WinKawaks Problems

[RedHat]

Before you older people even start, I've read the readme, I've read your FAQ, and I even tried to fix it myself, so don't even start with me.

No, seriously, this is weird. I have two Neo Geo emulators: WinKawaks and NeoRAGEx. NeoRAGEx works great, but it's next to impossible to rip sprites from. Thus, WinKawaks. All the roms I have for NeoRAGEx works fine on NeoRAGEx, but WinKawaks will not stop whining. "Couldn't find this!" "Couldn't find that!" now it's telling me it can't find 000.lo or something.
Directories are correct. I have the BIOS. The rom obviously works, because NeoRAGEx plays them without a hitch. Roms and BIOS are in the rom folder. Everything is zipped, and I even took the extra step and renamed all the files in the .zip from (for example) mslug3_c1.rom to 256-c1.bin.
Must... rip zombies from Metal Slug 3...

In all seriousness though do the roms show up when you do a scan of available games? Even after you rename the files to the approriate type they have to be exactly has the emulator says. There might be d's or p's tucked into the name of the file. If kawaks tells you it's missing a file like you said then try to rename it to exactly what it tells you.

I'm not going to beat around the bush here, the only reason I want to use this thing is for it's ripping capabilities.
Now, I took your advice and tried all 3 of the Metal Slug 3 zipped names (i.e. mslug3, mslug3n, mslug3nd) and it didn't find any of them.
I hit both buttons (Rescan All, Scan for New) and nothing showed.
Kawaks 1.48 and Windows XP Pro by the way.

(EDIT) It says: "Couldn't find 000-lo.lo (e09e253c) for game, ERROR" and then "No romset loaded!"

(EDIT2) Okay, I figured since Nebula has been remarked as "near the samething as Kawaks", I decided to give it whirl. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me either. On Nebula 2.23c, when I try to run the Metal Slug 3 (Unencrypted) AND the Metal Slug 3 (Encrypted) they both tell me:
"neo-geo.rom, Not Found
000-lo.lo, Not Found
sfix.sfx, Not Found
256-v2.bin, Bad CRC. Expected 7E2A10BD, Found 4CD5E822"

Considering I put three different BIOs in there, I don't understand why it can't find neo-geo.rom.
This is being to get frustrating.
