Hi guys,
this is a topic dedicated to the game consoles/home computers... in other words, I'll only treat the games for the home systems already emulated by FBN.
Currently the home systems emulated by FBN are:
ColecoVision
MSX (first generation)
NEC PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16/SuperGrafx
Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicom
Nintendo Famicom Disk System
SEGA SG-1000
SEGA Master System/Mark III
SEGA Game Gear
SEGA Megadrive/Genesis
Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K/128K (.z80, .tap)
SNK NeoGeo Pocket (standard and Color)
-
The first post is related to the English Translated version of Megadrive "Madou Monogatari I" (Sorcery Saga I)... now this "dungeon crawler" RPG by Compile is fully playable in english language! ;)
This is the link to the ips translation file: https://www.romhacking.net/translations/5388/
-
This game was added by barbudreadmon... RetroSouls' Gluf, a very funny action-puzzle game for Megadrive! ;)
Here the link to the official website: https://retrosouls.itch.io/gluf-16bit
-
Now it's the turn of PC-Engine:
- Atlantean (a "Defender" style game) [ http://aetherbyte.com/aetherbyte-atlantean_for_pc-engine_and_turbografx-16.html ]
- City Hunter (English Translation) [ https://www.romhacking.net/translations/4517/ ]
- Maison Ikkoku (English Translation) [ https://www.romhacking.net/translations/724/ ]
-
Gab75, very nice additions! Thanks :)
-
New additions by dink... ;)
NES/Famicom:
- all Famista games (from '89 to '94). Family Stadium is a series of baseball games released by Namco in Japan.
- Fantastic Adventure of Dizzy, the
- International Cricket
PC-Engine
- R-type part2 v1.1
-
This time is the turn of MSX... 5 new homebrew games (MSXdev Contest) added to the roster! ;)
Draconic Throne (horizonal shoot'em up)
Linez (puzzle game)
Quartet (puzzle game)
Xracing (racing, top-view)
XSplelunker (platform game)
PS: I added the initials "HB" to all MSX homebrew games, now identify them in the FBN "Select Game" menu should be easier.
-
XRacing is quite an amazing feat - it manages to do smooth scrolling on a computer+vdp that is incapable of doing smooth scrolling :) It's also a fun little racing game with a nice soundtrack.
Thanks for taking the time to add these, Gab75!
best regards,

You're welcome! :)
Among other things, Xracing was the winner of MSXDev'18 Contest... probably it's the best (or one of the best) top-view racing game on MSX 1 !
PS: this game brings to my mind the "legendary" Gremlin's Super Cars (I played a lot with the Amiga version) ! ;)

Looking forward to trying Xracing out. I am a big fan of top down car games :)

I'm sure that you will not be disappointed... as dink wrote, this game has a very smooth scrolling (a rare feature for the MSX 1 games) ;)
-
5 new NES/Famicom homebrew games added by dink... :)
- Che-man (a funny and "strange" platform game)
- EeeAaaOoo (not a real game, but a peculiar "tech-demo")
- FallingTiles (a Zapper light-gun game)
- Machine Caves (a Thrust style game)
- Wolfling (a very nice platform game, IMHO the best of the "lot")
-
Now back to the MSX... I added two puzzle games made by RetroSouls: Twinlight and Yazzie
http://www.retrosouls.net/?page_id=957
-
After playing MSX Yazzie, I love this version! Much better than the Megadrive - I think the 8 bit nature suits this game better. (My opinion, of course!)
best regards,
- dink

IIRC the game was born on ZX Spectrum (the MSX version should be the same), the Megadrive version, with the scrolling background and the bigger sprites, is a "reinterpretation" ... when you say "worse is better" ! :P :)
-
The genre infos have been updated for all SEGA Master System and Game Gear games... I hope it might be to help! :)
Moreover I added 3 new titles in the Game Gear roster... one HB game and two translation hacks.
Dangerous Demolition (HB)
Godzilla - Kaijuu Daishingeki (english translation)
Madou Monogatari iii - Kyuukyoku Joou-Sama (english translation)
-
I love games that have the amazing innovation of that was around in the early 80s.
Dangerous Demolition looks simple, but its actually a totally new take on an old genre: Breakout.
Kinda like a breakout shoot-em-up. But, you're a little guy that runs around with a shooter instead of the paddle :D
best regards,
- dink
-
Now it's the turn of four Megadrive homebrews... ;)
Custodian (Atari ST porting of the homonymous title)
Griel's Quest for the Holy Porron (a sequel/evolution of MSX Griel's Quest for the Sangraal)
Wolfenstein 3D (probably the first popular FPS, this version is very smooth considering the "simple" megadrive hardware)
Zooming Secretary (a simple, but funny, action-puzzle game)
-
MSX stuff... 2 "old" european games and 5 "new" homebrew games! ;)
Buddhagillie
Oh Mummy!!
Operation Wolf (Ocean ed.)
Subcommander
Tales of Popolon
Uchusen Gamma
Yiazzie Remastered
-
A big thanks to the work of iq_132 (with the help of dink)... now the Neo Geo Pocket (B&W and Color) is emulated by FBNeo !
Hereunder some snapshots... ;)
-
Similarly to Master System/Game Gear "rosters", the genre infos have been updated for all SG-1000 games! :)
There's a shortage of homebrew games for this system... so I was able to add only two new homebrews to the list (by Mojon Twins):
Cheril Perils Classic
Jet Paco
-
Six new MSX games are emulated by FBN (5 homebrews and 1 old european release):
Dot Attack (shooter 2 players only)
Guru Logic (puzzle game)
Majikazo (maze/puzzle game)
Tina's Adventure Island (platform game)
Traffic Jam (puzzle game)
Xybots (ZX Spectrum conversion)
-
Very cool these console games. I never player NeoGeo Pocket before. So, I will do it now!
-
Tina's Adventure Island is really great, definitely one for WonderBoy fans. I played this almost an hour yesterday!
Enjoy :)
-
Tina's Adventure Island >> Hudson's Adventure Island >> Wonder Boy
... a sort of "videogaming love triangle" ! :P
-
4 new NES/Famicom homebrews added by dink! ;)
Aspect Star N
Blood Fall
Super Homebrew War
Veggie Invasion

