massive   You guys rock, I mean it  

iq_132, that would be great, v.Blockbrk/SaruKani seems like it would be a fun game with some sort of emulation for the paddle input.

Cyvern is the reason I bothered with Supernova in the first place - (its one of my favorite shooters with awesome dark/symphonicish music)

With Sengeki Striker, I had high expectations for this game, I told myself that I wouldn't play it until I got it working in FBA, and when I finally got it working I was kinda disapointed.  The music is kinda irritating.  Don't get me wrong, it is a good game, I just thought it would be better than it is.  The reason Sengeki Striker took so long to get working was due to a bug in the SH-2 cpu implementation.  And the other games (other than Cyvern) started working properly after I fixed up the irq's to get the music in Sengeki Striker working right. 

Puzzloop, it plays like Bust-A-Move aka Puzzle Bobble, Guts'n is kinda like Dr.Mario, VS. Block Breaker/SaruKani, another breakout-type game, I'm not too sure about SenKnow, it seems like a cross between Tetris and Pipe Dream (a C64 game).  Theres a couple of Mahjong games, too.....

Dink, your own ports ??  impressive !!!

[dink]

vbt, iq_132 did the driver about 5 years ago, but it was held back due to some show-stopping cpu bugs.

iq_132 and dink have made an impressive and awesome job on supernova driver  !!!

awesome, we now have 100% perfect music in Sol Divide!!  I'm excited about this, as I didn't think I'd ever come up with a solution.

Hi all,

I got error message ''Couldn't initialize DirectDraw7/ Direct3D7 Enhanced video output module'' with FBA 0.2.97.30.

XP build on XP
XP build or NT6 build (no 64) on Win7.

no problem in games but just to launch the interface (or to select a filter other than 3D Hardware and AdvanceMame).

A possible connection with the previous pages?

(system 100% up to date, dx/vc++ etc...)

Have you tried deleting the ini? Given you are on XP, it would be fbaxp.ini.

dink made some changes in this area and you may have slightly strange ini values conflicting with the changes.

I have retried with a new install, same 

[dink]

7zxkv:
Video -> Blitter Options -> Advanced Settings -> Force 16bit mode
Alternately, try to put your desktop in 32bpp mode.

already tested...it changes nothing^^

I honestly think this is a bug, there was no problem with the previous version.

[dink]

7zxkv,
Please attach a zipped fba*.ini that causes this problem. (I tried, but can't reproduce the problem)
