HowlingDog v2.0.0.

A standalone Neo Geo emulator for Android (AES / MVS / Neo Geo CD / Neo Geo CDZ) around the Geolith libretro core.

New features

  • Playtime tracking: total time played per game, shown on the game's detail.
  • Per-game saved control positions: adjust the overlay while a game is loaded and the app remembers those positions for that game only.
  • Memory card manager: a screen showing what is on the virtual memory card, with sizes, and deletion of stale saves.
  • On-screen input display: a strip showing recent inputs as they happen, toggleable in Settings and off by default.
  • Dynamic haptic arcade-stick feedback: a microswitch click when the stick crosses an actuation threshold, and a heavier vibration for the Coin button.
  • Arcade Manager: per-game input heatmaps and a virtual revenue tracker (coins dropped x 25 cents) alongside total playtime.
  • Dither-aware edge-smoothing shader: a new display option (off by default, an alternative to the CRT shader) that smooths sprite outlines while preserving Neo Geo checkerboard dither, with directional interpolation, corner preservation, temporal stability, and color-aware blending, plus a sharp-CRT combined mode.

Install the APK below on an Android device (arm64). BIOS files and games are user-supplied and never bundled — see the README for what to supply.
