You're using mameUI's audit?  It's not the best.  Clrmamepro (http://www.clrmame.com/) is a lot better at knowing what's missing, and can fix it if you have the ROMs.  What's the exact error?

However, bubble bobble has four ROMs (actually PALs, but just think "ROM") that are not dumped yet in the parent set.  Which set (of the eight) are you trying to play?  Have you looked at MAWS list of ROMs needed for each game, and which set (aka zip file) they are in.

Do any of the neogeo games show?  If not, I bet your neogeo bios set is not complete, but has all the ROMs mslug needs to run with your mame bios setting.

i have only put ms 1-5 on , and none show but play when selected, i couldt get any to work at 1st till i got another bios file with the jap bios in it.

ive downloaded about 5 files for bubble bobble, i tryed to play bublbobl, bootleg with 68705, bublbob1,bublbobr and  same with mode select.

i will give clrmamepro a go

Yup, sounds like you don't have all the regions.  You can play the regions you do have, but you can't play the ones you don't have, so it's not complete, and mameUI treats as such.

Clrmamepro it's the easiest to pick up and start using; just ask if you can't understand something.
