All this talk of the Sammy Sho RPG made me want to go play it, again, but it was a rather unbearable experience on my Playstation. I can't wait ten seconds before and after each random battle that occurs! ;D

So, I was wondering, what's the state of Neo*Geo CD Emulation Et Al in hopes of playing a more user-friendly, non-loading, less-waste of my time and patience Sammy Sho RPG.

It's about perfect at this point. Never tried SSRPG on it though...

In fact NG CD Emulation is -sadly for some- more than perfect; I mean, you not only have access to the modified bios, but you also don't have to work with the un-friendly 1x CD rom of the NGCD. There are some problems with the graphics/audio CD plug ins; but with time that can be fixed.

SS RPG is a friendly game on NGCD, you have more HP & MP than the PS version and random fights are not that often (I remember having walking 2 big halls without any random fights).

Also the Omake version (gift after clearing the game) is better.

Don't you feel rather ashamed? Some people have to wait MORE than ten seconds, and they aren't complaining. -_-

In fact I waited more than those ten seconds MANY TIMES....

Crap, on Emus you don't even see the loading screen; but adio plug ins suck big time... Life is not fair... I wonder if I could modify a NGCD somehow to put a PC CD- Rom... dreaming cost nothing.

Errr... Clean your CD? (;

And the ten seconds I give is more or less an average. There were times where I went to the kitchen to grab a bite, only to find that, when I came back, the fight was still loading. Oy.

Anyway I could possibly leech this from you? I'm not trying to be a total bum. I own a copy of SSRPG, just not a user-friendly one.

By the by, for you and anyone else who has played SSRPG, in my version, there's a delay when Galford says anything with Poppy in it, so it's not, "Hey, Poppy!" or, "Let's go, Poppy!" Instead it's, "Hey... Poppy." And, "Let's go... Poppy." Did this annoy anyone else or is it just me?

Neo CD has some of the worst loading for any system. You have to wait up to a minute for some games to load PRE-BATTLE DEMO ( Gekka no Kenshi 2 comes to mind.. )
Update: Forgot the punch-line; anyway, so you ought to be pleased with your Playstation version. The Saturn version has good load time as opposed to the Neo CD version, too ( but it would still probably bother some people... )

It's sad, too; one of the reasons I wanted a NeoCD emulator was to get shots of the loading screens. But it skips over them every time! :(

You could try the desperate method of using a virtul CD ROM drive and set it to 1x (like the original NGCD LoL).

I wonder if there is a software that allows to do that..
