Plans to download all cores through Phoenix?

I found a solution for NeoGeo games.

I found a VERY old emulator (1996ish?) called NeoRage5x that came packaged with 181 NeoGeo titles.

It has no command line support/options, but with Xpadder set up to be used as a mouse cursor, I set it up as a direct EXE launcher in Advanced Launcher.

Can’t choose your games via XBMC, but it works.

I’ll poke around today for more FBA-friendly titles via torrents.

Ick, that’s far inferior to what RetroArch Neo emulation could offer. I’m sure we’ll get the Neo Geo stuff sorted soon enough. It’s probably just a little glitch with the current core or an error on our parts. I’m leaning toward #2.

mvertal:

Does anyone have a 32 bit core for arcade games? (Metal Slug series, Marvel vs Capcom, Street Fighter, RPG/Hack and slash types, etc)

The FBA core that comes with RetroArch is throwing me for a loop. I can’t find any useful documentation on the net as to what it was actually designed to play. There’s a post elsewhere in this forum where someone cites non-functioning games and someone just say “Your roms are old, get the new ones”.

Well I’ve spent the past two hours on http://www.romnation.net downloading roms in hopes of getting some to work. I’m not having a lot of success.

The implementation post for FBA isn’t even that old: http://forum.themaister.net/viewtopic.php?id=9 (July 31st)

However, both links in the post itself are 404’d. Again someone in that thread says “use the latest rom sets”. What does that mean? =/

I found a MASSIVE list of old arcade roms (Pacman/centipede style games) and out of maybe 3 dozen that I tried, only ONE was able to load with the core, and that was a game called Airwolf.

I found a so-called “supported games list” for FBA here: http://wiki.gp2x.org/wiki/Finalburn_Alpha_SG Frankly, this list is full of shit. =) Metal Slug 3 was my carpet bombing approach to see if I could find some rhyme or reason for compatibility. I downloaded MS3 roms from a dozen sites, and in many different versions, and none of them would load.

The actual log errors I’m getting range from stuff like “[FBA] ROM index 0 was not found … CRC: 0x55fd447e” to simply “[FBA] Cannot find driver.”

Any RetroArch arcade experts able to throw me a bone here?

These are all stoneage versions of FBA you’re referencing - romnation.net’s ROMs too probably hark back to the MAME 0.72/0.60 period - you can’t expect those to work on a project that syncs its romsets with that of current-day MAME.

NeoRageX is stone age as well.

You know due to legalese I can’t give people pointers on how to find or obtain ROMs. Suffice to say Neo-Geo ROMs are all working and the whole problem is that you’re using outdated romsets. There are plenty of sites still out there that feature compatible romsets and if not - search for the latest mame romsets - they would do as well.
