I'm wondering about this as well. I don't recall having to put in BIOS files for Neo Geo games in RA.
en.m.wikipedia.org
According to the docs there's a Neo Geo BIOS:
The CD system's big selling point was that you could get the games much cheaper than the cartridges. But the load times were terrible, like 20-30 seconds in between matches. This led to the system flopping, so of course now NG CD games are absurdly expensive because of their rarity.Neo Geo CD - Wikipedia
It could be that. Are there any benefits to playing to neo geo games as opposed to their arcade counterparts?
They also released some games that wouldn't have been feasible(meaning price and audience) on the regular Neo Geo, like the Samurai Shodown RPG(did not know it was released for the PSX/Saturn until right this moment). My impression was that they were trying to make inroads into the larger console business with something sane people(and parents) would buy.
I always felt the Neo Geo CD and 3DO suffered the same fate. Expensive high end systems of their time but once they could market the system to the masses, the Saturn and Playstation came to existence and made them irrelevant.
I mean, how many good games did the 3DO actually have that weren’t/aren’t already on other consoles though?
A lot got ported later on because the 3DO was a massive failure, but it had exclusives that the SNES/Mega Drive couldn't handle like The Horde, fancy Road Rash, fancy Madden, Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed as it was originally called, Return Fire(really fun in multiplayer), Gex if you're into that, Hell, some other PC games.
The only game I could see being a better version than the ports is Gex. Not only did the 3DO use a save feature rather than passwords, but it also had a debug system you could access anytime and allowed you to access an unused boss fight
I could care less about the lighting and graphics, I'm just really impresssed they got N64 games to run at 60FPS. And I say that as someone that doesn't give a shit about FPS to begin with.
Have you tried the tricks in the comments from the DOSBox' compatibility database?>download 6 ISO files for the game "Ripper" ( 1996 DOS )
>Configure it with DosBox Game Launcher
>Set ISO files as directories D-I
>ISO files don't work
>decide to extract each ISO as a folder
>set folders as "cdrom", with same D-I directories
>game installs and setup runs fine. Get sound and picture/video
>set directories in setup so each CD has their own directory and don't share "D"
>runs game, main menue appears
>tests game by clicking "view intro"
<INSERT CD 1 INTO DRIVE D

For the record, DosBox was my last resort. I have a Win98 and XP VM on my computer, but it doesn't work on the XP one and it completely froze my 98 one to where I had to restart my entire computer.
