hey i cant get any neo geo roms to work on my mame emulator.. i'm running .0135 command line version and using mala as a front end.. i downloaded at least 3 versions of the neo geo bios( in case i had a bad download).. no i didnt extract it.. it's sitting in the rom folder ive updated the rom folder.. i'm getting nowhere.. every single neo geo rom will not work.. i even tried downloading neo rage x and configuring mala to run that but its not a command line edition so i guess that won't work.. anyone have ideas?? oh also in mame 32 i tested aero fighters and it worked perfectly... so its not the roms...

do you have the right roms for the version of mame you are running? when mame updates, often the roms are redumped and you'll need these newer versions.
what happens exactly when you select a rom to play?

it just won't start and says files are missing.. but the thing is its every neo geo rom not just some.. the best workaround i can think of running neocps instead and just making a rom list for that in mala that is all the neo geo stuff

Get the name of one of the files that it says is missing, then search for it on google. that will probably point you to one of those sites that tells you when that file started getting used (as in what mame version) and you may also find out that there was an updated bios package that came out after the stuff you've been downloading. you can either keep searching for the files you need, or even take a step backward in MAME.

1. probably missing your NEO-GEO BIOS file (neogeo.zip) if ALL YOUR NEO GEO games don't work.
2. You probably go the wrong Bios File.
3. You also need the Game ROM along with the Bios File
4. Path is wrong
5. You need a ROM manager like Clrmame pro to check/fix your ROMS
6. Check MAWS for a list of the filenames your missing.
