Awesome work Dink or should I call you Dink the Magician

[synnchan]

Thank you so much for the hard work.

[dink]

thanks for the awesome feedback

[dink]

Unfortunately Bump & Jump (aka Burnin' Rubber) and Joyful Road (aka Munch Mobile) were broken in this last release of FBAlpha.  Sorry about that, guys!  They have been fixed, though, and will be in the next version.



best regards,

err... I don't know where to post this so I guess I will post it here.

I found a bug on the Japanese version of the Sailor Moon beat'em up. Basically, after clearing Stage 2, some dialogue is supposed to show up, but it doesn't. I made a short video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ggnbJBPrcs

As you can see, some dialogue is obviously exchanged between the two characters, but the dialogue boxes are empty.

The dialogue seems to only exist on the JP version, btw (romname = sailormnj).

synnchan thanks for the report!

Taito's Super Chase finally has proper soundfx/music in FBAlpha!!!
It took literally ages of work to get this going right.

There's only a little work needed to get the game 100% - proper analogue inputs need to be set up, but that's no problem - I'll save it for tomorow

I attached a savestate file to simplify the check...

The bug seems to concern the writes and the frames of the dialogue boxes (hereunder some comparison screenshots, "FBA Vs MAME" )

Obviously, it also happens in sailormnoj ROM.

add this under the P2 Coin line:
   {"P2 Start",      BIT_DIGITAL,   DrvJoy2 + 7,   "p2 start"   },

By the way, i forgot to mention this, but we had to remove this from fbalpha-libretro (the game will hang at a screen saying "test switch is still on please release it or repair" with it).

barbudreadmon,
I totally forgot - whenever an input is changed, the dip offsets need to be updated too. (sorry!)

Put it back then change all the 0x11's in the first column of the asterix dips to 0x12. fyi: 0x12 is the number (starting at 0) of the DrvDips line in the inputs.

Does this look correct dink..

static struct BurnDIPInfo AsterixDIPList[]=
{
   {0x12, 0xff, 0xff, 0x04, NULL      },

   {0   , 0xfe, 0   ,    2, "Service Mode"   },
   {0x12, 0x01, 0x04, 0x04, "Off"      },
   {0x12, 0x01, 0x04, 0x00, "On"      },
};

EDIT yeah the above did the trick after i removed all previous saved files for this game.

[barbudreadmon]

That's what i did and it seems to work.

Thanks dink !

PS : what i feared happened, so i'll try to take a look at youknowwhat in the next few days
