What is NGPC?
Neo Geo Pocket Color (1999) was SNK's handheld answer to Game Boy Color. Although it had a short commercial life, it became a favorite among retro gaming fans thanks to its tactile, clicky mini joystick, its fighting and action games, and its exceptional build quality.

Add it to Nelkano
Open the library, tap the + button and select the game file. Once the import is complete, you can open it from the library.
Start playing
Select the game and use the on-screen D-pad and A, B and Option buttons. You can also use an Android-compatible controller.
Frequently asked questions about NGPC
What is the difference between the two models?
Files ending in .ngp open in monochrome mode, while .ngc files open in color mode. Both use the same controls.
Can I save my game on both models?
Yes. Nelkano supports saving and loading states for both Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Color. Each state belongs to the game and model it was created with.
Do all games work?
No. Some titles still have issues, particularly with graphics. A game starting or playing sound does not guarantee that it will work correctly throughout the session.
