      @Ikyrus this is fixed in lr-fba-next as per this commit: https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/commit/5e1341cb9d5915ca4b3f21ec3f882fcefc99c4d5

      if you update lr-fba-next via binaries it will probably be fixed. if not, update by source.

        Well...

        After updating via Binary, a FEW of the ROMs that didn't previously work, started working. But most still did not. I then updated via Source, and same result. Most of the Non-Parent ROMs still won't run without the Parents even though they are all non-merged. Stumped...

            I apparently spoke too soon. Now it seems that since I updated, the parent ROM sets don't seem to work either. Again,all of the CPS1 ROMs work perfectly...It's just the CPS2 ones. And not ALL of them but most of them. Here's what some of them look like:

            Neither of these sets work now.

            Now SFIII3U, for instance, didn't work before the update but now it does. And no parent ROM is needed. Let me know if you need any other info from me. (And thanks a ton for taking the time to help me through this!)

              this at least is not a valid fba 0.2.97.38 rom. it should have 119 files:

                Now that looks to be a merged rom. I guess I could try that though. I will update soon.

                  The new FBA (0.2.97.39) requires romset 0.175. All of the CPS2 games now have a .key file that wasn't present in the 0.174 romset. Get the updated roms and they will work. It's a pain, and I've been busy doing it all day.

                  It's a shame you can't roll back to the last build of 0.2.97.38. Yes, there is an earlier build of it available on the Retropie 4.0.2 image file, but it doesn't have some more recent bugfixes (like being able to run non-merged clones without the parent rom).

                    i took u.s or euro roms that were parent roms and used them as i cant tell a difference between them. If i recall correctly, i took the japanese parent roms and just renamed the us files to the japanese files names and dumped them in the japanese parent rom zip. Might have been mame stuff but i think it was fba i did this for. However i only use fba for neo geo and capcom arcades.

                      I'll see if I can get updated versions since I'm sure RetroPie will be updated to reflect the new FBA at some point anyway.

                        That seems to have done it!

                        Apparently, the .38 ROMs wouldn't work because of the Non-Merged bug, but when I updated it to fix that it updated to a version that needed .39 ROMs.

                        Thanks for all you guys' help!
