Yeah, it seems it's only service mode. No dip switches.sbock said:It's a pity that only the service menu is now supported and not the dip swich adjustment for older games, or am I mising something there?

I haven't tried Blazing Star, but I did try a number of large NeoGeo games. They run correctly, but are slow. The more action that is happening on-screen (i.e. Metal Slug series), the slower it gets and can become unplayable at times. Fighting games and some of the other games are a bit more playable, due to having lesser sprites on-screen. Just use GnGeo2x instead; the only exception would probably be for raster games and those that won't run properly in GnGeo2x.osn19 said:
PGM games run similarly to the NeoGeo games. They are playable to an extent, but are slow.

Ok so let me get this straight,
I should use gnGeo2x for neogeo roms, but when should I use mame instead of finalburn and vice versa? I heard that punisher and captain commando run faster on fdinal burn for example.

I tried knights of valour which is a pgm game. seems to run alright but game itself didn't seem to be that great. I don't know if the other pgm games are any good.
[Emulator Guide]
use gngeo2x for neo geo games unless you have problems (sidekicks games, turfmasters, overtop for example) then try fba2x for ones that don't work. If it still doesn't work go for mame4all which has compatibility with tons of games but runs the slowest out of the three. sonic wings 2 and overtop are two games i only got to work right with mame4all.
for other games:
cps2: I'd personally use the dedicated emulator for that. you need cache files which fba2x doesn't need but seems to run best with that emulator and has more options and things like save states. though fba2x is still a good option and some prefer it due to not needing cache files (except some larger games maybe like i think the D&D games). Either way is good I mainly prefer the cps2 emu for save states.
cps1: fba2x all the way. runs fast as needed at 200. though mame4all will give you more options as its got pretty much all the mame features even things like game history if you have the file there. It does take a while to load but its there.
toaplan, cave games: fba2x
anything else: fba2x if it supports and works. mame4all if it doesn't. as mame4all is a pretty complete port it has tons of options if thats what you need.
hint: If you have problems with games in fba2x or gngeo2x especially sound problems you usually have to run them in mame4all with only the cyclone core which makes things slower.

thanks for the guide! I cant seem to get moonwalker to run on any of the arcade emulators..maybe i have a bad rom dump.
I wonder why the NeoGeo games that use cache files are slow? It seems slow just like certain games do in GNGeo2x. Pulstar for instance has stuttering issues even in GNGEO2x. It doesn't matter if it's clocked at 200 or 280mhz. You get the same results. I know people get different results with faster SD cards in GNGeo2X. I remember Jycet posting some video of him playing Pulstar at 200mhz and it was silky smooth in the latest beta of GNGeo2X. I know games that have Rasters are handled way better in FBA2X though. From what I've played as long as the Neo Geo game isn't using cache files (the .fba) it plays 100% silky smooth for me. Minus larger Neo Geo games running slower, this release is amazing! Guwange in all it's glory! Not to mention Wrestlefest! Man I don't even remember how many quarters I pumped into that machine in the arcades. Thanks a bunch HOH!

I couldn't get Guwange to run fast, mine is slow, what settings did you use?

can't access my gp2x (mk2). how does ddp and esprade work on latest fba?
They run great! I OC to 245 though. They should run good at default settings though. I do have the sound at 22050 however. For Guwange I have the sound at default but I OC to 265. I can OC up to 280 stable since I have an early MK1. I rarely use that speed though. Only in MAME do I ever OC that high. Well SNES as well and PC98. Oh...and Amiga! =Dnim said:

ok got guwange to run very fast, but the graphics are messed up?? The explosions are all garbled. Everything else seems fine. Do I have a bad rom?

Does Head over Heels read the posts here?
Anyway, I'm getting similar results to the others here with Guwange.
I've overclocked to a moderate 240Mhz with RAM Timings on and sound at 11025hz.
It plays okay but the sound is stuttery and eventually it seems to freeze up. Possibly an issue with the caching mechanism?
Most other non-cache games I've tried seem to work well - brilliant emulator. It's gotta make the PSP-only owners envious! >

Excellent work on this, but I still can't get Tatsujin / Truxton 1 & 2 working, I just get a blank screen which I can't return from. Dodgy roms are are they just broken in the betas...?

Right then, I must have a dodgy rom!

I've tried this interesting game overclocked at 266MHz, FPS varies between 30-60 so it is good playable. "Dodonpachi" plays Full Speed at 200MHz, I couldn't see, that Guwange is graphical or technical more advanced, maybe Dodonpachi uses a more effective Engine (???)narmak said:
Oh, Guwange freezes to, at the first Boss in my case. Maybe a later FBA update could make this game run stable and fast as the other Cave Shooters?
