What NCDZPSP is

NCDZPSP is a Neo-Geo emulator within NJEmu, a collection of emulators for PSP that the repository describes as covering CPS1, CPS2, and NEOGEO (CD). NCDZPSP is listed for PSP, PlayStation Vita, and PPSSPP, with Neo Geo CD support and save states. Version 2.3.5 is the latest listed release, published May 11, 2018, and the release includes an NCDZPSP2.3.5.zip download. Its changelog records a game-list limit of 512, added cheat and multi-language support, command hotkeys, and ROM sets based on MAME 0.152. The README maps O to OK, X to Cancel, and SELECT+START to the emulator menu. The 2.3.x series is described as a development version with experimental code. Its notes warn that added features use more memory, some games may need cache files, and some may not start. AdHoc online play does not apply to NCDZPSP, and netplay is unavailable. The public repository lists a GPL-3.0 license.

Who it suits

Verdict

NCDZPSP provides Neo-Geo emulation in an emulator collection for PSP, with save states and cheat support. Its experimental-series warnings and lack of netplay are important considerations.
