In their own words
GxGeo
GxGeo is a free Wii-family emulator for Neo-Geo AES and MVS games. It is a port of the open-source GnGeo emulator and is licensed under GPLv2. Supported platforms listed are Wii, vWii mode on Wii U, and Wii Mini. The project is described as an early version with some bugs. ROMs larger than 25 MB do not work because of memory limitations, although some ROMs can be modified to run. Installation requires extracting the ZIP to an SD card and placing zipped ROMs and BIOS files in /sd/gxgeo/roms. The instructions require 000-lo.lo and sfix.sfx, and describe country and system BIOS files; uni-bios.rom can substitute for a country or system file. Play is supported through a GameCube controller or Wii Remote. A GameCube controller in port 1 takes priority for player 1, while the Wiimote controls player 2. Downloads are linked through Google Code, Homebrew Browser, and Open Shop Channel. Open Shop Channel lists version 20101119.
NeoCD/SDLx Unleashed
NeoCD/SDLx Unleashed is a free Neo Geo CD emulator for the original Xbox. It runs many original Neo Geo CD games and reads real discs in ISO9660 format. The emulator does not support bin/cue or iso/mp3 images and requires an uncompressed 512 KB system BIOS named neocd.bin; the download page says a BIOS copy is permitted only for owners of an original Neo Geo CD console. It supports one or two players, full CDDA audio, region selection and memory cards. Display modes include 480p and 720p, selected according to dashboard settings. Video filters are AdvanceMame2x, Simple2x, SuperSai2x, SuperEagle and Scanline. Source code is released, and the download is a 448.6 KB ZIP attachment with no Digiex registration required. The page reports miscellaneous sound and timing issues and provides the program without warranty. The listed platform is the original Xbox. AES and MVS emulation, plus other related SNK arcade systems, are not supported.
