      Hi, I need help on how to get IGS Polygame Master games working under Retropie 4.5.1?
      I do have the game ROMs but I do not know where to put the PGM.ZIP BIOS file....

        @SolidHP into the rom folder of either FBNeo or Mame relating which emulator you are using for the PGM roms.

          @sirhenrythe5th I got it working now, thanks a lot for your help! Now I have 3 files in the FBA ROM folder: dmnfrnt.zip, dmnfrntpcb.zip, pgm.zip
          One quick question, can I combine both ROM files into one single ZIP file? Looks like both ROM files must be present to get the game running. Or can I hide the file that cannot be executed (dmnfrnt.zip and pgm.zip) under FBA UI?

            The parent rom dmnfrnt.zip and the pgm bios are all you will require for Demon Front you dont need to keep dmnfrntpcb.zip, i dont think you can hide certain games or bios
            from the FBN romlist, however if space is not an issue and you dont want pgm.zip showing up in your romlist you can create merged sets, so you'll end up with one
            parent version of every pgm game you have which will also include all the bios files doing away with the need for pgm.zip to be included in your roms folder.

              @arcadez2003 It is strange that mine only the pcb version loads and if I delete dmnfrnt.zip, the game will not load at all. In other word, all three files must be in the same ROM folder (dmnfrnt.zip, dmnfrntpcb.zip and pgm.zip), nothing less or the game will not run.

              By the way, how do I merge the pgm.zip BIOS with the game rom? Zip all together and name it dmnfrnt.zip?

                There is nothing strange, just a bad dmnfrnt parent romset, and as a clone dmnfrntpcb will pick a few files (not the wrong/missing ones it seems) from its parent so removing the parent is ill advised.
                Maybe it's time to follow the rules and read the arcade documentation...
