        I'm running a Pi Zero, so I'm using pifba to run all of the NeoGeo games and it doesn't work.

        That's your choice, i was playing neogeo at full speed on my rpi1 with libretro-fbalpha so the rpi0 should be able to handle it too. I never saw much interest in using pifba on rpi1 except for playing cps2 games (and i suspect it is not even necessary anymore on rpi0 where the clock is at 1Ghz).

          Deleting the entry from romlist xml file should do the trick, if you set Emulationstation to show up only games listed in romlist file (just a check in main menu only)

            Strange... I was not getting a good framerate on a Pi Zero with libretro. I've got it overclocked to 1Ghz. I've also got a heatsink and it's not even in an enclosure.

            Sweet. Another method that I wasn't even aware of. This tip could come in handy for all sorts of other things. Thanks. :)

              Be aware, if you scrape.

                I'm making everything from scratch man. You should check out my threads on the progress being made. Going to be sweet when I start putting this stuff out there. :)

                  To my knowledge fba should look to bios folder, so the bios file on rom folder should be useless, i'm pretty sure i was able to run Neo Geo roms without it.

                      @darishzone it reads both.

                      So it is recommended to keep file bios on rom folder?

                        @darishzone i mean, it reads both, so use what you want. if it's in the BIOS folder it won't appear in your gamelist, so that's an advantage. personally i don't care about that - all that stuff will be hidden automatically soon enough.

                        i should say this is lr-fbalpha we're talking about (now).

                          That's the part I think a few might remain unclear on. My OP was regarding the non-libretro FBA which does not ignore the NeoGeo BIOS, and will not look in the BIOS folder for it... at least currently. :)
