NCDZPSP vs NeoCD-Wii

NCDZPSP is a Neo-Geo emulator within NJEmu, a collection covering CPS1, CPS2 and NEOGEO (CD) emulators for PSP. It is listed for PSP, PlayStation Vita and PPSSPP, with Neo Geo CD support and save states. The latest listed release is version 2.3.5, published May 11, 2018, with an NCDZPSP2.3.5.zip download. That release records a game-list limit of 512, cheat support, multilingual support and command hotkeys. Its ROM set uses MAME 0.152, with some hack and bootleg sets added. The README maps O to OK, X to Cancel and SELECT+START to the emulator menu. The 2.3.x series is described as experimental; its notes warn that added features reduce free memory, some games may require cache files and some may fail to start. AdHoc online play does not apply to NCDZPSP, so netplay is unavailable. The project is GPL-3.0 licensed, and source builds require PSPSDK 0.11.2, MSYS and Makefile edits.

NeoCD-Wii is a free, open-source Nintendo Wii emulator for Neo-Geo CD games and a port of the NEO-CD REDUX GameCube emulator. Installation involves extracting the archive to an SD card or USB drive and placing game files in folders there. USB 2 support requires IOS 202. The emulator also needs a NeoGeo CD/Z BIOS named NeoCD.bin in a BIOS folder at the SD card root. Game audio belongs in each title’s MP3 directory as Trackxx.mp3 files; 44.1 or 48 kHz and 128 kbps or better are recommended. Version 0.5 lists interlaced and progressive video modes, a filter toggle, configurable Wiimote and Classic Controller buttons, saved settings, and page-based browsing. The project supports the internal SD slot and is libfat compatible. Some games may still show black screens or graphics bugs, and DVD support was untested. The repository lists GPL-3.0 licensing.
