@Dink - I'm using the Uni bios 3.3 for neo cd metal slug 2 (japanese region) and you get white blood on display instead of red but if i revert to the standard neo cd bios the red blood returns to normal, we all know to enable red blood for the majority neo cd titles u need to select the japanese version of the rom and that's it, without the use of a code or enabling it with a cheat option, what do you make of it? and btw I haven't checked the rest of the games regarding this issue..

Hi the_maq,
In the DIP's menu select Japan as the region, is all that's needed with regular bios

Hi 

I've launched Asteroids Deluxe (parent version) on the latest devbuild and while the games starts and the first screen with highscores etc appears normally but when I press start (I've set in to freeplay btw) the screen turn completely black

I can hear the sound firing etc so that the game seems to be in progress but the screen is pitch black , nothing displayed

I remember it running without issues when I played it last time , which was a few months before I believe

I have the correct romset I think

Best regards

Thanks for the report.

I added hiscore support for this game back in 2021, and removed it later after discovering that bug you mention, but it seems a contributor added it back.
For now you can play this game normally if you disable hiscore.

@dink i think there was a reason we decided to disable hiscore for this game instead of fixing that black screen, like maybe the hiscore.dat entry looked wrong ?
Edit: i found our earlier discussion about it, the entry in hiscore.dat seems to save game timers, which seems extremely fishy
Edit2: and that game actually doesn't need hiscore.dat support, they are already saved through nvram, i'll remove the hiscore flag again (with a note this time)

Thank you , can enjoy Asteroids Deluxe once again

One thing I noticed that in Itazura tenshi (japan) dip switch settings one can not change the difficulty anything except 'Easy' , the selection diaglo comes up empty

Can you check it if possible ?

Thanks and have a good one

After generate an arcade dat with only parents, i see games like kf2k3pcb and svcpcb.
Why the games arent considered clones of kof2003 and svc, respectively?

[barbudreadmon]

Probably because those 2 don't run on neogeo MVS/AES hardware. They are also not part of the neogeo-only dat file.

Greetings once again 

Arcade game B-Wings (Data East) has scrambled gfx on the upper side of main menu screen , and no music plays durig gameplay , just sound effects

I remember the nes port having awesome music 

Best regards 

[dink]

Hi ClessxAlghazanth,
This is actually how the real arcade game is - without music.  I guess it's best to stick with the NES version.
There is some gfx issue, but, we won't know how to fix it would a video of the real pcb unfortunately.

Hello. Clearly not a game I care about at all, but I just randomly tested Lotto Fun and it seems buggy to me.
I picked the "Choose 3" mode, and managed to get 2 winning numbers out of 3, but then it seems the game got stuck as it displayed I won 10 tickets.
Saved state attached.

[dink]

Thanks Stifu, it should be OK now.  Had to fake giving out tickets

best regards,

Thanks dink! Now we can all just avoid this game because it's boring as hell, and not because it's buggy.
