[SWITCH] NeoPop SDL v0.2

April 7th, 2018, 18:54 Posted By: wraggster

Nop90 has released a new version of the Neo geo pocket emulator for the Nintendo Switch:

Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Color emulator.

This is a preview release, I just compiled the emulator with my SDL lib making only minor tweaks, so there is a lot of work left for oprimizing everything.

Config save is missing and saving state seems to not overwrite a previous savestate. Also there ara some options to map to Switch controls.

This emulator miss a gui for loading roms, so I made a quck hack of the Homebrew loader to turn it in a rom forwarder. This is a planned feature for the official HBL, so in the future probably the forwarder will be removed.

In the release package I added an Homebrew rom (bomeberman from Thor, that is a menber of the Retroguru Team too), so to make testing the emulator easy. To install everything simply decompress the content of the zip archive in the root of the sd card.

if you want You can add other roms in the /roms/neogeopocket folder.

Everything is untested on a real switch, so I'm releasing this alpha version to receive feedbacks. If the forwarder doesn't launch a rom correctly, you can always move the neopop.nro in a folder named /switch/neopop and run it directly; this way, when launched without parameters, it will try to load a file named rom.ngc from the /roms/neogeopocket folder. I already added a copy of bomberman named rom.ngc in the rom folder.

Note: Exiting the emulator will crash the launcher. I'm working on it.


Source code isn't available yet.

The nros for the emulator and the forwarder are released on github (http://github.com/Nop90-Switch/neopop-SDL/releases/)
