Bah. Thanks, Dink. I must have forgotten how I did it before.

Thanks for everything you do. And your patience.

I think there's a problem with the end cutscene in Japanese version of Denjin Makai - the graphics look scrambled in this scene to me.

Al82, thanks for the report, is there any chance you have a state from before this screen shows?
edit, should be fixed - you'd have to load a state from an unbroken scene before the ending to see it as it should be.

Awesome - confirmed as fixed! Thanks for your help!

The sound in 4in1boot is pretty bad, it's ear grating (too loud?). With or without low-pass filter. 3in1semi is a pretty similar game, but the sound is fine in that one (like, compare Hyper Man in both games, the Stage Clear fanfare for example). Is that a game issue or an emulation issue?

Yikes, it's really bad with headphones on!  After a little volume tweaking it's now much nicer!  Thanks for bringing this one to our attention

Thank you Very much for fixing them . I had to delete the game config for them to work.

I think there's a possible issue with the output resolution of Mortal Kombat (rev 5.0 T-Unit 03/19/93). The official specs say the game has a resolution of 400 x 254, but FB Neo seems to be outputting 400 x 256.

At various points in the game, there's a visible black bar at the bottom of the screen, and there seems to be a single line of pixels missing from the output. By comparison, MAME outputs at 400 x 254 and there's no black bar at the bottom of the screen. You can also see the line of pixels visible in MAME, but FB Neo seems to have cut them off/replaced them with the black bar.

I've also encountered random issues with garbled background graphics during the "Test your Might" bonus stages, although it doesn't always occur.

Hi Al82,
Regarding Midway MK games - due to some technical reasons, we have to leave the height at 256px.  If sometime a workaround can be made, I'll let you know.

I'm not good at this game, so I need a little help here, if possible:
Regarding the test your might stage problem, the next time(s) you play this game, please make a savestate at the end of the level before it comes on, then if the background gets corrupted, please post the savestate.  The savestate really has to be from before the bad background gets drawn.

best regards,

My own humble opinion on this is that the team probably has more fun or useful things to work on. There's an endless list of things to be done, I don't think it's worth spending time on this. But of course, anyone who really cares about this can submit patches for it.

Thanks, Dink - if I can reproduce it consistently I'll attach a save state. The problem is getting that to happen

Hello. I tried loading gseeker. Result:

There was a problem starting 'Grid Seeker: Project Storm Hammer (Ver 1.3O)'.

Due to this, I thought I'd update my FBN to the latest version, just in case. I got "Windows.x32.zip" from: https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/releases/tag/latest
Result: it seems to have lost my settings (no recently loaded games, etc) despite the fact I put the files in my old FBN folder, and even after redefining my ROM path and scanning for ROMs, it still can't find any ROMs. When I just check "Show available", it shows nothing. I tried starting fresh from a new folder, same result.

Any idea? Thanks.

Edit: more info, after defining it, my ROM path looks like this: D:\blabla\fbn\
If I press OK, close FBN then reopen it, then the ROM path is just D
So it seems my ROM path is not properly saved.
