Raspberry Pi with Neogeo

So I followed Shea Silverman's blog post, but could not get gngeo to work properly. The gngeo GUI would hang whenever a game was loaded or it was exited. Following this comment from the Raspberry Pi forums, I decided that compiling gngeo from the source would be a better option. Unfortunately, that comment doesn't explain the full process and what's required to get started. After messing around a bit, here is the complete series of things you would need to do:

1. Install GCC4.7:
• sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7
• export CC=gcc-4.7
• export GCC=g++-4.7
2. Install SDL:
• Run "sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev"
(AND/OR; you may or may not need to do the following)
• Get the source code from here
• The file should look something like this "gngeo-0.7.tar.gz"
• Untar the source folder (tar -zxvf gngeo-0.7.tar.gz) and cd (change directory) to that folder.
• On the terminal, run "./configure; make; sudo make install"
3. Install zlib:
• Get the source code from here
• cd into libz and run "./configure; make; sudo make install"
• Installing zlib may not actually be necessary. I just went ahead and installed it, following the gngeo readme file instructions.
4. Install gngeo:
• Get the source code from here
• run "./configure --build=i386 --host=arm-linux --target=arm-linux --disable-i386asm --enable-cyclone --enable-drz80; make; sudo make install"
5. Download neogeo.zip (which is the neogeo rom) and whatever game roms you need, unzip inside /usr/share/local/gngeo:
• cd ~/.gngeo/
• wget http://sheasilverman.com/rpi/gngeorc (Note that this file needs to be saved as gngeorc, not gngeorc.txt)
• You might need to unzip neogeo.zip inside the folder "/usr/share/local/gngeo" if gngeo complains that it is missing a couple of files.
• Run "arm-linux-gngeo -i ~/ ~/gamename.zip" to actually play your game.
6. For fullscreen:
   • type "sudo vim ~/.gngeo/gngeorc"
   • change the line "effect none" to "effect scale 2x50"
   • change the line "fullscreen false" to "fullscreen true"

A couple of helpful commands you might use: scp (I used this copy roms over from my mac to the Raspberry Pi after having sshed in), wget. I managed to get metal slug x, art of fighting 3 and king of fighters 97 working.
