IPS Configuration bug:
When I config the game ips,  sometimes Fba create ini files of other game in directory config/ips after select ips or click deselect all.

About Load Game Dialogs:
I have adjusted load game dialog,  bug when I deselect filters or change options, It changes small auto after I open load game dialogs again.

The hardware tab stays with unchecked box while every submenu box is checked. Kinda weird thing.

A question here! When I ran for first time FBA it want to scan for roms, it takes damn too long, the scanning usually takes too long.  I don't know why that happens. Is there anyway to improve this?
So... I'm totally not sure if this suggestions may come in help as far as I don't know how the scan
works actually.

When I got 10 games and add one more to the directory it doesnt need to scan every hardware, it should scan only under checked hardware in the list and skip the rest. I mean I check pgm but uncheck everything else... so the scan will just skip everything and check only pgm system then.

Also another thing.
For example if I don't have neogeo.zip or pgm.zip the emulator can check first for bioses and exclude the hardware with missing bioses, just will skip that neogeo or pgm roms from the scan, theres no point to scan for roms when you got your bioses missing. Or well then theres can be made option to force scan even if bios is missing so to see if the roms are correct.

Macro input:
Some neogeo games need to use macro input. eg. King of Fighters, Street Fighter, Samurai Shodown and so on. But macro input is supported by neogeo.

Name isn't usd utf8:
Turma da M鬾ica na Terra dos Monstros (Bra) -> Turma da Mônica na Terra dos Monstros (Bra)

It is wrong that samsho5, samsho5b, samsho5h year display 2003. 2004 is correct.

Thanks for your correction.

Wrote a driver for Pac-Land. This game is not good. lol

some slight issues with this game certain sound fx and in level game music is missing any chance this could be sorted
for pacland fans like me

  cannot go beyond the calendar on ddp2, I get a message  "27 EXPIRED XXXXX CMD ID:01 K:01 R:0" with XXXXX being an incremental counter...

It also happens on real hardware, what exactly causes this error?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'll take a look. I'm really bad with sound though. I'm a bit tone deaf and have little attention for detail (this is why beta testers like JackC, for example, are a huge asset to the FBA project).

That's related to the protection device on the cart. "27" refers to ASIC27A -- the ARM7 cpu on the cartridge. What it means is that the 68k and arm7 aren't communicating properly.
If this happens on the cart normally that means igs did some shitty bug testing or that something is off with your cart. lol

I figured it out earlier today. The oscillator that drives the onboard 68k is also used for the ARM. From the oscillator the signal is split then goes to a 22ohm resistor then to the ARM clock in. On my board the 22ohm was reading at 330ohm so I replaced it and the error is gone.
