    Neo Geo CDZ Game Select Dialog

    + +

    The purpose of this dialog is to choose a Neo Geo CDZ game to play. When you click on a game in the list the dialog will display images of the games cd covers, if you have PNG files in the folder you have defined as your Neo Geo CDZ Covers folder with the games four digit NGCD-ID code, appended with either -front or -back, eg, 0030-front.png. The info panel under the gamelist will also be refreshed and will display information about the game.

    + +

    To play a game either double-click on it in the list, or select it and press the Play button.

    + +

    When you enter the dialog, a scan will take place of the ISO/CUE files in the folder you have defined as the Neo Geo CDZ games folder. If a game is recognised it is added to the dialog list. To force the scan to run again you can click the Scan Games button. You can force the scan to look in sub-directories of the folder you defined by selecting the Scan sub-dirs option. You can also force the scan to look for ISO's only and ignore CUE files by selecting the Scan for ISO only option.

    + +

    You can use the Directories button to open the Support File Path Dialog to change the folders to use for the games and/or covers.

    + +

    To view a full-size image of the covers, you can click on a cover image to open the image in a larger dialog box.

    Force FlipForces hardware flipping for games that require it. This is usually detected as an available feature, but due to DirectDraw being old, the support doesn't usually get detected. This option will force the flipping if a game needs it. This is best used with the System Memory Buffering Method. This option will likely force Windows to disable Aero and revert to basic settings, and is therefore recommended for older computers still using Windows XP only. If you are using a version of Windows newer than XP then you should be using the Enhanced or DirectX 9 blitters.
    Buffering Method Choose between Autodetect, Video memory, and System memory. The recommended setting is Autodetect unless this causes you problems.

    Experimental Blitter: DirectX Graphics 9 support is required. The Experimental blitter has limited functionality with DirectX 8.1 compatible hardware, but needs DirectX 9 for full functionality. For optimal results, Geforce FX 5900 series or Radeon 9800 series (or faster) graphics cards are required. For these cards, select the appropriate filter version from the Advanced options submenu. For all other compatible cards (e.g. Geforce FX series or Radeon 8500 and higher), select the high-performance option.
