      @mitu Thanks for clarification, but why aren't my neogeo pocket roms visible?

      You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

        @Unknown Do the ROM files have the right extension, as described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Neo-Geo-Pocket/ ?

          @mitu They are in the correct folder , and they are ".bin" files. I haven't messed with any retropie configuration, so I'm not sure what is wrong.

            Well, I did install some NDS emulators from the experimental, but I kept them at default settings.

              @Unknown You really need to click on those doc links and read on.

                @Unknown It is in the docs... the docs show that .bin is not valid.

                .7z
                .ngp
                .zip

                are readable formats for NGP and NGPC files. Also I don't believe you can just zip up your bins and expect them to work.

                Growing older is mandatory. Growing up is optional!

                  @mitu @ClassicGMR Changing ".bin" to ".ngp" fixed the problem. Thank you, I apologize for not checking to see I my roms were named correctly .

                    Glad you got it working. Just remember, when in doubt, RTFM almost always fixes the issue. :)

                      @mitu Will zipping up these files disable them? I want to save memory space.

                        @Unknown It will not disable them, the emulator can read both zip and 7z compressed files. If you have scraped the games already you could run into a problem with emulationstation looking for whatever-your-game-is-named.ngp instead of whatever-your-game-is-named.zip (or .7z) which can be solved by rescraping or editing the gamelist.xml for neo geo pocket.

                        [edit: realized I worded the first sentence very poorly...]
