Neo Geo AES - Script Help Please!

[user42]

I put this on the back burner a long time ago but I would like to come back to it. I need a working script for either Winkawaks or NeoRAGEx. I know that I could run Neo Geo roms out of MAME but I want the games to load in AES (home) mode, not in MVS (arcade) mode.

Here is a early version with Winkawaks and two games for you to play with and see if you can get it working...

If you want to try NeoRAGEx, note that it uses a different rom set than Winkawaks so you would need to add a different game to try it out. Here is one. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AQZS3NH6

Thanks in advance.

Shame, I'd have said use Final Burn Alpha, it does have a command line usage but you would have to set the AVS via the dipswitches setting in the GUI, I don't think it can be done by command line.

The reason I suggest that is that Winkwaks does not support the parralax layers used by games like Neo Turfmasters..

well after a year i finally know how to do it.

Sorry for the slow reply, I don't check this site as often as I used to...

I am excited that you got it working. I tried what you said but I am still having problems. I am sure I am doing some thing wrong...

Where are your roms at? Are they zipped? In gamebase are you linking to the rom file or the cmd file that you create for each game? In fact, could you send me your working copy of this gamebase (to save file size just include one game and leave out the screenshots) ? That would prob help me alot.

Thanks for the help.

This is setup ready to go.

All roms must be in this folder...
NeoGeo\Emulators\winkawaks162\roms\neogeo

and they MUST be winkawaks162 ROM version.
(use Rom Center dat in roms folder)

if you are missing roms, use latest MAME set to create a few.

Alternatively, you can play the AES roms in MESS - it's now quite easy with the software list. And the new HLSL screen filters in MESS help it look closer to how the original AES would appear on a CRT....though personally I prefer to play it without the filters.

Thanks guys. I will work on it this weekend.

[user42]

Huge thanks .mad.! All I needed to do was use your emu folder, add roms and link to the bat files. Works great.

I will upload my Neo Geo AES GB soon. Too bad I am missing most of the manuals...
