the emuparadise.org is the best but you are not limited there so many others.. thats the one i created myself please try it. and let me know.. hey never give up when you trying something at least get close to figure it out. you should be fine. good luck!
