I did see that set. It's on my list of things to get.
I see in my future getting a merged set of ROMs to save download time and creating my own non-merged set afterwards.

Do you think my 9 year old PC might be powerful enough to run most games on the latest MAME? I know it is leaps and bounds ahead of the Pi, but I don't know how PC processing power compares to arcade hardware.

EDIT: Forgot the age of my PC

@mrnoholster what happened is you updated fb-neo which requires a new rom set. The old roms are not for newer versions.
FYI. Updating arcade emulators to newer versions is risky as there is no guarantee that the update will work with your roms. Don’t update them if you have a working set of games. Most roms may be fine in if you just go up to the next update, but if you keep updating, there will reach a point where fewer and fewer roms run.

@barbudreadmon Yes, the problem was the hiscore.dat file. It turned out that instead of the actual file I did download the github html page containing the file.
Thanks.

@barbudreadmon Thanks! I had put the cheats in the wrong folder.

@mitu

Thank you very much

I will do just that

@crossmr I managed to get the controls reconfigured, however the graphics option"MaintainAspectRatio=1" doesn't seem to work in the config file. Right now the image is stretched to the sides, instead of maintaining the proper aspect ratio.

@Zodiark12 said in FBNeo Set missing samples?:

this seems to be for 1.0.0.0 while I'm using the set 0.2.97.44.

they didn't change for months, maybe years, so that won't be a problem

@YFZdude Thanks YFZ. Leaning my way through this one mistake/question at a time. ;-)

@UberLumby said in FBNEO highscore.dat:

that's super weird

That's because of retroarch limitations, see https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/issues/37 and linked issues.

TesterNes created this issue in libretro/FBNeo closed RunAhead disables hiscore.dat functions #37

@arcadez2003 said in dodonpachi dai ou jou (normal and black label) stopped working with latest fbneo + latest retropie:

If your using the latest version of FBN and your rom and PGM bios are correct then you should have no troubles running ddp3

Running was working but I had to load the game individually, ie, if I create a PlayList from a folder and scan it, 'ddp3' doesn't get added to that playlist (like if it's not recognized due to a different CRC32 value I guess). Not sure if how that could get officially fix so that it's recognized when creating Playlists.

Submitted a PR: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/11388 .

Should address https://github.com/libretro/flycast/issues/562 and related issues in the X11 version of RetroArch for multiple lightguns.

Closing this now.

6 player X-Men! Amazing. So is this version available if I build from Source?

Yes, i don't know if retropie updated its binaries since those improvements.

I am looking at X-Men 6 Player now.

I haven't plugged in 6 controllers yet, but my RetroArch settings only show up to "Port 5 Controls". Would it work with 6 players, or does the fact I can only configure up to 5 mean that is the limit?

Yep, that works! I just need to find all my controllers now and then I'll give 6 player a try!

Thank you.

Never-mind, I fixed it. I had a dstlk.cfg that needed to be corrected. Sorry!

@barbudreadmon ding ding, thank you, I did not know about the parent rom. It works. Although I don't think this was on the NeoGeo system until 2 and 3 came out.

@danyo
Got it running. Thanks!

Just for another subjective opinion, I'm content with MAME 2003-Plus (in arcade) and FB Neo (in fba) next to each other and see no need to change that after moving to a Pi 4.

For more recent MAME versions, I have my bigger computers. But I didn't feel the need for that for over two years now.

In RetroPie, the NeoGeo system is separate, so you can copy the NeoGeo romset collection to the neogeo folder and the arcade only romset to arcade.
You can combine them if you want, but you might want to keep neogeo separate just in case you'd want a different configuration applied to it (see this post for an example of why you'd want that).

@Neo-Rio why not just install and use lr-bluemsx?

thank you @barbudreadmon , i had made the leap of faith that since, for example, Xain'd Sleena had an entry in the file it was supported. I'll retry 1942...

Appreciate the confirmation.I'll just have to keep grabbing a save state until some support hopefully comes! If i had the ability I'd look into how to do it myself...
