@dankcushions Would the wrong .dat file result in corrupting the game screen/sound? Or could it be that the game.hi file is being loaded in the wrong place

@barbudreadmon

WHAT A STAR YOU ARE!!!!!! It is now working, soooo happy and so thankful. Truly thank you so much!!!

@ditch123 I know this is an old topic. But it looks like a bunch of know it alls replied to this message, and didn't even remotely answer the guys question. To get run and gun to play and passed the load screen you have to hit f2 and f3 at the same time. You most likely never got this game to work. I hope you now will.

@dankcushions
I doubt that because from what I remember back when a lot emulators were being released on the xbox, they used the linux sources and some ports used SDLX.

@dankcushions

Thank you. :-)

@dips52
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.

DONE IT! i was simply using a wrong romset. THANK YOU VEEEERY MUCH everyone!

@windjammersfan you can do this yourself. I have my cps folder (really all capcom games fba supports) then you can add more entries in es_systems.cfg to have another system on the main screen. I actually have 2 cps folder. 1 for all 6 button games and one for everything else plus the first street fighter. The reason why is even though it is a libretro emulator i am using, the controllers have to be mapped manually to make any sense. And the button layout is different for 6 button fighting games and everything else

Can someone reupload those overlays in second post? They aren't available anymore..

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

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!

@washie In the Managing ROMS wiki we can see that the lr-fba-next is (currently) the fba 0.2.97.38 and you want the reference romset for this fba version...

I've just got everything working again from a fresh RetroPie 4 image. I've no idea why the fba games didn't run before but all I did differently this time was not copy the contents of my fba config file as mentioned above. That probably was the cause.
