Is there a way to play Neo Geo games on the DS using an M3 Lite? Thanks in advance
I doubt there's anyone on this forum that knows more about that system than me.

Ah reckon I'd give u a run for ur money
Sweet, you in the arcade emulation scene at all? (maybe under a different nick?)
I contribute some things to MAME, FBA, and FBA-XXX every so often, it may be helpful to know someone with a little better understanding of 68k ASM than me, as mine is fairly rudimentary. It'd be a great help to have someone track down a few of the bugs I've come across while implementing Neo Geo CD support in FBA (It does run pretty well though).
The DS is not fast enough nor does it have enough ram to run neogeo games (at nearly a playable speed [without a lot of slow slow slow vram]), and definitely not for Neo-Geo CD ones (the Neo-Geo CD has ~7 mb of ram).
Believe me. I doubt there's anyone on this forum that knows more about that system than me.
*Edit*
Just wanted to specify a few things.
C/C++ is soooo easy! And if you know those, it makes a few other languages extremely easy to pick up as well. ^^Sweet, you in the arcade emulation scene at all? (maybe under a different nick?)

Nope. I just don't have the interest any more.
And it kills me to write ASM - Its only if I really really have to any more,
and usually I don't.
I tried with the whole mame thing for a while - but,
I never learned C - just a couple of different types of ASM , and then Delphi
(And ASM in delphi)
I know the simple stuff that many books teach, I mean disassembling complex subs.So, It just annoyed me working out the C code as to whats going on,
then working out what the c should actually be doing.
:offtopic:
About the only games I play are on the DS or EMU on the PSP.
Which annoys me, but, whatever.

Learned 68K ASM on the Atari ST
Any atari or Amiga ASM book should serve you pretty well for that, if thats all you want !
I've long since forgotten the names of them, but I can still remember the covers
I'm not a brilliant coder or anything, just interested in it, once upon a time!

NeoRageX used x86 asm and a lot of speed hacks. The sound is not properly emulated either.speed is going to be a problem, DS is a slow clunk. but neo geo emulators have been around for a very long time, neoragex must be a good 10 years old by now. I seem to recall running it with playable frameskip on a cyrix 120 (or maybe it was even the 486?). still I think either were more capable than the DS.Â
The ram extension gives 8mb more, but afaik, the access is very very slow. It would make Neo-Geo CD possible, but still not plausible (due to the DS's cpus being very very slow).how much more ram does the expansion give the ds? another 4 mb? if it's another 4mb that should be enough for CDs or small games. And how does the read speed directly from the sd card compare to gp2x's? It doesn't have enough ram either and seems to read bits of the larger roms directly off sd.
Neo-Geo systems (AES/MVS/CD/CDz) are all fairly expensive. Especially for hardware that was produced more than a decade and a half ago.really neo geos aren't that expensive, especially the mvs units, and they're worth more in cool points than emulation ever will be.
None of the games that are worth playing are that cheap. A Metal Slug 1 AES cartridge can go for more than a thousand dollars. I don't know why people get so fixed on emulating it, when life's just better on real hardware. Seriously the games are mostly $10-40 now.

the best deals are on ebay, but certain stores are almost as reasonable price wise. (the top list is legit, 'special' list are boots)Quite cheap ^^ Legit carts?
so there isnt a way to play a game like metal slug on the ds without any loss in speed?
