Hello, I would like someone to help me with a question. I want to play the game by emulating it on a Neogeo emulator (specifically NeoRAGEx_5), and I would like it to appear on the list of available games. However, when I put it in roms and then in detect, well... it doesn't detect the game. Can anyone help me with this problem? Please.
Until all active emulators out there will officially support the game through their next updates..
- You can use the Mame package provided for download or adapt to your own installation using ./hash/neogeo.xml - FBneo nightly builds - Retroarch using geolith core + NeoSD version (doubledragon.neo)
if you want to discuss more feel free to join our discord.
otherwise... a bit of patience until your favorite emulator is updated ^^
I see you fixed the time trick x'). I found a slightly more elaborated way that worked without losing a life. Also added a bug I caused in the end-of-stage one boss.
I found it, it was F2, as I had seen the options that Retroarch offers, I thought that the menu should look like this, but then I remembered that since it is a game on the Neo Geo platform, the options like number of lives, difficulty and time would be there, with TAB it only shows default options that are useless.
First of all, thanks for the project, it's an excellent game. Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I'd like to run this game on Batocera. Would that be possible? And how would I do it? Thank you very much!
just a bit of patience before your fav emulators are updated to support this new game/rom ;-) feel free to join our discord chan to discuss about that with our follow members :)

I was able to get this to run directly in Steam using the standalone MAME version he has for download. Add 'neogeo doubledragon' to the launch options. Ask AI how to disable bilinear filtering. I had to create a .ini file I think.
Great game! I have found a bug in the latest release (dunno if it was on the previous ones). When the time counter reaches zero and you let an enemy hit You... You don't lose a life.
Tried to install on MVSX and overwrote everything with the included updated beta 2 file and now mvsxh gives a black screen when booting and goes back to the original start up screen. Any idea what's up? Thanks so much. Can't wait to play. Cheers.
has been reported to work fine now.. so give it a go again by copying files where it should ? :) and feel free to join and ask for help on our discord ;-)
I didn't realize I had to have Omega. I am way behind on hylo modding and been using the same thing for like 3 years lol. Anyway I just installed it on my Analogue Pocket and worked great. Cheers good stuff
Great job OzzyOuz the game looks fantastic I tested it on Geolith core on RetroArch and it's works perfectly I will play it with my dad he played the original game back in the 80s and we love classic style beat em up games thanks for the amazing gift
Hi OzzyOuzo, you are amazing. Thank you so much for this awesome project of DDOne. Would it be possible to create a Dreamcast version of Double Dragon OneDC.zip (Dreamcast) similar to teot[Beta-DC].zip (Dreamcast beta#3 rom).
The reason is because I am trying to run Double Dragon One on the Amazon Firestick 4K Max using cores such Final Burn Neo, FB Alpha 2012, etc. and no one of them seems to work and won't launch the Double Dragon Onegame.
I have also downloaded all versions of Double Dragon One from NeoGeo Rom to NeoGeoSD, etc. and tried all of them and tried all the cores and no one them would load the game.
I even unzip and extracted the file "doubledragon.neo" and tried loading that with multiple cores and it didn't work either.
But when I teot[Beta-DC].zip (Dreamcast beta#3 rom) using the FlyCast Core in RetroArch on my Amazon Firestick 4K Max, it worked and ran the game smoothly.
So if you are able to create Double Dragon OneDC.zip (Dreamcast) file version, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much again.
