Best Answer

A BIOS or EFI firmware onboard a computer is one of the most critical parts of the booting process. It's responsible for checking for new hardware if there are any, if all connected hardware are working, and lets the computer boot from a operating system that is loaded to a drive that is already preconfigured or manually overridden by the user.

What is BIOS battery?

The function of a bios battery is basically to reset your bios if something goes wrong and you corrupt it. Bios batteries usually contain a little bit of information on them. Therefore, when you remove a bios battery, it goes back to default settings. **Note** removing a bios battery is usually a last resort to reset your bios. There are several other ways to reset your bios such as a jumper cable or (included in some never motherboards,) a reset bios switch.

How do you stop your computer from turning back on by itself when you put it into hibernate?

Usually a compute rin habernate will only "wake up" when you have the bios setting to "wake on lan" or something similar. If you have it connected to a network, wireless connectin, or USB devices, disable those before setting it into hibernate.

Can someone help me on how to set up mame 32 on PC and I want to get cruisin by it says it needs neo geo bios?

You're getting that error, because you are trying to play a Neo Geo based rom game, it needs the appropriate bios as well, to run the game. First you will need to locate a neo geo bios, it's usually in a zip format. Then all you do is drop it into your roms folder (unzipped). Mame32 will know what to do automatically after that.
