What about NeoRageX?

[Epsi]

Hey what about adding the (extremly old, but classic) arcade emulater NeoRageX? Seems its in high demand, evn on this site.

Can but the latest official version of NeoRageX can't be supported in WinXP. You still want to let it uploaded? :cool:

[Epsi]

This reminds me of another (very old, but again classic) arcade emulator, Impact. Think you can look into adding that also?

[Epsi]

Yeah I know, but can just add both the officall version and the hacked 0.8c

Unfortunately, we here can't accept any hack emulators which is NeoRageX (hack version which can be play in WinXP), CVGS, Emurayden, Cassini and etc.

However, we will try to help as much as we can do for people who have problems with these 'hacked' emulators.

[Lefteris_D]

NeoRageX is a load of crap and will never be added here as long as I breathe. If you seriously plan to play NeoGeo games try using another emulator along with romsets that don't have to be hacked to run.

As for Impact, it's pretty much obsolete and has some issues with any operating system using an NT core(XP & 2000). You can still play the same games, and more, using Zinc.

[Epsi]

I used neorage before I discoverd kawaks (v1.40 at the time) and have never looked back! Just thought it would help some people out if the site had a section for it...

[Epsi]

And I doent wana sound rude, but I thought this is 'The Emulator Zone', and not 'The Some Emulator Zone'... But then again both these emulators are very old and buggy... Guess your right.

[Lefteris_D]

Let me be more clear.

Zinc supports the SAME games as Impact and more. Plus it has better support for hardware and operating system as well as features. Would you still like to use Impact?

As for NeoRageX it is sadly true that many people use it but it's really not the best emulator. Would you rather use a buggy & hacked emulator or something better like MAME, Nebula, Kawaks, MAME etc?

One of the reasons for using NeoRageX was that newer NeoGeo games were not added to other emulators because they were too new. Now games such as Metal Slug 5 and King Of Fighters "2005" are supported by those emulators so there is no reason to use NeoRageX.

[Epsi]

I know! And I personly use Kawaks and Mame32 FX for ALL my arcade needs! I just feel its unfair to include some emulators and then leave others, even if its crap and bugged to death!

[Epsi]

Its just I see EZ as a collection of all things 'Emulater related', except for the obvios exclusion of roms. I meen it cant bring any harm to the site to just add it under 'other arcade' can it? And then you can rate it zero...

[alcoatjez]

I completely agree with Lefteris_D. There is no reason anymore to use NeoRageX. It is not supported by XP, it's discontinued and it even supports wrong ROMs for many NeoGeo sets.

NeoRageX has become obsolete due to MAME, Kawaks and Nebula. If you want to include NeoRageX, you should also include other obsolete emus like Ace, Calice, SNAME, Sparcade, Retrocade, Shark, etc. I can name at least 20 more of these, but I think you will get the point.

[Epsi]

Yes I know! And agree, NeoRageX is old/crap. But thats not my point! There is still (fuck knows why) lots of people useing NeoRageX. And they all use the hacked version (0.8c) that works on XP (so stop bringing it up)! And Calice is on the site!!!

[alcoatjez]

I hate hacked emus. How would you find it if someone hacks your work and releases it?


And Calice is on the site!!!

Sorry, I didn't know that. Then that is obsolete also...

I use neoragex (nrx) occasionally (well I use most arcade emulators from time to time), and I had no trouble running it on XP after selecting the proper settings.

The legal versions ended at 0.6b (released in 1999), and they could play both MGD2 and decrypted sets. The hacked versions cannot play MGD2 sets; in fact nrx will close down if it detects a MGD2 set, no doubt a side-effect of the hacking.

The things I like about nrx is that it's fast; and it can autodetect new sets even if they're not on the list. For example even though Pochi and Nyaa is a 2003 game, it gets detected and runs perfectly on 0.6b - as long as you use the decrypted set.

The bad thing is mentioned above, the fact that the encrypted sets cannot be used - they need to be decrypted first.

