neorage?

[beatfreakinbadger]

hey peeps.....

was just wondering if neorage (im using 5.0) is compatable with hyperspin?
have only seen seen a few people mention kwaks.
have had a quick play with some settings, but cant get it to load? was thinking that it might have something to do with the in built games menu?

Why do people use different emulators for Neo Geo in the first place? MAME seems to run every Neo Geo game fine.

A long time ago, if someone had a crappy computer NeoRage was a heck of a lot faster than Mame at emulating the NeoGeo. But that was when pc's were sub 800mhz, I doubt a lot of people still have those.

its just something that I have always used...... when I started playing neo geo games most of the mame titles were incomplete, thats all.
but hey.... I can take a hint lol! ;)

for what it's worth.... have spent the past couple of hours trying to set up easy mame just to play neo geo games. apart from trying to source the complete collection (which i had in neorage) and being new to mame, i'm slowly finding out that (correct me if I'm wrong) I have to match the roms set I get to the version of mame that I use and presumably the dat file that I'll be using with it, if I dont then most of the games in the list will show up as not working, even if they do in kawaks for example? And with each new release some games will work and others will not?

this is prob the main reason most people dont tend to use mame for neo geo emulation...... download emulator..... download roms...... download bios.... put each in correct folder and play. much easier?

Shock Troopers 2, Metal Slug 2, and maybe some I haven't tried, stutters on MAME but NeoRage runs these games real smooth that is probably why most people still want to use neorage over Mame with Neogeo Roms. But the problem,as what I've read on another thread, was that NeoRage doesn't have command line support(or something) that is why neorage can't be run with HyperSpin.

that's becausethe goal of MAME is perfect hardware emulation - those games stuttered on their original boards. MS2 is especially renown for that, which is basically why they released MSX
