StuParker Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I am extremely excited to get this up and running. Just a total noob question. Launchbox is mainly a front end correct? In other words, It still runs all of my ROMS from their original emulators? I am also having a hard time getting games to work for Neo-Geo. I do have MAME64 0.191 however one of my games wont work and I am assuming that's it's not correctly dumped? Thanks for the help all

Thanks for the help all Correct, Launchbox is just a frontend and does not come with any emulators, you will need to provide those yourself. As for your neo geo games, you say you have MAME emu version 0.191, are your roms also from version 0.191? MAME can be very fussy with roms, so in general your version of the emu should match with the version of the roms you have. Do you have a current MAME romset? Oh and welcome to the community.

That's the problem the site I go to says they've updated their MAME section to 0.184. How can I tell if the Neo-Geo ROMS were updated? 15 minutes ago, neil9000 said: Edited November 1, 2017 by StuParker Double Quoted
DOS76 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 If you open MAME and go to the Neo Geo game in the MAME list then click on the info tab in the right side pane it should show you if the rom passes audit or not.

StuParker Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 DOH.....I download that and make sure it's in the MAME directory i assume....son of a...

DOS76 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 If you have the full MAME set (which I have no clue whether you do or not) it should already be included.
neil9000 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Also what neo geo game doesn't work for you? I'll check it on my system. I'm still using 0.186 though.
StuParker Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 neil I downloaded the neogeo bios from a site. it's already zipped. do i unzip the file and if so where do I put it. No particular game I downloaded super 2020 baseball. let me know

StuParker Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 hahaha....apparrently all I needed was the damn neogeo bios....LOL

Bear in mind then that if you are downloading individual roms that you will need a bios for all the different arcade cabinets. It may be worth you googling "MAME bios pack" so that you have all the bios for all the different type's of arcade cabinets.
neil9000 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 I can't provide you with a link due to copyright issues, that's why I said to google It, it shouldn't be hard to find.
