Issue loading Ms. Pacman / Galaga 20th Anniversary rom

Hey everyone. I'm having an issue with the Ms. Pac-Man / Galaga Reunion rom on my RetroPie setup. I believe I have all required namco bios files. The rom says it's loading, but then just goes back to the menu. My install of retropie is brand new and running version 4.5.1 on a raspberry pi 3. I've tried different roms files and switching the emulator it uses, but nothing really seems to work. Any ideas?

You'll need the right ROMset collection for the arcade emulator you're using, instead of trying out various ROMs you find - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Arcade/

ohhh ok. I didn't realize that each emulator had to have a certain romset. My bad! I'm having trouble finding a romset that supports mame2003 with that rom in it..

@htucker - They introduced 20pacgal around MAME 0.111. Most of the emulators are to old for it to be part of the ROM set, except for mame2010 or newer. AdvMAME falls just short at 0.106. :(

It does work with fbneo.

@mitu - Hey, that's nice, many thanks for the tip! I'll be adding it to my FBNeo list. Sometimes I miss those numbered ROM's at the beginning of the list as 3countb comes before 20pacgal for example, thinking it's not in the list. Computers and their sorts! :)
