Neo Geo Games

Every Neo Geo game known to MAME and FinalBurn Neo is recognised, clones, bootlegs and hacks included. A version takes the file of its original game. Ninety-seven games have a scene of their own, and all the others get a scene by genre with nothing to set up.

The games done with the most care

• Windjammers. The game's court as a live map, the disc and the two players where the game puts them, read at every frame, the lobs, a super charging in a ring of flames then SUPER ! with the shot's name, the goals, the sets and the match. Your own pictures of the players can stand on the court (see Your Own Pictures).
• Puzzle Bobble and Puzzle Bobble 2. Both scores, the bubble in the launcher and the next one in their colours, the arrow turning as the game's, each bubble shot leaving in its direction, the round, the VS matches and the rounds won.
• Twinkle Star Sprites. The hearts with the half ones, the bombs, the Pow gauge, the character, the chains and PERFECT of each player, the stage, K.O. and WIN. Each witch flies where the game puts her and the rounds won are counted (1.33.1).

Ninety-seven games done one by one

Game after game, the Neo Geo games got a panel scene and an animated HD scene of their own, the best-known first, and now they all have one. PROGRESS.md shows where things stand and what comes next. Everything is drawn by the program, no image comes from the games.

In the shoot'em ups (Blazing Star, Pulstar, Last Resort, Aero Fighters 2 and 3, Strikers 1945 Plus, Ghost Pilots, Alpha Mission II, Viewpoint, Zed Blade, Prehistoric Isle 2, Andro Dunos, Captain Tomaday, Choutetsu Brikin'ger, Last Hope), once the score is read, the enemies of the HD screen only blow up when the game scores points. The enemy our shots are hitting goes first, its points show above it, and the bigger the gain the bigger the blast. A bomb or a special weapon of the game destroys what it hits, and a bonus that the game counts at the end of a stage shows as one counter. As long as the score of a game has not been learned with learn.bat, its HD scene plays by itself. A power-up shows POWER UP over the ship with the level reached under it, a case per level, and POWER MAX at the top, in every shoot'em up whose power is read.

The panel of these games keeps it simple during a game. The score in big digits in the middle, or the title of the game as long as the score has not been learned. Your lives at the bottom left (a plane and x2), your bombs at the bottom right. No credits and no INSERT COIN during a game. Between them flies your ship. It follows your stick and fires while you hold the fire button (the Neo Geo BIOS keeps them, with MAME as with RetroArch), and flies by itself until you touch them. With two players, both scores at the top, the lives and bombs of each player below, and both ships face to face. Everything else takes the panel for a moment, one thing at a time, as on a pinball. BOMB! and its explosions, POWER UP then MAX POWER, the plane that blows up with the lives left, LAST LIFE, 1UP, ROUND 2 or STAGE 2, SPEED UP, the SUPER SHOT of Strikers 1945 Plus, CONTINUE?, GAME OVER, PLAYER 1 and PLAYER 2 when someone starts, and CREDIT 1 when a coin goes in during a game. Each enemy destroyed in the game blows up ahead of your ship, the size and pace of the DOFLinx explosions, a big one for a big enemy, and nothing blows up during a bonus count. As long as the score has not been learned, an enemy blows up ahead of it now and then while it fires, as on the HD screen. The coin screen, when nobody plays, does not change.

Your own animations (the GIFs of DOFLinx or of the Pixelcade, for example) can replace ours on the panel. Put them in an artwork folder next to arcadedmd.py, it is never published and an update never touches it. artwork\boom.gif is the explosion of an enemy, boom_big.gif the big one, bomb.gif and shock.gif the bomb, super.gif the super shot of Strikers 1945 Plus, charge.gif the charged shot of Pulstar and ship.gif your ship (facing right, about 14 x 5). For one game only, put them in artwork\<game>\ (artwork\s1945p\boom.gif, for example). A 128 x 32 GIF plays over the whole panel and its black lets the scene show through, but when its drawing fits in the middle (the explosions of DOFLinx) it is cropped and plays at the place of the action.

Goals burst on the goal line with +3 or +5 and push the whole image into the wall, a drop on the other side gives +2, a set won slams WIN on the winner's side, the match VICTOIRE or DÉFAITE. The scoreboard has the players' names, nations, scores and sets.

