EDIT: I'm assuming you're using lr-fbalpha (aka lr-fba-next).

my suggestion: undo the changes you've made on that file and then configure the mappings the way you like using the core input remapping method.

bur for normal Fba

What's "normal Fba" ? You mean fba with non-neogeo games ?

Yes sorry i should have clarified that.

I'm using
https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha

I just moved out all the NeoGeo games from the Fba folder and put them in neogeo. Then using fba to run them.
So when doing that the *.fs and *.nv files wind up in the correct folder specified in the Retroarch.cfg file for neogeo.

Any insight @barbudreadmon on what could be the problem?

[Redacted]uses the 0.164 romset for all of their MAME files, so don't use them (none of the pi emulators use that romset, AFAIK). Giving out links to roms is a strict no-no on this board (for obvious reasons). My best advice is to learn to torrent. That's how I've acquired my MAME and FBA romsets.

Sorry about this but i made a wee boo boo with the clockspeed in the above post, i've sorted it now on the git

Thanks for the heads up (and your work on this emulator). I think I would prefer just to document it rather than switching by default, but useful to have cheers. I'll give it a test though.

Thanks for the reply..

Since posting have solved my own problem and have the game working.

I was using a USB stick for my roms,

When I first started my retropie I was using incompatible rom sets, as I deleted them and replaced them with newer rom sets I feel maybe the SD card was re-copying the old wjammers rom file rather than replacing it with the newer and correct file

Frustrating...! But I hope this helps someone,

if anyone could shed some light on how to stop SD card re-copying unwanted files onto USB Would be much appreciated

@meleu I got you, that's exactly what I ended up doing. Thanks again for the assistance with that. Sorry I've had a long day and my communication skills are at a minimum right now which is what my wife has recently told me. ;-) Thanks again.

Port to macos
Get the script with the following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/meleu/share/master/noclones_fba-next.sh --output noclones_fba-next.sh

on script replace the line 47:

if ! wget -O "$gamelist" "$gamelist_url"; then

by:

if ! curl "$gamelist_url" --output "$gamelist"; then

So an update here after some playing around I am noticing that the runcommand is not saving the any video resolutions I change. I thought it was only changing resolution thus the aspect ratio wasn't changing but apparently it should also be changing aspect ration since its in the options. When I press select on my DS3 to change an option it doesn't see to show the option change in the parenthesis. So I think this is actually a runcommand issue?

Ok Guys... today building went fine \o/ I trust the root cause was overheating. In fact we suffered from an impressive heatwave over there and like me my pi didn't enjoy it!!! I do confirm: I've changed nothing compare to yesterday (despite my low disk space, power plug and "lower" overclock settings :p)

I feel better now first because the air temperature is way more acceptable for a human being (and for the pi). Second because my setup is not at fault and I know that I got an up to date and proper raspbian version. All good news. Thanks a lot for the support and sorry for that post, useless in fact :(
