        As for sonic your right about that but the user has no way to know this as the warning/info screens where removed again not by me this is another wip and will be replaced by widgets at some point as far as i know.

        Yeah which in turn causes lots of bug reports personally i think the warnings should be on by default, in which case experienced users can easily turn em off and novice users
        would be encouraged to keep the warnings on until such a time they become familiar with their romset and come to know which games do not work or have no sound or
        graphical problems etc etc in whatever MAME build they are using.

        I know alotta people dont like the warning screens but the irony here is of course every arcade game on bootup has a warning screen anyway so whats one more in the wider
        scheme of things :)

        Anyway thanks for the testing round up if ya get a chance to try out f1lap sometime lemmie know how it goes

          Of course having the warning screens active will not always give you the full picture take this game.........

          Super High Impact

          If you load this in MAME2003 or MAME2003 Plus you'll get a game not working message and during the attract mode or when you try and start a game it will lock up
          but actually if you enter the service mode do a full factory restore save and exit back to the game it will now be fully playable, consider this todays handy hint ;)

                  The recent progress with the seibu games running on the legionnaire hardware with regards to FBNeo got me thinking of the only remaining game
                  in the driver which to this day remains unemulated and unplayable Seibu Cup Soccer / Olympic Soccer 92.

                  Goal 92

                  goal92.png

                  There is one bootleg however which does work in MAME namely Goal 92 and i've spruced up the emulation of it for this core, hooking up the MSM5205 sound (crowd noice)
                  and improving the YM2203 sound and finally fixing some video problems and adding in player 4 inputs, nice wee fitba game this one you should give it a whirl sometime
                  and with the improvements done to it for this core there is no better time :)

                      Well since there was nothing on the tv tonight to keep me occupied i went ahead and added this.........

                      Touch & Go (Korea, unprotected)

                      touchgok.png

                      I've activated the gaelco2 single screen video hack so this game will boot to a single monitor display, the other game which will now do likewise is World Rally 2
                      although due to the game going haywire if you crash the car as it's missing the Dallas DS5002FP protection MCU i've demoted it to not working status in
                      MAME2003-Plus

                      Nothing on the tv tommorow night either i might as well try and get another game up and running in this ole core :)

                            Thanks to a tip from @arnoldsecret Hyper Duel is now playable in MAME2003-Plus, the game would reboot before level one started previously
                            also fixed up the parent rom as per MAME by using the graphical roms from the clone set which are good dumps.

                                There seems to be a problem with the rom paths on certain platforms.......

                                https://github.com/libretro/mame2003-plus-libretro/issues/718

                                @markwkidd or @grant2258 i assume it might have been one of you guys that made the changes to how the core paths are handled.?? then again this core has
                                had a few cooks lately when it comes to code changes on the libretro side, all i ask is who ever broke it puts it right when they have the time

                                  This is most likely 3ds specific. I would suggest posting on the actual RA github more logs ect will probably be needed to see whats going on.

                                    Aye fair enough bigman, i've asked them if the same thing happens when using the MAME2003 core to see if the problem is with plus or as you suggest
                                    lies elsewhere, im not gonna delve into this matter any further as i prefer to stick with the MAME side of the code :)

                                            Winding down with this core nowadays but i'll still take on the odd fixup should the workload not be to great, as per a tip from @arnoldsecret it turns out a couple of
                                            NeoGeo games were totally broken in MAME2003 while a third had some niggles here and there, the problem was some incorrect code to handle the graphical zooming
                                            anyway Top Players Golf, Tecmo World Cup Soccer 96 are now playable Thrash Rally doesn't have the graphical problems when the track zooms in and out.

                                            Other NeoGeo games might have also been affected so this could sort more than the games which i mentioned, finally i added a small speedup circa MAME84
                                            which should improve the performance in these games for this core.

                                            Tecmo World Cup 96 before and after
