It needs the parent set: ringdest.zip, in order to work.

yes, thanks a lot but how come is "Super Muscle Bomber: The International Blowout" rom title missing in FBA emulator list ? (you open emulator list by pressing F6)
I mean, you must expand original rom (in my case, the original rom is RING OF DESTRUCTION) in order to find Super Muscle Bomber The International Blowout clone but it is not possible to expand all original roms in order their clones appear in FBA emulator games list so i think this is a FBA bug, isn't it ?

Obviuosly i ticked "ALWAYS SHOW CLONES" in FBA emulator options but it is useless.

So how do i open FBA and find all displayed rom clones in games list ? (i open games list by pressing F6)

Did you try to scan your roms after adding the new roms?
You may also rescan a single rom, try: show unavailable, search muscle, and click the + next to Ring of Destruction,then hit game info on Super Muscle Bomber.... and on the next window, "Rescan Romset" - this way you can find the exact reason why it isn't displaying the roms (missing files etc)

no, i didn't because the first thing i do is to check if FBA emulates a rom or it doesn't.
So i never scan new unknown roms because they could be NOT emulated by FBA.

Anyway, i wanted to know how can i set FBA expands his original roms in order rom clones are displayed.
How can i set it ?

This is a pic about what i mean:

It will only expand to show the clones (automatically) if the roms are present for those clones.

Hi pierini 1,

Accordind to your snap you have 8630 unvailable sets for a total of 8633 sets so maybe first you need to set ROMs paths and Scan ROMs.

Secondly, for your info, there are only working ROMs in FBA (except few exceptions) so "in theory", all the games in the list are emulated by FBA.



I'm sure you're doing something wrong but, sorry,  i really don't understand your explanations :S

well i just need FBA displayed all roms with thier clones, even if i downloaded no FBA roms.
Because first of all, i want to check if FBA emulates some roms or it doesn't infact FBA does not emulate all roms.....

Now i understood FBA only shows clones if i already downloaded rom for those clones and i think this is a FBA little bug.
What do you think about that ?

Hi pierini1,

this is really unpleasant and aggressive to read something in red even to show something important. It is more correct to use bold.

Effectively it seems FBA only show clones when they are available. If parent ROM and clones are unavailable, by default FBA only show parent ROM as unavailable (you must click on + to see clones).
I don't know if this was intentional or if it was a bug.

Finally for the last time, ALL ROMS LISTED IN FBA are emulated (except few exceptions). The non working games only appears in FBA DEBUG BUILD and are not included in REGULAR FBA BUILD.
