OK I managed to find a 1.0.0 FB Neo romset, updated FB Neo from source in retropie. As you said my romset is not 100% exact match with the current DAT from github but a lot of the missing or incorrect roms are Hacks, or homebrews etc. I don't really care about them. Works very well for now :)

@peppe_h

Run this from any platform folder on the RetroPie:

cat gamelist.xml | grep '<name>' | cut -d '>' -f2 | cut -d '<' -f1 > titles.txt

It will export all titles to titles.txt

@mrnoholster yes. just launch the other version. note, if you're using a split romset you will need to include the parent rom (typically the one without a revision in the file name) in the same directory for dependencies to be met. if you're using a non-merged romset it won't matter - each rom is standalone and should launch.

any problems please fill out https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first including verbose log

@zodiark12 here's the sha1 and crc checks 2003+ is expecting. https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/blob/f7e53fda8195ae9d9a2b33c1dbed27e7410a41ff/src/drivers/neogeo.c#L1574-L1589

You can compare the ones you have to these and double check your naming conversation. Make sure you done have ".rom.rom" or something like that either. Some desktops hide extensions. My guess is the check sum is off here for it not to include the file.

@ericmartin this pretty much only applies to mame and FBNeo. Arcade games mostly. Those 2 have a sort of database that knows what version of rom that it needs to run. Older roms may have been dumped with mild bugs, that may or may not run 100%. Over time, games have been dumped using better Methods and the arcade emulators update their code to only run the better dump and abandon the old.
if you are trying to use other emulators, like Nintendo, sega, etc. they don’t have any checks. You don’t have to worry about romsets there. They will just try to run whatever it is given. Good dump, bad dump, doesn’t matter. Bugs and all.

@Zodiark12 said in FBNeo Set missing samples?:

this seems to be for 1.0.0.0 while I'm using the set 0.2.97.44.

they didn't change for months, maybe years, so that won't be a problem

@CaptainSuperman
Enjoy :)

there is also another one cant find it...

In RetroPie, the NeoGeo system is separate, so you can copy the NeoGeo romset collection to the neogeo folder and the arcade only romset to arcade.
You can combine them if you want, but you might want to keep neogeo separate just in case you'd want a different configuration applied to it (see this post for an example of why you'd want that).

@Rion Thanks. I used your files. Really useful. Especially the multi bat is very useful in my setup.
I was toying around yesterday with clrmame and romcenter to organise a 0.78 file, but I found it quite hard for a noob. Your files do help a lot !

Pifba hasn't changed. Did you maybe switch emulator?

Thanks :)

I updated https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19741/goodbye-fbalpha-welcome-fbneo with informations that could be useful

@barbudreadmon - I've grabbed the new DATs and see the information. Thanks a lot for adding it! I find it a very useful quick reference if a game has a working status. Much appreciated! :)

Sorry for pinging you all, but I wanted to make you all aware that I missed two erotic games.

The games in question are Bubble 2000 (bubl2000) and Pang Pang (pangpang).

Sorry for missing them: especially so if any of you have children. Thank Malachiel from our Discord server for informing me about those two games. If any of you have found any games in the erotic, casino, mahjong, or quiz genres, then please let me know: especially so when it comes to the erotic ones.

The 001, 002 etc extensions means that they are sequential parts of the same compressed file. Try opening the 001 file with 7Zip, or something else that reads 7Z files.

@pllaguno said in multirom .7z:

is there a way to select which one to open? or do i have to get into each one of them and erase the ones i don't like?

You'll need to weed through them yourself.

@hurkgt18 No, see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-Entertainment-System/