• The values come from the FinalBurn Neo and MAME 2003-Plus cheats, checked against the cheat collection of MAME (mamecheat.co.uk), which adds the timer of Football Frenzy and The Irritating Maze and the lives and bombs of player 2 in Zed Blade. They still have to be confirmed in game (test_retroarch.bat shows them). The score of Top Hunter, Super Dodge Ball, Neo Bomberman, League Bowling, NAM-1975, Alpha Mission II, Zed Blade, Robo Army, Sengoku, Sengoku 2, Ninja Combat, Ninja Commando, Puzzle Bobble 2, Puzzle De Pon!, Puzzle De Pon! R!, Panic Bomber, Pop 'n Bounce, Super Bubble Pop, Ganryu, Neo Mr. Do!, Battle Flip Shot, Gururin, Ghostlop, Pochi and Nyaa, Puzzled, Zintrick, Digger Man, Andro Dunos, Captain Tomaday, Choutetsu Brikin'ger, Last Hope, Bang Bang Busters, Crossed Swords, Nightmare in the Dark, The Super Spy, Quiz King of Fighters, Quiz Daisousa Sen, Quiz Meitantei Neo & Geo and Chibi Maruko-chan Deluxe Quiz is in no database, learn it with learn.bat (see Learning the score). Until then, the title scrolls in its place on the panel. RetroAchievements (its public scripts on GitHub and the data tools/ra_notes.py downloads) gives the score of Blazing Star, Puzzle Bobble, Shock Troopers, Pulstar, Magical Drop III, Sengoku 3, Last Resort, Aero Fighters 2, Aero Fighters 3, Magician Lord, Cyber-Lip, Ghost Pilots, Viewpoint, Prehistoric Isle 2, Shock Troopers 2nd Squad, Burning Fight, Mutation Nation, Blue's Journey, Magical Drop II, Money Puzzle Exchanger, Spin Master, Zupapa!, Bang Bead and Eight Man, to be checked in game. The score of both players in Strikers 1945 Plus was learned on a cabinet, a binary number where RetroAchievements' code notes put it.
• When the stick and the buttons can be read (the Neo Geo BIOS keeps them, with MAME as with RetroArch), the ships of Blazing Star, Pulstar, Last Resort, Viewpoint, Zed Blade and Prehistoric Isle 2, the planes of the Aero Fighters, Strikers 1945 Plus, Ghost Pilots and Alpha Mission II, the commando of Shock Troopers 2nd Squad and the ninja of Ninja Commando (up and down), the hunters of Top Hunter, the witches of Twinkle Star Sprites (placed from the game itself, the stick only when a file gives no place), the arrows of Puzzle Bobble, Puzzle Bobble 2 and the two Puzzle De Pon!, the jesters of Magical Drop II and III and the piggy banks of Money Puzzle Exchanger follow them. Button A fires in Blazing Star, Pulstar, Last Resort, the Aero Fighters, the two Shock Troopers and Ninja Commando, and strikes in Sengoku 3 and Top Hunter. In Top Hunter, up and down jump from one lane to the other and B jumps. In Last Resort, button B launches the unit. In Magical Drop II and III and Money Puzzle Exchanger, button A grabs the drops or the coins and B throws them back. As long as the player has not touched them, the scene plays by itself. On the panel of the fifteen shoot'em ups, the ship follows the stick and fires with button A too.
• With nobody playing, the coin screen, as for the fighting games (see RetroArch, Coin screen).
• demo_neogeo.bat shows them without playing. Pick the game in the list, or give it directly, demo_neogeo.bat wjammers for example.

A scene by genre for all the others

Genre	File	What is shown
Fighting	neogeo_combat.json	the score, the health bars and the timer, P1 and CPU or P2, the fighter's name in 34 games, the coin screen when nobody plays. See Fighting Games
Shoot'em up	neogeo_shoot.json	a small ship flying through a star field, firing when the score goes up
Sports and racing	neogeo_sport.json	a field with a bouncing ball
Puzzle, quiz, mahjong	neogeo_reflexion.json	a row of coloured blocks that keep changing
Action, platformers, beat'em ups and the rest	neogeo.json	blue hills, and both players' health bars when they are known

A game that has its own file always takes priority over the shared scene. Learning a game's score with learn.bat creates its file, keeps the genre scene and adds the score. The shared files are never changed.

Credits

The credits of a Neo Geo MVS live in the cabinet's backup memory. MAME reads it. With RetroArch, ArcadeDMD guesses them from the Neo Geo BIOS, and coin_buttons.bat makes it see every coin (see RetroArch).
