Retroarch Neo Geo Rom Sets

I spent one year building an arcade machine. I found myself installing and reinstalling RetroPie on my Raspberry Pi a million times to get it right for the type of work I wanted to do. Every time I needed to reinstall, I had to reconfigure the entire system by following the same steps repeatedly.

Browse All Neo Geo Roms. Marvel VS Capcom. 5955 downs / Rating 50%. Neo Geo Action Fighting Battle. 3229 downs / No votes yet. Neo Geo Action Battle. CPS1 Roms Pack Collections Plus Winkawaks Emulator; NeoGeo Roms Pack Complete Set; 8 in 1 GBA Collection Series: Pokemon!! GBA Pack Collection: Tales of Phantasia; GBA Pack Collection: 5 in 1 Pokemon Hacked Games; GBA Roms Pack R; GBA Roms Collection Series: Tiny Toon and Friends; Mame4droid 0.37b5 Roms Pack; GBA Roms Pack D.

The reinstalling was mostly because of the lack of information about many setup choices you have to make if you want to get the most out of your Raspberry Pi.

Installing RetroPie

The first step is burning the RetroPie image into the SD card.

Step 1. Identify which model of the Raspberry Pi you have.
Step 2. Connect a compatible SD card to your computer.
Step 3. Download and install the official Raspberry Pi Imager.
Step 4. On the Raspberry Pi Imager, go to Operating System → RetroPie and select the version that belongs to your Raspberry Pi model. Also, choose your SD card.

Games: SD card or external drive?

From here, you have two options: installing games into the SD card (efficient when your SD card is big enough) or installing them on an external drive (most ideal for small SD cards).

If you prefer to keep games and RetroPie on the same SD card, you can avoid the section 'Setting up the external USB Storage'.

To install games on an external USB drive, do not plug the SD card into the Raspberry Pi.

Step 5. Extract and reinsert the SD card into your computer.

You'll notice the SD card is now called boot.

Setting up the external USB Storage

Keeping the games (ROMs) and the saved games progresses in an external source makes it easier to experiment with RetroPie in the SD card, keeping the critical data safe in a plug-n-play source.

It's also a good option when you have a small SD card with enough space for no other thing than RetroPie.

Step 6. Format a USB drive as FAT. Use any disk utility available on your OS for it.
Step 7. Create a folder named retropie-mount on the root of the USB drive. It will be used by RetroPie every time you boot the system.

Find more info about this in the official RetroPie documentation.

Overclocking the Raspberry Pi

If you have an old model of Raspberry Pi or a Raspberry Pi Zero,it is recommendable to overclock your board. That way, you can run games that require more power. For example, a Raspberry Pi Model 1 and Zero can't run most of the Neo Geo or MS-DOS games, but an overclocked Pi can do it.

There are two ways to overclock a Raspberry Pi: the wrong one and the right one.

The wrong way lets you expand the core and memory as you wish, but it's dangerous to your board and voids the warranty.

Raspberry Pi provides an official way to do it right: Introducing Turbo Mode: up to 50% more performance for free.

I recommend you to do it in the right way:

Step 8. Edit the file /config.txt and add (or uncomment if it's already there):

Setting up an arcade controller

It took me a while to understand how to set up an arcade controller. Even though the documentation is right there, I didn't know the arcade controllers' name was Xin-Mo.

Step 9. Edit the file /cmdline.txt and write at the end:

There are a few more steps to configure the controller but wait until turning on the system.

HDMI sound

If you're using a computer monitor like me, it probably doesn't have built-in speakers. In some cases, this kind of monitor has a 3.5mm jack to output sound to external speakers. In that case, you may have to make that the HDMI takes control over the sound:

Step 10. Force the sound to go through HDMI by adding the following line to the file /config.txt:
Step 11. Increase the sound quality by updating the /retroarch.cfg file with:

The headphone jack's sound is a lot clearer with a lot less static using that configuration.

