Disappointed the pocket games are switch only. I hope they come to other platforms.

Hi all, new here. I absolutely adore the Neo-geo. Never had one as a kid, they were always that elusive machine that no one in my circle owned or even knew anyone that owned. I'm trying now to gather up all the games I want that have been re-released on modern hardware. Ideally I'd like to just purchase roms for the flexibility but that seems unlikely. From some experimentation I've found; Dotemu emulation releases (Steam/GoG) - Pretty lousy, laggy, poor sound emulation. I imagine these are what Twitch Prime will be giving away. Curious if the roms can be extracted. PS2 Classics on PS4 - Not great. Some are OK (Fatal Fury Collection) but some feel laggy to me. I guess they're PS4 emulating a PS2 emulating a Neogeo! Code Mystics - Really good with some nice extras and added rollback netplay to some. Hamster ACA - I really like these. Emulation is great (I have MS:X on both Hamster and Dotemu and the Hamster port is way more responsive and doesn't have missing audio). The only downside here I think is the lousy scanline filter which has really excessive blurring. I have about half a dozen of these, the only one that seems a bit off is Top Hunter. It feels like it's dropping inputs. Push a button and some time the action doesn't come out. It's weird. Never played the original so can't say if it's supposed to be like that or I'm imagining it. I'd like to buy a bunch more of these but I'd at least like to know if they're going to be backwards compatible on the PS5 given it's so close. I wish these were on Steam and I could pull the roms out. I know they're on the Windows store also but I can't say I'm keen on owning titles there. It seems like Hamster hold the current licensing agreement for NG with SNK so I can't imagine we'll see many titles from other companies.
