Ok thanks !

[KaaMoS]

you have cheats or some kind of high score hack (if FBA does such things like old MAME did) turned on.

incidently, this is why MAME doesn't allow you to boot up with cheats on, despite people requesting it all the time.

Thanks Haze, you're right, I forgot I had Album feature unlocked (^_^)'
All works OK after pressing F3 (although, cheats were loaded automatically each time FBA started).

Seems to be that Cheat author forgot to type "Default" value to "'0", and he left it as "1"; so this Cheat file was always loaded by default,
This is the correct file:

cheat "Unlock Photo Album"
default 0
0 "Disabled"
1 "Enabled", 0, 0x101ED7, 0x09

However, I didn't see that "cheats" was still enabled, just because at simple view (from menu) it looks disabled (no marks next to text).

So, what I mean is that would be good to add a "checkmark" next to "Enable Cheats" (at the left) to see if they're enabled or not.
Something like this:

found a bug for you guys

Dragon Breed (both M72 and M81 roms) has graphical "flicker". It worked fine in a earlier release.

Fixed this - and fixed the sound in the driver too.

Hi SNK_Dude,

All games you've listed work fine under fba 0.2.97.21. Simply it seems your neogeo set is not up to date (especially M1) according to your message. So before reporting broken games (which are not broken), be sure to have the correct neogeo set for latest fba release...

[SNK_Dude]

I do have the latest set which is the strange part, All files inside the roms are perfectly matched.

and what i mentioned is a bug where it gives the error and shows a completely different rom name like in Sengoku 3s case where it samsho5.zip was found when its a error for Sengoku3.

Sengoku 3 had a non-terminated unicode title which may have lead to issues with that set and that set only. That said, it still worked fine (but may have displayed title incorrectly, and/or other such things, the issue you saw with looking in and extra zip was probably caused by this).

For the others, like JacKc said, you have the wrong files. The sets used by .08 will not be current for the latest version.

[SNK_Dude]

Well I have no idea what it could be then since i am using the 0.2.97.21 set.

Edit: I learned why it was giving that error now, I had multiple directories with the same rom name in them.

Hi,
I can still confirm this bug:

http://neo-source.com/index.php?topic=1366.msg11338#msg11338

and it's not tied to filters or specific video renderers.

Thanks

You're right. I thought I had found a fix, but that broke the title in Progear, and also MAME doesn't do anything like it and that has no issues.

I could quite easily fix it by blanking the two specific tiles in a sfa2 specific driver init - which I may do unless any of the team has any better ideas?

I think it's related to the unemulated palette fade - but for now I'm going to nuke the tiles on init.

Actually - nuking tiles on init breaks the game over screen - so leaving as is.

Looks like we need emulate palette fade for this one.

[Barry Harris]

Made a start on palette fade. Verified palette control register for all CPS-1/2 games (including non-MAME) and added config mapping for it. Will hook up the actual palette calculation tomorrow hopefully.
