      @barbudreadmon I updated from source, and now dsmbl is working correctly!

      My controller does not use select as the coin button, it uses the Home button. I'm using an 8bitdo SN30 Pro Wired controller. The issue is a very minor one, and might not even be a bug in FBNeo, honestly. It only occurs if you try to insert a coin before the game's title screen appears (like on the copyright disclaimer screen). Once the title screen appears, adding coins works exactly as expected.

          @barbudreadmon I updated from source, and yes, that did fix the issue! Thanks!

          I tested out a couple of games with the performance updates, and they worked well with the CPU clocked to 50%. It wasn't a thorough test, but at 50% CPU it seemed to work better than the last update.

            @barbudreadmon I've only tested deathsmiles black label (50% cpu) and it got a huge boost. Even better than mame2016. It's now 59-60fps most of the time with 57-58fps dips. The vertical level will still dip into 53-55fps but it's still a big improvement.

            I'm using retropie on bullseye 64bit lite, 2000 cpu/750 gpu, glcore, 1440p crt-pi shader.

              @Darksavior Yeah, the emulation is almost twice faster on my desktop at 100% cpu, That improvement is about the sh3/sh4 interpreter and will have less of an effect if you downclock that cpu, but it should still be quite noticeable.

                @barbudreadmon I was playing some NeoGeo games on my Pi, and I tried out the Crossed Swords II MVS/AES conversion (crswd2bl.zip). The game has a number of graphical glitches, with sprites that appear to stutter and flicker. They don't seem to affect gameplay, and the game still works aside from this. I don't think it's an issue with the conversion, as I see the same problem using a Redump version of the Neo Geo CD version. The bug is not present if I run the game in lr-neocd, but it is present in lr-fbneo.

                  @G30FF Thanks for the report ! I'm surprised no one ever reported that one, the fix is on git.

                      @barbudreadmon It seems that now the flickering sprites issue is happening in Blazing Star, on the level 2 backgrounds at least.

                        @G30FF Sorry for the late answer, i wasn't home for the past few days. The issue was reported and fixed upstream last week, but i couldn't sync the libretro port immediately, it's done now :)

                          @barbudreadmon No problem at all! I built from source and can confirm it's fixed. Thanks!

                            Well done FB-Neo crew (@barbudreadmon and @dinkc64) for pulling this off so quickly. Do y'all ever sleep?

                                  Is there an easy way for me to see what games have become supported in fbneo since the last time I updated this emulator in retropie, lets say May of 2021? I want to update but I would like to know how many games have become supported in the past year or so, if possible.

                                    No

                                    Not including clones & hacks, probably more than a hundred.

                                      I compared the arcade dat files for game names.
                                      (2 may 2021 and recent)

                                      Up until now 399 game entries were added. ( removals not take into account here !)
                                      273 of them are clones.

                                      The non-clones are :

                                      Conclusion: amongst others a lot of Nintendo VS titles have been added in the last year.

                                        And every Cave game, I believe (some of the best bullet-hell shmups you'll every see).

                                        @Folly this is great. I know how to do diffs, but not how to easily extract the deltas like you did. Cheers!

                                          A clever use of grep and cut will produce a one word per line list of strictly the rom names.

                                          After that there are probably numerous ways to compare them. I would likely use Excel (Calc) to paste the two lists into two columns and then use a formula with a combination of IF and VLOOKUP to display a blank cell in column 3 if the value in column 2 is found within column 1, else display the rom name in column 3.

                                          Alternate method might be if you already use clrmamepro you can just insert the new .dat file and let it tell you what you are missing. I believe wholly missing roms show up differently than roms with a file or two mismatch indicating they have been redumped.

                                            This was quick and dirty for fun as I had something close already written in Python but there might be mistakes. :) I did a straight compare between the DAT from may 1st, 2021 and the current one (3 days ago). Game ROM names only no BIOS files, if they changed even.

                                            I came up with 352 additions (that does count games that were renamed so the real number might be a bit lower). Something for example like bloodstm10 renamed to bloodstm104, it's going to count it as new.

                                            Comparing them in reverse I came up with a list of 25. I would assume these are the games that were renamed or possibly removed from FBNeo. The lists are below.

                                            New and renamed games:
