iNEOGEO progress

iNEOGEO is progressing well. It's working now with either virtual pad or iCade. I'll try to post some videos later this week. I've set up a git repo on github, the sourcecode will be available in a couple of days. If you're interested feel free to contact me for a beta.

iNEOGEO alpha

  I recently bought an iCade and was a bit disappointed by iMAME4ALL Neogeo support. So I decided to port gngeo which is a very good neogeo emulator. Basically it allows all neogeo games to run, including the encrypted ones and the "too large" by using some kind of dynamic rom loading.
  I eventually have something working, here is 2 short videos of it running on my iPad 1. The 2 games are typically not emulated (metal slug 3) or causing issue (blazing star) in iMame4all. Here they are running very well.

I'll set up a git repo as soon as it is ready for a release (currently everything is hardcoded and no control is implemented).

modizer v1.5 almost ready

  v1.5 is nearly ready, testing are in progress. Thanks to Misty De Meo pmdmini was added, allowing PC-9801 files support.
  For developer, a git repo is available on github.
