Bios Doubts/Problems..

[markwalk]

Hello fellows, this is my first post and I'm already asking for help out there. I can't seem to make any emulator (e.g.: Kawaks, NeoRage and Final Burn Evolution) to detect my KoF2002 rom. Kawaks audit show errors as if files weren't present:

kof2002 265-c1.bin 8388608 2b65a656 ERROR: not found, game will not run
kof2002 265-c2.bin 8388608 adf18983 ERROR: not found, game will not run
kof2002 265-c3.bin 8388608 875e9fd7 ERROR: not found, game will not run
[...]

And yet I have two versions of the rom, one containing the Kawaks mentioned files, described below:
[kof2002.zip]
265-c1.rom / 265-c2.rom / 265-c3.rom / 265-c4.rom / 265-c5.rom / 265-c6.rom / 265-c7.rom / 265-c8.rom / 265-m1.rom / 265-p1.rom / 265-p2.rom / 265-s1.rom / 265-v1.rom / 265-v2.rom / 265-v3.rom and 265-v4.rom

For what I've heard, this is the new format. Nevertheless, the only apparent difference are it's file names, that instead of 265 it is kof2k2, in an equal kof2002.zip. Which of these is the correct one?

Aside this, I have also 4 versions of Neo-Geo bios, and don't know which is the correct one. One seems to be old, having 57kb (files are neo-geo.rom, ng-lo.rom, ng-sfix,rom and ng-sm1.rom). Two others have pratically the same size; 259 kb (000-lo.lo, asia-s3.rom, sfix.sfx, sm1.sm1, sp1.jipan.1024, sp-e.sp1, sp-j2.rom, sp-s.sp1, sp-s2.sp1, usa_2slt.bin, vs-bios.rom) and 272 kb (000-lo.lo, asia-s3, neodebug.bin, neo-epo.bin, neo-po.bin, sfix.sfx, sm1.sm1, uni-bios.22, usa_2slt.bin, vs-bios.rom) which seems to be the one for FBE, since it came along with it, and makes Metal Slug X playable without any problem. The last one is the biggest, having 572 kb and the files as follow:
000-lo.lo, asia-s3.rom, mvsbios.rom, neodbug2.bin, neodebug.rom, neo-epo.bin, neo-po.bin, sfix.sfx, sm1.sm1, sp-e.sp1, sp-j2.rom, sp-j3.sp1, sp-s.sp1, sp-s2.sp1, uni-bios.21, usa_2slt.bi and vs-bios.bin. Uff.

Any of these is the correct one for Kawaks?

I already thank you guys for any help received

Be sure that the ROMs have exactly the same names and crcs!
To check a crc, just zip what you have with WinRar. You can check the crc when you open it with WinRar.

Good luck

Thanks man! I got it solved, turns out that both rom files I had were wrong. Downloaded a new one (which, by the way, took me this several days, since bittorrent downloaded 900mb out of 100mb, God knows how..) an' it's now working. Really grateful for your help!

Just thought I would throw a question in this thread since its related to Neo Geo Bios'

Has anyone got the Hyper Neo Geo 64 Bios to work yet? I have downloaded it from a few different sites and none are working copies.

P.S. I run Mame32 .110. Do I need to worry about this Bios yet and If so, does anyone know some specific games this 64 Bios uses?

The driver status is preliminary, so you don't have to worry about this one. You can check info on the set on this page. It also mentions the games that use this BIOS.
