I had the same problem. Download mame32; it works great for me.

[M.H.A.Q.S.]

You need a version of Neorage that works on winxp. Get it from some italian site... .

If you wanted to use the command-line mame, you have to open
a dos box, then run it from there.

Hello everyone. A few years ago a friend gave me NeoRageX with a bunch of roms on two cd's. I haven't used it in a while, but today I tried to install everything on my new computer.
Apparently NeoRageX isn't compatible with WindowsXP?
Well I tried to use Mame32 but everytime I go to load a game it tells me I am missing files. It always lists ng-lo.com, neo-geo.rom, and the other two files in my ngbios folder. I have these files, so I don't understand why it isn't working.
Any help would be awesome. Thanks.

If you've got the files, make a new zip file, put the files in it, and
call it neogeo.zip

NeoRageX is not compatible in Windows XP as it last updated in the year 1998, I believe. Pretty old emulator as you would say.

But you can find numerous versions of NeoRageX which was hacked and could run on WinXP now. Search through Google. B)

I put the four bio files in a zip file called neogeo.zip, tried to run a game, and the same error came up. ????
Some games list even more files than just neo-geo.rom, ng-lo.rom, ng-sfix.rom, and ng-sm1.rom. The window closes too fast though so I can't see them.
THis is all on Mame32 by the way.
Thanks for your help.

In the newer versions of mame, the bios files MUST be included in the actual rom file of the game you want to play, or the game will not work. It used to be ok just to place the bios in the rom file and they would work. But not anymore.
P.S
There are ten neogeo bios files now that need to be in the games, not four or five. So if you don't have all ten they still won't play in mame.
