Neo Geo ( lr-fbalpha) not running roms it's supposed to?

snackycactus

Hi! I'm pretty new to RetroPie and all this, and I'm having a strange issue.

I've got RetroPie all set up, and can play many games on it successfully across many systems. NEO GEO is giving me issues though- some games like Metal Slug work just fine, but others (that are supposed to be completely compatible with lr-fbalpha) are closing on me when I try to open then.

Here are some roms that aren't working for me:
Waku Waku 7
Fatal Fury 3
King of Fighters 98
Garou - Mark of the Wolves
King of Fighters 2002
(the list goes on).

Anyone have any Ideas on what could be the problem?

I'm on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, and am running v4.1 of RetroPie (newest version)

When you buy something and don't know how it works, you call the maker first ? You never read the manual or search answers on forums ?
Yes, i'm rude, because answering this question almost everyday is seriously annoying : https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Managing-ROMs

@snackycactus you're not using the right romset for lr-fbalpha https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/FinalBurn-Alpha#lr-fbalpha

Thank you so much- I'm sorry that I didn't see that read me. (My retropie is primarily a SNES machine for me, so I never really imagined that MAME would function so differently.)
