I'm just glad it worked

Well the bat file is 265 lines long minus the first 2 lines making it 263 including bios files. My romset was the full set from that one rom site we all know about but cannot speak the name

Cool, glad it worked. Romlister and other programs like it are good for what they do. The only reason I was able to do this so quickly was because I already had a full romset pulled out in it's own folder already to generate a txt file and edit accordingly. I will make a couple of different bat files for zip and 7z, move and copy and upload them to the utilities download page.

Yeah just use the bulk edit function in notepad to change copy to move. And there is no Alpha Mission 1 for the NeoGeo, it was before the NeoGeo so it's not part of the set.

If this works I will upload it to the utilities page. The way I created this was: I generated a txt file of the folder contents using the command line: dir /s /b > list.txt Then I opened it in Notepad++ and used the bulk find and replace to remove the folder tree from each line and replace it with the copy command so all that was left was copy romname.zip. Then to add the folder I was copying to the end of each line using the bulk edit again. In the bulk edit tool I turned on Regular expression at the bottom. In the "Find what" field I just simply put in $ and in the "Replace with" field I put in NeoGeo with a space in front of it so it was " NeoGeo". The space was important or else it just tacked on the end with no space. Renamed the file with the extension .bat and ran it.

If you have a neogeo folder already created in your Mame folder it will just copy them in. There is no point in dropping this bat file into an empty folder because it will have nothing to copy out.

Ok here, I cannot guarantee this will work for you but a quick test worked for me. Here is a bat file that I made to first create a NeoGeo folder and then copy all the rom files into the folder it created. I generated this list from my NeoGeo rom set which should have the same names as the Mame files. It should include every game rom and bios file. If your file extensions are 7z instead of zip just use the bulk edit of notepad to change it. Just drop the bat file into the same folder as your NeoGeo roms and run it. I do not know what will happen if it runs into a file that is not in your folder. NeoGeo Copy.bat

I may have a solution for you here in a moment.

You could try that out. Now are you just wanting to import your whole Mame set and then change the platform for the NeoGeo games while leaving the rom files in with all your Mame roms or are you wanting to have all your NeoGeo roms in a separate folder ?

Unfortunately there is no easy way unless you can find a bat file already made to copy them out to a new folder. The easiest solution barring really shitty internet is to re-download a NeoGeo only rom set. The rom set has not changed for the newer versions of Mame or the rom set for that version.

SSF has problems and this is why people like myself and others were so happy to see Mednafen come out with their Saturn emulator.

There you go then.

Just go into the Options and in the General section look for Updates, make sure Check for Updates on Startup is enabled, restart Launchbox and it will update without losing anything.

The easiest way to do this is set up Launchbox as your Windows shell. Use a program called bsetshell to change your shell. Go to this website http://bb4win.sourceforge.net/bblean/ on the left hand side click bsetshell and download it. Put the program where ever you like and run it. A small window will open and in the Shell for all users section click other and type in the path to your BigBox.exe. Click set & logout. Now when your system boots up it will boot into BigBox. If you ever want to switch back open your task manager with Ctrl + Shift + Escape and use this to load the bsetshell.exe and set it back to Explorer.

The only thing I got left is try turning off the the stretch screen option. What the display bug looks like is in the rendering change from windowed into full screen mode and what you are seeing is the bottom bar of the window being left on screen. What version of Windows are you using ?

Try turning on Fixed Fullscreen Resolution, I have that turned on and have never run into the problem you are having. I have no clue if that is the fix or not, just throwing shit at the wall and seeing what happens

Can you post a screen shot of your Options > Screen tab ?

Did you try pressing Alt + Enter to put it into window mode then Alt + Enter again to put it back into full screen mode ?

I'd suggest using Retroarch for TG / PC Engine CD games over Magic Engine. Magic Engine was great for it's day but Retroarch using the Mednafen core or the stand alone Mednafen is the better way to go instead of messing with mounting CDs.

Yeah we have to very careful about it.

There are full NeoGeo rom sets available on certain rom sites that aren't difficult to find. That's of course if you don't want to pull roms out manually.

Hope you don't mind the edit to show what is actually in the bat file

Thanks for the Astron.txt, mine was just abelt.m2v and wouldn't load. Now it does.
