Thanks for your replies, I'll look into this more carefully when I get the chance.

@dankcushions luckily i found the bios needed thanks

@cnoto Cool! I did something similar with the speakers in my cabinet, but I think yours turned out even better. The speaker covers were a good choice.

There are actually several MAME roms that are essentially video pinball machines. The coolest thing about them compared to console or PC pinball titles is that they actually prompt for coins (like any other arcade game) and keep real high-score lists (also like most other arcade games). Some are better than others, FYI. Time Scanner is pretty good, as is Pinball Action, Speed Ball and Grand Cross (which is really unique).

@mitu Yes for PS3 Controllers. I'll update, thanks for reminder.

I face indeed the same issue, i recently started using my Pi3B+ again to make a Sega only system, and after a clean install, FBNEO performs really poorly. compared to the FBALPHA it used to run before i stopped using that Pi.
In any event I'll try the suggestions here, and also have a look which version is included by default before i update it.

@darksavior said in Neogeo games won't run:

I'm not sure why someone that has no idea how roms work would make a tutorial about it

To make money... and as you said, this guy probably doesn't understand what he is doing, he is only succeeding by sheer luck...

@soren several issues with that video :

it's outdated, FBAlpha is now FBNeo it doesn't cover the most important aspect of arcade emulation : romset validation

@mortalwombat i think i would be incline to agree with @mitu that it’s likely an internal button that doesn’t communicate with the OS. my point is that you don’t really need another button for retropie.

@mitu said in It's possible to integrate Samurai Showdown Perfect in Retropie?:

EDIT: samsh5fe titlescreen is still 'Samurai Showdown V Special', maybe it's not the 'perfect edition'.

Fullname of samsh5fe is "Samurai Shodown V Special (Final Edition, location test version)", it is indeed what some people refer to as "Perfect Edition". The word "Perfect" feels kinda counterfeit though, afaik they simply removed some gameplay elements from "Samurai Shodown V Special" (probably making the game more casual in the process) to make room for a story mode.

Except if you are using a non-merged romset, you'll probably need its parent samsh5sp.

@fcibx6r1un said in It's possible to integrate Samurai Showdown Perfect in Retropie?:

From what I understand the "Perfect" edition of the game is an emulator that runs the "Special" edition, and overlays it with new content. It isn't a self-contained ROM.

To be more precise, the commercial emulator from "Samurai Shodown Collection" uses some quirks to replace the title screen and to add an english translation to the story mode. FBNeo use the raw romset and doesn't have any of those quirks.

There's a setting called "Parse Gamelists Only" in the Emulation Station menu (I don't remember where exactly right now, just bring up the menu and poke around) that would do what you're describing.

thx.... hope this information helps:

Pi Model or other hardware: Raspi 4
RetroPie Version Used: 4.7
Controller used: Xin-Mo
fbneo_libretro

@g30ff Fair point. I wasn't sure how high I could go with MAME before it would hit the CPU limits. I'll switch to 2016 and see how it goes. Thanks!

@Zering said in Neogeo - Problems - Hours wasted.:

Your bios is all wrong for neocd, you should have a neocd.zip and a neocdz.zip and they should not be in a separate folder. I'll have to check later but they should be in your BIOS directory.

No, as i said, you are trying to launch games for 1 system (neogeo pocket games) with an emulator for another system (lr-neocd, which emulates neogeo cd) while using the bios for a third system (neogeo mvs/aes). You need to decide on 1 system.

If it's for your father, you can never go wrong with neogeo aes/mvs, which was the dream console for anyone from my generation. Neogeo cd was the "cheap" version of that console, and while emulation cancel its main drawback (loading time), the graphics are still inferior to the mvs/aes and the games use more storage, so i don't recommend it. Neogeo pocket was a handheld, and a niche one.

Documentation about neogeo emulation is there : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Neo-Geo/ . You'll have to read all of it and the linked documentation specific to the emulator you'll chose, otherwise i think you can give up on neogeo emulation.

@Zering
yep
asked help there
thanks :)

@UberLumby seems like the usual incomplete neogeo.zip issue

@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

Hello, I get an error saying that there is npt config for neogeo_cd what should I do?

@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. =)
