Best Neo Geo Emulators in 2026
Updated
Choosing a Neo Geo emulator means matching the systems and features you need to the platforms you use. Compare AES and MVS emulation, Neo Geo CD support, and compatibility with related SNK arcade systems; netplay and save states may also matter for how you play. Supported platforms, free plans, and paid-from pricing add useful points of comparison. Virtual Jaguar, NeoCD/SDL, and NeoDS are among the entries to consider. Check the listed support for your preferred Neo Geo mode and weigh it alongside the features and platform availability that fit your setup.
