Our verdict on NCDZPSP

NCDZPSP is an open-source Neo Geo emulator distributed as part of the NJEmu project for Sony PSP. It is aimed at players who want Neo Geo CD support on PSP hardware, PlayStation Vita, or through PPSSPP. The published feature set includes save states, cheat support, command hotkeys, multilingual interface support, and a game list capacity of up to 512 entries. The project is published under the GPL-3.0 license, making it a fit for users who value an open-source emulator focused on a specific arcade platform.

Its strongest case is the combination of Neo Geo CD support and PSP-oriented compatibility. NCDZPSP includes compatibility with ROM sets based on MAME 0.152, while the wider NJEmu 2.3.5 release adds larger game lists and multilingual support. The component also includes a fix related to the 000-lo.lo file and sleep mode. These details make it more than a minimal emulator package for users managing a sizable Neo Geo collection on supported systems.

NCDZPSP is a focused choice rather than a broad multiplayer or multi-arcade solution. Netplay is not supported, so users looking for network play should choose an emulator with that capability. It is also documented as one part of NJEmu alongside CPS1PSP, CPS2PSP, and MVSPSP, rather than as a separate repository. Choose NCDZPSP for Neo Geo CD emulation with save states and PSP-family compatibility; choose another option if netplay or a wider arcade scope is central to the purchase decision.
