Thanks for the report, actually it made me remember this one in 3wonders (in mame, the gun stays in the frame), it seems there are some priority issues in our cps1 driver.

barbudreadmon, this is not a bug in our emulation - watch this video:
https://youtu.be/UiJeLfruoh4?t=71
then skip near the beginning to see the pcb
What caused me to seek out a video:  I tried 3w in M*** and on that scene I noticed something peculiar about the way it clipped the gun from the picture  - it just didn't look right - in fact, it looked completely wrong.

Nice find. Makes you wonder how many "bugs" were "fixed" by assuming MAME's behavior is correct.

I use pretty good judgement regarding this, having been burned a few times over the years..

Ok, that's surprising, at the time i saw this bug i searched for a video of the pcb and failed finding one, so i relied on a video of the sega saturn port which actually had the gun cut.
Seems like the company that did that port messed up then , thanks for doing that research.

Nother idea for Final Burn Neo and i want it to say this is a must need.
Crlmamepro in a scan will delete the folders so i decided to simply add a folder called consoles and i put everything inside including neogeocd. Lucky i had the roms out of roms folder.
What you need to do is simple, change the folder name in the browser option to consoles/neogeocd as example.

I found an awesome freeware to convert pretty much any kind of iso to "single file bin+cue" (which is the bin/cue format accepted by fbalpha), it's called CDmage (there is no homepage but you'll find it easily with your favorite search engine) :
1. File > Open > select your iso
2. File > Save As > write the name of your new file
3. Make sure you select MODE1/2352 in the second drop-down
4. Press OK, wait for the process to finish, and it's done !

Get 1.02.1 from https://www.videohelp.com/software/CDMage *no-garbage Freeware*

Thank you so much!

WILOWAR, this is normal on NeoGeoCD: we show the overscan area for all games.  Some games use it & some games don't.

Look at the picture below..
What this - you might ask?  "Kick 'n Run?  Who cares about Kick 'n Run?", you might be saying..

The current "Kick 'n Run" we know used a hacked version of the bootleg's (mexico86's) protection MCU.
This bootleg MCU thoughtlessly told the game what it wanted to hear, just to get it going.

After spending 3.5 solid days going through the real MCU's disassembly and figuring out how to hook it all up,
it's finally running using 100% non-hacked Taito code
Since Kiki Kaikai runs on the same board, it will be a simple drop-in if/when the MCU is dumped.

Big thanks to Sean Riddle for dumping the MCU from an original Kick 'n Run MCU.  He painstakingly decapped the chip and visually dumped each bit.  What a trooper!
Secondly big thanks to "an unmentionable certain thing" for giving me a lot of extra time lately to do this kinda stuff.

note: it'll probably be another day of clean-up/etc before code is ready.
