Remember to read the readme.txt file before asking questions NeoRAGE - the first publicly freely available NEO-GEO EMULATOR ;-)

Page Last Updated 24/06/00

We are two guys that love programming and old arcade games. Our main goal is to emulate as many SNK and Capcom games as possible in our RAGE emulator, and as many NeoGeo games in our NeoRAGE emulator. We may include other games that we find interesting from other companies. We have decided to work only in assembler because we love the language and it gives the best performance, so as many people as possible will be able to play the games (PC users only, 'cos unfortunately assembler is not all that easy to port). Both of us are working full time as programmers, but we will work as much as we can with both RAGE and NeoRAGE. So, please be patient if it sometimes takes a little time before we publish a new release. We are very sorry that we haven't been able to respond to the many mails we've received lately, but we have been very occupied with work and still are! ;)

There's a general news section below, then click on the N in the link buttons below for the NeoRAGE sections or the R for the RAGE sections.

NeoRAGEx v0.6b

Unfortunately our planned release 21/6 has been delayed due to a personal tragedy. But do not despair. We will release a new version shortly.
Explanations to riddles:
1: ((nop>>4)*3)++ = nop is opcode 0x90/144 in x86, that gives us this formula
((144/16)*3)+1 = 28 days left to a release

2: sub bh,7 = (b equals the second and h the eight letter of the alfabet)
This gives us 28-7 = 21 days left to a release

3: (ffff%4) * smtwtfs = ffff stands for 6666 (f equals the sixth letter of the alfabet) and smtwtfs is the days of a week. 6666 % 4 equals 2. This gives us 2 * 7 which is 14 days left to a release.

SPECIAL NOTE:
-If a certain game does not exist in the gamelist in NeoRAGEx menu, it doesn't mean it's not supported, it's untested. Place the roms in one of your rompath and hit the import button goto the bottom of the gamelist and try to lanch, if it works then it's supported ;).
