Title: neoragex and gamelauncher?
Post by: spongebue on December 19, 2004, 02:08:23 pm

As some of you may remember, I am on a rather slow computer that cannot play the Neo Geo games very well unless in neoragex.  Recently I got my frontend problems figured out (gamelauncher is pretty good for me  :)) except for neoragex.  it starts the emulator up, but I would much rather it start the game itself, seeing as I will not have a mouse or trackball on it.  If you guys know of another good neo geo emulator that is compatible with gamelauncher, that would be nice as well.

thanks,
spongebue

From memory NeoRageX was mostly hand-coded in assembly with the intent to be super fast.  Somewhere between it and MAME would be something like Kawaks, but nowhere near as fast.

Without trying to sound horrible about it, if you want smooth NeoGeo emulation through MAME or Kawaks, you'll need to upgrade your hardware.

Theoretically speaking any frontend should be customisable enough to meet your needs.  FEs like MAMEWah allow fairly flexible customisation of commands for an emulator.  That would be the cheaper alternative, but you're going to have to do some reading of the documentation.
