PLEASE DO NOT ASK US TO SUPPLY YOU WITH ROM IMAGES OR ASK US WHERE TO FIND THEM. WE CANNOT HELP YOU.   Please DO NOT send us any roms.   ATTENTION:   We are VERY dissapointed in many people out there, we are doing alot of work on our spare time and for free. And we couldn't imagine that so MANY people was so totally out of respect that they use a hacked version of NeoRAGE. There will always be some scum that doesnt hesitate to hack our work. Even to use a hacked version is respectless against us. When people that we trust and respect are doing it we are loosing our motivation. So don't expect any sound update soon, if ever to the public.   Special Note for ver 0.2 and later:   You must have a Neogeo fix file named ng-sfix.rom in the same dir as NeoRAGE.exe. This file can be found in the bios package.   Installation:   Unzip the NeoRAGE.zip and put you roms in any subdirectory as you like.   You will also need the Neo Geo system bios "neo-geo.rom" and system fix-file "ng-sfix.rom" installed in the same directory as NeoRAGE.exe. This version supports both the home console and arcade system. There is no need to convert any roms, they will work as they are.   Syntax: neorage 'dirname of game' [options]   Like: neorage cyberlip  neorage 3countb -v -s   Command-line options:

      Known problems/todo list:   Sound support, and we are working on that.   Specific game related problems:   Riding Hero - not really playable Super Sidekicks2 - gfx glitches TurfMaster - gfx glitches World heroes 2 have still a minor glitch one tile row are missing sometimes   (we have tracked all the gfx problems so it is hopefully history soon)     Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting:   I get a message 'Unable to initialize VESA'. Whats wrong? Your graphic card doesnt support 320x240 vesa res or 640x480 if you use -s, try to download scitech display doctor. My screen just get black when i try to start the games? Try -n (noscanlines) if your display just gets black. Try -vga if you have trouble with the modex resoloutions I have no sound? It is not implemented yet, but we are working on it. How could i enter the menu? Hit TAB How could i enter the Dipswitch settings menu? There are 2 ways to do this: 1. You can use F1 to switch between Dipswitch menu directly. No need to go through NeoRAGE menu at all. 2. Or Enter the machine settings from the main menu. Select MVS Settings=ON. Accept changes and reset NeoRAGE. Now you can change the softdip settings as you like. When you are done leave the softdip and enter the NeoRAGE Main Menu again. Change MVS-Settings=OFF and reset NeoRAGE. Note! Remeber to leave the dip-menu before Pressing F1 or reseting. The colors are wrong in some moments in vga or modex? Try to hit Space it will rearrange all colors, we must do some complex palette mapping to get it to work as good as possible because we have only 256 colors available in our supported resoloutions and sometimes it would help to rearrange all colors. We are updating the colors all the time but if the game has locked up a big scale with colors it could help. Everything freezes when I load a saved state, why? Make sure that you wait for the title screen to appear before loading state, right after starting NeoRAGE. While defining hotkeys its very hard to press all the buttons at once? Hold down all the buttons you want to map to the selected key and press [ENTER].       email:   We will NOT respond on any questions about NeoGeo roms or bios.   DO NOT EMAIL US ABOUT MEMORY PROBLEMS !!!!   All bug reports and suggestions Suggestions Bug Reports   Authors Anders Nilsson Janne Korpela     World Wide Web   The NeoRage emulator will be available from the following sites :   http://home5.swipnet.se/~w-50884 (Home Page) http://dspace.dial.pipex.com/dodge/ (The PC arcade) http://www.classicgaming.com/freeplay (FreePlay) http://www.davesclassics.com (Daves Classics) http://www.emuviews.com (Emu Views) http://www.myspace.co.uk/dodge/ragemirror/rage.htm (Rage Mirror)   SPECIAL THANKS TO:   -araCORN for his work with dumps.
