    @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.

                    I pushed a test fix, thanks for the report

                    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

                          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?

                                  @barbudreadmon Ketsui doesn't seem to save as well. The ket version.

                                      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.