While DD1 could be ported to other platforms in the future i guess that you will have better luck waiting for the official support of the Beta2 from the FBneo team... which shouldn't take long ;-)
Just a bit of patience :)
Alternatively you can also ask community from our discord channel as some ppl are already playing the game on retroarch.
Easy way to get it working if you're running Steam Deck with Emudeck / Emulation Station, download ddOne-AES-MVS-Beta2-NeoSD.zip. Unpack doubledragon.neo. Put in roms folder for 'neogeo'. In Emulation Station, change default emulator for this rom to Geolith. Kick ass.
Hola, me funcionó la rom en el MiSTer sin problema, pero la rom para el NeoSD no me funciona en mi AES con el neoSD Pro, quizás falte el archivo base actualizado del flashcart de Terraonion para que reconozca la rom en el listado principal, tienen información al respecto?
en discord me dieron la respuesta, tienes que borrar el archivo LastGame.pro y ahí aparecerá el juego en el listado del NeoSD Pro (aunque se borrarán los anteriores juegos que hayas tenido precargados en el cartucho... sólo tienes que volver a cargar tus juegos favoritos :D)
Game done very well, perhaps the final boss too difficult to knock down, you have to hit him in the giousto moment otherwise impossible to hit. I finally managed to finish the whole game. It could be a oroginal game for NeoGeo MVS, congratulations
Loving the demo, great work! I also wanted to let you know that the MAME romset works just fine using the BackBit Platinum cartridge. Which leads to the question, when is the full version going to be released?
Minor update. It would appear that using the dedicated Neo Geo Rom also doesn't work with the BackBit Platinum Cartridge. It just gets hung up on the intro screen (disclaimer)
Many thanks to the developers of these relics. Especially if it's for Neo Geo. A system that shouldn't have been forgotten by SNK and other companies that bought it. Congratulations and thank you.
Simply fantastic , I still have to understand the moves , but done very well. I hope that in the final version there is more interaction with the background objects, such as burning bins or other, to be used to your advantage and some power ups that can be collected along the way. It would not hurt to also have some sort of store between one stage and another, such as knuckles, shin guards, harness or otherwise that could add points both in defense and attack.
Hoffman ( https://itch.io/profile/h0ffman ) might be able to help with the NeoGeo CD. He did ports of Golden Axe and Shinobi. Don't know the details on those, whether it's a single load or multiload, though.
I'm trying to use the NeoGeo rom in RetroArch and I can't figure out which core to use. FBneo said it was from an unknown romset and all the other cores I tried didn't work.
A new game/rom needs time to be supported by emulators, i'm sure it will be soon supported by FBNeo and RetroArch, just be patient, alternatively you can ask emulators authors/team to support the game ;-)
With arcade games, even if an emulator supports a system, it needs to be explicitly told to be able to load a certain rom by the author. MAME has a sort of rom database, and emulators like FBNeo use that database as a basis (emphasis on as a basis, it supports plenty of things MAME doesn't).
If you download the one labelled as MAME and extract it, it isn't just the rom, but a modified copy of MAME with the arcade rom extracted to /roms/doubledragon. There's a file in the base MAME folder extracted titled 'run.bat.' Running this will force MAME to run the rom.
I managed to get Xeno Crisis to work in FB Neo but i suspect it's because it has already been recomplied and not because the .xml file was updated with the correct attributes? XenoCrisis came with a sample xml file. I thought maybe I could just create an XML file for Double Dragon One to make it work?