Now turn on the Raspberry Pi

Plug the SD card and the USB drive into the Raspberry Pi and turn it on. As it is the first time to run RetroPie, it will take some time to process.

The first screen to appear is to set up the controllers:

Setting up the controllers

Step 12. Set up each button of your controller. For an arcade machine (Xin-Mo controller), I recommend using the same distribution as the Sega Genesis controller. For any control that you don't need to set, keep pressing any key to choose -NOT DEFINED-.

You can change this later and also set up different controller distributions for individual consoles and games.

The A button becomes the Enter key, and the B button becomes Escape.

To set up the controller for the second player:

Step 13. Press Start to open the menu, then select Configure input, this time keeping any button of the second controller pressed.

Installing games

That was all related to the initial setup. Now it's all about games!

If you followed the steps to install games on the SD, follow the official documentation about all the possible ways to transfer ROMs.

To install games in the external USB drive and if you followed the steps detailed on Setting up the external USB Storage, then:

Step 14. Unplug the USB drive from the Raspberry Pi and plug it into your computer.

Now the folder /retropie-mount should have some folders inside:

ROMs

All the game ROMs must go inside the folder /retropie-mount/roms.

Step 15. Place the ROMs into its corresponding console folder. Avoid zip files because they are not supported.
Step 16. Plug the USB drive into the Raspberry Pi and wait until the drive's LED stops blinking.
Step 17. Reset EmulationStation going to Start (menu) → Quit → Restart EmulationStation

The ROMs are now on EmulationStation. You're going to see them in the main menu of RetroPie under the console name. Repeat steps 14-17 to add more ROMs.

Specific setups

Following the steps above, you'll have access to the most common consoles and games. But by following a few more steps, you can go beyond that.

Sega Megadrive/Genesis buttons

The Sega emulator recognizes only three buttons by default (Megadrive controller). In my case, I had installed six buttons in my arcade cabinet, so I activated all of the buttons (like a Genesis controller):

Launch a Megadrive/Genesis game and go to the RetroArch menu ('Select' + 'X').
Go to Quick Menu → Options and set the two input devices to six buttons pad.
Exit the RetroArch menu.

Neo Geo BIOS

This emulator works a little differently from the other ones. Before copying ROMs, you need to:

Get the Neo Geo BIOS: There is plenty of sites where you can find the neogeo.zip file you need.
Copy the zip file (compressed) to /retropie-mount/BIOS and /retropie-mount/roms/neogeo
Move ROMs as zip files (compressed) to /retropie-mount/roms/neogeo
Restart EmulationStation.

Note: Most of the games won't work the first time, but you can change the emulator for those specific games:

Open a game and press any key before it loads.
Go to Select emulator for ROM → lr-fba (or any other emulator) → Exit without launching.
Relaunch the game manually.
If the game still doesn't work, try the same steps with another version of the game.

MS-DOS emulator

Beyond this point, you'll need to use a keyboard.

Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Internet.
Go to the RetroPie settings: 'RetroPie' → 'Retropie setup'. The first time getting there can take several minutes.
Install DosBox: 'Manage packages' → 'manage optional packages' → 'dosbox' → 'install from binary'. It will take some time because it needs to download packages from the Internet.
When it ends, go back to the main menu, then restart the system: 'Perform reboot'.

Now MS-DOS is a console in the list of consoles. A new folder /retropie-mount/roms/pc will also be created automatically in the USB drive.

Visit this complete video tutorial for more info: Simple DOSBox Setup RetroPie MS-DOS Raspberry Pi.

MAME emulators

I had the worst experience trying to understand this platform. I recommend to play arcade games on Neo Geo or find a version of the games for a more common console. In case you choose to use MAME, this is what worked for me.

There are different versions of MAME that were launched in different years. So, for example, if you have the emulator for MAME 0.37b5, you must get games with the specific version 0.37b5. For some versions, the games are far more challenging to get than others. Another factor that determines which version you need is the Raspberry Pi model.

