I have a kof 2002 rom but all emulators refuse to open it...I try it on mame, kawaks, nebula but they all bitch about different files or no .dat file (only nebula) .

here are the contents of the zip file (kof2002.zip)

RomName / CRC
-------------------------------------------
265-m1_decrypted.bin 1c661a4b
265-c1.bin 2b65a656
265-c2.bin adf18983
265-c3.bin 875e9fd7
265-c4.bin 2da13978
265-c5.bin 61bd165d
265-c6.bin 3fdd1eb
265-c7.bin 1a2749d8
265-c8.bin ab0bb549
265-m1.bin 85aaa632
265-p1.bin 9ede7323
265-p2.bin 327266b8
265-v1.bin 15e8f3f5
265-v2.bin da41d6f9


Now here is what mame32 tells me:

"unable to start rom, the following files must exist in the zip file"

kof2002: 265-p1.bin 1048576 bytes
kof2002: 265-p2.bin 4194304 bytes
kof2002: ng-sfix.rom 131072 bytes
kof2002: 265-m1.bin 262144 bytes
kof2002: neo-geo.rom 131072 bytes
kof2002: ng-sm1.rom 131072 bytes
kof2002: 265-m1d.bin 131072 bytes
kof2002: ng-lo.rom 65536 bytes
kof2002: 265-v1.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-v2.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-v1d.bin 4194304 bytes
kof2002: 265-v2d.bin 4194304 bytes
kof2002: 265-v3d.bin 4194304 bytes
kof2002: 265-v4d.bin 4194304 bytes
kof2002: 265-c1.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c2.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c3.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c4.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c5.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c6.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c7.bin 8388608 bytes
kof2002: 265-c8.bin 8388608 bytes


what exactly is a decrypted/incrypted rom and does that have anything to do with the error? or is the file just corrupt?

as for nebula it needs the .dat file...but I don't know how to make it and it doesn't exist on the internet (not for this rom version)...can someone help me with it? I think nebula might do the trick because I had "corrupted" roms according to mame work fine on nebula.

are there other emulators out there that might work this?

First of all, you're using an old/hacked/whatever Mame32 version, the needed files on latest 0.97u2 are:

So if I'm not mistaken, you got all the right roms but still missing the NeoGeo Bios. It's called neogeo.zip , the file names & crcs are mixed on the kof2002 set needed roms because Mame system needs every file to be here to load. Anyway, the neogeo.zip content should be:

You also need to set up your rompath correctly, so Mame would be able to find kof2002.zip and neogeo.zip. Take a look where are your roms & bios and copy/paste the path on Mame/Nebula/Kawaks Rom paths

In summary: Set up your rompath correctly, get the neogeo bios and get a newer Mame version. It should work with latest Kawaks and FBA too, not sure if Nebula as it a bit outdated