old emulators can't support new roms.
Hello, what are the emulators that support this game ?
Until all active emulators out there will officially support the game through their next updates..
- You can use the Mame package provided for download or adapt to your own installation using ./hash/neogeo.xml
- FBneo nightly builds
- Retroarch using geolith core + NeoSD version (doubledragon.neo)
if you want to discuss more feel free to join our discord.
otherwise... a bit of patience until your favorite emulator is updated ^^
thank you
For me it doesnt work either of those options, only the mame.
it needs time for emulators authors to support new games / roms.. In few updates cycles the game will be supported everywhere ;-)
I see you fixed the time trick x'). I found a slightly more elaborated way that worked without losing a life. Also added a bug I caused in the end-of-stage one boss.
but... loooool for the second one ^^
will have a look at it.
thx for the feedback! :)
Yes... the second one is hilarious x). Keep up the good work.
Thx for doing your part! :))
Aye Sir!
What a beautiful bug hahahaha
😆
please contact me on discord or through our email: neobyteforce at gmail
would be better if i can send you a test version before flooding public versions on this page ^^
let me know ;-)
I played it now, still can’t believe how awesome this game is looking and running on my NeoSD. Fantastic work, thank you so much!!!
Nice shot and glad u like it! ;-)
Lot of fun ahead ^^
u can also try it with a friend! 2P is awesome! ;-)
Tried co-op today - so much fun!
one question, in mame how i acces to menu option ?
Tab key is the MAME menu
I found it, it was F2, as I had seen the options that Retroarch offers, I thought that the menu should look like this, but then I remembered that since it is a game on the Neo Geo platform, the options like number of lives, difficulty and time would be there, with TAB it only shows default options that are useless.
nice game, i will try now
First of all, thanks for the project, it's an excellent game. Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I'd like to run this game on Batocera. Would that be possible? And how would I do it? Thank you very much!
like most emulators / distros out there, Batocera will need an update to support this new game/rom..
just a bit of patience and u will be able to play on yoru fav emulator ;-)
Thank you very much for this. Passion projects like yours are one of the fun things that make life worth living.
Do you, by any chance, know how to get this game to show up on the Steam Deck? I'm using EmuDeck, and I can't figure out how to appear in SteamOS.
just a bit of patience before your fav emulators are updated to support this new game/rom ;-)
feel free to join our discord chan to discuss about that with our follow members :)

if you downloaded ddOne-AES-MVS-Beta2-Mame.zip use 'run.bat' as indicated into 'readme.txt'
Great game! I have found a bug in the latest release (dunno if it was on the previous ones). When the time counter reaches zero and you let an enemy hit You... You don't lose a life.
Heey!! nice one! thx a lot for the feedback! :)
You're welcome! I thought it was a very interesting bug, like the ones I used to get when I played arcade games in the 80s and 90s.
Tried to install on MVSX and overwrote everything with the included updated beta 2 file and now mvsxh gives a black screen when booting and goes back to the original start up screen. Any idea what's up? Thanks so much. Can't wait to play. Cheers.

What a beautiful work!
My favorite beat 'em up game franchise.
Thx for the nice words & glad u like it! ;-)
Have fun! :)

Essaye de rejoindre notre discord et quelqu'un pourra surement t'aider..

Is there a way to get the music somewhere plz ?

another notable track is the final boss theme by Miasmajin
https://youtu.be/ZVFPnEIaG68?si=0_4qI2ys8zdU9wRw
Excellent thx !
Great job OzzyOuz the game looks fantastic I tested it on Geolith core on RetroArch and it's works perfectly I will play it with my dad he played the original game back in the 80s and we love classic style beat em up games thanks for the amazing gift

All games Beta version ???
Yes, but FULL version! :)
Is it possible to play the game on emuelec through retroarch?
Feel free to ask the community from our discord channel :)
I don't use retroarch but from what i've heard it should work with FBNeo core.
this is the full version!
Maybe an idea to take "beta" out of the download names ;-)
All games names beta version ?
Tried this on mister. Amazing game. Thank you!!
glad u like it mate!
have fun ! ;-)
Easy way to get it working if you're running Steam Deck with Emudeck / Emulation Station, download ddOne-AES-MVS-Beta2-NeoSD.zip. Unpack doubledragon.neo. Put in roms folder for 'neogeo'. In Emulation Station, change default emulator for this rom to Geolith. Kick ass.
it works on mobile too!!!! but a distorted and laggy sound i dont know what issue is thank you!!
as it is a new game the emulator may need a future update for proper emulation ;-)
Have fun!
it need to turn off sound and the game will playable thanks for this game dev!!
Can you elaborate a bit more, its just crashing for me on the deck, but i guess i am using beta3
Hello. Would it be possible to have a darksoft version available for downloading? I would really enjoy playing your game and want to contribute.
Thank you very much for your fabulous work.
is there any emu on mobile? i want to play this game can someone help me with this
genrally it take some time for emulators to keep up with new released games, so just be patient and it will happen on your favorite emulator/distro

