Great friend Dink, I used the newest build and now everything is fine.  :biggrin:
I checked the code and there are actually 121 games. Best regards.

Hi p4blo.ac,
That's great news!  Thanks for testing :)

I have been experimenting to make a fix for the game listing with long rom-names, the problem is a lot more difficult than it seems. The game listing uses "TreeView", which can't have moveable columns.  In NeoCD games list, it uses "Listview", which can have moveable columns - but, its only for a simple list.  Which it can't do the parent/clone stuff like "TreeView"..  Well, I will keep experimenting - let's hope for some luck! :)

So far, one experiment looks like this, it cuts off romname with "..." instead of overlapping to the game name:

best regards,

Dink, I only saw your post today. This correction you made greatly improved the visualization of the game list, it was great. It's a shame that implementing resizable columns is difficult in "TreeView", as the interface would be ideal. Best regards.

Listview can have an indent, it's what is used in mameui for example.

Hi Dink, I saw that some games were added to the Neo Geo CD list. Totaling 125 games.
Games added:
- Captain Barrel;
and 3 more games that iq_132 converted to Neo Geo CD which are:
- P.O.W. - Prisoners of War;
- Karnov; I didn't find information about this conversion, I don't know if it's a private game.
- SpinMaster.
But there are several games that iq_132 converted that can be added to the list, which are:
- Chelnov;
- Eight Man;
- Gururin;
- King of the Monsters;
- Legend of Success Joe;
- Neo Mr Do;
- Pochi and Nyaa;
- Shinobi-TTE;
- Super Bubble Pop;
- ZuPaPa;
- Zed Blade.
These games are in cue+iso+wav and not even CDmage can convert them to cue+bin (Mode 1/2352) that FinalBurn Neo reads. I had to use chdman to convert to chd first, and only then convert them to cue+bin. Only the Zed Blade game that I was unable to convert, as it also gives an error in chdman, due to the .wav files not being stereo.
Could you add these games to the NeoGeoCD list? And if you or iq_132 have any information or links about this converted Karnov game that was added, I would be grateful.

Hi,
His earlier conversions used redbook-format-illegal sized wav files, which weren't padded to the sector size.  Probably chdman padded them during the conversion.  I wrote a little utility for him to fix this, as seen on the newer conversions.

I don't really collect neogeo cd stuff, so pm me links to these mode1-2352 bin/cue's and I'll add them to the list.  Or, you could add them to the list.
Just start a neogeo cd in debug fbneo with the debug console open, and it'll tell you the hex ID of the cd - which then can be added w/description/etc to
neocdlist.cpp in src/burner/win32...  either way :)

geese howard, no difference, except slightly lower soundtrack hz.  These are basically for people with Neogeo cd HW that want to play them. 

best regards,
- dink

Dink, thanks for the answer. Is this utility you wrote public? Can you send me a link so I can correct my cue+bin? I sent you privately the links to the cue+bin isos (Mode 1/2352) to be added (they were converted with chdman+CDmage). I also sent you the link to Zed Blade, chdman and Cdmage can't convert it. I'm also sending you the link to where I got these games before they were converted.
best regards,

geese howard, I don't think you understood my question. The link I asked dink for was the utility for cutting .wav files that remove the header inserted by chdman, which he said he created. And not the FinalBurn Neo Debug link.
best regards
