People on older Linux machines might want to check this out: http://m.peponas.free.fr/gngeo/

 

It's a plenty fast neogeo emulator that works on lower-end machines. Performance is comparable to NRX which is very good. I've tested this on a P166 MMX with 96mb ram (I compiled this package to use the optimised asm routines rather than the generic C ones) and managed to achieve framerates of abt 20-25 fps in 16-bit colour and full sound emulation, which is quite impressive.

 

The down sides of this thing are that:

- it doesn't have many of the features in modern emus like network play,

- is command-line activated (like MAME)

- and the default ROM driver database doesn't include a lot of the newer games, which means you have to write them yourself.

 

Overall, the impressive performance outweigh the cons and I'd highly recommend it to any Linux user.

cool uguenn. Maybe if i knew about this 3 or 4 years ago today i would be free from the grip of the Evil Empire (Micro$oft). :P As it is, i'll stick with kawaks but this shows that good people out there believe in Linux's future.

 

edit: makes more sense
