Probably the issue is related to "16 bit emulation"... to activate/deactivate it: Video=>Blitter options=>Advanced settings=>Force 16-bit emulation

PS: obviously the computer screen bitdepth must be set on 32 bit, but today it's the default setting on 99% of PCs.

Here is my favorite edition addition added to FBAlpha so far, it has free shaking in attract mode. 

That's right, free shaking in attract mode.

It's a "dangerous edition" for a cabinet coin-op... many guys might prefer to play free of charge in "shaking mode" rather than use coins to play in "arcade mode" ! :P :P

Fixed this last night. It should affect pretty much any games that use konami chips. Life is good.

Arabian Magic on Taito F3 has this buggy line down the screen during scene transitions.  I never liked that, so, it had to be fixed :) [this bug affects fbalpha and mame]

Incase you don't know what I'm talking about, watch this other video to see:

or load Arabian Magic in FBAlpha .40 and start a game...

best regards,

A small, but "irritating" bug/glitch... excellent work! :)

To clear things up, did the original game suffer from this or not? In other words, is that a hack or a proper fix?

Taito F3 video fixes, volume #2.

Arabian Magic Cut-Scene text.  (This text is missing in nearly every emulation of the game.)

Nice. Funny that emulators would have the exact same bugs. Is that due to shared code, or maybe certain things the game does that tend to fail the same way even if the source issue is different?
