you probably need a mame `neogeo.zip` put in `~/games/MAME`

the `neogeo.zip` from winkawaks won`t work neither

_alien vs pradator_ is a **CPS** game, not **neogeo**. So no need of _neogeo.zip_ here.

I personally use fbneo\_libretro.so for **CPS**

Get fba\_neo [here](http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/fbneo_libretro.so.zip)

Put it in _/home/cpi/apps/emulators/_

_Take this as an example :_

In _/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20\_Retro Games_ create a _CPS_ folder.

In the new CPS folder, create an _action.config_ file.

```
ROM=/home/cpi/games/CPS
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/fba_neo.so
EXT=zip
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L
TITLE=CPS Roms
SO_URL=http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/fbneo_libretro.so.zip

```
