I had been having trouble setting up Neo Geo MVS and AES to work seemlessly and independently of one another, without having to manually set MVS/AES in the dipswitches every time I wanted to change from one to the other. As you probably know, the MVS (arcade) and AES (home console) carts were exactly the same. It's was the BIOS of each machine that instructed it which version of the game to load. I wanted the Neo Geo MVS roms in my Arcade/Mame rom folder to behave like the arcade, and I wanted my SNK Neo Geo AES roms to behave like the home console. Given that I couldn't really find anything in Google searches, I wanted to share my solution and simple batch script that should help you if you were having an issue simialr to mine. I am sure that there is probably a better way of getting this done, but this has worked absolutely fine for me, and I hope it can work okay for you too. Pre-requisits: Working Neo Geo AES compatible roms and bios. I used the latest full set MAME 0.253 (merged). You're happy with MAME for arcade emulation, and using the Retroarch FBNeo core (install this) for Neo Geo AES emulation. If not, then these steps as they are below won't be suitable for you. Maybe you can tailor to your needs. Run the bat script to copy Neo Geo AES compatible roms from your MAME rom directory (default D:\LaunchBox\Games\MAME) to a desired folder location (default is D:\LaunchBox\Games\SNK Neo Geo AES). These paths can easily be amended in the script via Notepad/Notepad++. (The variables are right at the top of the script, and pretty self explanatory). Create a working BIOS file by placing the files located in the newly copied aes.zip into the newly copied neogeo.zip, overwriting any files. DO NOT edit your original MAME files. Move the newly copied, and now newly amended, neogeo.zip file to %LAUNCHBOX%\Emulators\RetroArch\system\fbneo (or wherever you have Retroach installed). Import ROMs from SNK Neo Geo AES folder into Launchbox with Retroarch as the emulator and fbneo_libretro as the core. Load any SNK Neo Geo AES game, and press F1 when it loads to enter the Core Options, Neogeo Settings and set Neo-Geo Mode to AES Europe/Asia (English) Go back one and scroll down to DIP Switches. Set BIOS to MVS Asia/Euope ver 6 (1 slot) Restart and you should be good to go! copy snk neo geo aes roms from mame directory.bat

that was indeed the issue, thank you!

Yo, as I use Skraper for all my artwork and metadata, I reckon you have perfectly described my issue! I shall take a look and report back. Thank you for your speedy response!

Happy Friday all, Firstly, if this has already been discussed elsewhere, I am sorry. I couldn't find that it had been, so I will decribe the issue I am having. I have separate rom folders and console platforms for each of TG-16 and TG-CD. All my TG-16 roms appear in the NEC TurboGrafx-16 under the Console platform, as expected, and all of my TG-CD roms appear in the NEC TurboGrafx-CD, again, as expected. Rnadomly, however (and as far as I can tell, it is random), all my TG-16 roms get removed from the NEC TurboGrafx-16 platform and in their place, my TG-CD roms appear. My NEC TurboGrafx-16 pflatorm now containing my TG-CD roms, and my NEC TurboGrafx-CD also containing my TG-CD roms. The TG-16 roms are no where to be seen in my Launcbox library. I fix this by re-running the import ROMs wizard to bring back the TG-16 roms to the NEC TurboGrafx-16 plaftorm, which adds them back in and then renaming the folder containing my TG-CD roms and doing a scan for removed roms in TG-16. This fix is only tempoary though and soon enough, the TG-16 roms disappear only to be replaced by my TG-CD roms. Help please! Cheers!
