Hi everyone, I just got my caanoo yesterday and I really like it, I can sell some of my old handhelds now. But im having a little problem with the neogeo emulator. I know that to use a neogeo emulator, you need the bios for it, which I do. But when I place the neogeo.zip in, it gives me a error and a list of missing bios files on startup. I have the proper bios file, so what am i doing wrong? Any help would be very appreciated.

Have a look at the files, gngeo tells you, are missing, write the names down and maybe google is your friend.

NeoGeo.zip has the same contents no matter where you download it So whats all this extra crap its telling me im missing? I dont really want to hunt down each individual file on google like im playing fetch, thats just stupid. Why not just have the required bios file needed to run gngeo available for download somewhere???

You're a bit impatient. ;)

The Caanoo version of GnGeo needs the BIOS as single files in the roms directory (not in neogeo.zip).

Directory "/game/gngeo/roms"

oh and really, dont ask about download links or anything. posting them is just plain illegal and could cause unwanted troubles for the owner of the domain.
