sorry for being a noob
thanks for the help
Perhaps its best to try to get things straight from the gngeo-gui path configuration now you have installed both deb packages:
  • BIOS: make sure you point to the map with the neo geo bios. It should contain files like "aes-bios.bin"
  • romrc: /home/opt/gngeo/share/gngeo/romrc.d/
  • roms: should point to the folder with your neo geo roms in zip format
  • gngeo: /home/opt/gngeo/bin
If all that can be set without error and it's still not working, let's try to start from the command line as the next step.

P.s. Making gngeo work is a bit out of scope of this topic...

The call is in a correct way if it is done in one line.
If you just enter /opt/gngeo/bin/gngeo, does it give a help page, or a permission denied?

I cannot imagine /home/user/MyDocs/aof.zip will have permission issues. Just entering /home/user/MyDocs/aof.zip will give a permission denied, because it is not executable.

So the call in one line must be: /opt/gngeo/bin/gngeo /home/user/MyDocs/aof.zip

So make sure you are in the same directory where gngeo-gui_0.0.1-1_armel.deb is placed (via "cd") and then executed the command again. Please let me know if it helped, and if not, upload the exact commands you gave and the errors you encounter.
Ok so in terminal I typed

sudo gainroot
then cd MyDocs
and then dpkg -i gngeo-gui_0.0.1-1_armel.deb

what I got was this
Unpacking gngeo-gui (from gngeo-gui_0.0.1-1_armel.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gngeo-gui:
gngeo-gui depends on python-pyside.qtgui; however:
Package python-pyside.qtgui is not installed.
gngeo-gui depends on python-pyside.qtcore; however:
Package python-pyside.qtcore is not installed.
dpkg: error processing gngeo-gui (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

Hey buddies, for people having difficult getting gngeo working, check my Tutorial on 'http://forums.internettablettalk.com/showthread.php?p=986825#post986825' (post# 65 ) . In addtion; for who have tried installing the package from this thread, install Filebox or another File Manager with root access and check if opt/gngeo folder is present, also home\user\gngeo, delete both of them if so. Do not create home\user\MyDocs\roms before XTerm comands. Check App Man to see if you have gngeo v. 0.7 installed, if so uninstall it, follow my tutorial on the link, neo geo bios (4 files) go unzipped to home\user\MyDocs\roms also the zipped roms. To start a game on XTerm 'gngeo/bin/gngeo mslug' (for example romname without .zip) press Enter . Install XGngeo for configurations or edit gngeorc file.

This is a clear message about missing dependencies.
sudo gainroot
apt-get install python-pyside.qtcore
apt-get install python-pyside.qtgui


If the packages cannot be installed, you will probably need to activate extra repositories (like described here)

cheers for all the help ade

Might be a problem with the (missing) bios. Did you config your paths as and bios path/files as I asked? And saved the config of course.

What about:

/opt/gngeo/bin/gngeo -B PutBiosPathHere /home/user/MyDocs/aof.zip

And fill in your own biospath instead.

It wouldn't harm if you also checked other forum posts on maemo.org or just googled a bit. There is a lot of information to be found on howto setup gngeo in general.
