      I know it says that fba supports hiscore.dat on certain roms, but where does hiscore.dat get placed and is there a specific version of the .Dat file that I need to be using?

      c'mon... all in the link i posted: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-fbalpha#high-scores

        Holy cow... Yeah I'm an idiot. I just got really excited about hiscores. Sorry about that. Thanks again.

          I was looking at the https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-fbalpha wiki section, but noticed that under the Dipswitches section, the image that's supposed to show the menu doesn't work. It's an image that states URL périmée.

              @CourierSS looks like someone used the wrong github hack for posting images.

                I kind of assumed that you had the original image based on authors in the revision history (can't see revision history of old page) so I wasn't sure if I should make any adjustments.

                @herb_fargus

                I was kind of curious of what it might have originally looked like or if anyone else also took a similar screenshot, so I did Google image search of lr fba next dipswitches and it's just the same URL périmée as the first result haha

                    i think i must have hotlinked to recalbox's screenshot before, which wasn't very clever :) it doesn't really need a screenshot and it would change every time retroarch do something to the menu, so no need for it really. the instructions are simple enough.

                    nah it's all within the standard RGUI menu system. that stuff in those screenshots would be accessible via https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/lr-fbalpha#neo-geo-unibios

                    @CourierSS just load it up and have a look :)

                        i updated the compatibility list with all the new 0.2.97.39 changes. this took ages, but it's done now :) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GaqIIoiWbzKHwZ52S2xCSDQXILo81Ls1mHK6czKGAtM/edit#gid=1671511927

                        also, maintainer @barbudreadmon is currently working through some control fixes so check it out! https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/issues/102

                          Would be god to have a Working dat file based on the compatibility list.?

                          Edit: opps sorry was a lot of games untested so that would be a bad idea.

                            :) yeah, also unlike mame the FBA dat files don't include a bunch of games already that are known to not work (preliminary emulation etc), so pretty much everything should be working beyond what is logged here: https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha/issues

                              apparently this was broken in latest version.

                                @barbudreadmon Do you have any news on the implementation of NeoGeo CD at this time?

                                I have been looking at the official forums for Fba over at neosource.1emulation.com and your thread "Need some help with my libretro port" where "dink" helps out from time to time.

                                  It was donpachi, ddonpachi is the sequel. speedspn got fixed too.

                                  @Ryon Yes, dink is a big help since he knows the codebase very well, and it allows upstream to fix a few bugs on their side too. But i can't really go and ask them to write a neogeo cd libretro implementation for me. I started to analyze how they do this on standalone, but i don't have that much time to implement it right now (that's a lot of work for samurai showdown rpg, which is pretty much the only real exclusivity on neogeo cd), and i prefer using my free time to fix current issues.

                                        one of the things that is apparently fixed is the ugly sound emulation in sega 16 games (goldenaxe, altered beast, etc). very cool if true! please can someone check, and update the compatibility list if fixed :)

                                          i hope that the sound thing is true, i always thought it was just me when the sound was bad.

                                          now i have to figure how to update my roms... lol