Greetings, Gab75 and dink and whomever else is in this thread and site reading this!:)
I joined on Dink's suggestion. I will be doing a showcase video of all of the Coleco Additions. Due to the simple fact that my childhood dream of getting a C64 was bursted by getting an ADAM computer, instead...I now have nostalgia for ADAM/Coleco:) But, it all worked out! I still got to enjoy C64, truly for the first time, within just the last few years! I had some great fun with Coleco/ADAM, and even Atari 2600 games, which also worked with the Coleco Add-On Peripheral for ADAM. I definitely had a lot of fun with it, and played the hell out of Buck Rogers SGM and Dragon's Lair SGM. When Dink added Dragon's Lair SGM to FBNEO, it was like Xmas for me. Literally, the one single game in all of existence that I wanted to play again! Of course, I also thank Team Pixelboy and whomever else for the nice conversion! We just need the SGM of Donkey Kong, some day, some how!
Will follow-up when my video is done and posted! And, also enjoying seeing the other homebrews and such added for the other systems, NES, MSX, etc. And, as I told Dink, I used to dread even hearing the word homebrew! It takes a good one to get my attention! Abobo's Big Adventure was the true first one to show me they could be fun!
I may add the Bubble Bobble and DK Hacks to my MAME 2003 Xtreme Core, as I haven't really added many of those yet. They have been surprisingly gimmicky and cool, between the two subsets. My biggest concerns were fixing up games that had control issues, which I did in my last Release. Over 100 games had predesignated controls that were on a keyboard (useless for pick up and play with a controller), such as Xybots, Ikari Warriors, etc. I wanted ALL of these to default use L1/R1, which worked out great! Arcadez2003 and Grant2258 and Gpstar and BigBlueFrontEnd have all been really cool when it comes to working with MAME, collaboration wise. Sometimes, it isn't just the homebrews or hacks that get my attention...But, also games it seems almost noone even knew existed, such as the spiritual sequel to Strider, made by the same devs, Cannon Dancer AKA Osman. Quite an interesting game to check out.
Be back in a bit with the video showing some of these fun ventures in action. Fruits of the labor, so to speak:)
-
Welcome KMFDManic! :)
The homebrews help to keep alive the old consoles/computers. Some years ago I was quite wary toward them, I thought (wrongly) that they had a very poor quality level in most cases... I'm happy to say (write) the facts proved me wrong! ;)
-
I added the support to 4 new Megadrive homebrew games:
Beggar Prince (English version)
Cascade
Puzzli v1.1
Magic Girl featuring Ling Ling the little Witch (English version)
-
Awesome Job Gab75. I have a ColecoVision Homebrew Video Uploading now. Just refresh my channel and you will probably see it pop up in an hour or so. It will be Playstation Classic - ColecoVision Homebrew FTW!:) I go through all the games that worked for me! Video is a little longer than my normal ones. But, it was fun going through a good 40 games. I will do more of these, and move onto showcasing the other fun stuff like PC-Engine, MD, etc, that are also FBNEO worthy:) Thanks again, both you and dink!

PS: I never played to the ColecoVision version of Dragon's Lair, but from what I see it's very similar to the C64 version. During the 80s I played a lot with the CBM version, I still remember that I demolished, literally speaking, a "poor joystick"... "childlike aggressiveness" ! :P

-
Very cool. However, "Afterburner (Euro)" doesn't work properly here. After you choose controls it's supposed to load from the start of side B,and I don't think it's doing so.
-
Neville,
Do you go to dips (ctrl-f5, or via mouse) and select side b for tape?
-

As dink wrote, you need to go into DIPswitch settings (ctrl+f5) and select side B for tape... moreover, for a proper functioning, the operation must be done when appears the first notice (see the following snapshot) ;)
-
I didn't know I had to do that. In that case, forget what I said earlier, and thanks for the tip.

Hello friends,
There are 2 really amazing games in this batch:
From Below - it's Tetris, but with a twist - the octopus throws blocks up on the screen if you're too slow at clearing lines, the music is great, the game is great, it goes between day/night/seasons. Super polished game.
Nim & Nom - you jump around and eat things, it's really addicting as well as cute :)
Some people like to avoid homebrews, but these are really commercial-quality - check it out!
best regards,
- dink

Some years ago I was one of those "who liked to avoid homebrews"... of course, there're lousy homebrews, but there're excellent homebrews too... in some cases, they reach a higher quality level than many old commercial games ! ;)

Thanks Gab! Bug Hunt is a funny game :)
-
Added this one a few weeks ago but forgot to mention it, it's a homebrew named tronow on megadrive (yes, it's based on tron), it supports up to 4 players. I guess you could consider the gameplay as similar to snake
-
A small add for MSX (one new homebrew)... but a great game (an evolution of Gradius/Nemesis with a smooth scrooling!)
The Menace from Triton (Brain Games, 2020)
-
There's one small problem with "The Menace from Triton". The driver expects v1.0, but a bugfix has already appeared at https://github.com/santiontanon/triton/releases

(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/df/AirZonk.jpg)
Air Zonk, unfortunately doesn't work in FBN's PCE implementation. I'm positive it has to do with interrupt timing, but I was never able to iron it out.
-
I tried many many times, no luck getting Air Zonk to work, but I will try again sometime!

-
I didnt know about that. I just thought it was a forgotten title, but how can one forgot a classic like this one.
-
Four new entries for the MSX roster (three 2020 homebrews and one old cassette game) + Block Puzzle update (v1.2):
Anchors Aweigh v1.1 (HB)
Chambers of Thyrea (HB)
Freddy Hardest (1987)
Freedom Fighter (HB)
-
SMS Psychic World v1.2 enhancement hack (added by dink).
This hack adds double-tap left/right to run and other enhancements... ;)
-
NES Jay and Silent Bob Mall Brawl... a very good scrolling beat'em up (indie HB, 2020).
-
Jay and Silent Bob: Mall Brawl looks pretty nice and fun, but I thought we had a rule not to support games that just got released to avoid undermining their sales.
-
Stifu, good question, earlier this year the rule has been overturned due to the simple facts:
One can buy these homebrew roms and play it on any nes emulator, why not fbn?
fbn supporting recent homebrews has lead to people finding a good game and supporting it.
best regards,
- dink

FBN supports the game, the users can buy the game/ROM and use FBN to play with it... this also applies to all copyrighted games (Capcom, Konami, Nintendo, Sega, Taito, etc...)
-
Yep, times are changing (for the best) - where one can now purchase a game and have legitimate access to the rom, that's a good thing. :)
-
9 new games (homebrews and/or portings) for the ColecoVision roster... and soon other additions! ;)

I have some questions regarding ColecoVision games... how do you enter "coins" in Mario Bros.? And how you can map the "menu" key for another game?
-
Neville,
regarding Mario Bros: they made it similar to arcade emulation - '5' then '1' :)
What other game(s) are you referring to?
ColecoVision games are sometimes hard to figure out, but if you can't get a game to start or accept input, try pressing all of the keys that the p1 controller has (0-9, # or *)
Some games that use a trackball / dial needs P2's keypad to start it and/or enter the level of difficulty.

Mmmm... the "Mario" thing doesn't seem to work here. I'm using FBNeo Git 13-08-2020 x64. Do I need to remap anything?
EDIT: Got it, you need to remap "1" and "5" to their respective keys. Now it works.

