hey guys im getting tired of downloading mame and kawaks beacuse every time i download the roms i check and it says its not available. i am new at this so i know i most likely am doing somthing wrong. cuz when i check for the games it says not avaliable. i basicly want to know how to check for bios,roms,games and how to install/use the programs correctly.

Try the audit option of Mame32, for example, to see if a Rom sets is correct. It would list if some rom or bios it's missing or incorrect. Also ClrMame Pro & Romcenter do the job on a much more complete but a bit harder way.

For example, to play neogeo games, you need the neogeo bios ( neogeo.zip ) and place it in your roms folder/path

The most problematic about the rom changes or file changes would be NeoGeo games, so that would be obvious that your emulator is a bit different with the previous versions everytime you audit your NeoGeo romsets. :cool:

No need to unzip anything. Perhaps your NeoGeo bios it's not up to date. Try downloading a newer Bios set.
About finding cps1/2 games, it's not allowed to post links to Rom sites here.

Did you mean that even NeoGeo bios couldn't be recognized from Kawaks by the time you audit the romsets? :confused:
