I haven't been able to get this running on FBNeo, or MAME (obviously) and I even burned a NeoCD version to try with an emulator and it didn't work either. Probably did something wrong, but I def wanna check this out.

Use CD dump with neoCD emulator inside retroarch.

Yeah, but not the arcade original IMO, the Genny version is far superior in almost any aspect, gameplay but also visuals and sound.

I'd love to play Alien Syndrome on Neo, also a System 16 game, iirc.
the statue of liberty graphic in the arcade version and the genesis illustrates the transition the industry had between programmer art and professional art, lmbo.

Let's see them try and make real cart conversions for every @iq_132 68K port. At what point are they going to buy a flash cart like Evie's, or are they too far invested at this point?

Version 1.1 is now my final, I've got another "axe" to grind. Laters
First of all, incredible work @h0ffman on the Shinobi port.

Gotta say though I’m even more hyped for your next one. Definitely one of my all time favorites.

Keep up the great work!

Spin Masters, P.O.W., Eightman, Atomic Runner and now Shinobi. Neo CD gamers have been eating good over the last few months.

I posted my test boards above. When I make the final plates, I will post them again. The cheapest title to disassemble is Kof97, but I also use Sidekicks 2.
Excuse me if I read this incorrectly, but are you saying you're sacrificing a real Neo-Geo cartridge to play a port of a game you can play anywhere else?

If so, fuck you.

My whole life I will never understand the point of sac'ing carts. Retarded.

With the blinding amount of homebrew and fan ports these days, flash carts are the obvious solution.

Version 1.1 out now.

Should fix most of the issues you've been facing. I'm done with this one now and moving on.

Even included a Mame romset this time ;)

Just an FYI, I booted the game on my Unibios 4.0 AES through the Neo SD and unfortunately I'm still getting graphic issues on various stages. Even turning off in-game hooks and assigning it a slot doesn't help. Especially with stages 2-1 & 2-2. Most other stages will glitch occasionally, but those 2 in particular always glitch for me on real AES hardware.

Anyone else having these issues on v1.1? Any way (setting?) to resolve it?

Yeah I just can't seem to find this one as I cannot recreate the issue. Seems to be AES and or flash cart related. The game will be working find then all of a sudden the scroll routine just gives up.

It seems to be working fine on my 5v AES with Unibios 3.3 with the NeoSD Pro.

There's a definite possibility that it could be the Neo SD Pro. If you ever go back to it and need someone to test, I'm happy to do so.

That's good. IIRC, you have an earlier version of the NeoSD before the current batch with issues. I'll keep playing around and see if I can find a settings combo that works for my console.

Looking like it's aes or maybe even bios related. Someone made a cart and it still fails on some aes systems.

Interesting. Maybe it's something that will reveal itself with future projects.

Haha, pretty easy to check. Just look at the PSU you're plugging into it. I hope it's the right one. :keke:
Internally, I remember my console having the LM2576 and coil listed on FirebrandX's page. The power supply is a Neo-POW3 that honestly has not given me any problems so far.

But there is no Statue of Liberty in the arcade Shadow Dancer. Burning Fight!!, you have a lot of explaining to do.
