      Hello wonderful RetroPie community and development team!

      I recently updated my lr-fbalpha to current version (v0.2.97.42), including updating the romset as well. Everything works great with the exception of titles that need samples. I assumed the current sample directory

      /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/fba/samples/

      was the same in this version, but after I looked at the github for the port it said

      "Samples should be put under SYSTEM_DIRECTORY/fba/samples"

      Which I am assuming is...

      /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbalpha

      In any case, it didn't work for me. If anyone else is using the latest version of lr-fbalpha and has samples working properly, please let me know. I would really appreciate the help. I apologize in advance if I am doing something obviously wrong, it's just throwing me off because prior to this version they always worked perfectly. Thanks again for your time and help.

        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.
