Topic: FB Neo Bugs Reports

[Igor_Arabe]

I compiled fbneo (commit 10a361d) using tutorial (VS) from fba old site.
in normal and debug version shows games from neogeo (461 normal / 462 debug) with or without marking "neogeo" in hardware filters.



Using VS17 IDE shows error (LNK2001 unresolved external symbol) in softx filters
hq3x_32, hq4x_32, hq2x_32, 2xScaline, superscale_line_75, eagle_mmx16, 2xSalSuper2xSalLine, 2xSalSuperEagleLine, superscale_line, init_2xSalMMX

I don't know since what version these bugs occurs.

Hi Igor,
Did you put nasm.exe somewhere in path?

[Igor_Arabe]

Yes. for both cases.

[dink]

I use only gcc in bash (mingw) for compilation, so I can only guess at the problem..
Perhaps taoenwen (on github) can help, he use VS and does a good job at keeping it up-to-date.

@Dink - Raiden 2 just got guru'ed with the latest exe during load state?

[dink]

the_maq, if this happens, it unfortunately is no longer compatible with current fbneo code.
Basically: that state will still load fine on the version of fbneo you saved it with.

some day I would like to figure out a good way to do proper versioning on the states - so problems like this won't happen

hi Igor_Arabe，
nasm is not configured in projects prior to vs2022, so if you want to use nasm, it is recommended that you use the vs2022 project files.
How to quickly configure nasm, you can find it at https://github.com/ShiftMediaProject/VSNASM, and the above is explicitly stated in building.txt in the vs2022 project.

Thanks, i did testes with:
-fbneo src commit 71c0fc6

compiled with the three project files (vs2015/vs2019/vs2022)... And have the same bug too.

Shows neogeo games with or without marking hardware filters (see image).
Games affected have this tag: HARDWARE_PREFIX_CARTRIDGE


In old fba this bug don't occurs (i used tutorial for vs in old fba site).

Igor_Arabe,
Hi, please zip your fbneo/config directory and pm a link to me, so I can investigate

For msvc use another method to check if the treeview is selected & if the game is neogeo.

Igor_Arabe, today I installed vs 2022, and compiled [Debug] version - it doesn't have this bug.
Next I will compile non-[Debug] and let's see if I can find the problem!

Funny thing:
vs 2022 compiling fbneo and chkdsk on a very broken hdd are the only times I've ever seen out of memory on this 8gigabyte machine!

hmm, it will compile x64 debug or release no problem, but when compiling x86 (win32), it says the custom build has succeded, but generated file was not created errors.. hrmf.  any ideas?

best regards,

[Igor_Arabe]

I never tried to compile in x64, Always in x86. I never seen these errors. I got only errors as related above (unresolved external symbol in softx filters).
Now all is ok. Thank you guys.

[dink]

I'm done with vs (it's de-installed) - it ran out of memory on my 8gigabyte machine while compiling fbneo and corrupted itself.  How handy!
*hugs gcc compiler*

luckily taoenwen figured out the real cause of the problem with the NeoGeo games showing up and solved it

Hi 

I'm not sure if it's an issue or just my memory being false but

I can't find the 'Difficulty' option in the dip switch settings of Armored Police Batrider

Playing version B which has guest fighters etc unlocked but it's same for A version too

I can vaguely remember having the difficulty setting in ds settings while playing this game on mame years ago (mame 0.130 or sth  ) and turning the difficulty to easy because as much as I love Raizing games I suck at them badly 

Thanks and have a good one 

[dink]

Hi ClessxAlghazanth,
In this one the difficulty is "Start Rank", and with most Toaplan (+Raizing/8ing/Cave) games [especially Battle Garegge], rank increases with how well you play.  Some games, like Batrider, have hidden dips that appear when you have certain settings set - try putting the Coin 1 to free play to see what I mean.
