      @Ecks First consult the wiki, there is a detailed explanation on how to setup arcade games:
      https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade

      Besides that, the most common problem is your romset doesn't match the version of the emulator you are using.

        Chances are they are trying to be run using MAME 2003. You instead would want Final Burn Alpha as your emulator of choice for CPS games, as they typical run better or even at all.

        Assuming you have all your CPS ROMs under the Arcade folder...

        1. Load your CPS ROM normally.
        2. Configure your loading options right after the splash screen appears.
        3. Select the second option named Select Emulator for ROM.
        4. Select lr-fbalpha.
        5. Exit out and select Launch.

        This option also works for NeoGeo ROMs. To really make it simple, just put all your CPS and NeoGeo ROMs in your FBA folder.

        Hope this helps!

            By default it is lr-fbalpha and also all of my Neo Geo and CPS roms are in the FBA folder that much i know cause back in the days i used that emulator a lot (Windows XP days) and also want to know do i get the clones to the sets as well for it to work?

                    Please read the link that was posted a few lines up. Get the correct romset to the emulator you want to use. I prefer fba.

                      I prefer to use FBA as well, try use the latest FBA romset (v0.2.97.40). When you got that right , make sure you included the parent rom (normally the file size are bigger compare with clone rom)
