@used2berx said in Neo Geo BIOS (in the BIOS folder???) I'm running a Pi Zero, so I'm using pifba to run all of the NeoGeo games and it doesn't work. That's your choice, i was playing neogeo at full speed on my rpi1 with libretro-fbalpha so the rpi0 should be able to handle it too. RetroArch is a frontend for emulators, game engines and media players. It enables you to run classic games on a wide range of computers and consoles through its slick graphical interface. Settings are also unified so configuration is done once and for all. In addition to this, you are able to run original game discs (CDs) from RetroArch. The Neo Geo is a cartridge-based arcade system board and home video game console released by SNK in 1990. See also: FinalBurn Alpha, MAME 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.

Having recently purchased a low cost Chinese Android Jelly Bean based handheld console for emulation, the JXD s7300. 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 excellent running at a very playable near full speed on the JXD s7300.
A couple of tips I discovered is to select and enable ‘Use ASM Cores’ then the majority of games I tested played at full speed, also turning on ‘autoframeskip’ and setting the sample rate to ‘44100’ also improved the overall emulation experience. If you load a ROM and it has broken sound just end emulation by pressing the L2 button then selecting the on screen cross in the right hand corner of the screen and restart the specific ROM again.
NeoDroid allows for simple mapping of the JXD s7300 hardware buttons and joysticks for a better overall emulation experience. Just launch NeoDroid and click on the settings icon, select the ‘Use hardware buttons’ option, then select ‘Set hardware buttons’ then just map your buttons either as below or to your own settings.
