Ended up giving up 1 Share Report Save level 1 2 years ago I just cant bear to see all you people having problems with Neo Geo so here is a step-by-step guide.

Easy Neo Geo (FBA v0.2.97.43) This was made with Windows 10 in mind as the OS.

Download the following archive: Easy Neo Geo Download the following program: clrmamepro Get whichever version you like.

Personally, I go with the 64bit and ZIP version because I have a 64bit OS and like portable programs.

Unpack the archive downloaded in step 1 to a new folder.

Install or unpack clrmamepro from step 2 so that it can be used.

Run clrmamepro. 6.

Hit Ok on the welcome message window.

In the Profiler window that comes up after clicking Ok in the previous step, click on Add DatFile., navigate to wherever the contents of the Easy Neo Geo archive are, then select either the Console Mode Only DAT or Arcade Mode Only DAT.

Whats the difference Four games with two being exclusive to each DAT.

Console Mode Only includes Last Hope and Treasure of the Caribbean, which only work like console games.

Remember, respect the rules of the subreddit.

Make sure the Destination in the upper-right part of the Rebuilder window is set to the one you selected back in step 13, then click on Rebuild..

After the long building process is done, click on the left circle in the lower-right corner of the Rebuilder window to change it to the Scanner window.

In the new Scanner window, disable Ask Before Fixing in the upper-right corner of the window, enable all Fix options in the lower-left corner of the window by clicking the under Fix, then click New Scan..

After the brief scan, youll have a Statistics window pop-up, just close it by clicking OK.

Youll have a new Scan Results window now.

If you arent missing anything then it will be empty, but if it lists anything youll need to track down the correct ROMs it lists then drag and drop them into the window (click Yes when it asks if you want to proceed).

You are done and now have a fully functional Neo Geo ROM Set for the latest FBA (as of this guide).

Optional) You may want to make another ROM Set using the other DAT.

If so, then I advise making a copy of the ROM Set you just made, alter its name to Console or Arcade, follow steps 7-14, then skip to step 19 by clicking on Scanner in the clrmamepro window.

Update lr-fbalpha.

Optional) Use the included Config Files ZIPs as directed in the included README in each to set all Neo Geo games to Console or Arcade.

FAQ Do these DATs include all Neo Geo games Nah, all of the Casino, Mahjong, Quiz, Shogi, and Trackball arent included.

Just Last Hope and Treasure of the Caribbean when it comes to that, or at least as far as Im aware.

If you have any problems then please comment, though I dont think I forgot anything.

Also, if you want to just verify and make an entire FBA ROM Set that will work perfectly (barring the games that arent emulated), then follow THIS GUIDE.

First acquire the correct ROMset with the Emulator you wish to use.

I believe current FBA version is.37).

You can put Neo Geo roms in either the FBA, Arcade or Neo Geo folders.

Where ever you place the roms you MUST place the neogeo.zip bios files in the same folder.

To run Neo Geo in AES mode you will have to switch to it just like a real Neo Geo.

You can either download the Unibios and add it to the neogeo.zip bios folder or switch to it from the RetroArch GUI.

If using the Unibios when a game is being launched during the NeoGeo start-up sequence press ABC to open the NeoGeo dipswitch menu.
