@Arrafart
Oh I found them, just annoyed someone slightly renamed them.

Same file, same check sum but say one's name was "R 243.BIN" and the official name is "REV 243.BIN"
So I renamed them to the proper name, working perfectly!

Would it have worked if I didn't?
Like someone put a ! on one to say it's the genuine thing, but the official name didn't have the !

@Jiryn
i am using the awesome lr-FBNEO Emulator, which is installed by default, for NEOGEO and most of the arcade-roms.
As a second option i use lr-MAME (current) for those few roms, that FBNEO does not support and i wish to have.

The DIP-Switches can be accessed by a Key-Combo that you can define in Retroarch/Core-Options.
AFAIR this option is called "diagnostic key" and the default input is "holding START-Button" (during gameplay/rom running).

Retroachievements are the cream on the cake imo!
Similar to Playstation-Trophys or XBOX-Achievements, just better (great widgets, leaderboards for all kind of stuff...)
Concerning Arcade-Achievements: only lr-FBNEO is supported, another point for this masterpiece.
As far as you want to play for achievements: keep your fingers away from the DIP-Switches as only default settings are supported (which is more than fair)
Fo further information just have a look here:

@barbudreadmon Thank you but no need. The games I needed to run are all working perfectly under lr-fbneo-neocd after merging the bin files with CDMage. Thank you again, I really appreciate the help.

@g30ff I am using LR-FLYCAST already so thank you. And deleting the vram files did the job! It's still a bit choppy, but still plays ok. Thank you both!

@lostless ok thankyou will investigate the new power supply! Thankyou for your help. @ruckage that modded neo geo looks superb! Exactly what I would like to do but fear I lack the skills. How did it all turn out in the end, am interested to know.

@mitu Listen before you told me that and I cliked on that there was no edit option, now there is and it is doing absolutely nothing. If you want to delete my entire post go for it. I'll find help elsewhere. Thanks

@lazaruz A pi4 is faster to handle the more accurate emulators but it also makes some new games playable. Taito F3 games are now full speed. You can play sega system16/18 games on fbneo without slowdown so I don't need to deal with mame2003's buggy bootlegs. You can use mame2010 or 2016 for bug-free system32 games like golden axe 2 and spiderman. 3d games like tekken, etc are still unplayable. If you can run your favorite games in fbneo now then there's no point using a pi4.

@Unknown I made the same mistake when I first started looking into building my first Retropie then remembered that the NeoGeo home console (AES) was essentially the same hardware as the arcade unit (MVS) but could only have one cartridge as opposed to the up to six cartridges of the cabinet.

@arcanthur loop Thanks for your great effort. Could you share me your scraped image and bezel? My image does not fit a grid entirely.

so nice!! I cant wait to see it finished and hope you will share it then too! So far I have tweaked a neogeo theme from here from ruckage but I think i much prefer this style to go with the aes (i think the red with white stripes mvs is more suited for the arcade machine)

I will keep an eye out on this, love it so far!

@barbudreadmon yeah, think you are right, it was just a thought i had whilst planning what i needed to buy. will go for a 3bplus as at least i already have very good images so it should be an easy install

This is what i got using the No Clone Arcade Only dat.

Does that look about right?

I have a total of 1946 games in the folder

@mitu

Thank mitu for your response, I have got an account, I don't know were to post the missing images.

But all of a sudden my missing image has appeared after continue attempts since yesterday of scraping the same game over and over.

"This grid screen" … is there a picture meant to be? Because I don't see one.

However, please provide the information that is requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@dobi13 I believe it's a recreation.

@darishzone No worries. :)

@clyde That's alright.

I do want to do the soft links again for another ROM related project in the future. So I would love to remove that copying and pasting step. The project would be simply to make a separate system for GB and GBC games that have two player game link support between two identical games with, obviously, lr-tgbdual as the emulator. Of course, this being GB and GBC, the identical copies wouldn't be as bad space-wise as Neo Geo was.
