==Emulation issues==
* Hyper Neo-Geo 64 is poorly emulated. MAME is the only available option and, for now, Round Trip RV is the only game barely playable to the end. Excluding that title, no other game is working without nasty graphic errors, slowdowns (no matter what type of CPU/GPU you have) and terrible, glitchy sound emulation. There was a notable update for the MAME driver by [https://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2018-starting-early Haze] in 2018, but don't expect for good emulation in the short future. Hyper Neo-Geo 64 is one of the last pre-2000 Arcade platforms not playable on emulators by a "big" Arcade company.