Hello!! I have download the MAME ver. for Double Dragon One and
Bad Dudes but it shows checksum error. How can fix? Thx thx.
showing the checksum error caption doesn't hurt ^^
it should work
there are some batch files like run.bat or baddudes.bat into the root directory that u can run.
or using
mame64 neogeo doubledragon
mame64 neogeo bdudes
just use the Mame packages available for download or u will have to modify the ./hash/neogeo.xml on your own
It works thx thx.
have fun now ^^
I cant seem to get this to work on the Mister? I wonder what im doing wrong
it should work, just join our discord channel that we sort this out ;-)
i will soon provide a package though
please try with ddOne-AES-MVS-Beta-MisteR.zip and let me know how it works for you ;-)
got it to work. thank you
time to have fun now!! ;-)
Game done very well, perhaps the final boss too difficult to knock down, you have to hit him in the giousto moment otherwise impossible to hit. I finally managed to finish the whole game. It could be a oroginal game for NeoGeo MVS, congratulations
Just checked this out on a MV1C with the Backbit Platinum cartridge.
Really impressed with the demo! There's a lot to be appreciated and it's really well polished so far. Plays like a proper classic beat-em up.
Can't wait for the full version.
Hi i love the demo when will the full game release?
in a few weeks :)
join our discord channel to get the latest informations!!
hello , will you post the link to the full game later ? thanks
the full game is available for download since sept 1st 2025 ^^
Loving the demo, great work! I also wanted to let you know that the MAME romset works just fine using the BackBit Platinum cartridge. Which leads to the question, when is the full version going to be released?
heya :) full version will be released later this year for free ;-)
u can also join our discord chan to get the latest news about the project
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that using the MAME version of the Beta, I can't get passed the Intro Screen using my BackBit Platinum Cartridge
Minor update. It would appear that using the dedicated Neo Geo Rom also doesn't work with the BackBit Platinum Cartridge. It just gets hung up on the intro screen (disclaimer)
Thanks for the feedback! for the time being the only flashcart officially supported on real hw is NeoSD.
I deleted the lastgame.pro file in my NeoSD's sd card and the game is still not showing up in the game menu list. Any Idea why, brother?
no more than 375 entries on the sd card bro :)
Many thanks to the developers of these relics. Especially if it's for Neo Geo. A system that shouldn't have been forgotten by SNK and other companies that bought it. Congratulations and thank you.
How do I get the full ROM?
will be released for free later this year :)
Bravo! try juggling when enemies are flying through the air ;-)
Hi ! which emulator you did it wuth ?
I always use the Mister FPGA
Simply fantastic , I still have to understand the moves , but done very well. I hope that in the final version there is more interaction with the background objects, such as burning bins or other, to be used to your advantage and some power ups that can be collected along the way. It would not hurt to also have some sort of store between one stage and another, such as knuckles, shin guards, harness or otherwise that could add points both in defense and attack.
A much needed title for the Neo Geo!
oh yeah! :) stay tuned! ;-)
Hoffman ( https://itch.io/profile/h0ffman ) might be able to help with the NeoGeo CD. He did ports of Golden Axe and Shinobi. Don't know the details on those, whether it's a single load or multiload, though.

not yet bcoz it's new

Just use that.
Mame is also using an external .xml (./hash/) file for its 'database' while FBNeo needs to be recompiled :-/
I managed to get Xeno Crisis to work in FB Neo but i suspect it's because it has already been recomplied and not because the .xml file was updated with the correct attributes? XenoCrisis came with a sample xml file. I thought maybe I could just create an XML file for Double Dragon One to make it work?
get latest fbneo WIP
It won't load at all in FBNeo for me.
just wait for FBneo update to officially support beta #2.. will not take long
