So, the latest improvement fixed the libretro core for android to the level of mame_0.155.
Mushihimesama, Futari and Daifukkatsu (the other games are not affected by the issue) now play without errors if:
- delete game.fs before starting game
- after starting the game, go back to Retroarch gui and "reset".

(I've only tested Mushihimesama, but based on the identical behaviour to mame, all should work fine.) Will test further.

Have a great day guys!

@el_rika make sure you are using the latest version of the core (whenever it'll be available from the libretro buildbot), there was a fix for a race condition issue around 2 hours ago, it would sometimes cause glitches in mushisam

Thanks barbu,

I will test it as soon as it becomes available.

Regarding my previous post, i think i made a mistake.
The most consistent way of having Mushihimesama error free is this:
- ignore the .fs file
- start the game
- go into core options and disable Threaded Blitter
- restart/reset
- go back to core options and enable Threaded Blitter

(My previous test still had missing bullets, but only in some small parts of the level/boss, so i missed it initially).

Now it's error free and the new additions to the core will most likely fix things further.

el_rika, can I ask how you are running these new games in FBN on Android? I'm getting an error that the roms (does it for all CV-1000) aren't part of the rom set, but my core is on 1.0.0.3 and the roms work fine on my PC in FBN. Any idea?

[el_rika]

Be very sure you are actually on the latest FBNeo core. To be sure, download/update it again.
Try moving the roms that give some kind of CRC error to Retroarch - system - fbneo - patched  (you need to create the last two folders, fbneo and patched).

Some roms need repackaging, but Mushihimesama and Ibara Black Label should work in their default state.


As of latest core revision, Mushihimesama, Futari and Daifukkatsu no longer need any reset trick to load the layers properly. They work perfectly from the get go.

[barbudreadmon]

but my core is on 1.0.0.3

All builds from the past year are 1.0.0.03, this is the ongoing wip version, you'll need to make sure you are using latest build and not one from weeks/months ago.

Thanks, was able to get them going!
