@wiggy808 said in [SOLVED] - Final Burn Alpha (lr-fbalpha) not playing rom sound samples file:

Is there a clrmame or other program that can check the samples files to let me know they are incorrect / incompatible?

The list of needed wav files is included in the dats i provide at https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/tree/master/dats . Clrmamepro should be able to tell you if you have all needed wav files if you setup "Sample-Paths" in Settings, then check "Samples" in the scanner, it'll only check filenames though, not crc.

Hello and welcome to this forum. Please provide us with the information requested here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

In addition, which guide did you follow exactly?

Which folders do you have on the stick?

In principle, you only have to put your snes roms into a subfolder snes in the folder roms and Retropie should recognize them. But it depends on what you did exactly and if everthing is in order.

Here's an addendum to my previous message. Today I got my Raspberry Pi and when using the latest version of RetroPi for the Raspberry then save settings in vice works fine.

@mitu I used the handy update all packages command which defaults to binary when available. So, I'm assuming that it updated lr-mGBA from binary as usual.

The current lr-mGBA version I am using is listed as 0.6.1

@polygaryd - Glad you got it sorted. It sounds like you'll be using ClrMamePro from here on out. :)

@barbudreadmon - Everyone misses their mark occasionally out here, welcome to the internet! ;) I've read many of @edmaul69 posts over the months and his hits completely outweigh his misses. Nobody's perfect, even with a perfect manual we'll explore outside the bounds. I've appreciated his help more than once reading different posts.

Unfortunately we alI read and sometimes share incorrect information, it happens. I guess sloth is not something that comes to mind. Anyway regardless Polygaryd was inspired enough and found his solution, and the correct one I might add, so it wasn't a total loss after all. :)

@spyork i have encarta running in windows 3.1 in dosbox on the pi. I believe it is the “designed for wondows 95” version

@mitu I think it's from the limited specs of the Pi Zero. I was actually really surprised that both CD based systems even worked on a Pi Zero in the first place. Somebody told me that they tried CHD files for both emulators on a Pi Zero and the Sega CD didn't perform well. Essentially a CHD File is a modified 7zip archive, so I'm not really surprised. I will eventually test it myself and update this thread when I know.

@fnkngrv URL ?

@dankcushions Here's my pastebin:

If anybody sees anything interesting in there please let me know. I can't figure anything out in this file sadly.

I don't know if it's of any interest but I plugged in my USB pendrive, ran RetroPie, hit F4 to exit EmuStation, ran the command dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.txt, ran emulationstation, played a PSX game which froze pretty much instantly, exited the game, took the file via WinSCP and there it is.

@mitu
That was it. Thanks a lot.

@mitu

Just deleting the ps3 drivers was enough to stop the notice and let me exit the menu without disconnecting the dualshock4. Thanks so much!

@mitu I'll work on it tomorrow after work. Thanks a bunch for your input mitu. Means a lot to me. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks a bunch.

I guess the fbi (image viewer) used to display the .png file does not support transparency ?

Ahh ok, that makes sense. It seems it defaults to a gray background. I wonder if there's a way to either have it default to a black background OR make the side bezels match the gray background i'm getting from the .png

Ok I was missing the neogeo.zip bios from the rom folder, now eerything works grate

@dankcushions Somehow Mame4All gives me the best picture in my CRT monitor...
That´s the main reason try to run this single game in Mame4All.

@emclinux thankyou I will give that a try tonight

@alexp You can avoid all this by flashing the ipac2 to gamepad enabled firmware 1.39 and setting the buttons as Gamepad buttons. Both sides work and it is 1000x easier. ES configures everything easily, no extra cfgs needed.

Use this guide, but use the ipac2 instead of the miniipac.

I'm starting to think that the issue is with the mame2010 driver in libretro.
The inputs in other libretto emulators are not problematic (e.g. street fighter in Super Nintendo works fine with all buttons)... but many of the street fighter II sets in mame2010 have issues with second player buttons.

Something for the libretro people to fix I think.