Oh, and the other game I was referring to is "Super Sketch":
(https://i.imgur.com/qsMJz0Q.png)
-
Relating to Mario Bros, you need to go into "Map Game Inputs" menu (F5) and assign a keyboard/joypad input to each entry of the virtual keypad (the original ColecoVision joypad embeds a numeric keypad). After doing that, you can press key/button corresponding to numeric keypad button 5 (insert coin) and key corresponding to numeric keypad button 1 (start game).
EDIT:
Relating to Super Sketch, probably the trouble is that it uses a CV device not supported by FBN... see the video:

-
Yes, thank you. I finally figured out "Mario Bros." by myself. Thanks for the tips.
-
In these days I lost (just a little :P ) count... in any case various ColecoVision games have been added to the roster! :)
-
Hi guys... four new HB games added to NES roster:
Cheril in the Cave
Nix: the Paradox Relic v1.8
Rollie
Shark Shark (Mattel Intellivision porting)

I remember playing Shark! Shark! a ton as a kid, what a great game :)

Hi. Could you add Gba support on FB Neo in future?
-
Hi. Could you add Gba support on FB Neo in future?
As said many times, we don't accept hardware request. So no gba, neither the ones you previously asked (MSX2, Amstrad Gx4000, C64, Super Cassette Vision, ...).
-
We accept requests for games on consoles that are already emulated :)

Would it be possible to add some more ZX Speccy games, possibly from a YS Top-100 list or something similar?
Here are some titles that I'd love to see supported, but are currently missing from the .dat file:
The Monty series (Aufwiedersehen Monty, Impossamole, Monty On The Run, Wanted Monty Mole)
Beyond The Ice Palace
Castlevania Spectral Interlude (a relatively new one)
Cauldrons 1 and 2
CJ Elephant Antics, CJ in the USA
Cybernoid 1 and 2
Dynamite Dan 1 and 2
Elven Warrior
Exolon
Fred
Game Over 1 and 2
HATE
Heart Broken
Heartland
Highway Encounter
Into The Eagle's Nest
Joe Blades
Metal Army
Myth - History in the Making
Nebulus
The Olli & Lissa series
Rex
Rick Dangerous 2
Saboteur 1 and 2
Savage
The Seymour series
Soldier of Fortune
St. Dragon
Stop The Express
Stormlord 1 and 2
Tetris (the Mirrorsoft one)
Three Weeks In Paradise
Trantor
On a side note, would it also be possible to add a TZX/TAP file as a possible rom for each game, seeing that those are the formats distributed on World of Spectrum and suchlike?
-
Hi Svipur,
the ZX Spectrum is in a preliminary emulation stage (currently it's not under development), it supports only .Z80 ROMs and many games don't work...
if it helps, in the last few days many new Coleco Vision games have been added and they work perfectly! ;)
-
Cheers, Gab. Yeah, I've been monitoring that one as well, and it does make up for the limited Speccy support somewhat.
But my particular point of interest in this case is FBNeo's support for specific ZX Speccy games. If the .z80 format is non-negotiable, I'd be willing to compromise on that one, as long as we can think of a relatively reliable source of CRC-matching .z80 images (ease of obtaining games was the primary reason I mentioned World of Spectrum and the support for .tap/.tzx images).
How do I go about expanding the list of supported ZX Speccy games in the .dat file? I can make the respective .z80 images for testing purposes, if that might help.
-

To add (or at least try to add) new games You should manually edit the d_spectrum.cpp file (with the specific metadatas and infos of the game/s) and after that compile your own FBNeo exe...
https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/tree/master/src/burn/drv/spectrum
... but I'll be straight with you, (IMHO) at the current stage of development "the job is not worth it"... ;)
-
Gab75,
I fixed up the spectrum emulator, it's now perfectly good for playing games in - as long as it's in the correct format :)

Yes, but a ZX Spectrum emulation without the support for the TZX/TAP files is a "limited" emulation... this is just my personal opinion and it doesn't take anything away from your nice work! :)
-
Cheers, lads.
For what it's worth, I made a pull request for d_spectrum.cpp with a bunch of games using CRCs from publicly available sources of .z80 images. The choice is somewhat limited given the .z80 requirement, but my take on it is that we can at least populate the list with the popular stuff that works.
-
Svipur, thanks! :)
-
Thanks for the ADDs! :)

A new RetroSouls "classic" is now available on Megadrive... AlterEgo Remastered, a funny action-puzzle game originally made for the ZX Spectrum.
-
Could you add the demo of the Phantom-Gear and other new demo games from megadrive?
-

Sincerely, I don't like add the support for the demo of the games (I prefer wait for the "full releases")... but that's just my point of view! :)

I have a few ZX Spectrum requests... I don't know how many of these are possible, because I understand a Z80 file is needed.
Many games are in TZX and/or TAP format... but if you can find the "memory snapshot" versions (.Z80), we'll be able to add the related support! :)
-
Gab75, it looks like Svipur is now in charge of the ZX Spectrum games - or at least, he said he is willing to add Neville's req's :)

