NeoGeo Games Don't work
« on: February 16, 2009, 01:39:22 AM »
Ok I got a whole bunch of neogeo roms  and they won't work on Fire Burn Alpha v0.2.97.01 emulator. The directories are right.  What am I doing wrong?

Probably they are outdated or you forget to include the newest Neo Geo bios romset.

Well, you get out your rom dumper and dump the roms off your legit neogeo mvs/aes... or you do what most of us do and go find neogeo.zip off the internets.

ok I got a neogeo.zip where do I put it?

sorry for not giving a full description I put the roms in the roms folder and try to load them but the roms won't show up in the rom selection screen. I the scan roms button 3 times but they won't show up so I can play them. Hope that helps.

You put it (unzipped) in the "roms" folder inside the same folder you have fba. Make sure that you DO NOT UNZIP any of the roms.

You probably either don't have the proper roms (find a better site) or you don't have neogeo.zip in the right place.

v0.2.97.01

This is the problem - from personal experience, FBA 0.2.96.99 and newer don't detect NeoGeo roms (tested on that version and on 0.2.97.02).

Vegita, you should find yourself a rom manager.  Newer FBA versions don't detect your roms because the romsets have been updated to match those of MAME (to be standard).
