What will Santa bring you this Year?

I bring you the next part of my NeoGeo related NGFX-toolchain.

When I started the development of 'BlutEngel2' I used NeoSoundBilder from NeoBitz but I came across some problems - it was not compatible with my NeoGeoCD-AIO-files. After research and help from some people, I was able to develop my own Z80 driver which covered ADPCM-A, ADPCM-B & CDDA-playback.

The GUI (inspired by NeoBitz) has caused me more headache than the z80 part... but now it seems ready for release!

Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year!
