Missing Something with NeoGeo AES won't launch from LB

[wolpoffm]

Good Morning!  I am having trouble with getting my NeoGeo games to launch from LB.  I can open Retroarch from LB and select the game and a core (FB Alpha 2012 seems to work) but when I goto associated platforms for retroarch within LB and set the core to FB Alpha 2012 Libretro (or any other neogeo core), they won't start from LB.  I click on the game and it doesn't do anything and even if I right click and say launch with retroarch and the associated core, it doesn't want to work.  I must have the bios in the right spot if it works from retroarch directly yes?  Anything else I should look at?  Thanks!

Is your retroarch emulator setup to extract roms before launch? That will break arcade games as they must remain zipped.

Bingo, that was the issue. Thank you!
