NCDZPSP
What it is
NCDZPSP is a Neo-Geo emulator in NJEmu’s collection of PSP emulators. The wider project covers CPS1, CPS2, and NEOGEO (CD) systems, while NCDZPSP is listed for PSP, PlayStation Vita, and PPSSPP. Feature listings include Neo Geo CD support and save states. The latest listed release is version 2.3.5, published May 11, 2018, with an NCDZPSP2.3.5.zip download. Its changelog records a 512-game list limit, cheat support, multilingual support, command hotkeys, and a ROM set using MAME 0.152 with some hack and bootleg sets. SELECT+START opens the emulator menu, with O for confirmation and X for cancellation. The 2.3.x line is described as experimental. Notes warn that added features reduce free memory, some games may need cache files, and some may fail to start. AdHoc play does not apply to NCDZPSP. Source builds require PSPSDK 0.11.2, MSYS, and Makefile edits.
