Hi Floob,
After investigation, there are 2 issues :

ISSUE#1 : NEOGEO roms failed with FBA emulator
I can’t start a NEOGEO rom.
Yesterday I have followed your good video.
I have added the neogeo.zip file in those 3 locations :
• /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba
• my default folder where all bios files are stored
• roms/fba
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work.

For information, when I wrote : 1944 works, in fact I realise that 1944 is a pure FBA game (and not neogeo one). Sorry for the confusion.

So for my part, no neogeo game works.
In your video, I can see that you use roms version FBA 0.2.97.08 by lovok.
I didn’t find those files and I use may be another version of the roms. The issue could come from this difference… but I am not sure, else lot of people should meet this issue.

Concerning the neogeo.zip, it seems to be the same (1.316Mb from Windows explorer).

Does the issue come from rom version ? bios version ? other(s) ?
Could you advise something ?

ISSUE#2 : FBA roms with segmentation fault error
Now the FBA roms work.
I use CPS1 & CPS2 roms and they work. They are pure ‘FBA roms’ for FBA emulator.
I continue having the message on 90% when a rom is starting :
line xxxx : #code# segmentation error
but it WORKS well.
(if someone has got the solution…)
Thx for your help.

Hi Floob,
about ISSUE#1 and continuing my investigation, I have tried another bios file.
I found one

I took the file : FB_Alpha_v0.2.97.29_neogeo_BIOS.zip

As usually I put the file on the 3 locations and now it WORKS (finally!).
It works not for 100% of the neogeo roms but only half.
So my issue comes from bios version.

I consider my issue is solved.
Thanks again.
