I was extremely hesitant to pay for this as I've been unable to get the neogeo.zip and assocaited rom set to work with the latest version of MAME (2.06). I ultimately just wanted to run Neo Geo on my android, where I have my Sega Genesis and SNES emulators, and I so I took a chance with this. I was really surprised to see that it worked immediately, all I had to do was transfer over the roms and most of them work. There are a few exceptions, maybe 30% of the ones I've tried so far don't work and result in some error indicating that some file is missing but most of them do. Growing up with the original Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Boy and SNES I always wanted to play games on Neo Geo but never could and the thing was extremely rare owing to how expensive it was. All I can say is WOW, if I had seen the quality of these titles when I was younger I would have been BLOWN completely away. This app works great, there is some slowdown with my phone, Samsung Galaxy S7, but that's to be par for the course with emulation. Maybe a brand new $800 Galaxy S9 or equivalent can run it but yeah, it's not that bad, and I'm not even sure it's not how the slow down was with the original Neo Geo

I had been looking for a neo geo emulator for at least a month. On each game. Half of my games wouldn't work, and the controls were bonkers. When ai launched the system, it was able to tell me rhe issue right off and now I can play all of them. I love the .EMU series, but this one was especially good for a complex console.

This is in my opinion, Robert's best work. To not only have PERFECT emulation, a plethora of connectivity options, but to be able to utilize the universal bios(once found) out of the box? Simply outstanding. To those having issues, you need MAME roms(0.144 or newer) and the neogeo.zip file.

Reading thru reviews, knowing that there will be issues, I still got it today (6-5-20) & there are indeed quite a few problems. It runs good enough, but there are issues, esp some games just don't work (BTW, I only tried handful of games so far). The following games are stuck on the initial blue screen: KOF 2003, Metal Slug 5, & SNK vs. Capcom doesn't work. And for KOF 2001, the life bar is missing :) Temporary solution? I play all of those games on MAME4droid (0.139u1) instead, which works fine. For the record, I use LG G8X phone, Android 10. Please fix those issues. I know you can do better, as I own majority of your emu apps, PCE.emu being my favorite, thanks. Also guys roms should be compatible with Mame 0.139u1 (just google), & also you have to have Neo Geo Bios (don't unzip) on the same folder as your roms. Happy gaming. Edited

Another great emulator from Robert Broglia. I dig that his whole suite has the same framework for the settings, which allow (but do not need) very in-depth tweaking. One of the best features is 'affinity control', you can choose which processor core will work the app. Works without problem and saves lots of battery time indeed, as NeoGeo emulation doesn't need your full flagship power. Simply choose one of the little cores and save money. All in all, very approachable and really good. Edited
