Humble SNK NeoGeo 25th Anniversary bundle, including several PC debut games

It's a bit weird how most of these are just arcade ROMs. Why not do the home versions? :/ Eh, I'll take it. Fun games are fun.
What home versions do you have in mind? The arcade ROMs contain the home versions. What is missing is the settings in the provided emulator but third party ones can provide that instead.

I have the Steam versions of Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug X, but SamShoV Special is very tempting. I think this is the first time that game got ported to something else.

Gonna spend the $10 to get this and give away the MS3 and MSX codes here if that's okay.

EDIT: MS3 Steam Code T2NTN-XWW9I-4E5JY
MSX Steam Code 636CA-57G4T-PK4AD

Hopefully the rest show up on Steam, too. I'll download and play ém off the Humble page in the meantime.

Because they do a bad job. They're selling roms that run in an emulator that's not even as accurate as what some random coder built for free 15 years ago. Why would I support that, or even think that's acceptable?

-Because, again, you can choose who to "support." Including a video game museum! They have real hardware and CRTs and everything!
-You get Steam ports of KOF games from a company that has a better grip on what they're doing

Is it okay I claim dibs if you are going to do that?

Metal Slug 3 and Metal Slug X are some of my most favorite games of all time.

I only have the PS2 version of Metal Slug Anthology to currently play them but a nicer modern Steam version would be so much better.

Ah, yeah. I mean the ability to set the roms to AES mode, I forgot the roms worked like that. I just think it's weird how they're set up in arcade mode.

Luckily, they do just have the roms in the install folders. They don't try to encrypt it or something.

Go ahead, man.

Wonder what else they're going to add, personally. Last Blade 2 would be nice, maybe some World Heroes...

It's too late. Someone snatched them before I saw you refresh your comment.

It's cool though. I am seriously just considering just throwing the $10 down to buy this bundle anyways.

I just hope I can do this without making my family mad at me for somewhat over spending this holiday.

The shirt looks awesome. If it wasn't for the awful CAD/USD exchange rate I'd get it, but as it stands that's just too far to justify.

Definitely getting this for $10 though.
 
Actually already have everything except KOF 2002 and Garou on Wii U (through Wii).

If I still have $10 I'll check back in 2 weeks and provide get it.
 
Quick buy some browser games

So you can buy em again on steam a few months later

If you dont own the KoF or Metal Slug games this is a great deal.....for all the rest, unless i knew for sure you will get steam keys for these when they get released, not really worth it. All these deserve good ports with mp. They did such a great job with the KoF releases. Garou and most likely LB2 is on the way to steam, i will wait on those.

If someone has knowledge of steam keys from these ...then i would grab the tenner instantly
 
"game I should not expect for a number of reasons. I will not give to charity in this amazing deal"

seriously, people sometimes. I just don't get it.

Oh dont be so serious. And also was not aware of the data east thing until literally just now.

I would give my left nut for a Windjammers with online play though!

That's basically how I feel. It would be nice if they could give a concrete answer on if Steam keys/full ports will be provided later on. If not, then the soundtrack and keys would be nice for a giveaway.

First off, great deal.

Second, who do I contact to conform that I'll get the steam keys down the road for the games that don't have them right now.

Third, should I wait for the steam keys to be added/the other games to be shown in the "pay more than average" block or just grab it now?

Add?!!! Holy shit, we're going to get more games on top of all of that??

I'm in disbelief. Seriously, this can't be happening. I'm going to wake up any moment.

Dot Emu... God damn.

Played Pulstar and holy crap. Game sounds are off. It also shows up as viruses from Windows Defender.

Time to check the rest. I hope it was just that one.

What are the best Snk games? I am asking this because I don't know this company well.

Can't really go wrong the the KoF, Samurai Shodown and Metal Slug games in the package, as well as Garou and Last Blade.

Some people also really really love Neo Turf Masters, Shock Troopers and Twinkle Star Sprites.

what

Plus just saw this series of tweets: https://twitter.com/Foxhack/status/674371627103096832

Can someone who understands that explain what was found in the file, and why the hell GameTap logos are in there (isn't GameTap like a long dead service???)

I'm guessing the emulator used for the games is an extremely old one. So old it uses an early method of running certain Neo-Geo games, before they were cracked.

I installed it on Steam, and my antivirus removed it cause it detected a trojan from it.
Might be a false positive?

If you have a 120hz+ monitor you got to lock it to 60hz. The games get messed up to hell and back if you don't.

I fucking HATE HATE HATE DotEmu.

first glance seems insane but if you look at which games have steam keys its a little less impressive. its basically these games are already being pirated on mame at least we can make a couple bucks by selling the rom.

i bought in the 10 tier cause i like SNK no real intention to play these games lol.

If it was Norton it probably flagged it as WS.Reputation1 which basically just means Symantec hasn't seen that executable before. Aggressive whacking of a relatively new executable. Other AVs have a similiar functionality if you have it on.

It is also possible the encryption cracking code (if this indeed an old emulator version) flagged a heuristic detection because the code looked dubious. Keygens and oldschool nocd cracks so the same thing quite frequently.

Just restore it and tell it to ignore it.

Yo how can I set AB, BC and CD mcaros for a game like Garou on fightcade?



OK first off got to Fightcade.com
Download the client then make a fightcade.com account
Now after extracting fightcade, copy garou and neo geo compressed folders (For example) to fightcade's rom folder.

Run fightcade, log in with your account. Find the game then type /Play to run it. Boom you can now use fightcade to play the games preoperly

Didn't realize you could do this makes them even more worth it! Wearing my Fatal Fury hat while I play the hype is real!
