MrBrac Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 So this is really weird, I got neo geo , capcom roms in separate folders as well as the latest rom set with all games. FBA will not notice any roms . I point it to my rom dir of all roms or even specific roms and no go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not use FBA standalone for NEO Geo of CPS games but I just downloaded it and st the rom path for all CPS and Neo games and it found them with no issue.

Yeah I tried everything. 32 bit and 64bit I even tried to put roms in rom folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Not sure what is going on. That is pretty odd. Are your rom files zipped? All I did was download FBA to test for the question you had and there were no issues. I even set 4 rom paths as each CPS 1, 2, 3 and Neo Geo roms are in unique folders. FBA finds them all. I do not use FBA so that is why I tested it. I use Mame standalone or Retroarch FBA cores to run these oms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Well it is not the emulator as when I did the test it was from downloading the latest version before my post. It is FBA v0.2.97.42 64bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Maybe share pics of what inside your roms folder looks like and the folder structure. Then pics of the select game screen in FBA as well as the rom path screen in FBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 You know you can put the pics directly into your post. No need to host on a 3rd party site. What about screen caps of the FBA screens I mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBrac Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Of course, now it works / on to my next question how to do I add overlays and make specific games work for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I see the issue you have to check the CPS1, 2, 3, and Neo Geo Hardware boxes so it knows what systems to list roms for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrac Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Now I just got get Demul to stop being a jerk about input, slash get Rocket launcher to accept platform name Arcade instead of MAME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Are you getting an error or it just will not launch? Just set it up as you would most other emulators. Make sure your rom paths are set in FBA directly. Then add FBA as an emulator to Launchbox. Make sure in the associated platform tab you list all the systems you want to use FBA and make sure you enter the name as they are listed in your Launchbox set up. On the emulator details tab be sure to check the "Use file name only..." box. Edited February 9, 2018 by Retro808 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBrac Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I was messing around with options, with use file name only it works but still gets an error by works I mean it gives me a better error. It finds the game but acts like a game does not work when it damn well does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 What rom set version is your Roms from? If memory serves me right FBA works with roms from 175 and newer. Well at least back when it was version 0.2.97.40 that was the case. I would assume the latest FBA version still needs roms from at least that version to current.
