R36S Neo Geo CD Games

SNK's 1994 CD console offered the Neo Geo arcade library at a fraction of the cartridge price, with arranged CD soundtracks. The trade-off was loading: the cartridge originals streamed instantly, the CD version did not.

How well does Neo Geo CD run on the R36S?

Games run at full speed, but the Neo Geo CD loaded slowly on real hardware and emulation reproduces that faithfully โ€” expect waits between rounds. Requires the Neo Geo CD BIOS. Where a title also exists as a cartridge ROM, the cartridge version plays better.

Neo Geo CD on Each R36 Model

The chip is the same in every model, so the rating is too. What differs is the screen: 4:3 panels suit most home consoles, the 1:1 square panel suits Game Boy and GBA and shows 4:3 games with bars.
