msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'll start by saying I have read and searched the forum on how to fix this but nothing worked. I have a whole folder full of Neo Geo roms. The are all ,zip files. Is that my problem? I've tried running it through retroarch and nothing would open, then I tried running them through a mame rom and nothing worked. Any help would be appreciated. I have been able to run everything except the Neo Geo roms. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Zip files are how they are supposed to be. Do you have the neogeo.zip bios files in the same folder as your roms ? Are your Neogeo games from a full set or did you piece it together manually ? Do you have Mame working besides Neogeo ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I do have neogeo.zip that contains all the bios info in the same folder as all of the.zip files I do have all of that on a secondary hardrive. It's not a problem for all my other platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I started with the retroarch using the fbalpha core. Quick question, every time I open retroarch it says pick a core. Shouldn't that stay selected?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 You have to specify a core to use in the command line parameters of your Retroarch emulator in Launchbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I got it. For some reason I didn't have the correct platform name in the right spot. Thanks Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Okay, I spoke to soon. It seems only some of the games are working. Some boot into retroarch and others do nothing when I click on them. Fatal Fury games work but Metal Slug games do not.

Lordmonkus Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 If some work and others don't the most likely cause is you have a rom set that is not 100% compatible with the emulator. The other possibility is that you don't have all the games set to use the same emulator. Select all your games in the NeoGeo platform, right click and edit and use the bulk edit tool to set them to use the same emulator if they aren't all set.

msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 That didn't work. Also when I imported the roms I did it as the whole folder which should have set them to that emulator Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah, that's why I said the most likely cause of the issue is you have a romset that is not 100% compatible with the emulator. I have no idea where your romset is from and for what emulator and it does matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Okay, I will try and figure it out.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msturner79 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Alright, it says that the rom set is in NeoRagex format. Does anyone know what that means? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 NeoRageX is an old and obsolete NeoGeo emulator, you really should update your rom set. If you plan on getting Mame setup you should get a newer Mame set and that will contain the NeoGeo set within it. It will make your life much easier.

Retro808 Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 @deksi Per forum rules do not link to site with downlaodable roms. I removed the link from your post. You can list the name of the site, just do not provide a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
