I just building my first arcade cab (converting an old one, but anyways), and have downloaded 9.5/11gbs of the complete rom set over the past 2 days, so I am almost set. What I am curious about are neogeo games:
1) What are they? Is neogeo just a company name, or does it designate some special hardware
2) Can MAME emulate the games? I see special versions of MAME just to emulate them (neomame, etc). What's up with that?
3) Do the games come in the standard rom set? I always liked metal slug, so when my d/l finishes, will I be able to play it?
4) Why is there so much controversy surrunding games like metal slug 5 and king of fighters 03/04? Why are people looking for hacked versions? Are these games not included in MAME or do they just not work unless they've been hacked?
5) What NeoGeo games are there other than KOF/MS? Is there a list somewhere?
Thanks for any clarification you can give me.
PLEASE, for God's sake, don't tell me to try to search. I did. I didn't find answers to these questains.
