Then that's what I'll do. Thanks a lot!

GryphonKlaw, Thanks for the response. I appreciate your help. I have all four V roms in the zip file (272-v1, 272-v2, 272-v1d, 272-v2d) but only 272-v1 and 272-v2 in the DAT. I would find this to be more of a problem if 272-v1 and 272-v2 didn't match James' CRCs. It would seem to me that either this set should be working, or Nebula just can't play encrypted games (at which point I guess I can compile MAME) I actually did try Kawaks, but with the same result. =[ I guess my instinct would be to get another set of ROMS, but it seems so odd that these won't run even with the correct file sizes and CRCs. I should probably try to either find a decrypted set when I get my cable hooked up (on 56k at the moment =\) or just compile MAME and run it in that. What it boils down to is that I have to wait to get my cable hooked up to find another set and I'm too lazy to compile MAME if I'm not sure it's going to work in that emulator. So, to answer my own question, I should probably just stop wasting your time and compile MAME to see if it works. Thanks everyone, and any further insights would be appreciated if there's something blaringly obvious that I'm overlooking (which I don't doubt).

Hi everyone, I've been lurking here on and off for a while, and usually find valuable information when I need information concerning emulation to be of greater value than none. I've decided to post because I'm in need of the simple service of someone telling me how retarded I am. I have a samsh5sp set that matches the encrypted set in the original post to a T. All the roms in both the James' list and the DAT are present, with the sizes and CRCs matching. I try to run this in Nebula (with a loader) and my Nebula just crashes to windows. I just copied the DAT in the original post into my neogeo.dat and the game showed up green in my list. Romcenter seems to think the ROM is in good shape. The only thing that confuses me somewhat is that I have 272-v1d and 272-v2d files in addition to the 272-v1 and 272-v2 listed in the DAT. I can't imagine that extra files would be of any harm to the program, but I'm definitely open to the possibility of being completely wrong. Is Nebula capable of running the encrypted version of the game? Do I need to compile MAME in order to run this set? Any help would be much appreciated. I've read most of this thread, so if by any chance this was answered in the couple of pages that I missed, apologies are in order.
