NeoGeo - Pochi and Nyaa (not launching)

retrotarta

Hi everyone , I've managed to get the NeoGeo emulator to work with all my other 142 games, but not with this one. I've downloaded several different roms just in case but it still wouldn't work. I've got it to work in the "Arcade" folder emulating with MAME 2010 but I'd much rather have it in the NeoGeo collection.

Any advice? Many thanks in advance.

EDIT: it's working now after installing lr-fbalpha2012 and trying to run the rom with it.

Just out of curiosity, does this game not run on lr-fbneo?

i just download it and check it with fbneo.
it works.
wow nice game did not have it in my collection.

@kounabi22 Can I ask how you've done it or which rom you've downloaded?

Best regards.

No, the only problem here is that you are ignoring documentation.

@retrotarta

you must find the correct rom from fbneo i believe romset of mame 0.266 and above will do.

@barbudreadmon I'm sorry this bothered you, there's no need for the snarky comment though. I did look at all that before posting the question, and actually managed to get the emulator to work with all other 142 roms, but I'm far from an expert in all this and I must have overlooked/not understand something.

note in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Neo-Geo/ :

There are a variety of arcade emulators available in RetroPie which can emulate Neo Geo games. There are significant differences in performance, compatibility, and configuration between them. If you're getting started with arcade emulation, start by reading Arcade.

the arcade page should explain why this approach didn't work:

I've downloaded several different roms just in case but it still wouldn't work.

only one rom works. the rom within the romset version of the emulator you are using. search for the romset version, not the rom.

The documentation states that an arcade romset has to match the arcade emulator and its version. You are using the wrong romset(s) for the emulator and its version.

Thanks for your replies, I'll look into this more carefully when I get the chance.