I'd be willing to provide Z80 for some of those... I understand most Spectrum emulators can save in that format. On the downside, I'm not very skilled and some of those games are multi-load, I don't know if a Z80 of those would cover the whole game.
-
... On the downside, I'm not very skilled and some of those games are multi-load, I don't know if a Z80 of those would cover the whole game.
I'm sorry, I know little about .Z80 format... in theory a "snapshot file format" can also support multi-load softwares (e.g. in VICE, a Commodore's 8 bit computers emulator, in the snapshot format "VSF" it's possible save the complete disk image too), but for the .Z80 format I don't know.
-
You already have some multi-load games in the set, but I think it's because 128k machines could load all levels at the same time.
-
I believe only SLT snapshots can do multi-loaders, saving each block in a separate segment within one snapshot. Spectaculator also has SZX snapshots - which are basically memory snapshots with an embedded TAP file. But with Z80 snapshots I see no feasible way to include multi-loaders.
Now, having said that, some of those I categorise as multi-parters (where each part can be loaded independently of others, often expecting you to enter a code to prove you've completed the previous parts, e.g. Savage, Rex, Phantis, Navy Moves, etc.) - and those we can still include, treating each part as a separate game. For some, albeit rarely, there's a uniloader available (e.g. Wacky Races).
The types of games I can't find a way to include are:
1. Those that load levels only when prompted by the game - this rules out most of the racing stuff, including all Out Runs, Enduro, Paris-Dakar, etc., as well as e.g. Myth, Gremlins 2 and Lorna.
2. Those that load up the main game only after the player has set up the game to his liking - e.g. changed the controls, or chose the character (WWF Wrestlemania), etc. We could in theory dump the rom after said selection (as was done with Vindicators previously, where the game would just drop you into action without letting you set up the ship, weapons, controls, anything), but that would lock any player out of changing anything, and that would render the game unplayable for most.
Currently, from your list these are the ones I can't find uniloaders for, and have to exclude from adding support for:
Desperado 1 and 2
Gremlins 2
Lorna
Mad Mix 2
Narco Police
New Zealand Story
North & South
Out Run
Out Run Europe
Paris-Dakar
Perico Delgado
Soviet
Silent Shadow
Tour '91
Turbo Out Run
Viaje al Centro de la Tierra
WWF Wrestlemania
Zona 0
If you can find a uniloader rom for any of those, drop me a note, I'll look into it. It pains me to no end to leave out Lorna (or, for that matter, Myth).
-
(Sobs quietly against his pillow)
It's fine, really. I understand the Z80 format has its limitations and there are many other ZX Spectrum emulator to choose.
But a man can dream, and I dream of the day when the Spectrum emulation under FBN can load TAP, TZX and why not, DSK files.
-
The good news is: sometime in the future I will be able to add support for a better format to allow for those games to function properly. It's probably not too much harder than fds for nintendo - and I wrote that from scratch. the code for my fds I/O even made it into fceux. fds looks like a disk, it quacks like a disk, but in reality - it's a tape. (as far as the computer is concerned)
best regards,
- dink
-
Looks like the batch is merged and good to go. Cheers, Dink.
Just a quick note regarding Abu Simbel Profanation. The English version (as is the case with the original Spanish releases) requires switching to Issue 2 keyboard. Otherwise, the game won't register you pressing any of the numbered keys to choose the controls and start the game. The included Spanish version is a re-release, and that one works fine without any fiddling.
-
Svipur,
thanks :)
I set Abu Simbel to use issue2 hw by default.
(delete config/games/spec_abusimpr.ini and then load the game if you loaded it prior)
best regards,
- dink
-
I've been browsing the new Spectrum additions, taking pictures and whatnot. Extraordinary job, mates! Now all I need is a rubber USB keyboard to complete the experience ;-)
I had an Amstrad CPC (boooo!) back in those days, but it's hard not to like the ZX clearer graphics, and even the color patterns have their charm. But don't tell any of those speccy fans I said that.
EDIT: A couple of things I noticed while going through the Spectrum game list: 1) "Barbarian" should have different entries for the Palace and the Psygnosis releases, because they are completely different games. And also, "Game Over II" is actually called "Phantis". It was renamed as GOII in the UK to capitalise on the success of the first GO. So it should be called "Phantis (a.k.a. Game Over II)" or similar.
-
Yeah, the entries for both Barbarians were there, but the Palace one was marked as a clone of the Psygnosis one. I separated and renamed both (the Palace one's full name has 'Ultimate Warrior' in it) without touching anything else, so no updates to romsets needed.
Regarding Phantis, I personally had that one as Game Over II, only learning about the original title many years later, so I used that name under the impression that it'd make the game easier to find for others. But then again, the game did originally come out as Phantis, so I might be in the minority. Renamed it to Phantis (Game Over II) - again, no need to update any romsets.
Threw in a nice 2010 game called Sea Dragon (seeing that it's almost October, and this is as close to Hunt for Red October as it gets, with an excellent AY version of Das Boot to... boot. Pun intended).
-
Cool :cool:
And I have a few more requests of various stuff for the ZX... hope you don't mind, because I know my previous list was HUGE.
- AMC: Astro Marine Corps
- Capitan Trueno
- Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu Warrior
- Double Dragon I-II (if possible, I think they're multi-load)
- Goody
- Ice Breaker
- IK+: International Karate Plus
- Mortadelo y Filemon 2
- Mundial de futbol
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
- Test Drive II
- Tintin on the Moon
- Turbo Cup
- Vigilante
-
Capitan Trueno, Mundial de Futbol, and Mot are in. (What happened to Mot? I'm not seeing it on the list any more.)
Also, FBN does support two Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles games already (the side platformer one with top-down roaming in between stages and the infamous jump in the sewers, as well as the arcade beat-em-up one). Is there a separate game named TMNT as opposed to TMHT?
I'll try to get to the others tomorrow.
-
@Svipur: thanks for your help! :)

Svipur, Neville, Gab75,

good night,
- dink
-
Awww, thanks, Dink. Just seeing the LOAD "" brings a tear to my eye.
Got my list of multi-loaders handy, will give those a chance once TAPs are in.
Curiously, Z80 might remain the preferred format for multi-parters, so that there's no need for a tape browser and the player doesn't have to fiddle with rewinding the tape to a proper position before loading.
-
Svipur,
Of course - we'll just add the taps like we add regular romfiles for the games that need them.
Try msx_xenon, and watch how it loads - I'll most likely add that for spectrum. That's my tape robot, he's quite handy.
best regards,
- dink
-

Heh, looks pretty neat. Almost makes the startup of 48k games look quite a bit more nostalgia-inducing than 128k ones. Seeing that LOAD "" typed in and all, instead of the robot selecting the Tape Loader.

So f***ing cool!
And I wonder, rather than having a closed set, once this feature is finished, could we have a blank setup that lets you run anything from your collection? Or is it too much work to add a file selector to the dip switches? I know, I know, I keep asking for things. But this would put an end to the Spectrum requests. According to MobyGames, the system has 3305 known games, not to mention future HBs.
-
Neville, fb wasn't really designed to do that. we try to add the stuff people are going to play, if you want to just fumble through thousands of roms, one can use speccy or something. then let us know about the games that have replay value.

Excellent! Among other things, there're a lot of homebrew games in tap format! ;)
-
I just tossed up the WIP code w/tap support, some notes:
I set all the tap's to 128k, because some of them have better audio with it. or with myth, its the only way to get audio at all.
narco police: when trying to set kempston, it reads from port xxDF, this is a kempston mouse port - which the game wants. you'll need to use the (s)inclair joy interface (Intf2 in inputs editor) instead for this game.
tnzs: is there any way to select inputs for this game instead of keys? (can someone find out for me?)
Addendum: Also fixed the borders, thanks for the idea Neville :) Tomorrow I will try to clean up the code a bit and get rid of those ugly lines on the top and left side.
best regards,
- dink
-
Nice work dink :) And good work on the additions Svipur.
-
Just tried out the new TAP entries, everything seems to be working absolutely flawlessly. Thanks for the superb work, Dink!
With TAP support in place, my take is that we stick with Original Release TAPs from WoS, Spectrum Computing, etc. for new additions wherever possible, so as to make it easier for people to make the compatible ROMs themselves. Z80 will be the preferred format for those cases where each part is loaded from different positions on the same tape from Basic and not the game itself (that is, requiring you to rewind the tape BEFORE booting the game, e.g. Savage).
Will get on with adding the games from Neville's last request and the multi-loaders shortly.
My current list of multi-loaders is this (includes both those we couldn't add and those that need replacing in the current romset):
Back to the Future 3
Darius
Impossamole
Night Breed 128k
Rick Dangerous 2
Run the Gauntlet
St. Dragon
Stormlord 2
Strider 2
Super Hang-On
Vindicators
Desperado 1 and 2
Mad Mix 2
North & South
Paris-Dakar
Perico Delgado
Rescate en el Golfo
Soviet
Silent Shadow
SWIV
Tour '91
Viaje al Centro de la Tierra
WWF Wrestlemania
Zona 0
Double Dragon 1 and 2
Mortadelo y Filemon II
Oh, and regarding The New Zealand Story. The game's instructions say the game supports both Kempston and Sinclair joysticks (that is, it should recognise them when you press Fire in the main menu), but my gamepad is mapped to Kempston in all Speccy emulators, and I never could get TNZS to pick it up. Works just fine for Sinclair's Interface 2, though.
-
Addendum: Also fixed the borders, thanks for the idea Neville :) Tomorrow I will try to clean up the code a bit and get rid of those ugly lines on the top and left side.
best regards,

