@mrmadcatz I think you got your info here - from @barbudreadmon. The configuration for this game in the hiscore.dat file is wrong - that's why saving the hiscore doesn't work.

Same situation is present in MAME, so it looks like saving it won't work until someone adds a proper hiscore.dat entry for the game. The hiscore.dat file instructs the emulator how to save the high scores for the game, if there's no entry for the game or if the entry is not correct, no emulator will be able to save high scores.

Some update about this twin-stick feature, it has been added to Forgotten World (CPS1) last year and to Eco Fighters (CPS2) yesterday. Now every rotary games in FBNeo should have this support.

Special thanks to pjft and dink for their work on this.

@johnodon The driver status indicates that the game should be fully playable, however it doesn't prevent the possibility of regressions or other issues, that's your job as a user to report such issues to the emulator authors. Take the color/sound/graphics status in mame with a grain of salt, i know of several issues that i reported myself but it seems they weren't fixed nor had their status updated.

@dankcushions As it turns out, it was looking for a specific file from a secondary Shock Troopers ROM. Not much to say beyond, "I didn't do my due diligence." The filename in the verbose log was so similar to one already in the ROM that I didn't realize it was actually missing. Also new to me is a Neo Geo game requiring a secondary file. I've dealt with parent and clone ROMs in the past, and even have experience with CHD's and secondary files with CP System III stuff, but this was a new one for me.

I appreciate the confirmation that I had it wrong. Between that and Googling the crc I was able to find the missing file and get this running.

@luckyluca said in Some roms not working with lr-fbneo:

The only reason why I haven't updated the core yet, is that I don't know if doing so might affect other systems I already built, and would necessitate updating their roms too (neogeocd for instance, and anything else I might not think of right now).

Your version is over 6 months old, so no doubt there will be romset updates/additions (we probably added over a dozen of new systems since then), neogeo cd won't be a problem though.

@barbudreadmon Rebuild is done, all is on 1.0.0.3 level now. And indeed, the amount of work involved and the complexity isn't that much as I first assumed it was.

OK I managed to find a 1.0.0 FB Neo romset, updated FB Neo from source in retropie. As you said my romset is not 100% exact match with the current DAT from github but a lot of the missing or incorrect roms are Hacks, or homebrews etc. I don't really care about them. Works very well for now :)

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

Oh, there was a weird report on our discord saying that retropie only had .44 available some time ago (i told the guy to write a report here), so the issue was only about the build script description being outdated ?

PS : between new supported games and redumps, there should be around 2 dozens of romsets that changed since 1.0.0.0

@barbudreadmon After testing, I found uni-bios_1_3.rom is a right choice.

If you choose a bios other than unibios, you can still play kof97pm normally, but you can't enter the Practice Mode from the game's menu.

What professional players need is exactly the Practice Mode.

That's the key point.

@stoo said in Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2 on lr-fbneo possible bug:

Are there titles that don't work with it?

Yeah there are, i don't have a full list but i can mention some :

sega system 24 (you found this one) and probably any other arcade systems using several m68k sega system 18 and megadrive (m68k worked differently on those systems, so you need another version of cyclone which apparently wouldn't work with "normal" 68k games) some neogeo games in mvs/unibios, they seem to work with aes though

Ahh I get it. I thought the quick menu was the core options. I'm still finding my way around - there's a ton to retroarch!

Regarding runahead, I gave https://docs.libretro.com/guides/runahead/ a good read. I didn't try calculating the amount of runahead needed to offset the latency, but I just tried it set to 1 and the game and audio stutters. My Pi is currently setup stock speed if that matters.

Also, if I enable a second instance in there, I get Failed to create second instance.

Found the retroarch config thanks for the fps. So many places to set stuff.

Cheers!

@barbudreadmon Cool, that’s what I needed. I started my RetroPie project years ago but haven’t managed to get the arcade games the way I wanted until now :)

Bummer that there seems to be no way to do this.

I don't plan on cutting power without doing a normal shutdown regularly, but accidental unplugging is definitely a risk in my use case.

Thank you for the help!

@UDb23 ok thank you

@mitu Yep, that did the trick! Thank you!

@mitu said in NeoGeo not RUN lr-fbneo and any emulators:

have that BIOS file

Yes. Old bios not work. My friend resent me bios and him work. Thank you. IDK why old bios not work.
