ACA NeoGeo releases #177

TheNametag commented 2 months ago

Is there any information on extracting the ROM files from the various Arcade Archives releases? They're available on consoles, phones (mostly), and on Windows via the Microsoft Store, but the latter are apps rather than executables.

@TheNametag, people are working on it (if I remember correctly), but no one has been able to get them fully extracted.

It's only the NeoGeo games that are released on Windows, right?

TheNametag commented 1 month ago

It appears so, according to Wikipedia etc.

Seems that it's possible to extracts the ROMs from certain releases, such as the Android version of The King of Fighters 2003: https://milkchoco.info/archives/8448

I did some stuff around extracting from ACA NeoGeo releases here: https://github.com/ValadAmoleo/sf30ac-extractor

Unfortunately I don't have time to support or update this anymore. But the source might give you some hints if you want to try taking it further.

I've been poking around in the apk for the android release of Aero Fighters 2, but I can't find any sign of the Neo Geo binaries. Either they are inside one of the Unity archives or they get downloaded separately.

Looks like the ROM can be extracted, here's a blogpost with the instructions: https://milkchoco.info/archives/5936

Thanks, that worked. Google translate was a big help for this.
