Neo Geo CD tools
I use the following tools to create the Neo Geo CD version:
mkisofs - Makes test iso image for testing on emulators. A real CD is created using Nero. I create a mixed mode CD with the necessary files, and an audio track. The audio track probably isn't required, but doesn't hurt anything either.
Open tUME (http://members.aol.com/opentume/) - Creatse the tilemaps for the game. I am in the process of switching to Mappy (http://www.tilemap.co.uk/), due to the limitations of the Open tUME tools.
PcxNG - Custom written tool to convert pcx tiled bitmaps to the Neo Geo.
RoomNG - Custom written tool to convert Open tUME files to Neo Geo format (sprite) tilemaps.
PcxNGSpr - Custom written tool to convert pcx files into Neo Geo sprite format.
FixNG - Custom written tool to convert pcx files into fonts for the Neo Geo.
I've written a custom graphics library to handle the tilemaps and sprites. All startup code was custom written (except for crt0.o and the standard C library).
I use MAME for testing and debugging. The Neo Geo CD version is slightly modified from the Neo Geo version. I use the Neo CD emulator for testing.
