Database for Neogeo/AES #720

Open zensurette opened 5 years ago

zensurette commented 5 years ago

Why isn't Neogeo considered a standalone platform with a separate DB?

MAME/MESS considers Neogeo/AES as a separate platform with a separate software list: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/hash/neogeo.xml libretro-db could reuse that list.

RetroArch needs a separate database to be able to treat Neogeo as a separate platform and not as arcade games. This will make visualization and configuration easier.

Suggested by @RobLoach in libretro/RetroArch#7287.

Thanks for making an issue!

Database: SNK - Neo-Geo? Core: ?

zensurette commented 5 years ago

Possible cores for Neo-Geo are FB Alpha and MAME.

RobLoach commented 5 years ago

fbalpha_libretro.info lists FB Alpha - Arcade Games, and it's up to 0.2.97.43 it seems: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-database/tree/master/metadat/fba-member

In terms of progress with the AES database, am I reading it correctly that MAME considers AES its own platform but FBA does not?

Hypothetically, could we use the Arcade Only DAT and the Neogeo Only DAT to separate the systems? It may incorrectly identify the MVS games as AES, but perhaps it would be a step in the right direction.

Has this gone anywhere?

In general, Arcade games are scanned using the .xml file with a Manual Scan.

Does the recent addition of the geolith core, and Neo-Geo RDB mean this issue has been addressed?

oh yeah, I think it does. i didn't realize there was an issue for this or I would have posted here when I submitted the database