Glad you find my ideas useful. It didn't struck me how large the margin was until I tested the last batch of Spanish games. It seems they favored bigger sprites at the expense of screen size.
UPDATE: It's taken a while, but we can finally play many ZX games the way they were intended. "Outrun" was one of those I was more anxious to try, because the ZX Spectrum must be the only decent port until the Sega consoles came up.
(https://i.imgur.com/jvDfV2s.png)
More things... I see the new preferred ZX format is TAP. It's certainly much better than Z80, but I still think TZX should be considered or discarted in the near future. TZX is certainly the most faithful format I can think of, but adopting TZX also means (probably, I have zero programming skills) that a series of tape copy protection schemes will have to be implemented. So I'll understand if you stick to TAP for now. After all, ZX support should not be your main focus.
Also, Svipur asked yesterday about new games we may add now that TAP is supported. Double Dragon I-II, Golden Axe and WWF are the ones that come to my mind right now, but I'm sure we'll come up with more in the next days.
Terrific job, you all.
-
Thanks guys, it's nice to hear it works so good :)
Neville, TAP is good enough for what we are trying to do here.
-
Finished going through multiloaders and new requests (as well as a few more additions).
I've replaced the following existing entries:
Back to the Future 3
Castlevania (has a secret ending that loads if you beat the game 100%)
Darius
Night Breed
R-Type
Run the Gauntlet
Strider 2
SWIV
Vindicators
Apart from Neville's requests, I've also added the following gems:
Back to the Future 2 (well, this one's less of a gem and more of a 'we have BTTF 1 and 3 already, why not 2?')
Crosswize
Impossamole
Plot
Rick Dangerous 2
Robin of the Wood
Sidewize
Silent Shadow
St. Dragon
Stormlord 2
The three games I couldn't find a way to include are:
1. Super Hang-On - has speedlock.
2. Desperado 1 - conversion from TZX to TAP causes emulators to jump past the 8-byte header for the first level after loading the main menu. As a result, after starting the game, the game can't find the first level block. In other emus, this can be circumvented by rewinding back to the previous 8-byte block.
3. North & South - has speedlock.
-
Thanks guys, it's nice to hear it works so good :)
Neville, TAP is good enough for what we are trying to do here.
So be it :wink:
EDIT: A few more requests:
TMNT and TMNT: The Coin Op --> I know, we have plenty of TMNT games already. But I still think they're worthy and different enough from their console counterparts.
Super Trux --> A pretty cool truck racing game in the vein of "Out Run".
-
@Neville
Added in Super Trux and Topo's Desperado. Regarding TMNT, as I mentioned previously, we already have support for both TMNT games, but they're listed as TMHT (Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles), following WoS listings:
https://worldofspectrum.net/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005168
https://worldofspectrum.net/infoseekid.cgi?id=0005170
-
Ah, fine. My mistake then.
P.D: A downside I didn't anticipate when asking for a smaller screen margin is that now I need to redo most ZX Spectrum previews and titles... LOL
-
Neville, hehe. d'oh! well, it does look better now -- at least :)
-
Well, you shouldn't be the only busy guys around xD
EDIT: A few more ZX requests:
- Afteroids
- Humphrey
- Goody (recolored version)
- Shadow Dancer
-
@Neville
Afteroids, Humphrey, and Shadow Dancer are also in. Each uses the TAP from its respective WoS page:
Afteroids: https://worldofspectrum.net/infoseekid.cgi?id=0000105
Humphrey: https://worldofspectrum.net/infoseekid.cgi?id=0002378
Shadow Dancer: https://worldofspectrum.net/infoseekid.cgi?id=0004421
Also, if it's not too much trouble, could you post requests as new posts instead of edits to old ones, so that I didn't just stumble on them by chance? ;j
-
Sure, I'll keep that in mind. I did notice you could miss those, but it wasn't that vital. Plus I could have reminded you later.
This time the list is small, but they all are interesting titles.
Afteroids & Humphrey are two Spanish games I didn't include earlier in my requests. Afteroids is an Asteroids clone where stages ocupy more than one screen. A pretty neat game, and it also has some speech (!) while it loads.
Humphrey is a puzzle game. As usual with Spanish games of the era, it is too damn hard, but a great game nevertheless. You need to guide an alien film star (!) while he paints his new mansion, but the place is also full of annoying fans.
And Shadow Dancer... Honestly, I don't know if the ZX version is any good, but we already had Shinobi, and now that FBN can run TAP files it was only fair to add its sequel.
EDIT: Can't believe I forgot to thank you for your work... you rule, man!
-
This time, would you consider adding...?
- Golden Axe
- Airborne Ranger
- Gunship
- Project Stealth Fighter
Can't believe they actually ported MicroProse's first games to the ZX. There are more, but these three should suffice, I think.
-
Added the support for 11 homebrew games (ZX Spectrum stuff) ! ;)
Alter Ego (2011)
Danterrifik (2020)
Dreamwalker - Alter Ego 2 (2014)
Endless Forms Most Beautiful (2012)
Gluf (2019)
Jumpin' Jupiter (2020)
MultiDude (2014)
Old Tower (2019)
Sir Ababol 2 (2013)
Sir Ababol DX (2013)
Tourmaline (2014)
... there're also GraviBots and Yazzie, but these games are not working in FBN.
-
Today I only could think of a single game to request: Hostages, by Infogrames.
https://www.mobygames.com/game/zx-spectrum/hostage-rescue-mission
Perhaps more games from the same developer are worthy, but I'm not sure.
-
... other 5 homebrew games in the ZX Spectrum roster:
Cheril the Goddess
Danterrifik 2
Lost Treasures of Tulum, the
Rat-A-Tat
The Relic (La Reliqua)
-
I've joined the forum as a fan of FBNeo and its predecessor. Its really good to see the gains that have been made in recent years with an ever expanding number of talented people joining the development team.
I'd like to make a request? Could Ranarama, the Hewson game, be added to the ZX Spectrum list? Its a pretty good title that was on a number of systems back in its day.
-
Added Hostages, Ranarama, and a few more Hewson's games: Zynaps, Uridium, Netherworld, Marauder, Kraal. Also threw in Action Force 2 and Action Reflex (apparently looking for some more action).
-
...And another request from me, "Sentinel", classic strategy / puzzle.
-
@Neville
Added The Sentinel, should be good to go soon.
-
Very cool. It''s one of those I-can't-believe-we-forgot.
-
Another small ZX request:
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
- Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
- Spindizzy
-
Added Spindizzy and the two Indy Jones games: Temple of Doom and the Last Crusade. Will keep trying to squeeze in the Fate of Atlantis one, but the existing TAPs seem borked.
Also, just in case someone else gets stumped by this one: when Spindizzy asks you to press EXT to exit a menu/map, you can also press both Shift keys to do the same.
-
A small reminder of how much you rule, Svipur :biggrin:
-
10 new homebrews added to the ZX Spectrum roster:
All Hallows Rise of Pumpkin (HB)
Black & White (HB)
Circuitry 48k (HB)
Coloco (HB)
Foggy's Quest 128k (HB)
Ninjajar (HB)
Rubicon (HB)
Sector Invasion (HB)
Tenebra Macabre (HB)
Vampire Vengeance (HB)
-
Those Mojon Twins games are pretty cool. They surpase many vintage games.
Anyway, I thought of a few more Spectrum games worth adding (or maybe not, you be the judges): E.SWAT, Final Fight, Ikari Warriors, MERCS, Turrican and Turrican II.
-
Added E.SWAT, Final Fight, Ikari Warriors, MERCS, Turrican, and Turrican II.
Also threw in Licence to Kill, Tetris 2 (considered better than the well-known Mirrorsoft version), and the Magic Knight quadrilogy (Finders Keepers, Knight Tyme, Spellbound, and Stormbringer).
-
Excellent. As for the computer versions of "Tetris", I have to agree. Mirrorsoft did a pretty poor job with the conversions. PC owners later got "Super Tetris" and "Tetris Classic", but 8 bit users weren't that lucky.
-
Incase you didn't know:
NES 8bit tetris is legendary, and the new "From Below" game on nes really holds up as well as adds a new twist.

