Special FIX Memory Preservation

Added support for preserving FIX graphics during loading screens
Implemented the official Neo Geo CD loading screen mechanism that:

Detects when loading screens are active
Backs up FIX memory to a temporary buffer
Copies new FIX data to program memory at offset 0x115E06
Restores original FIX memory when loading ends

FIX Loader: Implemented the special memory preservation mechanism used by the real Neo Geo CD hardware, where:

Original FIX memory is preserved during loading screens
New data is stored at program memory offset 0x115E06
System automatically detects loading screen state by monitoring memory address 0x10FDDC


This fixes a number of games and intros and loading screens and cutscenes



Old broken fix restore memory handling.

New fixed.

So a fully perfect Captain Tomaday will have to be updated :)

This total rewrite of the cdrom loading system is something i had to do for SS RPG HINT
NO more broken or missing layers on intros and other parts of games..
This also restores missing sfx and voices in menus and intros..

Pc version never did any of this who would thought improving this whole core in 2025 :)

I love it when you explain to us what you do to repair a game so that it can work at its best on your emulator. We feel the passion and the experience acquired in programming during all these years. You are very impressive Ian michael. I am 45 years old and I am the best technician in my field for my company and seeing someone so strong explain to us what he does so that we can play in the best conditions on dreamcast is incredible. Thank you great master 👍👌

Ian, great work with the Neo Geo CD ports - it’s interesting to see how software for other contemporary systems can be rewritten to work with the Neo hardware, which indirectly gives the DC a path to running System 16 games.

Would you happen to know if H0ffman might be taking a look at Altered Beast? That would be the crowning jewel of System 16 conversions to play on DC - probable real challenge is the larger use of sprite scaling compared to what’s seen in Shinobi and Golden Axe.

Would it be possible to reupload:
Double Dragon
Robo Army
Crossed Swords II
Aggressors of Dark Kombat
Baseball Stars
Magician Lord?
The OG links on page 2 3 and 4 are dead. I saw on page 42 someone was asking for Double Dragon, but when I tried the link, it was to Zupapa.

I tried the links for:
Street Hoop
Power Spikes II
Treasure of the Caribbean
Magic Drop 2
as well in the discord, but they were dead.

I noticed in openmenu dat tools it said there was:
Choutetsu Brikin'ger
The Super Spy
Pulstar
Sengoku
but I couldn't find those.

These are great, the quality of emulation makes them almost feel like a retail DC release.

In Neo Bomberman some of the audio tracks don’t seem to line up exactly as I remember from the MVS version (The running out of time song plays on the how to play screen, different track plays on the VS battle demo loop) and sound volume seem a bit quiet

What tool would allow to replace the Audio tracks and repackage? I’d also like to try Art of Fighting with the Remixed music from Pc Engine or the PS2 collection release.

Any thing not DN CD 3.0 i removed there not dead there old and never to be seen again Current games can always be found here https://archive.org/download/dn-3.0-neo-turf-masters.. Whole point is to have the best and better then any release.. If you
just want games with skipping and errors and not up to my standard there is archives of whole sets but since the input lag and other things are not perfect i cant enjoy it.. Depends on how high your standards are been 20+ years working on this so not in any hurry..

You know if it's proper 3.0 it has proper gui that matches retail bleem but a bit better.. I had every one remove old releases in time every game will be done.. I have fixed quite a few games that never ever worked on neo4all or my old one and that's the point ...

I have been looking at versions released on switch and others input lag on them is super bad far worst then what I'm doing here. To replace audio there is no tool 4 steps i have a video on my channel have to remake the whole image from new..
