@AndersHP Well, "in the hunt" is not a neogeo game, but whatever. With you not mentioning at all the emulators you are using, i have a hard time making sense of your issue tbh (are you even using libretro/retroarch cores for those systems ? i would expect the standalone amiberry to be the recommended amiga emulator, and the mame libretro cores to not allow disabling raster irq this way). Or are you saying you are playing neogeo on amiga ? Is there a neogeo emulator on amiga ? Why would it run an irem m92 game though ? O_o

You can also batch-create chds out of cue/bin files directly in Retropie or any Linux with the package mame-tools. To quote myself: @Clyde said in PS1 - Possible to just list game in the menu and not the additional files?: The easiest way to create CHDs on your Pi would be to drop to Retropie's command console by pressing F4 and then enter the following commands: sudo apt install mame-tools # install mame-tools (no danger if it's already installed) cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx # (c)hange (d)irectory to roms/psx for i in *.cue; do chdman createcd -i "$i" -o "${i%.*}.chd"; done # batch convert any cue+bin files to chds (Everything behind a # ist just a comment.) The exit command restarts Emulation Station.

@sirhenrythe5th said in Totally confused with MAME: I also prefer FB-Neo for NeoGeo NeoGeo is one of the few systems where FBNeo has an edge even against current MAME (let alone a 17 years old version of MAME), so yeah, i recommend it.

@sirhenrythe5th said in NEO-GEO Shoot 'em up - Help Me Remember: Alpha Mission 2 This is definitely it. Also happens to be my absolute favorite Neo-Geo game. =)

Thanks mate 😊

@RpiBeginner feels like a defective sd card for me

with a CRT display there's a certain amount of image retention which makes these fast flickering shadows appear just as transparent grey, with the floor visible underneath. i thought there's shaders out there that fake the same effect for modern screens, but i can't find them...

@mitu said in NeoGeo not RUN lr-fbneo and any emulators: have that BIOS file Yes. Old bios not work. My friend resent me bios and him work. Thank you. IDK why old bios not work.

@barbudreadmon Yeah, it was the principality of it, saving and loading game specific options in a global config. I think I could not get either the macros or cabinet settings to work this way, rendering them beyond completely pointless. I think the actual cabinet settings for the retroarch core are saved in /roms/neogeo/FBA/ along with high score, and I don't know what was up with the macros.

@mitu ok i dont have anything different with the neogeo core other then the overlay. so adding the line to disable override is going to work for me. but still knowing a different way is good to know just in case

@rafioso24 There's no asking/sharing copyrighted material in the forums - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2/forum-rules.

Tried it for some days now, seems to work! Thank your very much barbudreadmon!!!

@Thorr69 said in The Neo Geo emulator does not find the bios: @Rubencn1234 Put it in the same directory as the roms. If you put it in the BIOS directory, it doesn't seem to find it. I had to put it in the roms directory (with the correct name) in order for it to work. Which emulator are you using? FBA works fine without "neogeo.zip" in the roms folder. I have it just in the BIOS folder. @Rubencn1234 Check to make sure you have the right BIOS file. neogeo.zip needs to be ~1.5 MB and CRC-32 should be 20F12195

So far I did not explicitly test the GamepadBlock with a Neogeo controller. Can you post a link to the controller that you have? Looking at the pin out at http://old.pinouts.ru/Game/NeoGeoJoystick_pinout.shtml the integration of Neogeo support should be quite easy.

@box4me Btw, is this your site ? Are you by any chance selling RetroPie with arcade cabinets ? Are you also including ROMs with your cabinets ?

Ok so I took a copy and then updated lr-fbalpha and it works with the neogeo.zip in the BIOS directory :)

thank you. I did not change any video modes via run command. Not even sure how to do this? I know during emulation you can make changes but I can't see the options because the screen is so zoomed in I can only see the first few options. Same for changing emulators but I may be wrong with that as well. I may need to switch emulators but I'm not 100% how to do this through the CLI / config menu's ATM. I'm going to take a stab at that too. Update: I was already using lr-fbalpha (NEOGEO), and tried switching to pifba but got a black screen no sound no nothing (so worse). Thinking I can update the emulator software and have better results? worth a try. OK I tried editing the config.txt and it didn't make a difference in the menu or the emulation. here is the current config.txt # For more options and information see # http://rpf.io/configtxtreadme # Some settings may impact device functionality.

@Cook1e_mr said in Why separate Neo Geo system from Arcade?: OK checked and this is my problem, the BIOS is within the ROM archive, need to work out how to remove that easily now. Remove the bios from the game roms? One relatively easy way is to rebuild the romset as "non-merged" with Clrmame and the option "Separate BIOS Sets" turned ON in the scanner and the rebuilder.

@xwons said in Trying to organize my arcade rom library. There's so much information that I'm lost.: Apart from that, if I want to trim my collection (eliminating clones and duplicates) I found a tool called RomLister (https://www.waste.org/~winkles/ROMLister/) but it starts by asking me a xml file and I have no idea where to get it. Validating, Rebuilding, and Filtering ROM Collections in the Retropie Docs explains a lot of this and more.
