I decided it was high time to investigate which is the best Neo Geo emulator currently available for the Android platform, after testing I found NeoDroid is.

  • Neo Geo – a system of arcade machines, released by SNK (Shin Nihon Kikaku) in October 1990 in Japan. But also the system has the full name of Neo Geo Multi Video System (abbreviated as Neo Geo MVS). Neo Geo means new world.

Important Note: Make sure to use Neogeo zipped rom sets from a recent MAME set like 0.144 and higher. Do not use sets from Neorage or FBA since they are not 100% compatible. Also do not unzip or rename any game files.
Initial Setup:
  • Create a game directory on your device (named Neogeo for example), using a file manager app or your PC
  • Obtain neogeo.zip from a recent version of MAME and place it in the directory. If you're having trouble finding the right one, search Google for 'MAME Bios'
  • Obtain at least one game zip and place it in the directory, making sure it's on the compatibility list below. For example, if you want 'Metal Slug', you'll need the file mslug.zip
  • Launch NEO.emu and select 'Load Game', then navigate to the directory you previously made and select the game zip you want to run
  • Once you've navigated to the game directory, you may also select 'Load Game From List' to show the full titles for easier game selection
Neogeo-specific Options:
  • Emulate Timer: Enable the per-scanline timer used in some games for raster effects. 'Auto' enables it using a built-in list of games that require it (mostly soccer ones). Turn it off if you experience flickering graphics.
  • Make/Use Cache Files: Create and use .gno cache files when loading a game. These files speed up loading and reduce memory usage of games but may not work with all games yet. Loading a game the first time without a .gno file present will take 2x-3x longer, but once created the game will load around 10x faster.

FAQ:

Q: I'm stuck with 4 credits, how do I insert more?

A: When in console (AES) mode, you can't insert more credits just like the real Neogeo system. If you push start+select to access the Universe BIOS menu, most games have infinite life/credit cheats listed. Alternatively, to switch into arcade (MVS) mode: open the app menu, change the setting under Unibios Switches, and reset the game. Now push the select button to insert as many credits as you like.

Compatibility List (All sets were tested from MAME 0.144, larger ones require devices with at least 512MB of memory):
OKRuns, but has issues
Doesn't work yet on all ports

Note: No current ports use the C core so all issues with it are now marked 'OK'

There are a variety of arcade emulators available in RetroPie which can emulate Neo Geo games. There are significant differences in performance, compatibility, and configuration between them. If you're getting started with arcade emulation, start by reading Arcade.

This page is a resource for additional details on configuring a dedicated set of Neo Geo ROMs including configuration paths, controls, and the ROM sets which each emulator requires.

EmulatorRom FolderExtensionRequired ROM VersionController Config
lr-fbneoneogeo.7z .zipFB Neo v0.2.97.44-WIP/opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg
lr-fbalpha2012neogeo.7z .zipFB Alpha v0.2.97.30/opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg

GnGeo-Pineogeo.zipMAME 0.138/opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/gngeorc

Emulators: lr-fbneo, lr-fbalpha2012, PiFBA, GnGeo-Pi

Refer to the main FinalBurn Neo page for general information on all FinalBurn emulators or the direct links above for in-depth infomation on lr-fbneo, lr-fbalpha2012, or PiFBA. In-depth information on GnGeo-Pi can be found below, which is also linked directly above.

lr-fbneo is the prefered Pi 3/Pi 2 Neo Geo emulator due to its accuracy.

lr-fbalpha2012 is useful for any games that may be running slow in the latest version of lr-fbneo for a Pi 3/Pi 2, and if used exclusively instead of lr-fbneo will allow you to do full system updates without worrying about needing to update your ROM Set, but comes at the cost of inaccuracy such as games having audio issues across the entire library and other issues that have been fixed in the latest version of lr-fbalpha.

PiFBA is recommended for those on a Pi 0 or Pi 1.

ROMS

Accepted File Extensions: .7z .zip

Place Neo Geo ROMs in:

BIOS

Neo Geo ROMs require a neogeo.zip BIOS file with the exact same MAME or FB Neo version as the emulator you select. Place the correct neogeo.zip with your ROMs in:

Instructions on how to install the Neo Geo Unibios on lr-neo can be found here: lr-fbalpha Neo Geo Bios. The Unibios can be used as documented on the official page at http://unibios.free.fr/howitworks.html.

Neo Geo Bios Rom (neogeo.zip)

  • On the Unibios boot screen
    • Neo Geo A+B+C (RetroPad B+A+Y) for BIOS Menu
    • Neo Geo B+C+D (RetroPad A+Y+X) for Test Menu
  • At any time
    • Neo Geo Start+A+B+C (RetroPad Start+B+A+Y) for In-Game Menu

The menus allow you to change various settings like region, dip switch settings for gameplay options like difficulty or blood, and coin or free play settings. Unibios settings will persist after quitting FBA, launching another Neo Geo game, or rebooting RetroPie.

Controls

You will configure controls differently depending on which emulator you use:

lr-fbneo and lr-fbalpha2012

lr-fbneo and lr-fbalpha2012 utilise RetroArch configs. Add custom RetroArch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in:

For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration

PiFBA

PiFBA controls are located in:

As there is no menu to configure controllers with PiFBA, like there is with Mame4all, you'll have to edit the aforementioned file manually.

Example fba2x.cfg:

GnGeo-Pi

MAME Version: 0.138 (May 2010)
Romsets emulated: 203
GnGeo-Pi DAT File: pandora_gngeo_084_dat.zip
GnGeo-Pi Filtered DAT File: pandora_gngeo_084_filtered.zipAll clones non-workingmahjongquiz removed
Romsets emulated: 128

As a caveat, if you're using _gngeo-pi__, the ROMs you have must match the file in gngeo_data.zip located at:

You can only play roms that have the same name as these .drv files, e.g. mslug2.zip (rom) and mslug2.drv (data). If the names of these files don't match, GnGeo-Pi will crash. (see the list at the bottom of this page for compatible ROMs)

GnGeo-Pi Controls

Once you've started GnGeo-Pi at least once a file called gngeorc will be created in:
