@jozzy1 Far too kind. Glad it's appreciated.

I made this one fully vectors so if anybody needs different ratio or resolution I can make it easily, just ask.

From the Docs there is a link to a Google spreadsheet with compatibility list of the games for the lr-fbalpha emulator. It contains the full name of the game for each rom version. I use CTRL+F in Firefox to open the search bar.

I usually use the base version, as it is the "normal" one (normally). @user50217 Thanks for pointing out this. I was thinking about to reorganize my Neo Geo collection and this is an important information to me. To be more precise, I meant the information about NGH home version of rom and NGM. I thought its only depending on the bios.

@dankcushions so i finally got the 0.2.97.42 romset, when i replace my 0.2.97.39 romset do i overwrite the .39 roms or can i just skip???

some .39 ones will work in current FBA, some won't. i personally replace all.

also when i compare, 2.97.39 is 10 gb's larger than 42's

sets can be merged, non-merged, complete, just parents, etc. all these methods result in different sizes. there's various ways of building a romset, and i guess your two sets were done in different ways.

@hbornstein You need to read the instructions. If it is not working - your emulator / rom pairing is incorrect as stated above.

@meleu said in MAME ROW #54 - Paperboy:

Everytime the Paperboy arcade game comes to my mind I remember this picture of a guy holding the original Paperboy board:

same here. not shortly after, we got nes, had it jailbroken with dozens more crammed into a single board, that, not even 4th of its size.

haha, I was trying to install some cave shooters like dodonpachi daifukkatsu

got it to work using fba, thank you all

@alistaircg which folder are you running the roms from? /roms/mame-libretro?

actually, I managed to solve the problem simply removing the .bak extension. I have now two configuration files for the two controllers and everything seems to be working fine even in games.

Thanks anyway!

@dankcushions . ok, I'll open a new thread. Thanks!

Thanks @caver01. I was working with all 3 AdvanceMAME options available in RetroPie.

Maybe I should install all copies of AdvanceMAME and delete the /opt/retropie/configs/mame-advmame folder, and install AdvanceMAME 1.4 again and see if it continues to get over written after I've set some controls again.

There might be an old file system redirect hanging around.

@lamaman1971 I just realized, there is an easier solution for per-ROM settings without bothering to modify an artwork .zip file. You can simply specify the ROM as a prefix to a setting inside your .rc file. For example, say you have:
display_artwork_bezel yes

but you want to forego the bezel for Tempest. Just add:
tempest/display_artwork_bezel no

which will override the bezel setting for that one ROM.

AdvanceMAME works this way for everything, so you can get very granular with controls, video--anything really. It also works to use prefixes like vertical/display_artwork_bezel no. I am not sure about all of the supported categories, but I know they exist for game resolution, orientation, vector, and possibly others. Obviously, if you wanted to have your default setting be no and then only use a bezel for a specific title with a prefix of that ROM and a setting to yes that will work too.

@jbob101 should be select+start, or hotkey+start if you changed the hotkey.

@bmac6996 it's installed by default. you can see what emulators you have/haven't installed via the script.

Followed steps as described (running on Windows on VirtualBox on an MacOS system). Worked brilliantly.

@VictimRLSH
Nice job there! Please also visit the Arcade Classics Time Pilot thread.

I'll have to try topping this hiscore - watch this space :-)
