      So i just bought a raspberry pi 3 model B installed retropie on a sd card everything went well but when i transfered my roms through an usb drive they wouldnt work. The mame emulator shows up and the game but when i try to open it it just goes back to the emulator. My snes games are working fine so i know im doing everytging right. Is there someting i need to do besides just puting the roms into the mame folder?[link text](![link url](image url))

            @s1naloa10 NEOGEO needs NEOGEO BIOS Files for the emulator to run your games, you should have a folder called BIOS, they go in that folder, cant give links to where to get the files from though because its not allowed here. but you should have a ROMS folder and a BIOS folder, snes, nintendo, sega genesis and megadrive and a couple other emulators and dont need BIOS files but NEOGEO needs them and I believe MAME needs them.

              @s1naloa10 that answer is incorrect. It is very unlikely you need bios files for your Mame roms rather you need the correct romset. This is all very clearly detailed in the documentation.

              I suggest you give the docs a read and you'll find your questions will be answered.

              If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
