      Pi3B, RetroPie 3.7, Emulator - Neo Geo

      I have about 20 games working in the directory but the 3 mentioned in the title don't start, as soon as the setting dialog window closes they crash back to the games list. I have tried at least 6 different Pulstar roms (all different sizes) from different sources. I have tried a few different neogeo.zip bios files and confirmed the contents from Gits help page. lr-fba-next works the best for me but I have tried all the options without success. With GnGeo-Pi I get a 1/2 second flash of what may be a start screen but it crashes back just like the rest as well. Anyone have any ideas where to look now?

        @opensourcefan Sounds like you have the wrong FBA roms. Google is your friend.

          Okay so I guess I needed to learn that I can't use actual Neo Geo roms, I have to use the FBA versions. I thought they were two different things. So the other 20 roms that are working I guess I was just lucky? Should they be replaced anyway with there FBA counterparts?

            @opensourcefan If they are working I'd say leave them.
