      @rbaker I put the neogeo games I downloaded in the neogeo folder on my phone stick that goes into the retropie then once it's done loading I put I go to neogeo click on the game the game goes to a screen if sometimes shows a yellow loading bar first for a minute and then goes to a black screen and then goes to back to the game list I have left the games that I have read and watch videos where they say take your neogeozip file put it in BIOS okay I've seen the file folder but I don't know how to get the BIOS and do I need a bio for each and every game or is there one bio that will run majority of the games if it's too much trouble forget this whole conversation I have read everything that I possibly can I understand it is a learning computer but there comes to a point where you ask for help if there's anything I missed in this paragraph let me know and I'll try to answer that one as well again I am sorry for asking 20001 time

        @Corykrist1 I think you should Google neogeo.zip. And, whilst you're on Google, search for how to use punctuation. Your posts hurt me.

          I guess I should ask where do I find d bios for the neogeo roms I downloaded so I can put it in the bio folder... I'm hoping I asked the right question

              @Corykrist1 said in Neogeo question SORRY!!!!:

              Are you for real? You say you read but clearly you tell lies. In my last post I already pointed out very clearly "You must read the forum rules before you continue asking further questions as this is a breach of the rules. For legal reasons, you must not ask for links to roms. You agreed to read these pages when you signed up." and now 30 mins after I tell you this, you ask where the neogeo bios can be obtained again?!??? Yes again.... and then follow it up with

              I'm hoping I asked the right question

              SO there is proof that you do not read the rules and my previous posts

              if it's too much trouble forget this whole conversation

              You are probably right to suggest this because you do not do what you are advised to do. Fact. converstion forgotten. What was you question again?

                @rbaker I think it was something about neo geo, though the lack of commas and or full stops made my eyes melt inwards.

                  Iirc, the loading bar means you are using pifba.
                  You have to put both neogeo.zip and roms in the neogeo folder.
                  To get roms, google is your friend.
                  You'll probably get many bad roms (resulting in your black screen for 20s before going back to list) because pifba is an old emulator which use old rom dumps (clrmamepro + retropie's wiki could help you but it seems you don't have the needed skills...).
                  I hope you built a handheld or something with your pi0, because if you didn't, you did something really stupid in not buying a pi3 (a pi3 is WAY BETTER than a pi0 : it's a lot faster so you can run recent neogeo emulator with recent roms which are easier to find).

                    retropie's wiki could help you but it seems you don't have the needed skills.

                    Reading and writing skills are enough. By reading I mean understanding what the sentences mean. Not only matching the letters and knowing how they sound. If you read something that you can't understand because you're not familiar with computers, then you should use all your writing skill and ask exactly about the part you didn't understand.

                        You're using the wrong romset. With MAME/NeoGeo/Arcade it's different compared to other systems. Lets say the roms have a version which is called romset, each emulator supports a version of the roms.

                        Just take a look at the following page:

                        https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

                        You see the name of the emulator and which romset (version of the roms) it supports. Now lets say, you can convert them to other versions. You can do this with clrmamepro. The tutorial is right on that page on the link above. There is a video tutorial on the page, just follow along and you'll get it. I know it looks confusing but if you do it its pretty easy and simple.

                        Oh almost forgot. if you want to play neogeo games you need the NeoGeo bios files. Just use Google for this, we're not allowed to post links containing illegal files. But the first result in Google has the file. Put this file in the rom folder.

                        So lets say you're going to use the FBA emulator, you need to put the roms inside the FBA Roms folder, in this folder you also need to add the neogeo.zip (bios files). Oh and you never unzip MAME roms. They always need to be in a .ZIP file.

                        It's not that hard at all. The only thing I hated was the long upload time when I uploaded the entire romset to the Pi lol.
