FBA 0.2.97.40 working rom .dat
« on: June 06, 2017, 03:43:13 PM »
Hi all, I have a full FBA 0.2.97.40 romset (split). Great! But.. I'm getting really lost in it  :eek:

Is there a Clrmamepro .dat file with ONLY the working roms?

I've tried compiling it myself through CMP, but I just can't figure it out..

Would be great!

There is no FB Alpha 0.2.97.40 dat for clrmamepro with only working games...Only a few games are not working in FB Alpha.

In general we don't add non working games except sometimes when a working bootleg clone and/or an unprotected set needs a non working parent (not working due to unemulated protection, etc...).

Thanks for replying.

Is the retroarch FBA core less compatible with arcade roms than the "vanilla" FBA emulator? Because when I try loading up a game like Donpachi, retroarch FBA core doesn't work

Slightly, but it gets better with each release (like, not long ago, most Irem games didn't work in the retroarch version).

I can't check now but I'm pretty sure I had it working with 0.2.97.39.

I play all Cave games (DonPachi, DonDonPachi, Esprade, etc) in .40 FBA core in Retroarch daily.

It definitely must be your romset, which could be incompatible with the FBA core.

edit: just checked and DonPachi works in .30 FBA core, .38, .39 as well.

Not exactly true, that was an arm specific issue, i think upstream is still affected by this bug ("#define INT8 char" still in nec.cpp ?), except upstream don't have an arm release.

Thanks for the replies guys! It was my romset indeed.

I now have all CPS (1,2 and 3) games bundled in my frontend, next a NeoGeo category, next to a MAME "everything but CPS and NeoGeo" category. Good stuff! :)
