Trouble with NeoGeo and MAME + Mala

[Rulkiewicz]

I'm able to see the full proper name of all NeoGeo games under my Mame/Arcade eumlator system. But what I tried to do it take all of the Neogeo roms and place them in their own folder, with their own version of mame, and give it its own "emulator" page in Mala. I am currently getting two errors:

Problem #1. When I have the "NeoGeo" emulator point to the mame.exe in the NeoGeo folder, I get an error stating I'm missing files.  However, when I adjust the mala settings and tell it that the emulator .exe file is in the Mame directory, everything works fine.

Problem #2. Since I've added a new emulator tab and pointed the roms to Neogeo/roms; the only names that show up in the Mala list are the short handed rom names.  What's odd is that under the "Mame" emulator tab, the NeoGeo names show up properly.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks to RomLister, I fixed issue #2.  Any idea on issue #1?

Problem # 1 could be that you need the Neogeo.zip file, witch is a system file. Else  the thing could be that  you need to make a new Mame folder and edit the mame ini file to have the right pointer to the roms : CORE SEARCH PATH OPTIONS -      rompath  : C:XXX/XXX/  (X= your folders names)      
Still this gives no full game names in the Mala list.


Problem #2  You allready ask about this once.  The answer is the same.
