Easiest way to learn is to look at some of the simpler drivers. A good example would be the News driver - that is very simple and comparing d_news.cpp from FBA and news.c from MAME would be a good start for somebody looking to get going.
Nice! I didn't ask that but I'm gonna check it out to see if I can finally port something that works and don't display a black screen LOL SeeYaa!
Tomorrow I'll do a quick write-up of my methodology for writing drivers. It would be interesting to see how other people go about the process too and then anyone who wants to start looking at writing a driver should hopefully have some good pointers from a few people.

I fired up Ms. Pac-Man yesterday and it looks gorgeous with Jan's scanlines! I notice there isn't any sound though. Is there any way to add sound IQ?
Great IQ!and for Violent storm, it's possible according to you?http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/viostrma
It's possible, but, honestly, porting konami's funky-ass/terribly complex graphics hardware is not really anything I'm horribly interested in.
Please, in advance, excuse me if I'm doing something wrong...I remember a not too old game about Jackie Chan (I played at my 7-8 y.o)What do you think about the porting/emulation of this game on FBA?I found this image:Thank you so much
Hi Barry, iq_132 and others...i've seen on EMMA that some dumps are already available but not yet emulated just want to know if some of them could be added to FBA and if it will be interesting to add them.Here's the list of games that i think could be added to FBA port (correct me if i'm wrong because i'm not an expert)*Bomb Jack (bootleg)*Dai Makai-Mura (Japan)(bootleg) *Eyes (alt)*Hang On (bootleg) *Ms. Pacman (bootleg) *The NewZealand Story (Japan, newer)*Wonder Boy (set 3 bootleg 2)*Wonder Boy (set 3 bootleg)
