FBA 2.96.7x NeoGeo input problem
« on: April 03, 2008, 07:56:22 PM »
Hi guys, loving the enhanced versions of FBA.
However! I'm having a bit a problem.

Apologies if this isn't the right forum.

So basically, NeoGeo games in ANY 2.96.7x build (not tried any below, I like CPS3...) give me this weird input problem.
I loaded up a game, and I began to try and feed the game as many credits as possible, as fast as possible. (Don't ask)
However, as I fed them into the "machine", it went "Credit jingle credit jingle credit jingle *pause for a second* credit jingle credit jingle credit jingle *pause for a second*".
I found this quite odd, I'm very proud (not really but let's just pretend) on how quickly I can fill emulated NeoGeo games with credits, and I figured I must just be losing my touch.

So I tried playing Blazing Star. I'd hold a direction, and it would stop for a second, and then start moving again, stop, start, so on. After a while, it would go away. But then after a while...it would come back.

How annoying!

So I tried using my parallel port to PS2 adapter instead of my new USB to PS2 adapter to feed credits into the game.
Same thing!
So I tried keyboard...same problem.

I loaded up JoJo's Bizarre Adventure...and the problem wasn't there.
I loaded up a bunch of other games, and there was nothing wrong with them at all, only happens on NeoGeo games.
I've tried using a fresh Bios instead of my oldschool mix and match one I made back in the day when Samurai Shodown V was hard to find, but the problem stayed.

Knowing my luck, this has probably been covered with a solution elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything.
Thanks for any help.

Edit: I got my friend to try it out on his PC, and he's having the exact same problem!
Any fixes?
Thanks.

So whats this problem? On input it pauses emulation? Is that what you mean? if so, I cant confirm this.

Nono, doesn't pause the emulation, it's as if the input is cutting out every 2 seconds, then coming back after a second. It's definitely not my PC lagging, as the game runs 100% smooth, minus the input cutting out.
