Noticed the sound is a little screwed with some of the new Taito Z drivers, sound is put all on one speaker and very loud. also the gunsmoke driver does not run, just freezes on a black screen, maybe its because its compiled with VCC?

also noted at main site.

Great to finally see raiden :D

I think the gunsmoke issue is related to the inlining of the bankswitch routine (I really need to figure out how to make the VC tools install without crashing horribly).

Either way, some really nice work Treb & Kev!

Nice work, still getting the NeoGeo input bug though. Sigh.

Gunsmoke works fine here. The inlining of the function shouldn't be a problem in itself. The previous problems were because the same function name existed in various drivers without being declared static. I would suspect a rom issue or similar for the gunsmoke problem because all builds work here.

It doesn't work for me either in the VC build (not in my vc build either).  I'm working on it right now.

*edit*
Not related to the inlining
*edit 2*
Not related to the rom load...
*edit 3*
OK, I'm at a loss as to why it's not working.  The game uses up all the cpu cycles, but never reads/writes to the handlers.  Curiouser and Curiouser!

Btw, VC 2008 is sloowww as dog turds. Any suggestions on how to make it take less than 3 minutes for every compile?

Turn on symbols in the makefile. :) Although I think the VC makefile needs tidying with proper support for VC2008.

I use visual studio 2008 for building FBA. It takes a few mins on the first build but after that it will do an incremental build which only recompiles the files you have changed. There must be some way to turn that on in the VC2008 makefile, I would assume.

Also, nice work on Tatio Z Treble, I had not played Chase HQ for aaaages. :)

HMMM, Gunsmoke works for me. I have to switch FBA Video options to:Select blitter/experimantal. :biggrin:
Added my fba system information, maybe it helped

All blitters work fine for me in all builds so I'm not sure where the issue is.

Gun Smoke ONLY works using the DX9 Blitter here, and then the comad games are flipped.
