Interesting Neo Geo ports

Unread post by pacoarcade »

Cabal and Terra Cresta are being ported to Neo Geo. Haven't tried this in the MiSTer yet:

Really cool. Terra Cresta clearly was the main inspiration for my favorite Amiga game Hybris. Would be great to have a MiSTer arcade core for it as well.

Try this command line:

Code: Select all

NeoBuilder.exe -n Cabal -m "TAD Corporation" -y 1988 -g Shooter -s 0 .\cabalng.zip
The corporation and years I just based it on the title screen info. You will get an error about missing screenshot but that's ok and of course it's assuming cabalng.zip is in the same directory as NeoBuilder.

Can someone pls tell me where to get "neobuilderui"? Although I have an account at terraonion I don't own a neo-sd, so they won't let me download any tools for it...
I would like to try cabal on my mister and maybe convert my neogeo roms to .neo format (that seems to have some advantages..?).

thx

I'm getting "invalid romfile structure".
My cabal rom looks like this:
crom0
fpga
m1rom
prom
srom
vroma0

Isn't this an already for fpga converted romset??

That's the darksoft compatible romset...it needs to be converted to Neo format.
There is a NEO formatted file on the other forums (https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads ... 893/page-2), 2nd entry from bottom. But that can go away at anytime.

There is a way to convert it yourself with the Darksoft to NeoSD converter but it requires some modification to the python script.
If interested, I can post instruction on how to do it and modify the Python script to build it yourself.

If you want use the Darksoft rom that you have, add an entry to romsets.xml:

Code: Select all

<romset name="cabalng" pcm="1" altname="Cabal" publisher="TAD" year="1988"/>
It worked for me.

It would be really cool if early SNK Games were ported to MVS like:
Street Smart
POW
Gang Wars.
