Sometimes a surprise just falls out of the sky and into your lap...and recently we've been talking about the work in progress Neo Geo CD core for MiSTer FPGA. And NOW the Neo Geo CD core functionality has been folded into the Neo Geo AES / Neo Geo MVS core on MiSTer FPGA to give you ever piece of Neo Geo arcade and home console hardware...all in one FPGA core! With Neo Geo CDZ support, Neo Geo Unibios support...and fast loading CD Support!
Be aware there is a NEO GEO CD folder to put your games into now. It's not necessary...you CAN navigate to your Neo Geo CD nested folder in the Neo Geo AES/MVS games folder...but you dont have to!
Update_all will bring down the new core along with the correct bios files if you have BIOS GETTER enabled too!

I asked, you answered...and I try to listen :) Of all the requests for new content on the channel one of the most frequently asked for videos is a series on the Terasic DE-10 Nano MiSTer FPGA hardware...so here it is! Retro gaming goodness.
On this episode of our MiSTer series we are going to be talking about the recent build of the Neo Geo core! It's working on MiSTer Main builds now and comes down with update_all...and so far its highly impressive and maybe the best new way to play Neo Geo games! But Neo Geo CD has so many retrogaming hits and some solid exclusives like Puzzle Bobble, Ironclad and Crossed Swords II...along with plenty of Neo Geo AES and MVS hits like Fatal Fury, the King of Fighters, Pulstar, etc etc.
Add to that the entire library of Neo Geo AES best games and Neo Geo hidden gems and you have one of the most impressive cores on MiSTer FPGA! Neo Geo basically feels done!
Can't wait to see if this core get further developments!

I loved anything SNK touches when it came to games even gameplay aside I always enjoyed the quality and detail they put into pixel drawing and animation.
Definitely going to enable bouncing on Mai… for physics accuracy!
Haha perfect accuracy
That would be the true test for cycle accuracy
Counting bounce frames
I didn't know all that about the unibios, thanks for sharing.
Happy to share :)
I'd been waiting for this to be added to update all. Time to update!
Def time to update!
Lol this core can't wait to try out the new 8bitdo controller this week
Right? Timing couldn’t be better
I got my controller yesterday. Feels great.
Nice. Mine are scheduled to arrive Wednesday
Mine is wensday too
Amazon probably eh?
Back in the 90s, we had a local video rental store called Movie Man that rented out consoles none of us kids could afford, including the AES. It was my only hands-on experience with Neo Geo back then besides the MVS at the arcade. I knew I had to have one, maybe, hopefully, one day, but they were unobtainium back then. It wasn't until some decades later I imported a AES from Japan, bought a green MVS to AES adapter, a yellow 161 in 1 cart and when all stacked together still looks ridiculous, but I felt my dream was complete. These days the Mister is just so much more accessible, nearly portable and cycle accurate, it's hard not to go down this fantastic route, especially to those new to the retro game hobby. I salute all those that have contributed to these cores.
I don’t remember our local video joints ever renting anything Neo Geo. They had every other console though
Neo Geo has so many bangers. Love me some Neo Turf Masters and Pulstar!
Neo Turf Masters is still IMO the best golf game ever made
@@VideoGameEsoterica No lies detected!
Exactly 😂
On the greeeeen!!!!
We still need the Neo Geo Pocket/Color and Hyper Neo Geo 64...and THEN we will be done with Neo Geo. Love your videos!
Haha something tells me Hyper just won’t happen
@@VideoGameEsoterica I hope it does!
Hey, we thought the N64 wouldn't be possible...Lol
Haha that’s true
nice, been waiting for this one a while
It’s fun to have it all in one now
Wow I may have to watch this a few times to get the grasp on it. That unibios sounds awesome! Has NEO GEO core made any progress since this video?
I don’t believe it’s been updated no
@@VideoGameEsoterica oh okay, seems like its in a really good state already
@retrorobbgaming very good state for sure
First of all, great video and many thanks for sharing.
This brings up old memories when I had the Japanese front-loader Neo Geo CD
Wanted always to go back, but feared the loading times, but now finally is the right time to get a Mister.
Could you point me to the right direction? it seems to be difficult to get one here.
All the best and greetings from Germany.
I’d order direct from Terasic for the DE10. I’ll ask around who’s the best for the rest of the parts in Europe
I miss my Neo CD :( thankfully now I can play it on Mister
It’s such a fun console. I love mine
I'm a simple man. I see Mai and Vice in the thumbnail, I click.
Smart. Very smart
It's good that Neo Geo is so easily available to play these days, something you could only dream of in the 90s unless you were rich as hell
Yes. No longer just the domain of rich kids (well unless you want to collect AES still lol)
@@VideoGameEsoterica
The head games I had to play to be satisfied with my Megadrive after seeing the Neo Geo screenshots.
Head games?
I knew a Japanese kid back in high school who had a Neo Geo and he had it connected to a Commodore 1084 monitor and even with composite video (he didn't know about RGB) and I thought it was the most awesome thing ever. Back then I would only see a Neo Geo at an arcade or bowling alley.
