neo-geo bios getter error [Solved]

I've started to get the following error (the core and whatever bios files are present still work fine, however)

edit: the problem was due to a case mismatch, the folder on my USB was NEOGEO when it needed to be NeoGeo.

Code: Select all

STARTING BIOS RETRIVAL FOR: NEOGEO

cp: cannot create regular file '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/sfix.sfix': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/sp-s2.sp1': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/000-lo.lo': No such file or directory
cp: cannot create regular file '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/neo-epo.sp1': No such file or directory

'/media/fat/BIOS/NeoGeo/sfix.sfix' -> '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/sfix.sfix'

'/media/fat/BIOS/NeoGeo/sp-s2.sp1-MVS_BIOS' -> '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/sp-s2.sp1'

'/media/fat/BIOS/NeoGeo/000-lo.lo' -> '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/000-lo.lo'

'/media/fat/BIOS/NeoGeo/neo-epo.sp1-AES_BIOS' -> '/media/usb0/games/NeoGeo/neo-epo.sp1'

That's because you're using an external drive. Try moving the bios files into the respective SD card folder (media/fat/games/NeoGeo).

I removed all files from the USB NeoGeo directory (including ROMs, just in case) and copied everything to the SD card NeoGeo directory. I'm still getting the same error.

This only happens with NeoGeo and afaik I didn't change anything to make this error start appearing.

It should read:

Code: Select all

/media/fat/games/NeoGeo/sfix.sfix
/media/fat/games/NeoGeo/sp-s2.sp1
/media/fat/games/NeoGeo/000-lo.lo
/media/fat/games/NeoGeo/neo-epo.sp1
/media/fat/games/NeoGeo/uni-bios.rom

I believe I have all those files on the sd card and am still getting the same errors. The only way to avoid errors is to run the script with the USB drive unplugged.

edit: although I've now moved my NeoGeo roms to the sd card, mister still insists on using the usb drive even though the NeoGeo directory is empty. So I can only play NeoGeo games if I unplug the usb drive before boot.

Sounds like some filesystem error, maybe related with case-sensitiveness, what is the exact name of the NeoGeo directory in your usb device?
There have been changes on NeoGeo bioses recently, so that could explain why the error is happening now.

The problem was indeed due to a case mismatch, the folder on my usb drive was NEOGEO instead of NeoGeo, which hadn't been a problem up until now. Thanks for the help!
