FBA has another new game: Grasspin by Zilec Electronics / Jaleco (c) 1983!!

Whilst fixing some music issues in the game Blueprint, I realized there was a game missing from the driver, all that was needed to add it was some simple modifications to the graphics banking and dipswitch handling.  As as side-effect of these new changes, Saturn (romset: saturnzi, same driver) scrolls a lot smoother, too.  Success!!

Nicely done! Your first game added to fba :D

You should take a look at d_jack.cpp. It's missing one hilarious game.

2 whole days of insane debugging to bring you, the good people & fans of FBA, music and sfx in 2 of the games in the new dooyong driver which didn't want to cooperate.  I might be losing my mind now o.O

:D

Dink, I don't know how to thank you. I love FBA...it has needed fixes, but the audio fixes have been the weak link for so long, and you have fixed audio troubles like nobody's business.

Thanks man.

Thanks guys - its a passion, and a lot of fun working on FBA :)
Just remember, I might have spent 2 days working out some sound issues, but iq_132 has spent nearly 2 weeks implementing the new games, and Barry has given us a nice new feature to the game list, as well;  I won't say what it is yet, but time will tell.. :D

I came up with a controversialbly horrible fix for the whineing/ringing noise in Wyvern-F0, basically it resets the AY soundchips when they are idle.  The game is now playable without making one go deaf, but, the code looks ugly. Maybe it will just be a temporary fix until we find a better way?  What do you guys think?

Operation Wolf has a bad sound quality.

I compared FBA's Operation Wolf to MAME and they sound exactly the same, so I'm afraid it can't be improved any better than it is.  On the other hand, Operation Thunderbolt aka Operation Wolf 2 had recently got a little audio improvement.