For Raspberry Pi Zero and 1, ROMs have to be version 0.37b5 (mame2000).
For Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4, and 400, ROMs have to be version 0.78 (mame2003).

Then to copy ROMs:

Copy zip ROMs to the folder /ROMs/arcade.
Do not use folders specific for emulators, like /mame-xxxx.
Upload compressed (.zip) ROMs. Folders won't work.

The first time a game is running, it will ask for an emulator to run:

For Raspberry Pi Zero and Pi 1, choose mame4all (mame2000).
For Raspberry Pi 2, 3, 4 and 400, choose lr-mame2003 (mame2003).

And

That's all far I could go. I'll update this guide as I find more and better solutions.

RetroArch is a multi-system emulator that supports really much every video game system. Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket Color, WonderSwan, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Virtual Boy, PC Engine/TurboGrafx-CD, PC-FX, Game Gear, Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega CD/Mega CD, Sega Master System, PlayStation 1, Saturn, PSP, and much more! It’s an open-source emulator available for every operating system and is also 100% free. This tutorial is for the Android version actually. In this article, we are going to talk about the Complete Guide on Retroarch Cores – User Guide. Let’s begin!

Questions about MAME, Neo Geo, playlists in Retroarch (Bleemsync version) Question Using Retroarch (from the Bleemsync 1.0.1 pack) for the first time outside of emulating the odd SNES/Japanese PS1 game and having a pretty easy time getting Sega CD, MAME and other “finicky” systems to work well thanks to good documentation.
Here is a rom collection that I use for retropie. Included are games for. Amiga, apple2, atari 2600, atari 5200, atari 7800, atarijaguar, atarilynx, comodore 64.
RetroArch is a multi-system emulator that supports pretty much every video game system. Atari Lynx, Neo Geo Pocket Color, WonderSwan, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, SNES, Virtual Boy, PC Engine/TurboGrafx-CD, PC-FX, Game Gear, Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega CD/Mega CD, Sega Master System, PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, Saturn, PSP, and more!

The fact that RetroArch covers every video game system provides Android users with a huge advantage. The available single-system emulators only cover the usual assortment of famous systems. There may be some instances where you will have no choice but to use RetroArch as well.

RetroArch is particularly ideal for Android tablets and also Play Store supported Chromebooks. Single-system emulators do not fare well on large screens, however, RetroArch does.

The drawback of RetroArch is that it wants to do everything and also cook your dinner! It’s loaded with an overwhelming amount of features and customization as well. The result is actually a poor user experience. RetroArch is actually confusing for beginners. But, that’s exactly the reason why I created this tutorial. Hopefully, I can make RetroArch easy for everyone 🙂 The Windows version is really good, too.

You can also find RetroArch for download in the Google Play Store.

Best Cores in Retroarch for Android

Game Boy Advance – mGBA
Game Boy/Game Boy Color – Gambatte
Nintendo (NES) – Nestopia
Nintendo 64 – Mupen64Plus
PlayStation – PCSX-ReARMed
Sega Genesis/Game Gear – Genesis Plus GX (PicoDrive from Sega 32X games)
Sega Saturn – Yabause (very strenuous performance-wise)
Super Nintendo (SNES) – Snes9X

Configure Retroarch Cores

After you have your cores all set up, to get it to detect your games now you will need to get the ROMs and ISOs for your games onto your Android device as well. (We stress that these should be copies of games that you already own.)

When you have the games on your device, then you can load them one by one through going to “Load Content”. Then you have to navigate to them from there. Alternatively, you can also set up proper playlists.

If you want to do this, then tap the Playlists icon (middle option at the bottom of your Retroarch screen). Then click “Scan Directory.”

Choose the directory where you keep your ROMs, then select “Scan This Directory.” The ROMs for each console will now be neatly contained in separate folders in the “Playlists menu” as well. You can also select and run your games from here.

