You´re gonna have to find it out there on the big big cyber highway!
Try google, remember the file must be 512kb.

I found that on www.DCEmu.co.uk :

A guide to burning Neo Geo Cd emu with Selfboot

Author DemoniusX

I notice some of you having a difficult time burning this emu, so I am goint lead you through a guide using selfboot you can get it on Dcemu's homepage and make sure you have either disc jugglar or nero
5 for this operation.

Step 1 :get selfboot.zip, make a folder called selfboot under your C drive,extract selfboot.zip in your "selfboot" folder

step 2 : download the latest neo cd emu version, after that make a folder called "neo CD" extract the emulator in this folder, after reading the docs,delete them. so that you just have the 1st_read.bin, Ip.bin
in your "neo cd folder" you don't have to read the docs if you don't want to.

Step 3:find the bios ( I am not telling where to get it either}
make sure you extract the bios under your "neo cd folder"
the correct Bios size is 512 kb

Step 4: line up the files in your "neo cd" folder in
this order

1st_read.bin
Ip.bin
neocd.bin

Step 5: back out of your "Neo CD" folder and go to your "selfboot" folder
click on the icon that says "SB" and the words "selfboot" right under the SB icon.

Step 6: you should have a window that says "browse for folder" pop up, go to your C: and click on your "Neo CD" folder and then click ok

Step 7: now selfboot will ask you what image you would like to create, if you are using disc jugglar choose "disc jugglar" and it will creat a cdi image for you. for nero users I would pick nero "DAO" and it will create a .nrg for you

Step 8: for disc juggler users} when your image is made, it will be under the "selfboot" folder. load your .cdi image and burn

step 9: for nero users} your image will be in the "selfboot" folder, double click on the image and nero will start up and tell you that it is ready to burn, burn and enjoy.

after burning is complete, stick this baby in your dc, turn it on, if you see the sega license screen and the emu screen, your good to go.

One final note, make sure your "selfboot" and your "neo cd" folders are in their own folder and on your c: drive ( or whatever letter your hard drive is} it will ensure a easy emu making progress.

PM me your address, I'll have it in the post for you tomorrow.

I'm having a problem. I burned the Neocd emulator like the tutorial instructed me to. I got this thing to only work once on both of my dreamcast. It loaded Metal Slug and thats it, it wouldn't load Metal Slug anymore or any of my other games. It just locks up at the "Please insert NEO-GEO game CD" screen. Whats going on? Playing Metal Slug was a tease for me I want to play everthing else but it just locks up on that screen. If this helps I burned one with Nero & Discjuggler and still the same thing.

I think you might be switch the discs out too quickly.

2 questions...

How good does Fatal Fury 3 run in this emulator?

and

Can it boot up in VGA?

Yes, It is normal. Version 6.5 is not a final version. It still has some problems. And this one is one of those.
Just wait for version 7.0

is multi player possible on 6.5? (sorry if i've missed a confirmation of this)
Keep up the good work.

Sorry, I didn't tried the multiplayer gaming.

But yesterday I tried the method explained on the tutorial and it waoks perfecty. I tried this ethod usind Nero. I couldn't try with discjuggler cauve my version was out of date.
To make it works, you must be sure to have the good version of neo geo CD bios (the 512 Ko one) and the good version of selfboot.

I have all of that but still have the same problem. It freezes on the insert cd screen.

I believe multiplayer was available a version or two ago, it was for Metal Slug anyway via keyboard for player 2, not sure about two controllers.

would love to play Samurai Showdown 2 and 4 on the DC

Yesterday I tried Metal Slug 1. Graphics are very nice but there isn't any sound FX and there are a lot of slowdowns.

On the insert cd sreen, you must wait for 10 or 15 seconds before insering your neo geo CD game.

Has anyone got KOF 96 to work with version 6.5?

Great emu........Any word on the next version yet?

I tried metal slug 2 and it's damn too slow ! The music runs well and there isn't any sound fx.
I also tried ironclad. The game is not that slow but there isn't any sound (no music, no sound fx)

Calm down, no one said its 100% yet and all you can say so far is "its too damn slow". MS1 runs over 90%, its almost there.

I'd take your version number down by a factor of 10 = 0.65

makes more sense, 6.5? hell

great work guys

I never said I was angry. I was just expaining to the other forum members how my games runed.
I do know this is not a definitiv version and I also know that there are some problems which will be corrected in the futur.
I'm very happy to see that some guys are making such a fantastic work.
But I don't understand why you talk to me like that. May be you didn't understand the aim of my thread ?
