Neo Geo compatibility is quite good (albeit not perfect). And of course, the more demanding games do not run full speed without frame skips.

What do you mean with choppy graphics? Slow game play or skipped frames? Or are the graphics distorted?

And which games do you have problems with?

Ok, I see. Garbled graphics means you don't have the correct version of the ROM (or the game isn't supported). Try another (most likely older) ROM.

Not all games work. MS5, KOF95, Neo Drift, Neo Bomberman and Sonic Wings 3 work fine. But for instance SS1, SS2, SS3, WH1, Riding Hero and Viewpoint don't work (at least for me). They have garbled graphics or problems with raster effects.

Btw, I used this version of the MVS converter...

Now, which ROMs should you use? I'm afraid there is no easy answer to that question. Arcade emulation is a bit more difficult than console emulation.

In the ideal case, you have a current MAME set plus the corresponding rollback set (the rollback set contains all older ROMs that have changed over time) plus some others (WinKawaks, NeoRAGEx). Then you need a .dat file for your target emulator (in our case GA330 MVS emulator v1.1). That file can be used by clrmamempro to generate a ROM set for the target emulator. Check this post for more information about this topic...

http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/6285-gngeo-issues-too-many-to-list-all/#entry144071

Unfortunately, I don't know on which emulator version this MVS emulator is based on (I assume they took an older fba-sdl version, based on FBA 0.2.96.7x). And I don't have a .dat file either.

In such a case, I just generate a ROM set for the emulator I think the target emulator is based on and use them with the MVS converter. I did this for the OpenDingux FBA version, see here...

http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingux-releases/final-burn-alpha-for-opendingux-(pre-release)/msg59033/#msg59033

I think this .dat file would be a good candidate to use.

Btw. The Dingoo-Digital version of the MVS converter has a ROM info file (rominfo.mvs), where you can see which ROM files are required.

You can check your ROM zips with 7-Zip if the CRCs match. If you find all CRCs in your .zip file, then you have the correct ROM. If it's still not working, then the game isn't supported.

PS: I had problems with the Dingoo-Digital version of the MVS converter. Don't know if they are really the same.

Hi,

I found some errors in MVS converter and released a fixed version which corrects graphic glitches on some games.
You can see the post here: http://boards.dingoonity.org/dingoo-releases/mvs-converter-v1-3b-mod-fixed-8-non-working-roms/

The download link is at the end of the post.

Good work, thanks. Converted those 8 ROMs and added to the list above. They all work fine, just Viewpoint runs too fast (but that's an emulator problem).

 i am gonna email the mvs author and see what he says.

how can i open different rom sets? aren't most popular websites that have roms for download, all have the same exact roms for the most part?

where is the text editor located? i opened it with microsoft word, is this right way to view it?

I won't give me a MVS rom after its done, i tried a bunch of roms and all the same results.

The original one is better, the improved version does not work or maybe i am not getting it.

I tried to the dos version of it, and it says no rom found. I tried the other version of it and it will not give me any mvs roms after its done.

The original MVS converter at least gave me some mvs roms, the improved version does not work at all.

With this and the Dingoo-Digital version, you must put the ROMs in the same directory where the converter is. Otherwise, it will give you this strange error message, the rom (zip) cannot be found and no .mvs file is generated. With the original converter, you can have the ROMs anywhere.