True, true. When I mentioned 8 bit users I wasn't thinking of consoles. In those days I owned a Game Boy and "Tetris" could keep me occupied for hours. The computer ports, however... :mad:
And while 16 bit users got improved ports over time and stuff like "Block Out", what did the remaining Amstrad and Spectrum users get? f***ing "Welltris" :confused:
-
eww weltris :P
well, some good news: (I spent a few days on this)
ZX Spectrum gets new 2000x oversampling buzzer-dac emulation, try it :)
best regards,
- dink
-
:biggrin:
EDIT: It sounds even cooler than I expected. What games benefit the most from this feature?

Amazing... a remarkable "overboost" for a simple 1 bit beeper! :wink:
-
:biggrin:
EDIT: It sounds even cooler than I expected. What games benefit the most from this feature?
The music menu in JetPac RX is a good example! ;)
-
Neville, the new buzzer emulation affects games using the buzzer (not the ay8910), so, for example, try:
JetpacRX
Hades Nebula
Alter Ego
now take a break and try 180 (128k) for some nice AY8910 music :)
best regards,
- dink
-
Thanks for the tips ;p
-
the new buzzer emulation affects games using the buzzer (not the ay8910), so, for example, try:
I don't know if it's possible, but it would be great to have an option in DIP switches menu to select "original buzzer emulation" and "enhanced buzzer emulation", with the "enhanced" option available by default.
I know, almost anything is possible (computationally speaking), but I mean: "if it's possible without an heavy coding work"... ;)
In any case, excellent work... the 1 bit beeper musics are amazing with the oversampling enhancement! :)
-
A few more Spectrum requests for your consideration:
- Bobby Bearing
- ISS: Incredible Shrinking Sphere
- Kong's Revenge
- Psycho Pigs UXB
-
Added Bobby Bearing, Incredible Shrinking Sphere, Kong's Revenge, and Psycho Pigs UXB.
Also added the previously removed Night Breed, Silent Shadow, and Rescate en el Golfo (all three work now).
Also threw in a bunch of goodies (most of them of the 'can't believe we missed those' variety):
Arc/Nodes of Yesod
Athena
Blood Brothers
Destiny Mission
Frost Byte
Gauntlet III
Hydrofool
North Star
Psycho Hopper
Snoopy
Stainless Steel
Towdie
Typhoon
Sophia 1 and 2

Some similar Mega Drive hacks were added not long ago... I know because I asked for those :biggrin:
Two caveats on BlastoBR's hack for SSF2, though: 1) It's in Brazillian only, although the author is working on an English version. 2) It shows garbled graphics on a variety of emulators, only Fusion seems to run it properly. I could contact the author on YouTube and he said he'll try to fix it for the English release.
UPDATE: That Golden Axe hack is also a potential problem. It uses a ROM variant that's very hard to find. I used it on a regular World v1.0 ROM and got a wrong checksum. That can be fixed with the Fix CheckSum utility, and afterwards the ROM seems to work fine, but I can't tell if this will result in a 100% working game.
-
Another few Spectrum requests:
- Alien Storm
- Guerrilla War
- Predator
- Predator II
- Terminator 2: Judgement Day
- Street Fighter 2 (OK, I know it's crap, just for the historical value)
EDIT: And Karateka.
-
Added Alien Storm, Guerrilla War, Predator 1 and 2, Terminator 2, Street Fighter 2.
... and Karateka.
-
Thank you very much! :wink:

There's a translation just released of the Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom NES game. While the US release is already in FBNeo, a great deal was lost from the original localisation. The translation looks rather special, if this could be considered for a future release at some point?

thank you so much Dink....you guys are amazing, its up already!! :cool:

arcane54 you're welcome :)

