Hello everyone!
Lately i was trying to configure MAME v0.197 to run NeoGeo Roms and experienced errors complaining about missing files.
After some research i`ve found Zorlons Upload of NeoGeo BIOS for MAME v0.174 in the EP Forums containing the missing files that was actually solving the trouble with MAME v0.197. As i tried to download all missing files manually before i`ve downloaded also Universe BIOS v3.3 that was missing in Zorlons neogeo.zip. However MAME v0.197 yet make no use of it but maybe future releases do so i`ve included it and made this post to ease the search.
Instructions:
1) Setup MAME v0.197 as usual
2) download attachment (neogeo.zip) and place it in %MAME_DIR%roms
3) copy NeoGeo roms either into %MAME_DIR%roms or create a folder NeoGeo within the roms directory and place roms there

The Neo Geo is a cartridge-based arcade system board and home video game console released by SNK in 1990.
See also: FinalBurn Neo, MAME.
There are a variety of arcade emulators available in RetroPie which can emulate Neo Geo games. There are significant differences in performance, compatibility, and configuration between them. If you're getting started with arcade emulation, start by reading Arcade.
This page is a resource for additional details on configuring a dedicated set of Neo Geo ROMs including configuration paths, controls, and the ROM sets which each emulator requires.
Emulator | Rom Folder | Extension | Required ROM Version | Controller Config |
---|---|---|---|---|
lr-fbneo | neogeo | .7z .zip | FB Neo v1.0.0.1 | /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg |
lr-fbalpha2012 | neogeo | .7z .zip | FB Alpha v0.2.97.30 | /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/retroarch.cfg |
PiFBA | neogeo | .zip | FB Alpha 0.2.96.71 | /opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg |
GnGeo-Pi | neogeo | .zip | MAME 0.138 | /opt/retropie/configs/neogeo/gngeorc |
Emulators: lr-fbneo, lr-fbalpha2012, PiFBA, GnGeo-Pi
Refer to the main FinalBurn Neo page for general information on all FinalBurn emulators or the direct links above for in-depth infomation on lr-fbneo
, lr-fbalpha2012
, or PiFBA
. In-depth information on GnGeo-Pi
can be found below.
lr-fbneo is the prefered Pi 2 (and later) Neo Geo emulator due to its accuracy.
lr-fbalpha2012 is useful for any games that may be running slow in the latest version of lr-fbneo for a Pi 3/Pi 2, and if used exclusively instead of lr-fbneo
will allow you to do full system updates without worrying about needing to update your ROM Set, but comes at the cost of inaccuracy such as games having audio issues across the entire library and other issues that have been fixed in the latest version of lr-fbneo
.
PiFBA is recommended for those on a Pi 0 or Pi 1.
ROMS
Accepted File Extensions: .7z .zip
Place Neo Geo ROMs in:
BIOS
Neo Geo ROMs require a neogeo.zip
BIOS file with the exact same MAME or FB Neo version as the emulator you select. If you're using lr-fbneo
or lr-fbneo-2012
, you can copy the BIOS file in:
For other emulators, you can copy the BIOS file in the same folder as the ROMS:
Instructions on how to install the Neo Geo Unibios on lr-fbneo can be found here: lr-fbneo Neo Geo Bios. The Unibios can be used as documented on the official page at http://unibios.free.fr/howitworks.html.
- On the Unibios boot screen
- Neo Geo A+B+C (RetroPad B+A+Y) for BIOS Menu
- Neo Geo B+C+D (RetroPad A+Y+X) for Test Menu
- At any time
- Neo Geo Start+A+B+C (RetroPad Start+B+A+Y) for In-Game Menu
The menus allow you to change various settings like region, dip switch settings for gameplay options like difficulty or blood, and coin or free play settings. Unibios settings will persist after quitting FBA, launching another Neo Geo game, or rebooting RetroPie.
Controls
You will configure controls differently depending on which emulator you use:
lr-fbneo and lr-fbalpha2012
lr-fbneo and lr-fbalpha2012 utilise RetroArch configs. Add custom RetroArch controls to the retroarch.cfg
file in:
For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration
PiFBA
Neo Geo Bios
PiFBA controls are located in:
As there is no menu to configure controllers with PiFBA, like there is with Mame4all, you'll have to edit the aforementioned file manually.
Example fba2x.cfg:
GnGeo-Pi
MAME Version: 0.138 (May 2010)
Romsets emulated: 203
GnGeo-Pi DAT File: pandora_gngeo_084_dat.zip
GnGeo-Pi Filtered DAT File: pandora_gngeo_084_filtered.zipAll clones non-workingmahjongquiz removed
Romsets emulated: 128
As a caveat, if you're using _gngeo-pi__, the ROMs you have must match the file in gngeo_data.zip
located at:
You can only play roms that have the same name as these .drv
files, e.g. mslug2.zip
(rom) and mslug2.drv
(data). If the names of these files don't match, GnGeo-Pi will crash. (see the list at the bottom of this page for compatible ROMs)
GnGeo-Pi Controls
Once you've started GnGeo-Pi at least once a file called gngeorc
will be created in:
