When choosing Neo Geo emulator software, compare the systems and features that matter for the games you want to run. Compared on AES and MVS emulation, Neo Geo CD support, and related SNK arcade compatibility, the entries also vary in netplay and save states. Supported platforms, free-plan availability, and paid-from pricing help clarify fit for your setup. Options include NeoRAGEx, Geolith, and NeoDS. Check platform support alongside the specific Neo Geo mode you need, then consider whether netplay or saving progress is important to how you play.