Added a dip option to Spectrum: map Kempston to QAOPM or QAOPSpace.
This feature is for games that only support QAOPM or QAOPSpace as inputs.
If you find a game like this, please say it here - I will then set the game to use this configuration by default :)
f.ex 2 homebrews that already make use of this handy feature:
Moon Ranger
Jet Pack Bob
best regards,
- dink
-
Seems a bit radical, but it gets rid of the joystick issues in "Lotus Turbo Challenge" and "Test Drive 2". I'll notify if I find any strange behaviour in other games.
EDIT: With M as fire it also fixes "Desperado" by Topo.
-
A few more Spectrum requests:
- Aliens (two different games, one from Activision and the other by Electric Dreams)
- Budokan
- HKM / Human Killing Machine
- Karnov
- Hypsys
- Casanova
- Thunderbirds
"Budokan" and "Thunderbirds" can be messy. "Budokan" took two tapes to access all sections, and "Thunderbirds" has 3-4 separate loads (independent?) with different sections.
-
Added in:
Aliens UK & US
Casanova
Human Killing Machine
Karnov
Hypsys
Thunderbirds
Also threw in Kendo Warrior, seemed somewhat appropriate.
Seeing how playing a tourney in Budokan requires loading off side C, picking the controls, then loading off side D, picking the fighting style, then loading off side B to get into the game proper, and then juggling between sides D and B for the rest of the game... I can't think of a feasible way of implementing that one. ;(
-
It's OK. I always imagined there would be limitations, even with the new TAP support. Can't believe you managed to squeeze in "North & South", which also spanned two tapes and has no disk version.
Imagine back in the day, to set up a battle, load the battle scenario, and then be over in 5 seconds because the enemy decides to retire rather than fight. Then load the map again... it could be maddening sometimes.
-
*shudders*
And there I thought that loading up Myth all over again every time you run out of lives was a hassle.
-
Nah, just lazy programming. I saw a few of those on my Amstrad CPC as well, although I can't remember titles.
-
You will be added Paradise Cafe by Dammata from ZX Spectrum? Thanks. :redface:
-
Added:
Dominator
Paradise Cafe
Xecutor (some nice 48k tunes here).
Also changed Vindicators to use Interface 2 by default, which seems to fix the 'stuck key' input bug.
-
I added Patrick Paddle (HB) the other day to ZX Spectrum. Don't let it's simpleness fool you, it's a really fun addicting game :)
It controls great!
It's addicting & funny, especially when the bombs come :)
get rom here: https://prosm-software.itch.io/patrick-paddle
best regards,
- dink

Thank you! :biggrin:

While trying to figure out what FDS games are worth exploring, I found this article:
https://www.blockfort.com/game-lists/famicomdisksystem/
It mentions a FDS game called "Knight Move" that might be worth adding to the roster. It's a tile puzzle by none other than Alexey Pajitnov, and apparently a good one.

This reminds me thay I also have a few more Spectrum requests.
Gauntlet II --> Parts I and III are already in the roster.
Michel Futbol Master --> You don't know Michel?! He was the one and only soccer master!
The Simpsons: Bart vs. Space Mutants --> One of the few Ocean licenses left to add.
-
There was a little bug in my buzzer emulation that would occasionally cause a gap in the sound buffer if frame cpu cycles went over a few for that frame, this made an obvious and annoying pop in the awesome Alter Ego title music (and in some other games too, but it was less evident). Anyways; now it's history.
Did anyone check out my stereoizer for Nes yet? Put on headphones and try the video here (please): https://neo-source.com/index.php?topic=2487.msg30631#msg30631
I have an idea, I want to make several audio plug-ins for FB Neo UI which can be selected, like: delay/reverb/stereoizer/Bass Boost. I'm testing the idea with just the NES driver for now.

@ WILOWAR
Ok for requesting some games to be added to ZX Spectrum driver but a list of more than 50 games in a single topic is a bit too much, no?

Some people never "learn" ! :confused:
-
@Wilowar
Could you go through the list one more time and remove those we've already got (at a quick glance, I distinctly remember adding Steg and Silent Shadow) and game collections (e.g. Superstar Seymour is just a pack of all Seymour games).
-
Ok, I removed Superstar Seymour and Silent Shadow, but I can't find Steg The Slug on my game list on FBN.
-
but I can't find Steg The Slug on my game list on FBN.
Should be there shortly. Steg was added in the last batch: https://neo-source.com/index.php?topic=3656.msg30643#msg30643
-
ok. I removed Steg game from my list.
-
Added the games from Wilowar's plus-sized list, barring:
Olli & Lissa 3
Seymour at the Movies
I couldn't confirm that the 128k versions of those two are any different from the 48k versions.
I also had to skip Alien Girl, since I don't have the official TAP to verify the checksum. Had to go with the free 48k demo.
Threw in:
Rogue Trooper
Star Paws
Super Scramble Simulator
The Star Paws one is more for the tunes than the gameplay, admittedly.
-
Seyumor at the movies in 48k don't have chip tune background music only beeps from built in speaker.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26GzDLa92dM
Is FB Neo has support for Light gun Pistol like Nes zapper for usb mouse ?
-
No light phaser support for zx yet, but i will try to add it :)
-
Seyumor at the movies in 48k don't have chip tune background music only beeps from built in speaker.
Thanks for the video - yeah, you're right, after a little bit of searching I was able to find a separate, 128k version of the game's tape. Added the 128k version now.

Hello FBNeo people,
If you are adding SF2Mix to FBNeo use the sf2ce driver by renaming it to sf2mix.zip and in the files change all "s92" to "smx"
Example: s92_21a.6f -> smx_21a.6f
https://sf2mix.github.io/download.html

Thanks for the info Joaquim2020, zero800
It looks like someone beat me to it, but named it sf2cemix, is that alright?
best regards,

it's now changed to "sf2mix" and smx rom prefix for all roms with a changed crc from sf2ce. thanks

Is "Block Out" for the NES worthy of adding?
From Wikipedia:
Despite the other known console ports of Blockout, there were also two for NES: the first is an official unreleased prototype developed in 1990 by Technos Japan Corp. under the name "Block Out", while the second is an unauthorized clone programmed by Hwang Shinwei and published by both himself and RCM Group in 1989/1990 (titled 3D Block).

Neville, sure!

It's been a while since I requested Spectrum games... is it possible to add HeroQuest and HeroQuest: Return of the Witch Lord? If they haven't already been discarted, naturally.
EDIT: The game also seems to be available for the NES, although only as a prototype.
-
@Neville
Added both Hero Quests. Somehow forgot about these, and how good the music was.
-
Cool, thank you. If you guys are going to add the NES prototype as well, I've read the European version is more complete than the US one.

Ok, it is getting out of hand, so i'll repeat some rules that have been said many times already :
- only request support for games you intend to play
- check if those games aren't supported already
Next time i see a request for several dozens of games, including alts and already supported games, the requester will be lucky if i only delete his request. All devs are getting sick of this, that was my last warning.
@joaquim2020 games added, half of those games were already supported actually, and no we won't add the alts.

The "Anime colors" has a negative review, although I like it. You need ski goggles to play in some of the arenas, but still is closer to the look of the TV series. On the oher hand, the Donus patch has no negative revierws, is less extreme and, if that helps, you have already included some of his other Genesis patches.
So if I had to choose I'd go with the Donus patch.
Any other opinions? Any DBZ fans on the board?

