the proble is i have downloaded winkawak 1.55 loader and also downloaded patch kit from *snip* i dont know how to patch properly where to put parent roms and how to develop new rom for example i patched kof97 to kof97yk but emulator gives me error kof97ps_p1.rom not found



That forum contains links to all kinds of illegal material, please think about what you're posting. - IQ

Wonder what forum that was...


If it's not found then it isn't there. Did you rename your patched rom to the name it wants? Does the patched rom have the same CRC as what is expected?

ok then can u help with patching roms

the name is correct but still it says could not found the file i dont know about CRC can any one give step by step information about patching

There is no need to quote yourself, nor make multiple posts in a row. If you need to add something, edit your old post.

What kind of hack is kof97yk exactly? I'm asking because a) you can already use many of the features these hacks offer by simply using cheats, and Ther should be no need for a loader as the newest official release is Kawaks 1.59 (all original Neo-Geo games are already supported).

As for those type of hacks that cannot be activated via cheats, MAME Plus! offer these hacks in and IPS patch collection that patches roms on the fly provided that you have the correct MAME set of the original game.

That particular set is already working, on the Neht builds -> http://mame32neht.blogspot.com/

They also have patches on their site, and its easy to use.

can u tell me how to use those patches

The intructions are contained in a readme file included with each patch.
