Hi all,
I recently got a JXD S7800B Android tablet as an emulation machine. I'm mostly interested in Japanese games on platforms that were never released in the West. So, last weekend I got Neko Project II (NP2) running.
Anyway, the are currently three versions of NP2 that I have managed to get working.
1.
Sourceforge: Neko Project II for AndroidOne to avoid. Last updated 2012-02
http://sourceforge.net/projects/np2android/files/- broken full screen option
- missing UI options
2.
F-Droid: Neko Project II for AndroidCurrently the best option. Fixed version of the above. Last updated 2013-04
https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/jp.sawada.np2android+ keyboard mapping (the abcd buttons can work as certain keys)
+ virtual keyboard
- blurry graphics in full screen mode
- awkward soft menu access to NP2 menu
Still, things are quite usable at this point. I will share the JXD7800.key mapping file soon.
BUT!
I then found a third version that requires some setup but has better/faster emulation. It comes without a readme, but does have a helpful screenshot of the directory setup.
3.
Turboz: Neko Project IIThe desired option. Last updated 2014-06
http://turboz.to/sandbox/+ pixel perfect fullscreen
+ faster, more accurate emulation
+ simply touch the screen to access NP2 menu
+ (also available for Mac and Windows)
- requires bios and font rom files (easily found)
- hardware or USB keyboard required
- no virtual keyboard
- no keyboard mapping
Cheers,
matt
