FBA development: lr-fbalpha (formerly lr-fba-next) updates

Has anyone encountered any issues using the v0.2.97.40 ROM set with FBA v0.2.97.42?
I've been trying to rebuild what I have into a v0.2.97.42 set using clrmamepro. I have a lot of missing arcade ROMs according to the DAT file in clrmamepro and the Windows version of FBA; and I'm struggling to find what I need.
What is the general method of rebuilding into current sets? Are the new additional ROM files sourced from a specific MAME set which I can add to my current FBA set and rebuild from using clrmamepro? -
@gaavoid As always, there will certain roms that will work and some that don't. My google-fu skills are good enough to quickly find the new romsets so I've never bothered with rebuilding romsets.

@darksavior I'm also trained in the ancient art of google-fu, however my skills (or ISP) have failed me. It's made me feel a bit sad.

How does World Rally perform on the PI..?? only reason i ask is i have modified driver with special tilemap handling via iq_132 which
gives this game a significant speedboost on lesser hardware, im not sure if he pushed that driver to mainline or not i have another
one for TH Strikes Back i'd be willing to share these with the community should they be required.Regards!!

@gamez-fan I'm not sure how those games perform on the pi (i haven't booted mine for some time), but you can still send me your speedhacks through pm on fbalpha's forum, i'll take a look :)

Hi with some further investigation i now know both wrally.cpp and thoop2.cpp with the special tilemap handling via iq_132
have both been pushed to mainline source you can grab both from the FBA Git if you have access or wait for the next release. -
Im not sure how the Seta Sammy Visco ssv.cpp games perform on the RPI..??? but if they're in need of a speedboost..??? this one
does the trick very nicely on the xbox FBA port, and comes directly from iq_132 and dink, it's win win as the games are significantly
boosted with no negative affects.In the ssv.cpp driver Frame find...
INT32 nCyclesTotal[2] = { (16000000 * 100) / 6018, (10000000 * 100) / 6018 };and make it this instead...
INT32 nCyclesTotal[2] = { (16000000 * 100) / 6018, (1000000 * 100) / 6018 }; -
@gamez-fan I can't test right now but i don't think this driver performs greatly on rpi. If there is no negative effect (i suppose this change will be included in the next fba release ?), i'll add it to lr-fbalpha. Thanks :).
Feel free to suggest any improvement at https://github.com/libretro/fbalpha -
Sorry about this but i made a wee boo boo with the clockspeed in the above post, i've sorted it now on the git
