Emulators: GnGeo-Pi, PiFBA, lr-fba, lr-fba-next

For Neo Geo games lr-fba-next is the default as it features the libretro control system, shaders, and all other libretro advantages. Since lr-fba-next is an FBA emulator, please also refer to FinalBurn-Alpha and specifically lr-fba-next for configuration information.

However, those on Raspberry Pi 1s may prefer the standalone emulator PiFBA, which will have better performance on limited hardware.

ROMS

Accepted File Extension: .zip

For information on how to rebuild newer romsets to be compatible with these emulators see this post: Managing ROMs

Place your Neo Geo ROMs in

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo

Gngeo-pi

As a lovely caveat if you're using gngeopi, the ROMs you have must match the file in gngeo_data.zip located at:

/opt/retropie/emulators/gngeopi/share/gngeo

You can only play roms that have the same name as these .drv files, e.g. mslug2.zip (rom) and mslug2.drv (data). If the names of these files don't match, GnGeo-Pi will crash. (see the list at the bottom of this page for compatible ROMs)

GnGeo-Pi is based on MAME 0.138 romsets (May 2010)

Total Games Emulated: 203

BIOS

Neo-Geo ROMs require a neogeo.zip BIOS file. Place this with your ROMs in

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/neogeo

The contents of a verified working neogeo.zip BIOS file are as follows:

Using the Universe BIOS (UNIBIOS)

Instructions on how to install the UNIBIOS on lr-fba-next can be found here: lr-fba-next#neo-geo-unibios

The Unibios can be used as documented on the official page: http://unibios.free.fr/howitworks.html

  • On the Unibios boot screen
    • Neo-Geo A+B+C (RetroPad B+A+Y) for BIOS Menu
    • Neo-Geo B+C+D (RetroPad A+Y+X) for Test Menu
  • At any time
    • Neo-Geo Start+A+B+C (RetroPad Start+B+A+Y) for In-Game Menu

The menus allow you to change various settings like region, dip switch settings for gameplay options like difficulty or blood, and coin or free play settings.

BIOS settings will persist after quitting FBA, launching another Neo-Geo game, or rebooting RetroPie.

Controls

lr-fba and lr-fba-next

lr-fba and lr-fba-next utilise RetroArch configs.

Add custom RetrAarch controls to the retroarch.cfg file in

/opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg

For more information on custom RetroArch controls see: RetroArch Configuration

GnGeo-Pi Controls

Once you've started GnGeo-Pi at least once a file called gngeorc will be created in

/home/pi/.gngeo/gngeorc

Example Configurations

 Xbox360
 p1control A=J0B0,B=J0B1,C=J0B2,D=J0B3,START=J0B6,COIN=J0B10,UP=J0a1,DOWN=J0a1,LEFT=J0A0,RIGHT=J0A0,MENU=J0B7
 Dualshock2
 p1control A=J0B2,B=J0B1,C=J0B3,D=J0B0,START=J0B9,COIN=J0B8,UP=J0a1,DOWN=J0a1,LEFT=J0A0,RIGHT=J0A0

 Meaning of the code:
 Kxxx : keyboad key number xxx
 JxByy : Joystick number x Button
 JxAyy : Joystick number x Axe yy (use a lowercase 'a' if you need to invert the axis)
 JxHyy : Joystick number x Hat yy

 you can define a button multiple time, for example A=J0B0,A=K123,etc..

PiFBA Controls

PiFBA controls are located in

/opt/retropie/emulators/pifba/fba2x.cfg

As there is no menu to configure controllers with PiFBA like there is with Mame4all, you'll have to edit the aforementioned file manually.

Example of fba2x.cfg
