Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Thank you Pcekper. I will uninstall my gngeo curently installed and install from your link. Will look on the conf\gngeorc file and try changing things to try to solve the screen size problem, it is strange, on your video it is everything fine, I am PR 1.2, are you 1.3? Also, could you get us your gngeorc file? I find it difficult to remap keys for the N900's keyboard.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Any news of when it will be in repositories?

thanks

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

I am using PR1.3 with no problems.

Use the settings in my .gngeorc file, it is included in the package. specially the scale 2 option, that at least scales in windowed mode to what you see in my video.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

I will try to update to 1.3 tomorrow, I need also for the psx4mgui to be working. Hopefully I get gngeo like yours, will post on youtube later. Thank you for the infos, what about playing with ps3 controller? What are the symbols for ps3 keys?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

I have finally updated to PR 1.3. But I am trying to install the gngeo (the binary you uploaded) using "tar -xvzf gngeo-0.7-n900-binary.tar.gz -C /home/user" and it says "no such file or directory" . I already copied the file to MyDocs folder. Is there another way to run the binary? Actually I was using USA Version, today I flashed the Global one, but that's for another thread.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

@gleydsonpr
try this:
cd /home/user
tar xvzf MyDocs/gngeo-0.7-n900-binary.tar.gz
@pcekper
ever tried:
dropbox.com
filebeam.com
for hosting your files

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Thank you Sake, but I typed it on xterm and got a lot of lines ( names os game romcr files and etc), but didn't seem to install anything, do I need to create gngeo folder before or do something else before? Do you have gngeo installed aswell? Before when I was pr1.2 it worked, but I don't remember how was the procedure. I need to install also the xgngeo (gui) , will check on app manager if gngeo is installed, I think not, but will make sure.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

deinstall gngeo from the app manager.

The tar command uncompresses a folder under /home/user/gngeo, it does not install anything in a normal way, you won't see gngeo installed in the app manager. The folder /home/user/gngeo holds the emulator binary files, that i have compiled that way because it was fast, I have not packaged the app.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Hi Sake, thanks for the tip, I will have a look. I am not a fan of hosting files in file sharing sites, normally I would like to upload it to a proper place, a repo or the forum itself, but this was an exceptional case.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Thank you, I didn't know that, tought that the .deb was included aswell. I will try to create gngeo folder before tar comand and then get xgngeo. I don't have gngeo neither xgngeo, I've just flashed pr1.3 last week and my backup didn't have gngeo.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Ok I finally installed again after sending the gz file to a macbook, extracting, then transfered back to gngeo folder under MyDocs on N900, still the same screen, can't map the keys, where should be the folder conf\gngeorc? Can I change the key values and other parameters on Notes app of N900?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Within the tar archive, there is a folder called .gngeo (dor at the beginning), inside that folder there is a file called gngeorc. That folder should go to /home/user , not MyDocs, because gngeo emu expects to read it from there.

The directory extructure should be:

/home/user/.gngeo/gngeorc

that is why in my original intructions I made the package to extract at /home/user, not hold the emu at /home/user/MyDocs, just at /home/user/gngeo

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Thank you again buddy, when I typed on xterm I got lots of texts, I think it went ok, I don't see .gngeo folder because the '.' makes it hidden, right? So, how to edit gngeorc file if I can't see, will try using a windows xp pc and set to show hidden folders and files, btw inside the folder there are bin and share folders, right? I didn't see gngeorc, I copied conf\gngeorc to gngeo folder I created, I think I am doing wrong, but your reply claryfied a bit more
for me, will try on the pc after this. Can I install Filebox or Midnight Comander and try to do it on N900? Using Notes or do I need to install Leafpad? I think I'm getting close. Another thing: I can't start from xterm, using gngeo\bin\ gngeo kof98 for example, but hopefully I have XGngeo installed. And what is the difference between MyDocs and Home\User? I tought it was the same thing. Is it the root folder (home\user) when I plug the N900 on PC? Thank you for your help pcekper.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Now I finally saw the gngeorc file inside the tar binary, when I extracted on a Mac the .gngeo file with gngeorc inside wasn't appearing, but yesterday I did the same on a Windows XP and the gngeorc file was there, I copied it to my N900, the problem is that I don't know how to move it to Home\User and there're p1key and #p1key sections, wich one do I have to modify? X-Term instructions or using Filebox, Midnight Comander?, the easiest way, please.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Ok, I finally was able to remap keys (by installing Filebox and accessing the gngeo folder), but the screen size stays the same no matter how I change; scale 2 (don't use anything on ur gpx2) and scale 2x (on effects part), also on screen 320 true/false. I uninstalled xgngeo and am trying to uninstall gngeo on app manager to start again, but it says unable to uninstall 'gngeo' , then App Man close with a error 'Internal Error App Manager closed'. I tried on X-term 'root' , then 'apt-get remove gngeo' then 'y' hitted enter... It starts, then says 'dpkg: error processing gngeo (--remove) failed to delete media/mmc1/roms.dpkg-tmp read only file system Errors were encountered while processing: gngeo E: Subprocess usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) . Can anyone help?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Not sure about your problem, didn't experience it, seems related to the SD card on the phone, I do not have one.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

trying to run metal slug i get "Unknow or unsupported romset".
started it with the following:
/home/user/gngeo/bin/gngeo --biospath=/home/user/MyDocs/Roms/Neogeo/bios --fullscreen --rompath=/home/user/MyDocs/Roms/Neogeo --romrc=/home/user/gngeo/share/gngeo/romrc --romrcdir=/home/user/gngeo/share/gngeo/romrc.d --sound mslug

tried also with mslug2 and got the same.
the roms there are in zip - is this ok?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

I'm not sure what I have wrong with my mem card, maybe I need to backup, format, recover of it, in Win XP system detects virus (.exe) under cities, images etc folders. But anyway after trying many things, I deleted roms folder, unmount card, then deleted gngeo app.

