KOF94 Re-bout Xbox has been Cancelled

[MegaDrive20XX]

some one on neo-geo.com had got an email from ebgames.com that the game got cancelled so he email SNK Playmore USA and they told him it was true

I just got this e-mail from ebgames.com today, March 8:

It was supposed to come out the year before last, and it looked kind of lame, so it's not a huge loss, IMO.

I bet they cancelled it to work on sequels for Magician Lord and NAM 1975! :p

Or revive the horrendous 3D Metal Slug

Yeah, that sucks. I e-mailed Ignition (UK publisher) about it a while ago and was told it wasn't coming out but Neowave is still set for release. It sucks living in the UK sometimes, Metal slug 5, king of Fighters 2003 and Samurai Showdown V still aren't out and Maximum Impact seems to have completely dissapeared.

It's a good thing I've already got the Neo versions running on my modded Xbox or I'd be really pissed off!!!

[Melf]

I haven't been able to get Neo games running in MameoX, as it won't recognize the bios. What did you do to get it to work?

[theevilfunkster]

Use FBAXXX for Neo Geo stuff. It also runs Capcom CPS1/2 and a load of other stuff (mainly Caves shooters) perfectly.

I got a pretty much complete Neo, Cps1/2 rom set disk off ebay for a couple of quid. Plus they all run straight off the disk, which is nice seeing as I still only have the stock Xbox hard drive installed.

[Joe Redifer]

Running Neo roms in Xbox MAME is a bitch! You have to have all the correct BIOS ROMs. But once you get it running it works A LOT better than the dedicated Xbox Neo Geo emulators like FBAXXX. No screen tearing during scrolling!

[David J.]

If you can turn on V-sync, that should do it. If there is an option...

[Joe Redifer]

I don't think there is one in the Xbox Neo emulators, but V-sync seems to be enabled automatically on Xbox MAME.

[David J.]

That's whats causing it. I've noticed when you have V-sync off on PC emulators, like Kega, the tearing is awful.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah on computer emulators the V-sync is always a good fix. Emulators on the Xbox leave much to be desired, however.

[j_factor]

I have v-sync on and I still get tearing, with lots of emulators.

[Joe Redifer]

Are you using an LCD monitor by chance?

[j_factor]

Nope, an old crt vga thingy.

A good emulator that works almost with every game for neo geo i have it neo rage 5.1 it plays metal slug 5 and more,for the few that not work neo rage 4,5 BTW no Bios instalments.And there was a Xbox converter for it that you can make youre xbox have normal pc settings i look it up aggain.
