FBNeo DATs - no clones, only working & Neo Geo only

[pamput]

Reply to myself and anyone that would experience my same issue. I was scanning a split collection, not a non merged one. You first need to convert it to non merged (google is your friend) and then scan the resulting output. After merging my romset using the dat files provided by @matchaman everything ended in a happy ending.

Thank you very much for creating these .dat files. I've been researching for days on how to assemble and filter a romset by removing the clone roms but the information is scarse and sparse. I downloaded an FBNeo romset with thousands of roms but hundreds of games are variations. Honestly, who wants a romset full of clone games with stupid modifications? The only thing that would be missing here is a tutorial on how to use this .dat file. I used it with Clrmame following other tutorials and i believe i managed to do it correctly. The .dat file "fbneo-noclones" resulted in 1946 games, including NeoGeo games. I hope you can keep these .dat files up to date for future new FBNeo romsets. I know this topic is old but it deserves to be highlighted, it should be fixed.

Hi guys

I know this is an old topic but does anyone still have the no clone dats for fbneo? The original link isn't working.

Cheers

Fixed with a few old cores as a bonus :)

@matchaman Thank you for the work! I matched all the neogeo roms from the full dat and the neogeo dat, finding a difference of 1 rom (158 vs 159)...but i realized that was only the bios file "neocdz"! Thank you very much!

Does this work with the newly released (November 2020) FB Neo v1.0.0.0 (Torrentzipped Split) romset???

@dankcushions Well a little bit up the OP said he had updated it back in April this year?

This is what i got using the No Clone Arcade Only dat.

Does that look about right?

I have a total of 1946 games in the folder