My favourite version would be 4.8 as it runs just about anything.

[Epsi]

I know the original authors of NeoRage stoped development because of hacks. But its exactly that that spawned all the hacked versions, cause what else was fans to do... Cant we just have a poll?

[Epsi]

It would seem NeoRAGEx is under new management (or hacking?). Homepage (NOT english):

[Robert]

Portugese I think.

Thanks for that link! :)

Nope, my sixth sense tells me that emulator is another hack version. (Yeah, it's believe to be Portuguese. BR = Brazil?) :cool:

[Robert]

You don't need any 6th sense, anything after 0.6b is a hack. :p

[montpics]

You don't any 6th sense, anything after 0.6b is a hack. :p
Heh, I am bullied by the experts. :o

[Zach]

So just add the last non-hacked version, we've got tons of other "not the best" emulators available here, I don't see why this should be any different.

Either that or someone should be committed to taking down other "old crappy not xp" emulators such as Nesticle, etc.. You can't have it both ways if you are going to inject logic along the lines of hacked up / OS compatability issues

[Epsi]

I'm starting 2 wonder whether anything after 0.6c can actually be called a 'hack'. Since its made so much advanceses and improvements in NeoRageX 5 that its more NeoRageX 'Plus' or 'Advance'. Even thou it started as a hack...

Simple, there is not official word given (from the authors) that NeoRageX had been passed down to someone who have the previleges to do the coding. Instead, not only one person, lots of persons tend to modified into one of their own without the authorization from the 'REAL' authors in order to do so. It's been a real shame that because of that, they stop their development for good.

Note : There's a lot of hacks relating to NeoRageX and none of them is the very same one. Can you find which one is better? None, I guess. :cool:

[Epsi]

Ok, but they kinda had to hack it after the original authors stoped. Does it stil get called a hack if they give their emulater a diffrent look and feel? And NeoRageX 5.0 (hacked) is better than the old and original NeoRAGE 0.6c

[Epsi]

And when you think about it, how many people REALLY (and by that I mean legaly) have the roms they play with NeoRage... I bet you that evn the original authors of Neorage had some.

[Lefteris_D]

I might be able to have some time to spare this weekend in order to add a few emulator entries to the site. Everyone is free to post a few suggestions which will be taken into consideration if I end up adding any emulators.

[Epsi]

I vote for Haze MD (sega mega drive) and Xebra (sony ps1)... and as for NeoRageX I still think its worthy, but I can see you dislike it... alot...

[Robert]

Zebra? you mean Xebra. :p

[Epsi]

Hey so what emulators are you adding to the site? Or didnt you have enouf free time...

[Lefteris_D]

Haze MD will be added. The problem however is that at this moment accessing the official site is impossible. This could probably be a problem of my isp so I'll have to wait for a few hours before adding it.

[Epsi]

Mameworlds .info domain is down, something about fed up hosts... And I think the author of MAME32 FX also has a 'customized' version of HazeMD. So no Xebra?

[alcoatjez]

And I think the author of MAME32 FX also has a 'customized' version of HazeMD.

Yep, and there is also another build on the MAME Plus! site. It would be nice if these would also be added, since they offer more functionality and are both 'legal', since they both also post the source.

[Lefteris_D]

The site is back so...... (http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/genesis/hazemd.html)

[alcoatjez]

Nice work! Thank you, Lefteris_D :)

[Epsi]

Thanks man... so I take it no Xebra..? and no NeoRageX..?

[montpics]

Stop 'whining' the very same thing every day. Please let the Lefty take some time before he really changes his mind for not uploading both emulators for you! :glare:

[Lefteris_D]

NeoRageX? Never!

Spreading the use of that emulator only helps spread "bad" romsets. I don't plan to help do that...

[Epsi]

Stop 'whining' the very same thing every day. Please let the Lefty take some time before he really changes his mind for not uploading both emulators for you! :glare: i dont do this for myself! I try and help the site! Now i have something to fucking 'whinning' about...
