Ack pff skip that emulation snarking, you found the ROM and that will last for all time, so how well this particular collection works is immaterial.

yeah, the rom is probably the big thing. emulation on SNK 40th was tough because we were supporting a dozen individual boards, across a project that we had 8 months to finish. That's always the thing with these! Never enough time to do everything you want to do.

I figured it was something like that. Selfishly speaking, I would love to see a project that was able to take its time on a game and get the emulation perfect, M2-style.

That’s what Mednafen is for. Capitalism doesn’t work. If you want perfection...open source is key. I prefer OpenEMU+Mednafen for OSX and the Wii version of Mednafen is amazing.

Does Mednafen do Neo Geo emulation? The Wikipedia article and official documentation site do not list Neo Geo AES/MVS support, just NeoGeo Pocket. Also, I couldn't find any mention of Mednafen having zero added input delay (as opposed to say Retroarch, which boasts that it does), which is the particular miracle that M2's editions perform.

Well, I guess. M2 made the PCE Mini and it for sure has some sort of lag. Mednafen is very good, that’s all I know. On most platforms it’s command line only for some stupid fucking reason and nobody would waste time with that shit unless it was worth it.

Mednafen was the one NGP emulator I could get to work! : D Interesting point about M2 and the PCE Mini. The only game of theirs I can say off the top of my head that I've tested for input lag is their KOF '96 on PS3 (part of the unfortunately short-lived NEOGEOSTATION line--they started with the earliest NEO games which was probably a mistake; in KOF, '96 was as far as they got), and it matched my test of MVS KOF 2000, whereas PS2 and DC KOFs were at least a frame slower. And I got two of their ShotTriggers shmup ports on PS4, which seemed quite responsive--but I don't have the arcade boards of those for comparison.

yeah, I'd love that too - open source emulators do evolve a lot faster than commercial/in-house ones quite often, as well.
