      Hi,

      I finally managed to set up my FBNEO the way I like it and I don't plan on adding any more games.
      My FBNEO was installed from source and is currently at version 1.0.0.
      What I would like to do is prevent it from updating when I run the Retropie update script.
      Is there an easy way of doing it or does someone knows of a manual way to remove it from "auto update"?
      I would still like to update rest of the emulators when a new update is available, it's just FBNEO that needs to stay at current version...

      Thanks

        @wholee There is no way of doing this via RetroPie-Setup currently.

        You could copy the install folder manually, and then add a custom line to /opt/retropie/configs/fba/emulators.cfg to use the copy.

          If I understand correctly:
          Copy /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo/fbneo_libretro.so to
          /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo/fbneo_libretro10.so

          add a line to \\RETROPIE\configs\fba\emulators.cfg:
          lr-fbneo10 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo/fbneo_libretro10.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"

          Do I need to copy some other files from somewhere or just fbneo_libretro.so?

          Thank you

            @wholee no you will need to copy the folder as that folder gets overwritten on update. Then add a new lr-fbneo line with your own key = using the new location in the same way you did above.

              Thanks for that, got it working.

              I just don't understand what you mean with key=...

                @wholee lr-fbneo10 = the lr-fbneo10 is the "key".

                  To anyone having the same problem:

                  Copy your installed lr-fbneo to a new location (through terminal):
                  sudo cp -p -r -f "/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo" "/opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo10"

                  Edit \\RETROPIE\configs\fba\emulators.cfg
                  and add to the top of the file:
                  lr-fbneo10 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo10/fbneo_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
                  and change your default emulator for Final Burn Alpha in EmulationStation to lr-fbneo10
