Summary 05974: Neo Geo games work from command line but not menu
Description For instance, the following work just fine:
./mame64 mslug
./mame64 kof98
But if I try the following:
./mame64
Then select any Neo Geo game I can think of from the menu, it says it's missing one or more required ROM or CHD images.
So it looks like there's some disagreement between directly loading a specific game vs. going through the menu when it comes to finding the Neo Geo BIOS files.
Steps To Reproduce As above.
Additional Information I'm not sure how up to date my Neo Geo BIOS files are, so I'd better tell you they're these:

Sorry I'm not using the latest version of MAME, I never did have much luck compiling other people's programs!
First I thought it might be to do with how I don't zip my ROM files, so I made a roms/neogeo.zip with the relevant files, but it still didn't work, so I don't think that's part of the issue.
This is the only version of MAME I have to test with, but I'm happy to try out anything to see what works and what doesn't.

Neo Geo Roms Not Working MameNeoNeo geo roms not working mame games

Crack no cd sim city 3000 world edition. Basically, the Neo Geo Base Pack will have all official games (newest revision). There will be an additional add-on with unofficial, older revisions, standalone PCB roms, etc. I also found 18 modern King of Fighters hacks, but I'm not sure if they work on real hardware. The neo geo roms are listed inside the arcade zip file. @Paultimate I tried to avoid Clrmamepro many years ago, and now that I've learned how to use it, I cannot live without it xD @bukanijam FBNeo emulator can generate the DAT files itself (check misc menu).

Neo Geo Roms Not Working Mame Games

I have about 20 other Neo Geo games working perfect. Best shaders for minecraft windows 10 edition. I already have the bios file and I have tried about 12 different rom sites trying to find a rom that will work. Payday 2 money bag spawner. When I try starting one of these games, I get kicked back to the Neo Geo game list menu.

Current baseline MAME works fine.
I'm going to guess it is because your neogeo.zip isn't updated. every once in a while a new bios version or universal bios added
What happens if you just try to run 'mame neogeo' from command line? Do you get any incorrect crc matches or anything else showing?
EDIT: I checked back and the neogeo.zip changed between 0.152 and 0.153 which pretty much confirms you are missing a rom or a rom is crc mismatched.

Huh, I've never tried that before..
./mame64 neogeo
I get a calibration grid, by the looks of things, so that seems to work just fine. No errors.
Regarding the linked patch, I didn't have neodebug.rom. I've now got it:
$ openssl sha1 roms/neogeo/neodebug.rom
SHA1(roms/neogeo/neodebug.rom)= 081c49aa8cc7dad5939833dc1b18338321ea0a07
I just tried selecting mslug from the menu and it still doesn't work.

Latest official x64 version works fine on 7 x64. Maybe it's problem with only MacOS version?

I managed to get MAME v0.163 64-bit from http://sdlmame.lngn.net and it has the same problem as before. It might be OS X specific, but it's even in the latest version.

Confirmed on SDLMAME64 0.163 running on Linux/x64.
It looks like it may be SDL-specific.

FYI, this is kind of by design.
When I added the 'bios' functionality, I made it possible to load a game so long as you had the minimum roms to launch it in a given configuration (i.e. the bios you specified was available + the game roms). This was to address a concern from Nicola that users might feel they had to track down all roms even if their hardware didn't have said revision.
However, when the internal menu was added by Aaron, it didn't take this into account, and only showed games as available if all roms were present. It never bothered me enough to change, and I consider that it's a cool secret feature that you can launch incomplete sets from the command-line..

If this differential in functionality is known and intended behavior, then an issue doesn't exist to keep this status in Confirmed state.
