mame VS FBNeo

Yes, there are many challenges in reverse engineering these classic games. This is a good example.

Living in L.A. in the 90's, I remember Pack Mann in Pasadena had this one.

The ROM dump's been done but people seem to be stuck on the RLE encoding. It's hard to say what kind of wizardry is needed in this case.

There's a good start at it in the tree ( https://github.com/mamedev/mame/blob/master/src/mame/yamaha/... ) but it's missing the sound generation which is kind of the important part :-)

> As requested by users, you can finally use delta CHD files for clone systems and software items. This allows for major disk space savings in some cases when you have multiple versions of a system or software item.

FWIW, this is commit https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/d1172bf710f2a7b1777ed...

The GitHub Actions workflow bgfxshaders.yml will rebuild the shaders and then zip them up as an artefact. If you push your shader changes to GitHub and let the workflow run, you can grab the rebuilt shades from there.

Note that the process of getting the MSYS64/MinGW build environment set up is simple enough that we have automated CI builds for it on GitHub Actions without needing any custom actions of our own.

I assume they’re free vend because they’re MAME based?

Manual Scan to make FBNeo playlist(s) using XML DAT option and select an XML DAT downloaded from here: https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/dats/

Here you can download the dats

You better learn to use ROM manager tools, I would recommend clrmamepro or romvault, you can generate the DAT files directly from the standalone version ( https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/releases ) by grabbing the nightly build, then go "Misc" -> "Generate dat file" -> "Generate all dats...", or you can download it from here: https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/dats

There should be an "official" dat file from libretro somewhere, I always struggle to find it. There is also one for Fbneo

That's a konami GX game using konami's ROZ layer, your PS3 is probably running out of memory because of it. See https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/issues/505 for more information about this issue.

To curate ROMs you will need also the DAT files (databases) from the curating groups, in order to scan, rebuild, verify and rename your sets\files: No-Intro: https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=download&s=243 ReDump: http://redump.org/downloads/ TOSEC: https://www.tosecdev.org/downloads MAME: https://www.progettosnaps.net/dats/MAME/ FBNeo: https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/dats

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I did not rename the files. I have tried manual scan in RetroArch with Arcade DAT file from https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/dats but that does not seem to help.

Oops, you are right, fixed with https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/commit/42869958bd1a7070e8812ba798473e28e28af7ee
