Hello, I'm trying to start up arcade games with BizHawk 2.9 but the it keeps shutting down without error message.
I've been trying a few different Mame roms, and opening them both by "Open" and "Open Advanced...".
Is there a way to see logs of what goes wrong?

You might have the wrong version. This title runs without issue (1941.zip).

Metal Slug
Metal Slug 2
These are both Neo Geo titles, and Hawk is requesting you for the Neo Geo bios "tried in mslug neogeo".

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
This one is requesting for Q-Sound bios "tried in qsound_hle dino".
For the three that require a bios you need to do these steps instead of doing: File > Open Advanced > Launch Game (1941 should be using this).
From Hawk do:
Tools > Multi-Disk Bundler.
Create a save location.
Set System to Arcade.
The first one should be your game, in this demo we'll say "mslug.zip"
The second one is your bios in this case it's "neogeo.zip"
Image to show you what it should roughly look like:
Click Save & Run and Metal Slug will load.
As a note. There are titles that would require more than just a single bios file if you say for instance want to run Crazy Taxi which requires 4 extra files.

Since this topic already exists. Yes... Bizhawk crash every time I try to open an arcade game. I tried both Capcom and NeoGeo games.
Is Windows 11 mandatory for them to work? I know Microsoft will stop supporting old OSs (I use Windows 8.1), but I have my own pace and I will only be able to change to W11 next year.

I believe all known bugs have been fixed. Try a dev build.
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope
Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.
Running 2.9.1 and still getting it opening the zip file trying to get me to choose a file (not how arcade games work) even when starting through "Open advanced..."
Does it on a few different games but right now I'm trying superman.zip.

Superman throws an explanation stating you need a bios, so you need to find that file that it's telling you about then follow these steps, or throw that bios into the superman.zip file.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
