Newer hacks patches and games in linux - a how to


Recommended Posts

I decided to break down and write this because i remember all the headache i went through when i first switched to linux. the constant rebooting into windows and all the hours searching on the net just to get all my roms to stop eating hardrive space and be put to use so here goes...

 

Your first option if you have a bit of pc knowledge is compiling your own xmame... which is well worth it

if you have the time...and plus you can mock those win32 users by playing your svcplus in opengl !!!

it also has different ports and choices of video modes,such as sdl x11 dga and xv.. you can also play your xmame in text mode if you so desire..but like mame you must add your own drivers...

 

xmame can be found at http//x.mame.net

 

Another option for those of you with slower pc's or that don't want to recompile and add drivers is gngeo. Gngeo is very much like winkawaks and neorage.. but unlike these you need no "special" version or older hacked loader.. The latest beta2 is already supports all the newer kof's including 3 kof2003 versions, the newer Metal Slug games... etc.. this emulator is very fast and is said to run faster

than neorage...it is also open source so you can customise it to your needs.. and yes you can taunt the windows users with it also by playing your games in opengl.. it even supports adding games very much like that of nebula and winkawaks..this can be accomplished with a "romrc" file which is very simular to nebula, winkawaks dats... with this particular emulator its a good idea to use decrypted neogeo sets or neorage ones... heres some extra games i added to mine...

Our third option is runnning neoragex in linux (huh in linux?)

yes you can run neorage buy using the wine emulator.... wine is a windows emulator and works with

neoragex... in example in command prompt wine./neoragex..poof an emulator running an emulator

just remember to use the command xrandr -s 0 to get your screen back to its regular resolution

 

as far as patching roms with ips patches there is a script just for that written in perl

which is ips.pl.. also you can use wine on some of the windows.exe patches and in most case it will work fine.. other patches can be ran using dosemu and freedos

 

So here we have it no more need to turn orochi because you use linux Enjoy !!!!!
