A "little bug" report for the next FBA release:
Irem Battle Road (battroad) has the screen orientation inverted, like Eight Forces, Mazinger, etc...

Thanks for your remarkable efficiency !

Another update.

One-line fix made some irem m72 games run at 25-30 fps (tested with rtype, dbreedm72, nspirit).

But no miracles. Irem games are resource-hungry because they are emulated with scanline accuracy (most other games with frame accuracy).

i've had some strange issues when loading "Muscle Bomber Duo - heat up warriors" (mbombrdj.zip) and "Muscle Bomber Duo - ultimate team battle" (mbombrd.zip).

Bug A - The menu / loading bar did not get completely rendered when having these games loaded, only 1/5 of the screen was rendered.

When trying to reproduce it, i eventually got another bug:

Bug B - The menu/loading screen did not get rendered at all, and the game looked like this:

However, i cannot find an exact way to reproduce the bug. Right now, it seems to be gone.

P.S: Right now, i got Bug A in one of the games, and Bug B in the other one.

P.S.2: Eventually, the emulator crashed when loading a different rom, and now the bug is gone again.

Hope this makes some sense...

P.S.3: Bug A , when triggered, does not happen if i set vsync ON, but it happens when i set it OFF.

Then the main problem with Irem M72/92 games isn't the V30 core emulation, but the "rasterization method"... I tried some title, the performances are enhanced, however many games remain "very slow" (for example Hammerin' Harry runs at about 8-9 fps instead of 4-5 fps)

psst .. hey d_smagin ... analog stick --> mirror d-pad controls =]

Hi d_smagin,

Thanks for FBA for GCW-Zero!

The shortcut for quicksave and quickload are getting triggered by accident when I play. So I made them an option so I can disable them (in games I don't use the shoulder buttons much, I guess they wouldn't get triggered by accident). Just FYI in case you might want to implement something similar in a future release

.

What's the right way to compile it? I just did 'make -f Makefile.dingoo' in Linux (with the toolchain in $PATH), it seems to work

Cheers!

I've read through this thread several times and maybe I am missing something. I have only gotten a few roms to work for FBA. I am using rom set 149 and every rom I try and run seems to have files missing. I have placed the bios for neogeo games in the folder and they still don't run. I have read through the list of roms that work and most of those still have files missing. I am running this one internal memory. So far I can only get two roms to work. Mame4all is working like a champ. I would love to get fba running too. Any help would be great. I new to this stuff so it's possible I missing a step. Thanks guys.

See #135. You didn't even read the last page...

I can't think of a worse control for fighting games than an analog joystick. A d-pad is closer to the arcade stick because it has 8 digital directions.

zear · « **Reply #152 on:** January 09, 2014, 08:18:37 pm »

Analog can have 8 digital directions as well, it's a matter of coding the input.

Atlantis_Risen · « **Reply #153 on:** January 09, 2014, 08:56:20 pm »

It can, but playing with it is too 'floaty', there's no clear place where right, turns into down, for instance.

Atlantis_Risen · « **Reply #154 on:** January 10, 2014, 03:06:09 am »

So I'm trying to follow the directions in the opening post about the first time running FBA, but my screen doesn't have that orange FBA main screen. I just see my Zero desktop background with a file browser. Am I doing something wrong?

Delete old FBA link in /media/data/local/home/.gmenu2x folder.

Worked perfectly...thank you!

I'm just preparing FBA for my Zero - I've got every other emulator running beautifully.

I have a question though: the .149 rom set is huge, over 34Gb. What are people here doing to get it down to a manageable size?Mame4All does a nice job so I'd only be using FBA for NeoGeo and CPS etc.
It seems like a big time-consuming job picking NeoGeo and CPS titles out of 18,000 roms to move to FBA. I am up for it though, unless there's some blindingly simple answer I haven't figured out!

What did you guys do? Am I missing something?

Edit: I'm half way though... the miracle of coffee!

You should download directly the 0.2.97.29 FBA Romset (about 8.7 GB)...
