General requirements :
Supported roms extension are :
*.ngp
*.ngc
*.npc
* CDROM/MC :
- Put your roms in a directory at the root of you CD / MC
- Burn it (if on CD)
- Launch the emu, it's done !
-> filename are limited to 32 characters on the MC (including extension)
* HDD
- Create a valid partition with a filesystem where to put your roms
- Copy them into it (be sure to put them in the root directly)
- Launch the emu, select [HDD] in the browser
- Enjoy !
* HOST :
The emulator can load rom from host, in order to use this, put a file
named "romlist.ini" where is located the elf and containing :
directory\filename1.ngp;
directory\filename2.ngp;
directory\filename3.ngp;
...according to where you put your roms. for example:
PDroms\Manic Miner V1.0 by Lindon Dodd (PD).npc;
PDroms\packman.ngp;
etc...
in the above examples the roms will need to be located under a "PDroms" directory, respecting to where the elf is located. so :
\PDroms\Manic Miner V1.0 by Lindon Dodd (PD).npc
\PDroms\packman.ngp
\romlist.ini
\neopop.elf
note :
- When using host loading you won't have access to your mc/cd/hdd
- HDD is only available if you have a HDD installed and formatted.
- the Browser only support one level directory
- With HDD, the roms need to located in the root of your partition.
Partition must be valid and created with a filesystem
- There is some problem with refreshing CD content when changing CD
in the browser (just choose the old one / back and it should force refresh)
- The browser won't enter a directory/partition if it doesn't find any rom
inside (should add a warning msg).
The rom browser will allow you to switch from mc/cdrom/hdd to mc/cdrom/hdd .. -
