@ericbsmith42 Devs know. You just have to wait.

@drylightn I just tested it myself and what I suggested is still correct. And you should be able to skip with any button on the controller, but that's isn't too important - that you can skip is. Once you have configured every other controller but before you confirm the controls at the very bottom, use the D pad to move back up to the triggers. Then try to assign the trigger buttons, ensuring that they are set to +AXIS (Mine shows up as 2 and 5 for left and right triggers respectively).

Good in theory, but AFAIK the retroarch devs have no intention of implementing said feature in the short to medium timeframe. lr-fbalpha having it would be a lifesaver, there are a lot of 2, 3 and 4 buttons per player arcade cabinets out there that badly need it. What's the last lr-fbalpha version that fully supports it?

I see. Thanks for your answer. I think I'll stick with PiFBA until I'm patient enough to filter my own romset.

@wiggy808 said in [SOLVED] - Final Burn Alpha (lr-fbalpha) not playing rom sound samples file: Is there a clrmame or other program that can check the samples files to let me know they are incorrect / incompatible? The list of needed wav files is included in the dats i provide at https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/tree/master/dats . Clrmamepro should be able to tell you if you have all needed wav files if you setup "Sample-Paths" in Settings, then check "Samples" in the scanner, it'll only check filenames though, not crc.

@barbudreadmon said in lr-fbalpha DAT Rampage World Tour conflicting ROM files: @riverstorm That's definitely an issue in the fba code, i'll report it upstream. Thanks, missing one ROM from the whole set...aaargh! ;)

@mediamogul and I think these with same issue: Arch Rivals Rampage Xenophobe

I was able to resolve this issue by putting the sample directory back into the original directory as stated. /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/fba/samples/ After this, I updated lr-fbalpha again, how this time I did from source rather than binary. After this, I restarted EmulationStation and the samples worked perfectly again as they did prior to lr-fbalpha v0.2.97.42.

as far as i can tell, this behavior can be different depending on the BIOS. load up a neogeo rom for instance, and you will see a retroarch quickmenu >> options entry you can change to a few different button combinations (Holding Start being the default). then take 1942 for example in where holding start does nothing, and you must activate the service mode from retroarch quickmenu > options then restart the core. also, there is a line in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-core-options.cfg fba-diagnostic-input = "Hold Start" that might be what you're after. i'm not 100% certain on all this but i hope it helps point you in the right direction.

Is it possible that the aes has a ram/cpu limitation or something that may be the reason why it disables the music during the boss fights?

@Darksavior Thanks for clarifying. I found a version of that romset and now it works w/ lr-fbalpha.

@edm203 No, I added my own. There seems to be an issue with emulationstation getting the correct name too.

Nevermind. Found it. Under Retroarch, it's quick menu -> options, then last option which is max players. Change from 2 to 4.

I use lr-fbalpha for most arcade ROMs. My guess is that you need newer ROMs. Update your image to the latest Retropie and then find some new ROMs.