Controls for Each Core | retroarch cores

Well, this bit can be confusing. If you are just using the touchscreen, then you do not need to do much. Because each core has its own customizable on-screen touch display to control games. If you are using a controller, but, you may want to do some tweaking.

In order to make changes to controls and so on in each individual core. Then you first need to load that core using “Load Core” and load a game using “Load Content” (or from your playlist).

Then, in the Retroarch main menu, you should now see an option called “Quick Menu”. Tap it, then click “Controls” and scroll down to configure controls for that game.

Now here’s the thing: you can then save those controls in order to apply to all games on that core (Save Core Remap File). Or also just to that individual game (Save Game Remap File). Choose the Save option that suits your needs, and then you can get back to your game.

PS1 or PS2 Emulation and BIOS

For the most part, you do not need to worry about BIOS when running emulators and also games. Because the relevant files are also included in the emulators. BIOS files are really much the first thing an emulator looks for when running. Along with a different BIOS file required depending on the global region of the game you are playing.

With PS1 and PS2 games, however, you will have to find the relevant BIOS files yourself (you can find them online). And then put them in the “system” folder of Retroarch on your Android device.

You can also find out more details about PS1 emulation on Retroarch in our guide. It’s for the desktop version however, the same general rules apply. Whenever it comes to BIOS, then the ones you will need are the following:

scph5500 (NTSC – Japan)
scph1001 (NTSC – US)
Also scph5502 – (PAL – Europe)
scph5552 (PAL – Europe)

Shaders (screen filters) | retroarch cores

Screen shaders (called ‘screen filters’ in other emulators) render your screen in a variety of ways to make it look sharper and beautiful as well. By default, RetroArch actually uses a basic shader that only blurs the screen a little bit. You can also change it to something a lot better! Let’s see how you can do that:

During gameplay, Click for the quick menu then scrolls down to choose Shaders.
Then select Shader Preset > shaders_glsl.
- What are the GLSL and slang? GLSL are shaders that work on a wide range of platforms that includes phones and tablets. Slang is shaders compatible along with the new Vulkan renderer. They both should work fine on your Android device. So it does not really matter that which one you select.
You will arrive at the shaders folder, which is full of subfolders. You have to take a little time to explore these folders. When you are ready to try a shader out, then select the “glslp” file for it.
Finally, choose Apply Changes for the shader to take effect on your game. This is a global change; all games are now using this shader you just selected.

The Shaders | retroarch cores

RetroArch also offers an overwhelming amount of shaders. I think the count is well over 50 now. On your smartphone’s small screen you guys won’t even notice the subtle differences between most of them. I’m going to make it easy for you and also recommend only 2 shaders.

hq4x: attempts to round pixels together without blurring as well. It is found in hqx > hq4x.glslp. If you feel that the eagle is too smooth or blurry, hq4x is a better choice. Here’s a sample of it with Chrono Trigger (SNES) and Shantae as well (Game Boy Color):

If your Android device is also struggling a bit with the hq4x filter, then try hq3x instead. Even further, hq2x would be ideal for really slow devices as well.

eagle: a classic shader that smears pixels together along with a slight blur. It is also found in eagle > super-eagle.glslp. If you feel that hq4x (above) is too sharp, then the eagle is a better choice for you. Let’s see a sample of it with Chrono Trigger (SNES) and Shantae (Game Boy Color):

You are previewing the eagle with these large screenshots. Keep in mind that it will look sharper on the smaller screen of your smartphone.

Deleting a core

RetroArch’s interface also makes it easy to accidentally download an unwanted core. The following directions are how you guys can delete a core. It’s oddly many steps and not a convenient process.

On the Home tab, head to Load Core and then select the core you want to delete.
At the very top, you should see the header updated along with the core you chose. On the Home tab, scroll down and then choose Information.
On the Information screen, you have to choose Core Information.
On the Core Information screen, scroll all the way down and then you will find an option for Delete core. Select it to delete the core now.
