      @sirhenrythe5th This game doesn't seem to exist in hiscore.dat, neither have a nvram i can save, so i don't think i can implement hiscore support for this one.

            I also found another one: Bells & Whistles (KONAMI, aka "Detana! Twinbee") got achievement-support yesterday, but sadly does not save scores ;)

                  @barbudreadmon Great stuff, thanks again!

                  I just noticed something, though (maybe not the right thread): in Shadow Force, when you 'possess' an enemy (pressing both attack buttons while close), there's a little pop-up window showing a new move. This window flickers like crazy on FBNeo to the point that it's pretty much illegible. It does not do this on Mame2003+. (Unfortunately, M3+ uses the more annoying version 2, with 6 button lay-out.)

                  Is this an emulation issue? I'm on a Pi3B+ btw.

                    I really recommend https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/issues for bug reports, it makes things easier to track

                    A good habit is to search for a video of the real hardware (just search "shadow force pcb" on youtube and you'll find a few, not all of them were useful though), i found something usable at

                    so i could confirm it was a bug.
                    Don't use mame as reference, there have been several occurences where bugs were reported to us because it was different from mame (current) while mame was the one actually broken.

                    I pushed a test fix, thanks for the report

                      Will do. I've already been lurking on there every once in a while.

                      Good one, will do as well.

                      Understood. I only mentioned it as I noticed the difference between the two, so that got me questioning the performance.

                      Confirmed working, thanks for the fix.

                        @weirdh note that this game driver ended up having a complete overhaul yesterday, older savestates won't be compatible if you had any.

                          @barbudreadmon Not a problem for me as I don't use savestates, but thanks for the heads up.

                          Found another one without score saving: gunfront

                          EDIT - And one more: aligator

                            I added hiscore support to our taito f2 driver

                            This romset doesn't have an entry in hiscore.dat, but some of its clones do, and their hiscore should already be supported by FBNeo.

                                @barbudreadmon I think this one too: tdragon2 (as well as clone tdragon2a)

                                EDIT - by the way, is this

                                also the better place for reporting non-working high scores instead of here on Retropie?

                                        I've been reading through all of the above and can't figure out exactly what I need to do so I can have the latest dat file and enable hi score for my fbneo games.

                                        Can someone please make simple step by step guide or point me to one.

                                        Thanks

                                          @simrose The hiscore file is automatically installed with FBNeo, you don't need to do anything. Just install it - from source if you want to get the latest version - and that should be it. If that doesn't work for you, please open a separate topic and add more details about your system, preferably also a log file.

                                            I was just not sure if we needed to do anything special to enable for games.

                                            It's easier than I expected.

                                            Thanks for explaining it to me.
