Future: SNK's Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection #63

Open Feilakas opened 11 months ago

Feilakas commented 11 months ago

Samurai Shodown NeoGeo Collection is available (and currently on sale) on Steam and includes Samurai Shodown 1 through 5, including a previously-unreleased version.

Apparently the files have already been extracted/converted into usable rom files, provided I understand google translate correctly:

Hope this helps.

EDIT: After posting this, I found out that ValadAmoleo has already created a tool that extracts the game files and then converts games 1 through 4: https://github.com/ValadAmoleo/sf30ac-extractor

Finally, the below tool that follows the above instructions, takes the files already extracted by ValadAmoleo's tool and produces the rom "Samurai Shodown 5 Special (Final Edition)" (Steam's description refers to it as "SAMURAI SHODOWN V PERFECT"): https://github.com/Feilakas/samsho5_fe

Currently, the only roms still missing are the original "Samurai Shodown 5" and "Samurai Shodown 5 Special", however both titles are present in SNK's "NeoGeo Classic Collection" and both are already handled by this tool.
