NeoCD RX is a Neo Geo CD / Neo Geo CDZ emulator for the GameCube, Wii, and Wii U's Virtual Wii. It owes its existence to various other emulators: NEO-CD REDUX (Softdev), NeoGeo CD Redux (Infact), NeoCD-Wii (Wiimpathy / Jacobeian), NeoCD Redux Unofficial (megalomaniac). NEO-CD REDUX was itself based on NeoCD/SDL 0.3.1 (Foster) and NeoGeo CDZ (NJ) emulator, which are source ports of the original NeoCD emulator (Fabrice Martinez).
NeoCD RX is a "homebrew application" which means you will need a way to run unsigned code on your Nintendo Wii. The best website for getting started with Wii homebrew is WiiBrew (www.wiibrew.org).

[1.0.02 - April 03, 2023]
- First release.
- Fully working SDHC & USB support. You shouldn't see the emulator complaining again about the BIOS not being found, if you already have the proper file in the correct folder, specially on USB devices.
- Virtual Neo Geo Memory Card saving is fixed again. Use SD/USB or the GameCube Memory Card, the latter also works on Wii (backwards compatible unit).
- Fixed GameCube controller analog stick support. It wasn't working on Wii, only when used on a GameCube console.
- Rearranged internal menus for future expansion.
- Some tidying up.
[older update history in the NeoCDRX_manual.pdf] https://github.com/niuus/NeoCDRX/blob/main/NeoCDRX_manual.pdf
To use NeoCD-RX on the Wii / Wii U's Virtual Wii, you will need to extract the "apps" and "NeoCDRX" folders (directories) from the .zip directly to the root of your SD or USB media. It comes pre-packaged in the Homebrew Channel format, also compatible with the official forwarders. Then, you need to place your game files and music tracks into individually named folders inside the "\NeoCDRX\games" directory (an in-depth explanation for this in the correspondent section further below). For the GameCube port, you only need to take care of the "NeoCDRX" folder included.
Finally, you need to obtain a proper dump of the Neo Geo CD/CDZ console BIOS. Copy the file inside the "\NeoCDRX\bios" directory and name it "NeoCD.bin". The emulator only works with the following:
Neo Geo CDZ BIOS (NeoCD.bin)
Size: 524.288 bytes
CRC32: DF9DE490
MD5: F39572AF7584CB5B3F70AE8CC848ABA2
SHA-1: 7BB26D1E5D1E930515219CB18BCDE5B7B23E2EDA
Neo Geo CDZ BIOS (NeoCD.bin)
Size: 524.288 bytes
CRC32: 33697892
MD5: 11526D58D4C524DAEF7D5D677DC6B004
SHA-1: B0F1C4FA8D4492A04431805F6537138B842B549F
Once you are done, you can proceed to run the emulator. Additionally, you can install the NeoCD-RX Forwarder Channel in your Wii or vWii System Menu, or the special NeoCD-RX Channel for Wii U, which reads the configuration and necessary files from your device "\NeoCDRX" folder, be it SD or USB.
To configure NeoCD-RX, press 'A' on the "Settings" box. This will bring up a screen where you can configure "Region", "Save Device", and "FX / Music Equalizer".
• "Region" will allow you to change the emulated console region, to access other
languages and in some cases, change or uncensor game content (fatalities, blood,
difficulty, lives, title screens, etc.). Reload the game (not reset) for the
setting to take effect.
• "Save Device" offers two options, use "SD/USB" to save the SRAM memory
(sort of a virtual memory card implemented inside the real Neo Geo CD console)
directly to the media drive, or use "MEM Card" to save to a physical GameCube
Memory Card, as you would on a real Neo Geo AES, to take your progress to
another console, or just for the nostalgia factor.
• "FX / Music Equalizer" allows you to raise the volume on sound FX or MP3
tracks, or raise the gain in Low / Mid / High frequencies to your liking.
For every game disc, you need to create a subdirectory inside the included "\NeoCDRX\games" named whatever you like, and copy all the game data files there. Inside this folder, create another subdirectory called "mp3", where you have to copy your music tracks. IMPORTANT: even if you won't use the music, the folder is needed.
The music tracks need to be encoded from the original CD's Red Book standard 44.1 kHz WAV, to MP3 format (128kbps minimum, or better), named exactly "TrackXX.mp3" where XX is a number that always starts at 02, as the data track is always 01. Free CD audio ripping software is readily available.
Examples and pictures are inside the NeoCDRX_manual.pdf https://github.com/niuus/NeoCDRX/blob/main/NeoCDRX_manual.pdf
After this, you are more than ready to start playing. Each game folder you make will be treated by the emulator as a full CD.
