I think there's some foreground sprites missing as well. There foreground sprites and background animations missing in Ninja Masters.

I honestly don't know if graphically LB is accurate, the loading makes the whole thing intolerable for me.

MS1 isn't "identical" either
I think a lot of games had cuts

Hello juste to said

my site propose some MVS conversion to CD (some have bugs),

all NeoGeo games up to 1996 were arcade-perfect when they were put on the neogeo CD.

I've tried to list the differences and cut elements between the NeoGeo to NeoGeo CD versions here
I remember seeing your site in the past,
many of those games were successfully converted by iq_132. You can find them here:


Here are some homebrew programs, for some reason,
the KARNOV game from the link above didn't work for me, so I'm including it here:

(HOMEBREW) ABYSSAL INFANTS (Kakoeimon)
(HOMEBREW) BLOCK PANIC DX (Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) CODENAME BLUT ENGEL (Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) COLUMNS (no sound) (Jeff Kurtz)
(HOMEBREW) FLAPPY CHICKEN (Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) FROG FEAST (Rastersoft)
(HOMEBREW) INDIANA JONES - LOST TEMPLE OF RA (Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) LOOPTRIS PLUS (Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) NEO FIGHT (no sound) (Kannagi)
(HOMEBREW) NEO NO PANEPON (no sound) (Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) NEO PANG (CeL)
(HOMEBREW) NEO PUZZLE LEAGUE (no sound)(Blastar)
(HOMEBREW) NEO TETRIS (unknown)
(HOMEBREW) NEO THUNDER (Sebastian Mihai)
(HOMEBREW) NGD--ARK (no sound) (NGDEVGroup)
(HOMEBREW) POKER NIGHT (no sound) (Jeff Kurtz)
(HOMEBREW) SANTA BALL (2P only)(NeoHomeBrew.com)
(HOMEBREW) WORLD RACER (Blastar)

(PORT) FOOD FIGHT (iq_132)
(PORT) GALAXIAN (TCDEV)
(PORT) KARNOV (iq_132)

Thanks for sharing. I'm curious as to how you're playing these? Most of the original downloads came with CUE sheets. Without them, they won't work on the Neo CD Loader or Retroarch.

I use the Raine emulator.
Thanks. I was hoping it was something other than Raine.

Converting, burning, or adding cue files to play on real hardware seems hit or miss for me. For some reason, music won't work on Abyssal Infants, Frog Feast and NeoPang. Temple of Ra doesn't seem to have music, so I don't think I'm missing anything for that one.

When burning Ghostlop for my CDZ using the MAME 0.260 set I get an infinite loop of a brief flash of the "don't sell this conversion" message, then back to initial boot loading. For those with a successful burn, what romset were you using?

It doesn't work. Period. ROM set won't make a difference.

Shit I must have missed that in the thread. Neo SD only then?

I guess, for now. Hopefully there's a fix in the works so I can burn it to CD successfully.

h0ffman's NGCD port of Shinobi has always used the YM2610's ADPCM to play the Stage and Mission Clear jingles, with the rest of the tracks being CDDA. I've created a patch to enable those tracks as CDDA if anyone is interested in using them. They are tracks 10 and 11, respectively. h0ffman's original track 10 doesn't play in-game anyway, so that can be removed or shifted up to track 12. Whatever you prefer.

Patch (xdelta format) (incl. ASM): https://mega.nz/file/JnZXWYYL#R7R9eTg7b8AJ5ZoWa3gWp8ou2gNn9jizPfg_I1e5330

I also made an arranged soundtrack for it nearly a year ago that can be sampled here (minus the jingles):
