I am using the 176VM_05_fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro_wii core for neo geo games. it plays the games that comes with files like c1.c1 and does not play games with files like c1.bin etc.. I also use rom cnv to create cache files for bigger games and they run ok.
I have some questions (these are specific to neogeo games):
1- I saw there are a bunch of newer cores, like i.e. 1.9.1, is it worth to use them? Or will I need to update the romset too?
2- I have a lot of roms with these bin files and they doesn´t play on this working core. Is there a way to convert these games so the end with c1, c2, etc and can play in my core? OR: is there a core that can also handle these files, and still can run the bigger games? (using romcnv or not) OR: should I discard this "bin" romset and look for for the "c1,c2" ones?
3- I had a neogeo.zip with unibios until the 3.0 and then I downloaded the version 4.0, renamed and inserted into the zip file, but the splash screen continues to show version 3.0. Is it ok? If not, How can use a newer version like 4.0 or even 3.2, and whats the practical advantages on doing this unibios update?
I am just trying to find the best set core+roms+unibios that can run smooth most neo geo games on my retroarch wii
(I am not worried about MAME and CPS games for now, I am setting up separate retroarch apps for them)
