Are you sure you have the right roms for FBA?

If you're testing some roms that also need a bios rom eg. NEOGEO do you have the bios rom in there too?

All the emulators are installed elsewhere, that's not the issue.

cheers deezer

i re imaged the sd as i choose to switch to low res ( just because i thought that might have been the issue)

ans the image i think corrupted basicaly black screened from then on

i re instaled and placed a few diffrent roms and yeh two ran ok so im chuffed to bits because it was great just to have a game running so close to original

i have a sega vs city and i ave been working on it for a few years slowly, got sweet chasssi in there now screen is in great shape crisp vibrant sharp.
so to get this working in partnership with it will be a dream come true...

so yeh having read all the instructions slowly this time! last night it says all roms in acordance with emulator. ( so bios in there with roms)

so is that just bios in with roms or boot/romsarcade/emulator/roms/bios ? in other words bios folder with all required bios in it placed inside the emulator file with the roms? thanks deezer

just put the bios roms in with the other roms, no need to create new folders for them. Bios roms will be ignored by the romscanner so they won't appear in the menu.
