[Beta] Yo-Yo Shuriken (Neo Geo)
🕑 Added 2021-04-06 22:36:18 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I've already told you that I was working hard on making a Neo-Geo game on several occasions. Now is the time to show you the result: here is the (patreon only) beta version of Yo-Yo Shuriken for Neo-Geo hardware!
You might remember this game as I originally created it for the SNES in 2019. Besides now being an actual arcade game (with coins management, attract mode, high-score table... all connected to the Neo-Geo BIOS routines), this Neo-Geo port is also enhanced! Everything runs at a smooth 60 fps rate (no tricks needed to keep the framerate like I had to do with the SNES), and the game can handle up to 40 enemies on screen!
I hope you'll enjoy this new version of the game! As usual, any feedback is welcome :)
-= How to play =-
3 beta version files are attached to this post:
- YoYoShuriken_beta.zp: this is the MVS/AES version of the game, in a format that can be played with the MAME emulator. The process to add homebrew games to MAME is quite tricky, so I've added details on how to play the game with MAME in a "ReadMe.txt" file inside the zip.
- YoYoShuriken_beta.neo: this is the MVS/AES version of the game, in a file format that can be played on real hardware through the NeoSD Flashcart (I have the original one, but it should also work with the PRO one). Simply add this file onto the SD card and the game will show up in the NeoSD menu. Works on AES consoles and MVS arcade machines (single slot or multi-slot).
- YoYoShuriken_beta.iso: this is the NeoGeo CD version of the game, released as an ISO CD image file. If you have real hardware at home you can burn this file onto a CD-R and play it with your console. You can also use this ISO image to play with a NeoGeo CD emulator (I only tested it with MAME, but it should work on other emulators too).
Enjoy!
