    Question Help with Kawaks 1.62 Arcade Emulator

    I really need help with the Kawaks arcade emu for windows. It's an arcade emulator that does CPS1, CPS2, and Neo Geo arcade games. I've been trying for days and just can't figure out how to run a single game! It's driving me insane! I got the Neo Geo BIOS .zip that it said i needed and i guess I'm doing something wrong because it still can't find any of the games I have in my Neo Geo folder. Please if anyone can help I will greatly appreciate it!

    You just need to get the correct rom for the emulator

    unfortionatly with Arcade emulators there are tons of versions of each game rom

    the best thing you can use is ClrMamePro that is a dat tool for scanning rom files and merging roms to attampt to make working roms out of none working sets

    the name of the prog does imply that it is for MAME but it works with rom dat files for any system

    http://www.logiqx.com/ has both the prog and the dat for Kawaks v1.62

    I highly recommend reading the Kawaks tutorial at fantasyanime. Download the latest Kawaks version and ROMs from emuparadise. I could not find the Neo Geo BIOS on this site so I downloaded it from EmuAsylum (click on emulators under the navigation menu, cps2, Neo Geo BIOS (file size 1235kg)). Do not unzip the ROMs or BIOS and make sure they are both located in the neogeo folder of Kawaks. I hope this helps
