I noticed that you added the Namco's Warp Warp driver... would it be possible to add the drivers for other Namco's i8080 games? (Bomb Bee, Cutie Q, Gee Bee, Kaitei Takara Sagashi, Navalone and SOS)
Thanks a lot for your work! :)
I second that!

Gab75, I'm afraid you have used up all your driver requests until 2018 ;)

For everyone else, Kaitei, Navarone and Cutieq are at least somewhat playable.

Last night a friend had alerted me to some issues in the Capcom Commando driver:
*occasional flickering crap at the bottom of the screen
*music wasn't in sync with the game
*some sound effects were totally wrong (f.ex: heli landing/taking off noise)

All of these issues have been fixed.  The [boring] details/fix list:
sprite buffering had to be moved to vbl irq, instead of at the end of the frame.
the FM timers were not running at all, [oops! :)]
some small adjustments to timing.

Classics need lovin' too :)

Recent small changes/fixes to FBA..
Pirate Ship Higemaru: Improved timing.  fixes & improves the sound/music and gets rid of slowdowns.  Changed the inputs to 4-way mode.

Ghosts and Goblins: Changed the sprite buffering timing, this fixes the problem where the gravestones jiggle as Arthur walks.

A joint-effort between iq_132 and dink: create generalized joystick processing code -> convert to 4way, convert to active=low, clear opposites.  Also compile the inputs in a nice fashion.

Son Son: fixed a sprite-wrapping issue that caused some sprites to get cut-off near the edges of the screen.

Commando: Improve sfx & music by actually running the fm timers, fix occasional ghost-sprite-garbage at the bottom of the screen by tweaking the sprite buffering timing.

Properly clone-ize the Coleco driver (aka fix parent/clone relationships)

Roc 'n Rope: Fix savestates

Lower the PSG volume for Neogeo, fixes the irritating beeping noise in Zupapa.  Funny coincidence - a similar change got checked in for MAME a day after I checked this in.  No joke :)  I had to check the logs just to see, great minds think alike... or, play the same game and get irritated by that annoying beeping sound ;)

that's all for now..

Just a small update today: some of the ay8910 soundfx in Nemesis & Gradius never sounded right to me, but I could never figure out the cause of the problem.  today, after a bit of experimenting, I found that some of the commands to the 8910 were getting skipped - thus causing certain sfx to sound weird/bad.  Well, another problem solved - woohoo! :)
edit: ... a bit later on... noticed a slight video glitch in Nemesis every so-often.  easily fixed by correcting the vbl timing.

best regards,

So, in the next version of FBA - Ken-go aka Lightning Swords will actually be playable.  The game itself was fixed several months ago but I forgot to set it for non-debug builds - oops!  Also, thanks to the great system11 (and JacKc for adding it to FBA), it'll play Lightning Swords as well.

Earlier tonight Zazzone alerted me to a bug in Snow Bros - Nick and Tom, theres some pretty horrible slowdown later on in the game - and - especially during boss fights.  I used my frame-timing-fu move and all is well.  it ended well too.  Zazzone tested and approved.

that's all for today..

The next FBA will have an option to record an avi video of your game(s)!

This feature was ported over from FBA Plus and improved a little bit with flipped screen support, less leaky avi handles, pixel doubling and more :)
