Why does some game Recording Feature not work?
« on: April 13, 2023, 06:41:54 PM »
Some work in some games. But in others it fails miserably! It's very random.

Why does it happen?

Does it only work with older games? What am I doing wrong? Replay of some games just doesn't work and Gameplay is broken in the middle.

Example: I play a game until the gym. In the recording a game starts well, and for example in the third fight the character starts to make no sense and loses the fight and Game Over (but i finished the game before).

Hi,
It could be a problem in FBNeo - whenever I find a game that loses sync in playback, I'll fix it.  Well, I need your help:  when you find a game that does this, please tell the game name/romset name and attach the recording file here.  If you'd like to keep your recordings private, send me a PM with the files.  I can fix it the same day usually!

Here's some tips to get better recordings:

That's exactly what happens.

Thanks for the clarification so it's an emulator problem and not an incorrect use.

Can you tell me the games that fail to play back?  I can fix them.

A lot of the systems are pretty solid though, it's usually the more obscure things that need a fix. 

For example, these systems are capable of recording a game from beginning to end without an issue:
NeoGeo, PGM, CPS1,2, NES, SMS, Kaneko Suprnova (cyvern), Cave cv-1000, Sega System 32, Sega C2
if you have trouble with any of those, be sure to check out the recording tips link here:

Thanks,
Popeye and Silver Millenium were fixed back in January, I'll work on the others and post back here when there ready.

You can always get the latest exe's for windows here:
https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/releases/tag/latest
Just unzip and copy over your old exe
