I have the newest version (1.57) and I want to play kof97. I already have the game, put the bio files in the zip renamed from NG-LO.ROM to 000-lo.lo
NG-SFIX.ROM to sfix.sfx
NEO-GEO.ROM to sp-s2.sp1
Before I renamed them I couldn't see my game on the "available games" option, after I did it I can now see it but when I try to play it... after the files that are loading are shown kawaks just disappears. Anyone have an idea why?

I found Kawaks to be the most stable emulator of the lot!
Runs on win95 and up, at full speed. I'm very happy with it,
and until I saw a post the other day somewhere, I'd never
heard of it having a problem running.

You need MAME's "authentic" Neo-Geo BIOS files. Renaming the original Neo-Geo BIOS files won't work.

That means I have to find the bios with the files 000-lo.lo ....etc? instead of NG-LO.ROM?
I'm sure this is going to take a while.

Yes.

Can someone pm me a site where I can find it? (if it's not against the rules of course) it's really starting to piss me off I can't find them anywhere.

Well it's illegal to ask...


The roms you need are
SIZE CRC NAME
131072 - 354029fc - sfix.sfx
131072 - 9036d879 - sp-s2.sp1
65536 - e09e253c - 000-lo.lo

Put them in a zip file called neogeo.zip and it goes into your roms folder.



edit: read your pm

It seems that I configured something wrong. I re-installed it and it worked perfectly.

edit: thanks robert you just made my day.
