Dartagnan

Agozer- Thanks a lot for your very detailed answer! That explains a lot as to why the different Neo-geo roms sets don't play nicely with different emu's. I started using the latest version of FBA (forgot cardinal rule of always using the latest version, sorry...) and because FBA wouldn't load my neo-geo games due to a asia-s3.rom missing (from the latest bios file that I'll find shortly) I stumbled across a useful link that had a lot of questions I didn't ask answered, which was here: http://www.hardworks.de/neogeo/ I double checked and they don't appear to have a forum so hopefully this won't be a violation of this board's policy.(I really don't want to get myself into trouble here on my second post!!!) Please delete / contact me to edit if there's a problem! I'll try out Nebula next, and thanks for your recommendations and help! Thanks again, Dartagnan

Hey all, nice to see a emu help board that's actually current! I looked through the topics already and couldn't see something that adressed this, so...! Lemme say first that I've been d/ling roms and using emu's non-stop for the last 4 months or so, starting with snes, nes, gg, sms, gba, and roms for saturn, dreamcast and psx, and a bit of experience with mame. Set up all the emus, worked out all the glitches on my pc by myself, yada yada... However, when I got to Neo-geo and CPS1/2 roms.... well, things are a bit difficult to understand and after scouring the web and some chatrooms for answers and finding none... I find myself really needing assistance for the first time. I could really use some help with these questions!!! 1) With neo-geo (and CPS) roms, how can you tell which emu they're designed to play on? 2) Are there converters to transfer compatibility from one emu to the next? 3) Which emu is most compatible (still being updated?) (Mame..??) 3a)...and could you give me a recommendation as to which you deem the best and why? (Kawaks roms are quite impossible to find...) Most of the roms I have work with NeoRageX. I have Kawaks, and that plays only one of the Neo-geo roms I have (cthd2003) and plays only some of the roms I have with FBA. I've tried playing both of these romsets with Mame too, and after getting varying responses, I have the funny feeling of a head against a brick wall for some reason. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks! ICQ#58434332
