Open the zip...if the files inside have file extentions of *.ROM then you have a Neorage version. If they say *.BIN then you have a MAME / KAWAKS version.
Yup, DW is right here. Usually, there are two things different from MAME and NeoRageX roms:

1) ROMs are often named differently;
2) For newer games, MAME often needs the encrypted version of the ROM and NeoRageX needs the decreypted one.

If you're trying to run an older games, you're probably running into problem #1. Try using ClrMamePro to fix it (backup your ROMs before using it!!):

If you're running newer games, it's probably a combination of both #1 and #2. ClrMamePro can fix the ROMs with wrong names, but you'll still need the correct version for the others.

BTW, don't ask for these ROMs around here, K?

Nope, you can keep the BIOS in a file called neogeo.zip.
