The image for NeoDC says 9.2, but it's the latest release. I'm on linux and being slaped by Gimp in the face
Sorry, there's no readme into it, as i said, it's for my personal use
Just wanted to share.

Take a look here: http://www.egameaddiction.com/neogeocd/loadtimes.html

This site have neogeoCD / CDZ loadtimes so you can compare with DC

i'm fairly certain that NeoDC loads at least 4x faster, because i'm fairly certain i've waited for the startup of metal slug more than anyone else here and its DEFINETLY under 10 seconds.

10 seconds? Sweet.

Nobody can satisfy everyone. Karsten should thank quzar for not having time for a coffee break during the loadings. Like the original NeoGeoCD and its 1x cd-rom drive

I'm never gonna add over/underclocking features because they would create issues that i dont wanna be responsible for, and frameskip, well, i dont feel that even in its current state its needed, so why ever have that. the only possible thing that it could be used for would maybe be resetting (to allow for a new game to be inserted without restarting the DC) and re-positioning the screen.

I think though, if I did screen re-positioning, it would be enabled in the same area as the region selection (which everyone seems to ignore) and would be saved to the vmu so that it is automatically loaded every time. oh and by screen repositioning, i don't mean screen resizing, because that would mean warping the image.

and about the speed, i dont have a real NGCD to test it, but the DC loads as fast as possible, and i dont think its that slow.

screen repositioning is an option as i said, reset would be nice, so a key config, a save state and a "silence cd music" option, but this is just me...

Good point.

I didn't blame anyone. I know all about NEOGEOCD loading times.

by the way, another report:

windjammers

a little (really little) slow. Perfect ingame grafics, some problems wityh transparencies and background displaing in menus and game text. cda tracks wait long time after the track is finished before playing again (but i guess this can't be helped at all)

I made a CD using Selfboot. Everything loaded fine, but when I put in a a compatable game disc, it just goes to a black screen and hangs.
I tested all of these discs on my XBOX, and they worked fine.

I dunno? did you put the bios on the disc too?

XDelusion · Post by **XDelusion** » Wed Feb 23, 2005 7:22 am

oh ya...

VERY cool! It's a shame the DC doesn't seem fast enough to handle the load though. :/

On that compatability chart, they should mention how fast the stuff plays as well.

User reports are so varying and incorrect that its really not worth it. Even if they have a point of reference the count is varied.

Most every game runs between 70-100% with sound and 100% without.

How do you disable the sound, or get to any options for that matter?

When booting hold start to switch region.

Left trigger is sound toggle. Those are the only options you need, and they're the only ones there =P.

Hey is a Neo Geo CD a mixed compilation of data and music?
So e.g. Data track 1st and music 2nd, 3rd, 4th ...
