NeoGeoWe already know that the NEOGEO emulator developer, NJ, is one helluva miracle worker! Just look at all the updates of his app, the NeoGeo Emulator for PSP, and you'll be nodding your head in approval. This guy works in a fast and efficient manner and the end product is well close to perfect. I could go on and on about how immensely talented NJ and all the other developers are, but I'm afraid I won't have enough space for that. I would pay good money just to obtain a portion of their talents.

Which brings us to this junction: Recently, the good developer has just released the official version of the NEOGEO Emulator for PSP, this is already version 0.1.1. Just to quote the author first, "this is the official version. There won't be such frequent updates like before. There won't be any more functional expansion but bug fix and speed improvements." We're good with that. So now, we go over to the changelog which is of course done tirelessly (and effortlessly, I may add) by our resident translator, Jeff Chen.

Changelog

[ver 0.1.1 Changelog]

- Fixed a bug that the BIOS selection screen cannot be opened before you play a game.
- From this version, when you start the emulator, config and nvram files will be totally deleted (this should have been done in v0.1 but I forgot to).


[ver 0.1 Changelog]
This is the official version. There won't be such frequent updates like before. There won't be any more functional expansion but bug fix and speed improvements.


- The emulation of watchdog has been changed. There are some games that has a part of their SRAM protected. When starting these games, some reset operations may occur. This is normal and please don't mind.

- The System Language Setting and Machine Mode can now be modified.

Setting items has been added to the Game configuration menu.
Yet, only "MVS BIOS" is support.
*AES BIOS is not supported yet, because once the settings are changed, it won't accept any input.
*uni-bios is not modified, because the BIOS can set itself.
*I don't quite understand Debug BIOS so it's not supported yet.
- Analog input implemented for irrmaze and popbounc.
-The settings are added as an exclusive item, "Analog sensitivity", in the Key configuration menu. This setting can adjust the sensitivity among 3 levels.
-irrmaze (The Irritating Maze/Urudora Denryu Irairabou)
No special setting is needed, you can go with the standard analog input. D-pad and analog are both usable in the game.
-popbounc (Pop 'n Bounce/Gapporin)
Digital input is set to default. When you want to use the analog input, you need to change the dip switch to start in test mode, then change the controller to PADDLE.
- The accuracy of sound emulation in sound Test has been improved.
Rather than conversion, the sample rate can no longer be specified. The sound will always be played under 44100Hz.
- BIOS setting menu will be forced to open when specified BIOS cannot be found.
- Other bugfixes.


And as always, your constructive criticisms, observations, and suggestions would be greatly appreciated by the developer, since your comments fuel him to improve the app, and in the process, perfect and hone his craft. So don't hesitate to think out loud through your comments.

Just tried this on my Jap ceramic white 1.5 (downdated from factory 2.5). It freezes and shut down upon initial startup game browser screen. Previous RC2 version works fine though.

Workaround: Manually edited the startup path in the ngepsp.ini and changed the default "roms/" to my own actual ROM directory path, and the emulator loads successfully afterward.

great homebrew but I did find a bug in your last release where I used the BIOS for Metal Slug 5. Worked Perfectly but then I put Metal Slug X on and the Bios would no longer work and I had to reinstall the program. Is that fixed in this release?

I agree this is one of the best if not the best emu on PSP. But it would be nice to have a semi sleep mode... ie.. clock psp to 1mhz and kill screen via hold button.

 » Awesome job bro

This is definately the best emulator for the PSP...Only thing that can make it better is sound for SVC and Metal slug 3-5...

Keep up the great work NJ...

=)
