Fbneo Complete Romset -

A: "Fully non-merged" means even BIOS files are embedded in each game’s ZIP. That results in massive duplication (Neo Geo BIOS is ~2 MB x 150 games = 300 MB wasted). Standard non-merged is better.

A true "complete" FBNeo set usually contains roughly 3,500 to 4,000 ZIP files, totaling approximately 15GB to 18GB (compressed) or 25GB+ extracted.

Copy all .zip files from your non-merged set into that folder. Do not unzip them. FBNeo reads the ZIPs directly.

Let us be absolutely clear: Copyright law still applies to arcade ROMs.

Most arcade games are still under copyright. Distributing or downloading a complete romset without owning the original arcade PCBs (printed circuit boards) is, in most jurisdictions, illegal. However, the retro community operates in a gray area based on abandonware and preservation.
