VisitGnGeo vs NeoCDRX
What both publish
| Fact | GnGeo | NeoCDRX |
|---|---|---|
| Game files | By default, GnGeo searches for BIOS and games under `$prefix/share/gngeo/`; games must be ZIP files and the BIOS must not be. | Each game must be placed in its own folder under NeoCDRX/games, with an mp3 subfolder for music tracks. |
| License | The README says the original code is GPLv2 with a special linking exception and warns that commercial use of GnGeo as a whole is forbidden because of MAME code licensing. | The README describes the project as open source under the GPL license; GitHub lists an LGPL-2.1 license. |
| Purpose | GnGeo is a NeoGeo emulator for Linux and possibly other Unix systems. | NeoCD RX is a Neo Geo CD/CDZ emulator for GameCube, Wii, and Wii U's Virtual Wii. |

Pick GnGeo if…
GnGeo suits Linux users who want to run NeoGeo ROM sets and configure display, sound, and controls. Users need the listed libraries and BIOS, and should note the commercial-use restriction.
Pick NeoCDRX if…
NeoCDRX suits people who want to play Neo Geo CD or CDZ games on GameCube, Wii, or Wii U Virtual Wii. It requires BIOS and game-folder setup, and Wii use requires a way to run unsigned code.
