KillerQ Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Has anyone else run into an issue where all FBA cores just cause a black screen for NeoGeo? They play perfectly if I load the same rom through the retroarch app directly.

Jason Carr Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hi @KillerQ, we're looking into this. We have successfully tested it in the past. Do you have the Neo Geo BIOS files in the Retroarch system folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerQ Posted September 13, 2019 Author Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) Jason, Thanks for the quick response. I don't have it in there... However, the games now load and play flawlessly through LB using the FBA2012 core... But OONNLLYY if I disable the "extract ROM archives" option in LB. Hope that helps! Since ujhave your ear... Let me ask you this, I noticed that RA has an option to treat the same. NEO GEO rom as AES or MVS, and you can change that on the fly. As you may have guessed, it seems to turn it from arcade into console as the mvs version you have to enter credits with a select button, etc... That being said, does launchbox care if you use the mvs or AES version of Neo Geo? I have a feeling that you could load one of the other in launchbox and label it what you want so you might think you're moving over the AES files but you're actually moving over the mvs files that you incorrectly put there in the first place. Since both versions will undoubtedly work on a computer, might not realize that you using one or the other... Just food for thought Edited September 13, 2019 by KillerQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 that makes sense as that always breaks arcade games since they have to be zipped to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Ah, that makes sense. Yes, MAME-style ROMs will absolutely require extracting ROMs to not be enabled. Good question on AES vs. MVS. I haven't really played with the platform much yet, but I'll keep that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you and I'm glad I could help! That's why I love being an obsessive beta tester... Everyone always wins!

Pilgore Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Has this been fixed yet? I've been trying to add Neo Geo games but all I get is a black screen when I start up the game through Launchbox. It works fine directly through Retroarch. One thing I noticed is that when I import the games it skips the bios neogeo.zip file. Could it be it somehow skips this in when it scans the folder for games? (still new to this). Like does it knowingly skip the bios because it knows it's the bios or does it actually not include it when its scanning hence the screen going black?

Jason Carr Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 It skips the BIOS because it's not a game. However, I'm not sure what the issue is for you (it's unrelated to the above). What core are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