@@VideoGameEsoterica
Rationalising that it was better to have a Megadrive than a Neo Geo.
more great great content .. thank you so much :)
Happy to do it!
All I need are the arcade versions of Neogeo games (no animation cuts) WITH the arranged soundtracks. That is the stuff of my dreams. I know there are some ps2 collections that fulfill this dream, but with some trade-offs like emulation bugs, wrong resolution (so no scanlines on crt), load times, etc. Can Mister do this? I hate that modern ports of SNK never have the Arranged music.
Haha if only we could combine them somehow
@@VideoGameEsoterica One day it will be possible for sure, look for snes cd soundtrack project.
Yes I bet it happens
Serious questions: If I wanted to play Sam Show 3, why would i do this on FPGA Neo Geo CD instead of FPGA Neo Geo MSV/AES?
Just add the CD files to MiSTer and select the load cd vs cart option in the menu
Bouncy Mai 🤩
Everyone’s favorite lol
should we enable the mild cropping option for the cd games? iirc it has a slightly lower rez than the original carts
Dealers choice on cropping. I don’t personally
I'd like to know the meaning of "Max 330 Mega"
That was the maximum rom size the system could address at the start. A 330Mbit cart. After bank switching was added to the carts this maximum became “not a thing”
I hope this stays up. The truth is related to Freemasonry. 33 is their occult number. There are 33 vertebrae in a human spine.
Companies are run by Freemasons and they're required to do rituals as a show of faith. 330 is just a 33-code. ''Neo Geo'' means New Earth (or New World) and relates to the New World Order. Capcom released 33 games for CPS1. Do you see? The 330 MEGA LIMIT was never actually real. The public aren't supposed to know about these rituals.
330/8=41,25MB in size I think.
Hello, for some reason my MiSTer does not see Darksoft NeoGeo files, in a ZIP archive or in a packed form, it is defined as, for example, "mlslug.zip" an empty folder. Is this a kernel update or should it be like this? Files with the .neo extension open without problems.
You need the xml file. Do you have that?
@@VideoGameEsoterica previously I just ran a file like "mlslug.zip" everything worked. and now I open the file and it is empty.
@@VideoGameEsoterica I just didn't follow the updates of the NeoGeo core, so I don't know which .xml files are needed, before everything worked without them.
@@VideoGameEsoterica I understand that I need a romset.xml file?
your aes could use a dust cover
Probably
How do you turn blood on in Metal Slug?
Unibios
@@VideoGameEsoterica hank you! I had a joystick issue and figured it out
Does the Neo Geo core support 2P? On MAME, I can get the option to play a 2P game after adding two coins, but it never seems to be an option on Mister. Do you know why that is?
Should work fine. You can also just set the Unibios to Console not MVS
@@VideoGameEsoterica Is this a chute setting in the hardware dip settings? As in, it will only allow a 2P game if it detects a coin drop from a specific player chute?
I just put the MVS game into FREE PLAY and was able to start a 2P game.
No. Unibios settings
Yeah, I know where in the UniBIOS to set the Region and Mode, but if you want to run the core in MVS and not AES, then you’ve got my problem.
Just to add, I am running the Neo Geo core on the Mistercade in a generic multi-Cade that I put together. The multi-Cade only has one button wired to 1P coin. That means that when I go to configure the controls within the Neo Geo core, it has no 2P coin button to mirror to. Unlike MAME, you can’t just set the 2P coin to whatever button you want. The 2P controls are mirrored from whatever you define as 1P.
I tried going into the Neo Geo Hard dip settings, but it appears that they can only be configured within the Core setting menu dip switches. I thought that if I could somehow change the ‘coin type’ setting from ‘2 chutes’ to ‘1 chute’ that multiple coin drops in the 1P coin chute would be enough to also start a 2P game, but I’m not seeing how that’s possible.
So I just got a tip from a user on the MisterFGPA support forum for Neo Geo, ‘Apparently you need a Euro or Japanese BIOS to allow 2p to get credited from the 1p coin slot.’
Isn't that error screen just a unibios thing?
It is but it reports errors in NG hardware
So can I find and set that "unibios" enable by pressing "up" while in "update_all" browser? 🇧🇷
Yes. Bios getter
@@VideoGameEsoterica Thank you, friend.
👍
I think the most economic way to play NeoGeo accurately is still the MVS. Dual Slot boards with stereo sound are around 160$ and many games still below the 200$ mark. Connected with a CRT they give the best experience. U can also get the crappy made 160in1 card, if you insist ;-). While the Neo Geo core is very good, it is not 100% accurate / has some light glitches from which (I read around a year ago or so) can only be completely addressed by a future rewrite of that core (which will hopefully happen).
Yes MVS is still the most economical. Not saying it’s cheap…but cheaper
uni bios cheat unlock kyo and iori
Or you can use your stock Dreamcast (12x speed drive) with the NEO4ALL boot disc and play any NeoGeo CD game burned onto a CD-R !
Haha also true
Im not familiar with the mister is there a way to hook up original neo geo control sticks to this?
There is. I have a tutorial on my playlists :)
