Weird I have yet to download a rom set that didn’t have it tucked in there somewhere has to tell the rom to work as AES or MVS both had different menu options and one works with lives one with coins.
do i need a bios for mame? how do i tell which romset is for raiden fighter? some roms have " [MAME 0.139U1 ]" listed but some only say mame
whatever core your using… just google “[insert core here] romset”
it should atleast give you a number (like 0.78) so you know what set to get the roms from.
I downloaded the 0.78 romset from archive.org and it has a plethora of NEOGEO titles that work.
I AM NOT LINKING TO A ROM OR A PIRATED/UNAUTHORIZED COPY OF ANYTHING.
I just realized how this probably looks lol

Feels bad, I’m guessing romsets are something special? I really just want to play these 3 raiden fighter games. Guess I’ll have to find sets that have them for .78. I only found 1.39u ROMs for raiden fighter 
the first day i use this clockwork pi. your need put a neogeo.zip with your rom in the same path.
how’d you get mame games to full screen like that?
I think that Windjammer is a Neo Geo game. The Neo Geo games are usually full screen, at least it has been for me. However, there are quite a few Mame arcade games that could benefit from a 4:3 screen ratio. I think the .3 version of the CPI OS comes with the retro arch set to a custom ratio. I changed mine to 4:3 and it made many of the games playable, but broke some. I do not know how to set a screen ratio for each game, but to change it, you can press shift and menu while in a mame game and go to the video driver settings and look for ratio. Lots of different ratios, I find the 4:3 works best for me to get many of the games to show in a full screen.
Because the rom contain .rom files which is not compitable with mame simulator, you should find the rom just contain .bin files. I have solved problem.
I was having a problem with the games because the ROM file name and the name of the game in the rar file was different. So I change the file names to be the same and the games I mean NEOGEO games start to work.
I had the right ROMs, just the wrong emulator. He linked instructions that pretty much just say that certain ROMs are only compatible with certain emulators. I didn’t use a romset, but I have all NEOGEO ROMs that are running perfectly. I try a lot of things that led me to try the ROMs with different emulators which solved my problem.
you need neogeo.zip put it into your roms folder
Does anyone know how to run games on AES mode?
I’ll have a look when I get home, but from memory, in the key binds, there should be the ability to enter the DIP switch mode, service menu or something to that effect. That would probably be the closest thing to AES mode, and probably how the Mame 2003 plus core would treat it.
Otherwise, I guess experiment with alternative cores catered towards neo geo specifically, and check out the hotter binds/controls.
How to put neogeo.zip into the NeoGeo ROMs folder? I don’t understand is there a folder with that name missing or you are preferring to something else.
That is assuming you’ve set it to the default location.
This is why I like to specify my bios directory.
Your neogeo Roms are all stored in a folder, ie where you put them. It can be literally anywhere, but probably will be the Mame directory.
You may have put them somewhere else but at the end of the day, they run from a directory. Wherever your neo geo Roms are, put the neo geo bios with them.
Unless your Retroarch config file specifies it explicitly, that’s where they go. I don’t know what’s in your config file, so can’t say for certain, but let’s assume that it is the default location.
Put the neogeo.zip file in the same place your neogeo Roms are located.
I will put the NEOGEO ROMs in the RteroArch Emulator installation folder, I think there will be no problem. Everything in one place.
Do you mean the ~/.config/retroarch installation directory? That’s a slightly unconventional directory, and will get quite messy. I’d probably at least recommend a sub directory, but it’s your machine.
Make sure you don’t delete any files you’re not meant to if you do put them in your Retroarch directory.
When navigating to the directory, you will also need to enable hidden files to be viewable, since the .config folder is hidden.
All in all, I would not recommend you go down this route, and instead consider using the ~/games/Mame directory.
