Topic: FB Neo Bugs Reports

[Agozer]

Lethal Crash Race seems to crash FBNeo (the emulator locks up, and you have to terminate it manually) if you try to set DIPs from the menu bar.

Agozer, thanks for letting us know, a fix is in

the_maq, in tmnt2 the "ugly black line" in the middle of screen during linescroll/raster effect has been fixed, will send up the code as soon as I figure out the next issue (stage 8/flashing).

the_maq,
The second tmnt2 issue you reported with the broken fading windows in tmnt2 should be OK now.  Would you do some playtesting to make sure everything is OK with these 2 changes?  The 2 broken scenes are fixed, what I wonder about is other parts of the game that might be affected by these changes.

Great I'll let u know a.s.a.p...much appreciated.

DonPachi: At the title screen, the wavy fire effect in the background has a seam at the right side of the screen. Can't tell if that should or shouldn't be there.

[dink]

Agozer, that's normal.  Just a suggestion, if you're a fan of this game don't forget to try the high quality music mode

Yeah, already have those high quality samples, just haven't listened to them yet.

On the topic of possible bugs... in Hotdog Storm during Attract Mode, the first cycle seems fine but once the hiscore table is shown and the second cycle begins, an odd cacophony of sound effects play over everything, as though there's still a gameplay demonstration going on behind it all.

The emulator is getting more slow by opening, can you performance the start? Or release a better different UI? 
A new version should do the trick.

Agozer,
it sounds perfectly normal on my side, could you possibly make a video and tell me the timeindex the problem starts at?

Way too go, you did it.. imo this is now 99% pcb-perfect emulation in comparison to the real pcb videos on youtube - and after extensive play testing it's safe to say there's no negative activity involved, bar one, you know the one...But apart from that it's all gravy - excellent work - thanks. 

the_maq, that's really great -  thanks again for the bug reports and testing

Forgot to mention it - its turtles in time again level 4: cave scene emulation issue... on the real hardware when you enter, just before midway the light dims down then illuminates again as you exit from the other end, here's a video: https://youtu.be/zggPGNLwwTs?t=561

Just checked, and this doesn't happen in the latest MAME. The sound problem starts immediately after the Demo Play ends (the ship is destroyed) and the hiscore table is shown. I'm using the latest FBNeo from the repository.

Agozer, I need to be able to reproduce it in order to fix it, that's why I asked for a video.  Something that might help better:
zip your config/games/hotdogst.nv and ini, config/fbn*.ini and attach it to a message so I can try with your settings?

EDIT:
I noticed a difference between MAME and FBN, when the demo stops and the highscore screen comes up, an explosion sound is heard, but it stops.  But it sounds normal to me..
