I have some old neo geo games' backups which I play when I was a child. Is there any way of playing this on this ubuntu 13.04.

There are ancient Neo Geo emulators roaming around. Alongside GnGeo, there is NeoCD/SDL. I've no idea how well that works but it's just as old so it's just as likely to explode.
The reason NeoGeo gets no love is because people just use MAME. MAME handles a wide spectrum of consoles and arcade machines. And people tend to favour the original arcade ROMs that NeoGeo games are ports of. UpUbuntu.com has a fairly good tutorial on getting it all set up that I can't beat... But the basics revolve around the mame
package.
We also have a question about various MAME front-ends:

NeoRAGEx is what you are searching for. The emulator is available for both Windows and Linux.

You've provided the download link for Windows, not Ubuntu. Is there one? Perhaps adding that one would be of extra value over the current one.– MastApr 27, 2021 at 15:51

Not sure if there is version for Ubuntu, but you can run it using Wine. The good thing is that with this emulator you have high emulation success rate, while the other emulators I tried can run only like 10% of the games. Apr 30, 2021 at 9:02
