Neo Geo Homebrew Roundup: Coming Soon to Kickstarter! Maybe Released in 5 Years?

[Tigerskunk]

This already looks way better than a lot of the homebrew that's been released for the Neo. I'll be keeping an eye out for this one!

Thanks for the kind words, mate...

Wow what a bizarre game to make. It actually looks like it could be very cool. Definitely see the Baseball 2020 influence which is awesome.

That’s a “second collaboration” nothing to do with FULLSET.

Huh, so he is working on two titles? At least it's good to see a former SNK developer back with the Neo Geo

A final version of Zintrick with audio tracks and sound effects from pierpa86 on AP (which he is calling Gin Trick? I don't know any Japanese to know why the difference.)

Otherwise I haven't run across too much to update on, Bitmap Bureau is still fixing things on Final Vendetta.

Mini update on Final Vendetta Neo Geo:

Testing continues to progress well and moves into the final stages. We caught a small issue which resulted in needing an SROM reflash. Fortunately the SROM erase and program only takes a few seconds (unlike the C ROMS!!) for each CHA PCB, so we will be re-programming those next week.

A major heatwave struck the UK this last week, making it a tough week for everyone. But in between eating a huge volume of ice cream we have collated all the remaining parts needed for the Final Vendetta assembly that we had locally. Ready to take to our head office and warehouse for the dry run final assembly, which is scheduled for this coming Monday. We’ll make sure to get some nice pictures of that process for next time!

Thanks again for all your support!

Bitmap Bureau

Added another pierpa CD port, ADK World, previously someone had ported just 19YY.

Also added a placeholder for a BitMao Bureau He-Man game published by Limited Run Games which is definitely in the category of speculation, but Plaion and LRG are both owned by Embracer Group.

On the original driver from cd you can read this.

Yeah, I've seen that in the sound rom before. It's a common Japanese spelling substitution. I would have also accepted "Jintrick." Anyway, the official spelling is the one on the title screen. They may not have settled on the Z by then.

Super Mario Bros. port is a WIP. Seems ok in the emulator but someone showed video of it not working quite right on actual hardware. Involves a bunch of nonsense to build a rom that I don't understand. I don't already have teh roms.

DaemonClaw and Demons of Asterborg both got recent updates that suggest they're close to done and attention will shift to Copper Storm.

And an updated Crossed Swords 2 port from pierpa but it's in the same thread as before so nothing to update.

Gley Lancer - Overdrive, another upcoming title from Nalua Studios

Might be appropriate to include the AES+ in this thread now.

Gley Lancer - Overdrive, another upcoming title from Nalua Studios

It's actually one of the better shooters on the Mega Drive, so it's cool to see a remake from the ground up for the Neo Geo
