Trying to run Windjammers (NeoGeo) on FBA

[joeyperoni]

Hi Guys,

first post, your forum has been an amazing fountain of knowledge to get my pi3 started up and running.

I'm having trouble getting one of my all time favorite games to work on neo geo -

Windjammers/ Flying Power Disc

Using pi3 v 4.0.2
my Rom should be (0.2.97.38 based on .173)
loaded the rom into the FBA rom folder and NEO Geo (pifba)
copied Neogeo.zip BIOS file into the game directory and left a copy in the BIOS file
checked the compatible roms list and it says that it should work in FBA on pi3

I have downloaded clrmamepro and have got familiar with it if i need to change my game file.

could any other NEO GEO user please let me know what I am missing here?

Cheers,
Joe

If you are using that romset you should be using lr-fba-next as your emulator, not pifba

Thanks for the reply..

Since posting have solved my own problem and have the game working.

I was using a USB stick for my roms,

When I first started my retropie I was using incompatible rom sets, as I deleted them and replaced them with newer rom sets I feel maybe the SD card was re-copying the old wjammers rom file rather than replacing it with the newer and correct file

Frustrating...! But I hope this helps someone,

if anyone could shed some light on how to stop SD card re-copying unwanted files onto USB Would be much appreciated
