I went back in this thread to get Cyberlip so I could get that DNCD VMU save file. But Cyberlip says it is v2.9. Will it still have the DNCD sav file I need for your DN3.0 games?

Yes :) can also use windjammers lose a match let the timer count down run out then it ask to save data then the save file is there..Do the first level of cyber lip, died, did the save, now working without issue..

Converted all scaling from integer math to sh4 floating point math for scaling and tile creation. The Sh4 CPU is very slow at integer math and division. 

Fullspeed now.

-- Added tv ad from 1994
--Sh4 asm clear buffers routine
--Low level bios cpu read fix
--Zero frameskip
--Stable played it to the end.
--fullsaving working and stable no tone hang or sound bug
--Analog and D-pad movement
--HD remake of NeoGeo CD intro
--Bleemcast retail-like menu [Coding by Ian Michael], art [Adam aka Enfilade]
--OpenMenu product key and IPBIN and GDEMU image [DubCity]
--Threaded CDDA reading
--Swap screen will boot real NeoGeo CD-ROM of the same game
--REGION MENU HOLD PRESS START AT THE SWAP SCREEN YOU CAN CHANGE TO ANY REGION

Still must have a DNCD save file on your vmu or will not start use cyber lip or windjammer to
creator a save or you only get a black screen on boot..

Enjoy!

Loving these collections Ian awesome work as usual I hope to get back working with my Dreamcast again and sit down and enjoy these. Thanks for your time and effort Ian and for sharing with us NeoGeo just seems to belong on Dreamcast. :-)

Metal slug 1 best it can get :)

  • This game suffers from tons of slowdowns on the real NeoGeo CD machine and AES. I have used Dreamcast hardware to minimize delays between frames. It will still be slow in the same places, as this is built into the code of the engine. However, one thing that you can spot is that in the 68k assembly, there is a 30 fps lock code that is causing extra frames to be dropped. If the game was missing one frame, it would miss two. If it missed three, it would instead miss four. A game with a built-in frameskip in the game's code, which I can't change. I have micro-optimized frame pacing in the rendering to try to counter this; the actual delay between frames is reduced by 2 across all speeds. To improve things more would mean actually rewriting chunks of 68k assembly code, as apparently there are many slow functions in there. And no one is going to do this. So this is one of the best-running versions, better than on a real machine or arcade. So for the emulation on Dreamcast, we have better than real hardware. I can't take away all of the slowdown and skip frames, as this is in the 68k assembly of the actual game code.Not in the emulation of the game on Dreamcast.
Crazy metal slug2 shares the same code but worst..
