Could you change the layout of the preview pictures?  The preview pictures in the game information could be also displayed as a window in the gamelist interface, in which different preview pictures (title, snap, flyers, bosses, end .....) can be displayed by switching the tags.

we always appreciate comments, thanks
I'm doing my best to fix any games that are incompatible with the filter, if you find any - please let us know, and they'll get fixed ASAP

Incompatibilities can be like: sound drops out in parts or completely, get distorted or just sound bad.

I found some cackle on Superman and Rolling Thunder 2. Might just be my sound output though.

KOF2112, that's a good idea - I'm not just not very good at adding functionality to the UI, maybe someone else will like to do this?

I'm afraid I can't reproduce it in either game - is there a specific place where it happens?  If you think the problems is on your side, a good indicator is to enable the fps counter (backspace) and see if the fps dips too low - more than a couple fps low will cause crackles.  Another thing, try to add 1 or 2 more buffers to the sound buffers under "Audio".  Or even switch to XAudio2, sometimes XAudio2 works better than DirectSound on some systems.

I dont know if this is a fault or not if you get to the 3rd level on heated barrel without dying it gets insanely hard never played the real arcade machine so not sure

[dink]

thylacine, thanks for the tip - I'll have to give it a try some time, sadly I don't have much time to play games lately though.

Some improvements
Carnival (parent only), fixed some bugs and improved sound a bit, make sure to have the samples handy.

Heiankyo Alien, this classic game, which was very popular in Japan is now working with sound, grab the samplepack attached to this message.

Use a rom manager and fbneo dats to scan your roms.

[JoelH]

Nah its probably Libretro hasn't been updated yet/had a nightly released.

[dink]

JoelH,
When I post here about something new, it's available in the Windows version (aka main version) of FBNeo at the time of posting, the libretro core follows with a bit of a delay depending on how busy the maintainer is at the time.

I usually sync the repos once every 1-2 days, the morning before starting work (meaning now )

Great 1000 Miles Rally: Evolution Model!!! (gtmre)
[Lakka 3.4 / RetroArch 1.9.9 - FBNeo Core V1.0.0.03]

Vehicle select screen glitches car portraits for about a frame before displaying them correctly.
Initial frames when screen first loads also seem glitchy.
Vehicle graphics also glitch when their colors automatically change.,

[dink]

retroFuture, thanks for the bug report and reminder - gtmre is good now
