I downloaded romset 0.151 and none of the games even show up in yellow. So, what is up with that?
Any help?

Where did you put them? You need to point Final Burn Alpha to the location of your ROMs directory.

I made a FBA roms folder in my roms folder. ( Roms/FBA) Every rom i have put in does not show up.

as zear said, you need to specify the rom folder in FBA.

-Launch FBA
-Press "Start"
-select any of the "rom paths"
-navigate to your rom folder and press "Start"
-You will now see your rom folder listed in the rom paths list. Press Select to return to the romlist.
-If needed, restart FBA for it to refresh the rom list.

Press start, choose the folder, exit FBA and run it again. If no luck, you definitely did smth wrong.

YAY! GOt it! Thanks so much. So, what about all the roms that arent on the list? Do I have to wait for a MAME4ALL to play those?

- Namco Dragon Buster seems to have a glitch... the music playback is too fast.
- Data East Dream Soccer 94 doesn't run... I tried with all three 68k core emulators.
- Tecmo Eight Forces has a screen orientation similar to the Mazinger... in other words, the vertical screen orientation is inverted (from right to left) while the d-pad inputs are set to work with a standard orientation (from left to right).

Dragon Buster (drgnbstr) behaves exactly the same on official FBA and there's a note 'Missing sounds'
Dream Soccer 94 (dsoccr94) has it's parent rom marked as 'non working' in official FBA, but the clone dsoccr94j works in fact. And there's a note 'Imperfect sound and graphics'. It runs very slow as most other irem games.

As for Eight Forces I'll fix it asap.

Thanks! Your FBA porting is a big gift for the GCW Zero users!

Did you have time to examine the issue with SEGA Alien Storm? It doesn't run (black screen)... I tried all ROMs with all available settings...

Something is strange with this particular game. Official FBA binary runs it well. However, if I compile FBA for windows from sources 0.2.97.29, this game doesn't work. There are two probable reasons:
1. Either official FBA binary is being compiled from later sources where this game is fixed
2. Or different compilers are causing this (VC for official version versus GNU C for me)

I can't help much here as I don't have VC and I don't want to deal with it.

all the toki romsets have the music too slow, only the bootleg seem to be ok.

Superb work btw

In any case, we "will survive" also without Alien Storm!

Thanks again for your work!

PS: Sun Electronics Funky Fish (fnkyfish) and Comad Gals Pinball (galspnbl) have the same issue of Eight Forces and Mazinger (the screen orientation inverted).

You're very quick, Dmitry. Thanks.

Some kind of versioning (for both .zip file names) would be nice. I already lost tracking of what I've downloaded.

Yes, while Irem M62/M63/M75/M77 run ok (60fps), M72/M81/M82/M84/M90/M92/M97/M107 run too slow (about 5fps).

I've done a little research http://www.system16.com/museum.php?id=4 and noticed that M62/M63/M75/M77 all use a Z80 as main CPU, while M72/M81/M82/M84/M90/M92/M97/M107 all use a V30 as main CPU (M92/M107 also use a V33 secondary? CPU). All the boards use the same sound chips (YM2151), so i guess that the main bottleneck here is the emulation of the V30 chip.

Btw: in these games (all share the same board) the game runs fine, but the sound is too slow: http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=945

I am using rom set 149. I have set the menu. Parodius Da! works perfectly. But Sexy Parodius and a whole lot of other games refuse to show up in the menu. Simply because they are not on that list for some reason. (out of the 20 I put in the filecase only have 5 that showed up.)

Now I found out that once I set that menu feature on and press the select button on the opk, I can't set it back to the normal file browsing feature any more. I am going to copy the opk in the menu and try to set that one in the normal file browser settings. I hope that works
