Thanks for the report, i just updated the script generating this file, the change will be visible in the libretro fork next time i generate this file.

Regarding the SH3 stuff for cv1k, I am the sole author and copyright holder of a SEGA Dreamcast emulator which includes an SH4 interpreter and JIT.  I am willing to do the work to get it ported over to FinalBurn and relicense it under a compatible license.

I can't actually get started until August due to some IRL problems that will prevent me from getting any work done, but I can get the license changed now.  Is 3-clause BSD considered compatible with FB?

Wow man! Having those absolute gems in FbN will be a dream come true!

Pitapat Puzzle (a fun arcade puzzle game) has been added to the FBN roster... by dink with help from arnoldsecret and barbudreadmon!

[barbudreadmon]

I think this game got dumped for the first time last year, it's a pretty decent puzzle game.

I couldn't figure out how to play it :/

I think it goes like this : you switch the pieces from an area to another, when 3 round ones of the same color are next to each other, it starts a chain, also destroying the squared ones in the process.

From what I can see, a chain begins when three or more round/spherical pieces are put together, moreover the adjacent square pieces are not destroyed, but converted in round/spherical pieces.

FBA can include GGPO online? Fightcade 2 is in standby...

FBNeo only supports "classic" netplay, for ggpo-like netplay you'll have to use fightcade or libretro ports (there might be other ports using ggpo-like netplay but i'm unaware of them).

Thanks for the info, I will have to try again

Hi dink, I would like to report a guru meditation with the Vandyke rom which I do not have and despite that is marked on the list of available, I have Hacha Mecha Fighter and maybe that's why it marks the error.

[dink]

xerf84, I fixed the issue that would cause it to crash, could you please try running it again with the latest code and see what it says when you try to load it?

best regards,
- dink

I would need the executable because I'm not a developer, I'm sorry about that.

Here's an up to date test exe: https://www.sendspace.com/file/1nr466