I was getting screen small because of 'gngeo' version OS08, with your instructions I finally realized I don't need to install gngeo.deb.
It is just the comand on x-term after having the files on My/Docs, then edit the gngeorc using Filebox( for key remapping using ascii table values), also installing XGngeo to be easier to configure, start games.

It is a very good emulator, I only have some bugs on ps3 controller connected, will make sure on key remapping again. I have Coin ket set to r, but also when I press UP on conroller, also when RIGHT, it's START on game, wich makes me annoying on KOF games.

Thanks for all your instructions, I finally could get it working since last week on my holidays, but I gotta charge my ps3 cont tonight.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Maybe your bios and roms aren't on 'Mydocs/roms folder' .

Install XGngeo, would be a lot easier than x-term.

Also try 'gngeo/bin/gngeo mslug' ... After having bios and roms on MyDocs/roms folder.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

I finally managed to play "Metal Slug 1", though with a small screen yet. But I realized that is the only game that runs with me, I tried "Metal Slug 2, 3, & 4" it says
- ms2_c1.rom [************************************************** **
or
- This ROM is unloaded because Gengo could not find a suitable drive to handle it

Same goes to King og Fighters 2001

but KOF 2002 starts loading, then the green screen, then black out and nothing happens till I stop the emulator.

Do I need more BIOS or different ones to support these games??

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Maybe you need more bios, try mame bios aswell, similar with kof2002, gngeo returns a error message like 'something really wrong happened' don't remember, but the app recognizes rom, then crashes before load. Some bigger roms require to dump .gfx file to make them smaller, so gngeo can play, it is called WinDump or so (for Windows systems) , but I haven't tried that yet. You get screen small because you have OS2008 version installed. Will try to make a small tutorial tomorrow or later. And a video on Youtube.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

using XGngeo, after i set the paths and save (all lines are green), i go to choose the rom file and i get:
"this rom is unloadable because gngeo could not find any suitable driver to handle it".

i have in the roms folder all the 4 rom bios files (also in MyDocs/Roms) and still not working.

any ideas?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

owh Mame,, yea I had that installed before this one, I did not fully understood the way it works and reads the bios, I unzipped the game and the bios into one folder then zip it all under the game's name (I dun know if I'm doing it wrong but I read it is this way).
Maaaahhhn u would do a great favor if u do so,, after all thanx for replying :)
I'll try ur method 2day and see how it goes.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Probably is because you need to dump the rom before, what is the file size? Or you need to check you romrc file and see if it has kof2002 added, even if it has, sometimes there is this message (run unloadable, not suitable driver...). Then you need to try different rom versions, I also don't get kof2002, kof2000 and mslug4 or 5 to work, you gotta find games elsewhere and or snk drivers to add manually to romrc file. Wait for my tutorial for normal screen playing, here are 2 screenshots:

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

TUTORIAL for GNgeo (NeoGeo emulator)

I wanted to make easier to install this great emulator. I am following third parties instructions, so I am not responsable for any damage you may have. Try not using other apps while running GNgeo.

--Check your App Man to check if you have GNgeo installed, if you have, remove it.

--Download Emulator files from here:
http://hotfile.com/dl/108748653/a716...ry.tar.gz.html
Save it to your MyDocs folder (32GB) on N900,

--Using X Terminal type:
cd /home/user
tar xvzf MyDocs/gngeo-0.7-n900-binary.tar.gz

--Install XGngeo v. 16-2 from App Man (optional)

--create a folder 'Roms' on your MyDocs folder, drop all the bios you find (unziped) and your neogeo games in zip format.

--on X Terminal type 'gngeo/bin/gngeo yourgamename' press Enter.

--Install Filebox from App Man (You'll need it to access home\user\.gngeo\gngeorc file. long press on gngeorc, edit p1key line for keys mapping (According to the ascii table ( www.asciitable.com ), don't mess too much with this file or create a backup first if you want to try some configurations out.

Under important paths, the first line is your bios ( /home/user/MyDocs/Roms ), the second is your drives ( /home/user/gngeo/share/gngeo/romrc.d ), third is emulator itself 'executable' gngeo v 0.7 ( /home/user/gngeo/bin/gngeo ). Those paths should be the correct ones and all of them should be geen instead of red. If you've done everything right, you will be able to play Neogeo games on your N900 after it.

Any doubt, post on this threath, I'll be checking it daily. Will post a Youtube video tomorrow with emulator running, I need to charge my ps3 controller before.

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Good work. Have you managed to work out how to make it full screen?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Gleydsonpr, you're the man :)

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

I managed to re-map some of the buttons using the ASCII table but couldn't figure out how to map the directional buttons to the left, right, up and down keys on the N900.

Anyone got any idea?

Re: Neogeo emulator nokia n900 instructions
 

Fullscreen is under graphics settings on XGngeo, doesn'tt actually make the output image bigger, just centralize it, but can't use volume keys and/or some other screen transitions, emulator crashes sometimes especially if initialized by X Term.

About key mapping: On mine is 273,274,276,275 wich is UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT . Follow asciitable values.
