Thank you for the update! But apparently, the Neo Geo Driver appears to be broken, non of the games are getting emulated. Instead, I'm getting a 'Guru Meditation #c0000005 . 0071D1D0' screen :eek:. Is there anybody else also experiencing this problem?

Thank you so much for this update.
I've some questions about these updates...

· Do you think is possible to change "search bar" with a "filter box"?
This way, filtered results would appear on gamelist while user is typing, no need to press "search".


· In addition would be good if we were able to force some games to "auto-load" memory card (Neo-Geo games, for example).
Do you think that feature could be enabled as a checkbox from main menu or gamelist window?


· Also, I'm still having a problem while setting screen resolution.
I always (have to) use the following values to cover almost all of my screen:
Video > Window size > Maximum size
Video > Monitor Properties > Normal LCD (5:4)

The problem is... my monitor is 1680x1050 (widescreen), which could be something like 16:10, but When I set:
Video > Monitor Properties > Widescreen LCD (16:10)

FB Alpha window gets squared, is like if CTR/LCD Normal and Widescreen values (or text/labels) were mixed from menu.


· Finally, I'd like to know what's the meaning/use of the following items:
Misc > Options > Display mode indicator
Misc > Options > Modeless menu


Thanks in advance for any guide about that!
Cheers!

Small bug to report:
Crosshair calibration is slightly off in zombraid. Adjusting in the service menu doesn't resolve the problem.

Hello .

I have the same problem for the screen. Same as Kaamos .

obliged to change a resolution or Monitor Properties
(just for some games)

I have a screen LCD 1440x900 and in screen configuration NVIDIA I put a correct aspect ratio .

I've just seen there's a French Localization for 0.2.97.11 Release.

Here's the Site:
Code: [Select]
http://www.tradu-france.com/
And here's the Article:
Code: [Select]
http://www.tradu-france.com/index.php?page=fullstory&id=53
French Localization "français.flt" is included with FB Alpha setup file you get from there.
I don't know who's the template's author, but "Benjamin Siskoo" appears as article's author.

Filter box - done. :)

Auto-load mem cards - maybe one day.

Display load indicator shows the OSD, eg, fps, playback/pause icons, etc. Modeless menu enables the menu to be modeless, google it if you need for info. :)

As for the aspect ratio - the vast majority of the emulated games were 4:3, they were not designed to be stretched for widescreen.

1) Thanks for the Filter box!
2) I hope this could be done someday, your answer means hope for me :)
3) OK, I'll look for "modeless menu" to know more about that feature!
4) Ah, OK, so this could be taken as a "Game Screen" property (cheated by a "supposed Monitor aspect ratio" that fits it as a result), instead of  how my window can actually "take original Game aspect ratio" on it.
Although, that's still a quite confusing term.

Thank you so much for your answers! ;)
