I just tested RA NEO VM and i hang at the BIOS boot. I plugged in MY normal RA NEO VM.dol i use through stand alone RA and it is working correctly. Ill post the dol in a few minutes do you can test on your side.

will it work as a plugin or i have to test standalone?

 

[RunningSnakes]

It will work as plugin. It might be the replacement dol.

 

[chrondelta]

testing now...
still seems to hang after loading cache. Wait... one second, i think i messed up.

Edit: I put the new DOL in the wrong folder, lemme try again.

 

[chrondelta]

Okay i put it in \wiiflow\plugins\Arcade\FBA_VM\dols and same results.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Hmm. Are you sure you have the 3.2 or 4.0 bios. Not positive if they have to be (newer) versions but have noticed some games use the 4.0 bios instead of 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 during boot. I just booted 3 games with no problems. Garou, Ironclad, KOF 2000. It could be your bios.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Booted 3 more. The .dol file is good.

I'll try that. Where would i find these options saved so i don't have to do it again later?

 

[chrondelta]

we talking about this list of BIOS? I don't see a 3.2 or a 4.0 on here.. This is from the DOL

 

[RunningSnakes]

There is a hold button trick to get into the bios at bootup but its been a long while since i did it and dont remember the combo. The emulator automatically uses whichever version is necessary i believe. If you open/unzip the neo bios youll see which versions exist and add to the bios.zip when new versions are released.

what files do i need in neogeo.zip then?

Ill open my bios, not long ago i added 4.0 to the zip but not entirely sure what is all there.

 

[chrondelta]

Wait what in the hell, this thing had been sitting still for like minutes after i tried one of the USA MVS BIOS and... the game eventually... loaded.... what the hell. That was absolutely way too long though.

 

[chrondelta]

So i did experience something strange: using one of the USA Bios, the game did load after like 5 minutes or longer, something absurd like that

Anyway, with properly up to date BIOS, it seems like libretro neogeo VM works now.

Only weird thing is BIOS 3.2 and 4.0 dont actually show up in the BIOS list for _vm games, but the default one plays fine, loads game immediately after the cache finishes loading.

 

[chrondelta]

So could someone point me in the right direction as far as figuring out what ROMs/games go on:
-FBA Psikyo
-FBA PGM
-FBA Other?

And for that matter, "Mame_Wii"?

You need UniBIOS. With original BIOS loading is much longer. It's in the README.

Download Scripts_Datas.zip. Inside DATAS folder you'll find different lists with. RA GC_Wii FBA Compatibility List (0.2.97 romset).xlsx for example.
Or go here http://www.progettoemma.net/ search 'pgm' and you'll have a list of games. Not all games are supported in Mame/fba wii.
PGM & Psikyo have dedicated cores due to RAM limits.

so is everything that's not CPS1, CPS2, NeoGeo, Psikyo, and PGM: are all of those Other? (by my estimate that's Capcom, Cave, Data East, Galaxian, Irem, Kaneko, Konamo, Pacman, Post_90, Pre_90, Sega, Seta, Taito, Technos, and Toaplan)?

Yes!

I don't know why, but when I run ARCADE games - CPS1, the games turn on correctly, games for CPS2 crash into the system right after firing? is there no emulator for cps2?

Please help, I followed the instructions and moved over all the COPY_TO files to their respective locations, but it's not showing any plugins for anything. I can't see my games or anything either. I double checked the Wiiflow settings and the plugin path is correctly set to USB: any ideas? (I'm using both USB ports to power my HDD if that makes any difference)
