==Emulation issues==
* Hyper Neo-Geo 64 is mostly emulated. MAME is the only available option and, since 0.240, all games are mostly playable with only bad audio emulation. There was a notable update for the MAME driver by [https://mamedev.emulab.it/haze/2018-starting-early Haze] in 2018 and in early 2023 The Hyper Neo Geo 64 has had some welcome fixes for both 2D and 3D graphics [https://www.mamedev.org/?p=522 with 0.252 version] and there should be [https://old.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/11ojbde/part_3_of_hyper_neogeo_64_emulation_updates_in/ more coming in the next release]. {{MAMEVer}} version [http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/lista_mame.php?game_sourcefile=hng64.cpp&arcade_only=0&current_version=0 compatibility status] or you can use [https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/1bf4528d15d895d06bb0b5ee6eed372f6da48c6d/src/mame/snk/hng64.cpp#L3104 this link].
