Neogeo Problem

[Shaun]

Okay, before I had GnGeo working with Metal Slug 1, 5, and X - the only games I could really get working. Metal Slug 5 was fantastic. I thought I'd upgrade to the new version as it could have improved compatibility. But it didn't work. I launch my games through Rage but that shouldn't make a difference. I get a message saying that three BIOS files are missing. I can't remember their names as I'm at college.

Anyway, I did a thread the other day and found out that you have to rename the BIOS files to those names. I did so, and I also found out they should be in the ROMs directory. So I made it so the BIOS files were both in "roms" and "bios" to no avail. This is irritating as it was working before.

p.s. To save myself from making a new thread, do you know why the music with PicoDrive is so slow. Even if I clock to 240 it's no different than 200.

Just redo GnGeo (as in start from scratch, or read the new readme that came with the lastest version)


Maybe it's a bad rom in PicoDrive??

The romrc's changed in recent versions of GNGeo (as did the gfx dump format). If your games were dumped, you will have to re-dump 'em. And you may have to edit the romrc's or rename some of the roms.

Either way, it shouldn't say the BIOS files are missing, should it?

Try the uni-bios and select it through rage.

Actually, I found a way around this anyway. Thanks for your help though.

You have to reinstall gngeo from scratch. Gngeo 0.7 search the bios differently than before (a new option is available in conf.gngeorc).
