sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 When I launched through LB, a black screen window shows for a tenth of a sec "neocd.bin NOT FOUND (tried in neocdz neocdz) ”000-lo.lo NOT FOUND (tried in neocdz neocdz) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Does it come from the Bios? I explain. I think I got the bios through google in a list for mess ( MESS-0.151.BIOS ). But the actual mess is I believe 0.204. And I cannot find the bios for this version. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Your rom path looks completely messed, there are a few mistakes. First off where you have your bios all you need in your rompath is roms rompath roms Second, you're missing the other bios file; neocdz.zip Third, if your rom path has a space in it it needs to be wrapped in quotes.

sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 hmm I thought I needed to write the path to the roms, which are at the root of the hdd. so I changed back to roms, downloaded and put the 2 zip files in the folder and yet it doesn't work...Did i forget anything else?

Lordmonkus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 They just have to be the right bios and good disk images, cue + bin and you load the cue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 How do I know these are good bios? Is there a way to check them individually so It cannot be something else? I tried to launch directly from mess but the inyerface isn t clear, I got this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 It means it cannot find those files in the bios files that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 the thing I don't get is where should these files be. because the 000.lo.lo file is in the folder with the neocd bios (picture above) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 The bios files shouldn't really be unzipped for a start. You'll need the correct neogeo.zip and neocdz.zip in your roms folder. We can't tell you where to get them but they are easy enough to google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 I just tried again without anything else than the 2 zip files, and again tried to launch mess through launchbox. result is that 000-lo.lo NOT FOUND fatal error.... I'm wondering where Mess is looking for this file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Is 000-lo.lo definitely in your neogeo.zip ? Is your neogeo.zip and neocdz.zip in the roms folder? And lastly as lordmonkus said make sure your rompath in your ini file says roms nothing else after rompath apart from the word roms rompath roms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 I don'thave a neogeo.zip, but a neocd.zip and a neocdz.zip does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 And which version of mess do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgarath Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 You should be fine with the version of mess you are using but as I said you need neogeo.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 thanks i'm going to try that.I thought neogeo.zip was just for the cartridge version.Oh what a Mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 I got both neogeo.zip and neocdz.zip (both include 000-lo.lo file) and yet the black screen keeps on telling me 000-lo.lo NOT FOUND (tried ni neocdz neocdz). What else can I try? I'm running the 0.204version of mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgarath Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Looks right..Now I'm getting confused...Can you post a new screenshot of your roms directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sac1000 Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 here you are. My roms are in a different folder than the roms folder of mess which only contains the 2 zip files we talked about earlier. The games were isos and mp3s that I mounted (deamon tools lite ) and turned into bin and cue files (image burner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
