[sjaak]

I've got some questions about this arcade machine, I just heard of it (one hour ago)
Does somebody have more info on this machine like all the games that where released and what about the current emulation state.
If somebody knows more about this please tell me :)

Hyper neogeo 64 was a machine designed by SNK to produce 3d games to compete with capcom . Several games , but not much were released including :
Fatal fury wild ambition : has a psx port
Samurai showdown 64
Samurai showdown 64-2 warriror's rage
Samurai showdown warrior's rage : has a psx port
Athena the awakening : has a psx port
there was another game i forgot it's name , but it was something like "ibuki 99"
oh and there was road rage too

it's not emulated yet :(
i can get u scans and extras if u want

[sjaak]

To bad it isnt emulated yet, what about rom dumping?
All roms dumped yet?
Thanx for the info !!

I don't know if they dumped the games . But I wonder what are they waiting for ? The hardware is already dead since more than 4 years .

Do you know any emulaotors in WIP state for this arcade?
Anyway, do you know is there a KOF game for that?

[Samor]

no kof, no emulation either.
KOF Maximum Impact, which is going to be released on PS2 soon, will be the first 3D KOF.

Hey here is the complete faq about hyper neogeo64 : http://members.aol.com/CMull11217/private/hyperneo64.txt

That's the best on the net , (and the one Katsuya got his info ;) )

Anyway , i don't think it needs a kof to be emulated . it still have good games , but unfortunatly not many :(
btw , "Beasts buster : 2nd nightmare" is the sequel of the NeoGeo pocket color game "Beasts buster" . The main diff is that the pocket one was a RPG game while the arcade one was a shooting game :)

“He” actually got his info from a well know gaming magazine. (FM wave I think. It’s I used for the top info anyway. ;) )

In a box I have several more tech documents on arcade boards. have to take a look at them later.

[Norbi]

So overall, it isn't really worth inmidiate emulation...

There will be a emu so day (maybe) but i don't think so someone will code one in any near time...
Atomiswave would be a better answer...

Care to share :) ? PLZ :D (just joking ;) )

>>>Atomiswave would be a better answer...

Well , Emulation was first thought of as a way of saving old games from being lost forever . I think they really should emulate HNG64 before Atomiswave .

[Norbi]

You are porbobly right, HNeoGeo64 is closer to being extinc (damn spelling)

[cloudvii]

If they emulate HNG64 that would be a good thing for many reasons .
1) Buriki one : is one of the best fighting games ever ;) .
2) Not all the games were ported to other consoles .
3) That can raise SNKPlaymore popularity and leads in more cash for them .
I wonder why even Mame staff isn't interested ?!

[Norbi]

Yeah, overall there aren't many consoles emulated which are rare and with a small amount of games (Zinc) emulating HNG64 would be a well worth for us, and SNKPlaymore. Or Maybe no one is codeing it because there machine and games are really rare?

[cloudvii]

>>>(Zinc) emulating HNG64 would be a well worth for us

I'm afraid that would be hard too :( , as Zinc is mainly for PSX based arcades .
While HNG64 isn't . Emulating this one would be hard really .

[Norbi]

Sorry, i forget to put a fullstop there!
I know Zinc is Playstation based arcade. I ment emulating arcades with not much games. That's HNG64 and Zinc
