If you wanna run metal slug you should just go for gngeo! Best performance and sound. Only metalslug 4 doesnt work on gngeo. Works on pifba but no sound.

Make a prototype with Lego’s and from there make the case to your own liking!

Thnx I’ve got gngeo to work with the controller aswell: it ends up being really small screen but I added
effect scale2x which makes the screen twice as big and almost fullscreen
(wish there was a way to get proper fullscreen because fullscreen true doesnt seem to cut it)

The joystick settings configuration I ran into something

I’ve posted this aswell in a different topic but I think it belongs here aswell:

# cp /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml /home/pi/supplementary/supplementary/ES-config/

I’m not sure what is meant by that… where is the file located that needs to be edited?

I did some research: There seems to be a typo in two files
(im not sure if that is the thing gizmo98 pointed out)
First is located at:
/home/pi/RetroPie/supplementary/ES-config/settings.xml

<changeConfigPath from="retroarch.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg" />
<changeConfigPath from="dgen.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/dgen/dgenrc" />
<changeConfigPath from="gngeo.rc" to="/homepi/.gngeo/gngeorc" />

as you can see there is a / missing between home and pi

The same typo is is found in
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/supplementary/settings.xml

<changeConfigPath from="retroarch.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg" />
<changeConfigPath from="dgen.cfg" to="/home/pi/RetroPie/configs/dgen/dgenrc" />
<changeConfigPath from="gngeo.rc" to="/homepi/.gngeo/gngeorc" />

if both are changed you can fill in the Gngeo configuration
it overrides the file located in /home/pi/.gngeo

Be carefull above configuration overrides the whole file leaving you with just the joysticksettings ;o

but the joystick settings are based on gngeo 0.7 version as the config settings joystick wise differ from the 0.85 version

(btw the es_systems seems to refer to neogeo-bios eventhough I made a folder neogeobios it works and not sure if I should change the emulationstation es_system.cfg

emulation station launches roms with gngeo-pi0.85 (I checked emulationstation systems.cfg)
roms are located in: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo

The neogeorc seems not to be connected to the above event. The weird part is when I try and eddit the rompath which seems different it makes lauching from emulation station not work at all anymore :|

what can I do next? My brain is frying :'(
any suggestions plz I feel like im running out of options (maybe an idea if someome can post their neogeorc file based on latest retroarch img i’d be happy)

[peanut]

Launching a game from emulation station works really smooth… the game loads and seems to work perfectly… only the escape button works and arrowkeys and enter to exit the emulator

I tried editing the /home/pi/.gngeo/gngeorc file
I figured removing the hashtags for the keyboard settings just to see if the keyboard controls work

After editing even a tinybit of the neogeorc file the emulator stops working
what causes it to mess up?

if I press left -32767 appears after 4
if I press right 32767 appears after 4

if I press up -32767 appears after 5
if I press rdown 32767 appears after 5
6axes I sorta understand its basiclly up and down for the dpad and two thumbsticks

but how do I translate it to controls for the gngeo?

I’m confused… is it just me or are the keys messed up or missing?

[peanut]

I’ve been pulling my hair out its driving me mad :P finally got gngeo to work and now I cant get my joypad to work. Ive been running into other people having the problem and not any solutions to it either.

Am I one of the few that has this problem with configurating GNGEO and DGEN?
or do other people here suffer from it aswell

so far keyboard wise only escape works and the configure option F4 I hear people use doesnt work for me. Nothing happens :(

[peanut]

Anyone have an idea? or an easy way to avoid the problem and get the usb controller to work?

Ive tried with the above settings and with the settings that are currently blocked off but the game just lags a lot. I’ve tried the max overclock aswell and still no effect… am i missing something?

[peanut]

The gngeo? That doesnt work at all (In my case) or the fba version that laggs in video and sound? What tweaks are necessary other then overclocking to make retroarch fba version work smoother/better?

[peanut]

are the m1_decrypted.bin files somewhere so you can add them to the rom? if so where? ive tried one van emuparadise but I still get a “m1-rom error” for both ms 4 and 5

[peanut]

I have the exact same problem… is there a solution other then using PiFBA because the metal slug games seem to lagg in video and sound even with the retroarch.cfg sound and videothreaded commands in FBA

[peanut]

Hi im trying to get the gngeo0.85 to work but the rom loads but the screen is distorted and I have no sound.

When I try and exit the game the raspberry pi freezes. Ive tried putting the file in the ‘share’ folder which located here I guess:

/home/pi/.local/share

but there is no neogeo folder. If I put the folder there what should it be named and does it need any underlying folders?

furthermore I’ve tried finding the gngeo_data zip but no luck googling it.. first link in google I renamed an gngeo-0.8.1-cmv….rpm file into a gngeo_data.zip :(

[peanut]

I’ve inserted/replaced above shader but now nothing happens (No shaders anymore)

(also video_smooth = false)

btw any way of getting these shaders to work for mame4all aswell?

[peanut]

Topic title is supposed to be Xin Mo Arcade adapter usb
