    @barbudreadmon: congrats for v1.0.0.0!! Awesome work, very much appreciated!
    Just a question: has "DoDonPachi II: Bee Storm (World v1.02)" been updated? I does not run anymore after updating FBNeo yesterday from source. I guess i need a newer dump of this romset?

      @sirhenrythe5th does it not say the reason via a verbose log?

      in any case, as per FBA, every release is synced to current MAME romset, AFAIK.

        @dankcushions you are right in both cases, the verbose log tells me about missing/wrong roms and the FBNeo-Dev-Team changes to current MAME-Roms as soon as they get available.

        I just had a look and it seems that "ddp2.zip" wasn´t changed / redumped within the current MAME 0.226, so i guess it was changed allready in one the previous updates (last time i played it was in August of this year). Barbudreadmon allready pointed me in the right direction with "DoDonPachi III", so i hope he has a hint here once again ;)

          i don't see a recent change for ddp2, please consult your logs to see what's going on

            @sirhenrythe5th does it matter when it was changed? just get the one from current MAME and you're sorted :)

                I just installed Stretch on 3B+ fresh, and that comes with FBAlpha. Is that the "best" core of choice these days or should I be looking for FBAlpha2018? Looking for max compatibility and performance as usual.

                  well, stretch has been superseded by buster for about a year and a half, and fbalpha has been superseded by neo for even longer. for a pi3B+ i don't think there's any real benefit for using older versions of FBA/raspbian.

                      It's spam, copied from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19741/goodbye-fbalpha-welcome-fbneo/30 (last year). Would have looked really weird if you had removed that backup though :).

                              Added support for Battletoads.

                              Also forgot to mention that the following games were added in late december :

                              • Gladiator
                              • LSA Squad

                                Added support for more arcade hardware using that tms34010 cpu from midway games :

                                • Cheese Chase
                                • Stone Ball
                                • Ultimate Tennis

                                @roslof you might want to follow this topic for compatibility list updates : FBNeo is probably a better choice than mame2016 for the NBA hangtime games if that one got no sound (are you sure it's not an issue with sound being too low in service menu ?).

                                  Sounds good @barbudreadmon. I'll definitely check it out. A lot of the time, the ROMsets are compatible, but if you update the ROMset to a newer version, I can't really verify, but I can follow, test, and minimally update the notes if you believe things work properly. But for NBA Hangtime, I think I have what I need to check.

                                    @barbudreadmon a quick test shows everything looks good on Pi4B. You were correct: Test Menu volume issue. Interesting that some of these Midway games default to such a low volume. I noted in the compatibility list how to increase the volume for each game that requires the change.

                                    Noted a couple of times (and might already be a known issue) that when long-pressing start to enter test mode, when returning to a game, sometimes the game speed would get thrown off (too fast) until a restart. Not a major problem, but worth noting.

                                    Love the software!

                                          ok, just to confirm because it doesn't seem i'm able to reproduce, this is with nbahangt ? Is it very noticeable when the issue happen ? Everything is sped up or only music/animation ?

                                          edit: you are using latest version built from sources, right ? around 1 week ago, those nba games had some speed issues (it was the other way around though : characters were running too slow)
