That doesn't happen with MAME 2003-Plus and yes, it is a very important thing to consider, so I wouldn't dismiss it so easily.Įxcept you are wrong about that, MAME2003-Plus is also updating romsets from time to time, i know first place since the author (arcadez) is a good friend of our team (i'm a FBNeo dev btw), and sometimes he needs a bit of help to hook new mcu dumps. Oh, so this was also about the romsets not ease don't say the same thing twice in 2 different ways, this is confusing, you make it sound like there are multiple reasons. There are pros and cons to both cores and you can just pick the reasons you care the most about. Now that all cards are on the table, everyone can make an informed decision by themselves. But there can be good reasons to use another emulator. I use FBNeo for those, just not for NeoGeo due to the reasons above. That doesn't happen with MAME 2003-Plus and yes, it is a very important thing to consider, so I wouldn't dismiss it so easily. Yes, it is too much of a hassle, specially for people who don't know how arcade emulation works, which is most people.Īlso, you only find out that your game broke the exact moment you want to play it, which is the worst possible moment, even if once in a decade. Is downloading the newer version of a few romsets every 10 years such a big deal ?
If you find one, there's as issue tracker, it can be fixed, just like with any other maintained software. There are no obvious bugs on NeoGeo games. It's actively maintained for compatibility fixes. Just look at the neogeo changelog between mame 0.78 and now It won't break your games that are already working. I mean backwards incompatible changes are not accepted. You said "it's stable", meaning it's not crashing i guess ? dozens of fixes, literally, just look at the neogeo changelog between mame 0.78 and now, there are more than an hundred lines and most of them are fixesĪnd with FBNeo, you can even use retroachievements. Now some real reasons to use a more recent emulator :
Neogeo games aren't something that has been constantly redumped over the years, and there is always a very good reason for redumoing something, most of the time that means the older dump was corrupt and prevented the game to actually work as it should. you said "the romset is stable", which means "the romsets aren't changing" i guess, the lazyness argument, fine, but actually most neogeo dumps from mame2003-plus are still usable with more recent emulators. you said "it's stable", meaning it's not crashing i guess ? well, it's not as if neogeo emulation was something very unstable in other emulators either, so how is that even an argument ?