The truth is that this game would need an arrangement of colors, if that is the one you would play it would be a matter of adding it, I would not want to add games that will never be played
-
Then I'd add the Donus patch. And if you don't like the colors on other Genesis games check out his other patches, he's done a lot of good.
EDIT: I got it wrong, it's actually the Donus patch the one in which some stages are too bright. Still, that's better than the released version, so yes, please add his patch and ignore the other one.

Is this worth adding?
X-Men (Mega Drive) - Ultimate X-Men hack (http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5639/)
It says it makes the game easier and "corrects a few design choices of the original game". It does not specify if it solves one annoying thing of this game, after reaching a certain point the player is asked to "lightly press the reset button". If done incorrectly, the game fully restarts and the progress is lost.
EDIT: Looks like its fixed. From the readme:
General:
*Computer automatically resets when destroyed, reset button no longer needed. (Mojo's Crunch)
-
It would be a matter of testing it, it seems good, I personally play the roms in everdrive, I love all these improvements

Then I say, let's add it! :cool:

Added a bunch of new ZX Spectrum games, among which - an improved and extended version of the original Dizzy.
AntEater - a single-screen arcade involving navigating your tongue around an underground ant colony.
The Dark: Lost Pages - starts off as a side-scrolling stab-a-tron not unlike Zosya's own recent Valley of Rains, then turns into an elaborate first-person shooter.
Dizzy 1 Extended - makes the original game smoother, fixes bugs and unintended skips, adds 16 more screens, new items, etc.
Lost Cavern - an AGD platformer with questionable hitboxes. Somewhat tough, but has a separate easy version.
Ninja Poison - you play as a ninja who's constantly dying from poisoning.
Organic Matter - a game made from a made-up description to a non-existent ZX Speccy game in an old Russian guidebook. Has a trailer made for it, voiced by the guy who did video game reviews on the telly in the 90s. The game itself? A platformer where you go around shooting stuff, making flowers bloom (?), spreading green contamination everywhere you go (?). The usual.

Attack Four (MSX)
It appears to be a port of NES Volleyball.

Gab75,
I love playing something unique and new between working on code :)
Thank you and best regards,

If you're documenting these 'new releases' that MAME doesn't seem interested in, can you try to keep the older releases of them as clones (so if a 1.2 comes out, make the 1.1 a clone) it could be useful in the future.
For arcade sets this has always been done (clones = older revisions) but for this modern development the culture seems to be to try and erase the clones entirely, which is worrysome - tracking the development is something people will want to study some years from now.

Thanks for the tip, Haze! :)
Maybe the best choice is proceed as follows:
- if the new version is only a bug fixes, the new version will replace the old version;
- if the new version has changes in levels/gameplay or it adds new options/features, both will be kept.

If it costs you nothing to keep an older version preserved, I'd suggest keeping all the older versions.
Not all bugfixes are 'positive' some end up introducing other issues, sometimes old playthoughs of a game depend on a bug, and end up looking 'impossible' later.
I'll share a little story...
A few years back I was working on a mobile game, it had a score / time attack mode with replays, it would upload players scores and their runs to a server, so that they could be viewed by anybody else.
We got the occasional report of the game crashing mid-run, unfortunately as crashing was fatal, we didn't get the run files for any game that crashed, so the bug sat there for about a year unfixed, we weren't even sure if it was just a hardware bug on some devices.
Eventually we manged to get a solid reproduction. There was some bad code in our game that would trash the state of other objects in memory in a predictable way. If it happened to corrupt the wrong data (pointers to certain things) the game would crash. If it instead happened to corrupt other things (number of enemies left to spawn etc.) the game would continue, seemingly as normal.
We fixed the bug.
Most of the top 20 high score replays that had been uploaded to the servers and shared stopped working.
Those high score replays just happened to be triggering the bug in a way that was changing the behavior of the game (causing less enemies to spawn) thus allowing the players to complete the game more quickly and obtain higher bonus points. The top replays were all relying on a bug in our game code corrupting the game state.
As the replays no longer worked, and the top scores were technically not valid, we ended up deleting them. This caused massive fallout with the player community, accusations of us censoring scores, deleting scores of players for no reason in order to try and make 'our friends' appear higher up etc. Even accusations that we hadn't fixed a bug in our code, but introduced one and were trying to hide that by deleting the replays.
Unfortunately with these closed platforms you can't offer old versions of your software easily. There was no way to restore those replays, that depended on a buggy version of the game, to working state, they were literally 'impossible scores' on the fixed version of the game. People wanted the old version, and the old scores back, that didn't happen, the community abandoned the game.
With an emulator, and a database of versions, you can easily offer all released versions, and let the user pick.
So yeah, if something can be archived, I'd highly recommend archiving it, because you just never know, even obvious bug fixes, for game-crashing bugs, can sometimes have unexpected side-effects if people were relying on those bugs.

Haze, it sounds like those people were mad that their time and efforts spent exploiting game glitches were wasted, making them miss an older inferior version of the game. Do we really want to cater to such people when no money is involved? Keeping older versions has a cost: it's clutter in the code base, is it not? We might even run out of ROM names for arcade games as they are short filenames (but I guess it's not a hard limit and it could be ignored). Anyway, I don't think it's worth it, but then again, I'm not an FBN contributor.

... Keeping older versions has a cost: it's clutter in the code base, is it not? ...
You centered one of the main issues: the database gets slower with every added game, so getting rid of old buggy versions and replacing with new versions certainly helps (often with homebrew games, the new versions are only bug fixes and they're always better than the older versions).
-

Indeed, and i wouldn't be happy if FBNeo ended up weighing several hundreds MBs because of this.
I'm not against keeping older romset versions, but i wouldn't make it systematic if it's not a user request. I believe there are better projects than FBNeo for game preservation.
-
Could mark them debug via BurnDrvD then they will be documented but won't appear in release builds.
-
I'm against keeping old HB game versions around as well unless there is something "special" about the previous version. If, at a later time we find that a previous version has something special about it - or someone requests it, we can re-add it.

Well I find those responses to be highly disappointing.
As emulation devs, we have to bear some responsibility for seeing that these things aren't lost / forgotten, but it seems wherever I go, or try to encourage support for preserving them, I'm just met with attitudes that want to destroy current history instead.
This is going to be a real mess (impossible) to fix later down the line, once people start to realise this is every bit as much of our history as the various Street Fighter 2 revisions etc.
I consider my duty done in trying to encourage a more positive outlook for these things at least, but I did think here of all places might be a little more receptive to the idea of not letting these things be lost, especially as I can't do anything about a lot of them within MAME either due to other policies (not including anything the author puts a price on, even if that price is 'free')
