Here are a few more impressions and hopes..
First of all the usual tip, if you are new to this FBA port, press - in the menu and select to display "working games only" if you do not want to scroll for a long time..
Overall its a neat experience as it is right now - the three major current setbacks being
- no sound (of course
)
- no working button configuration menu in game (if you can, please bump this in the priority list of things to fix - especially as FBA can emulate so many systems - also, if you can and think it would be a good idea, add switch button designations in the mapping menu)
- no savestates
What does already work though, and this made me *eek* with joy, is loading a vertical screen orientation game like Galaga, detaching the controllers - so they are in bluetooth mode, turning the screen 90° and start playing your vertical shooters like they were meant to be played.
Of course the digipad is turned 90° as well, which brings us back to the importance of button mapping in game...
Neogeo Stuff pretty much all works full speed. Garou even is surprsingly playable with the "not a digipad, digipad" - also I never knew how cheap this game was in terms of mechanics (pay to win 1999 style..
).
SF3 3rd strike (3x scaling), still lags (drops frames) every now an then but is playable - I noticed though, that the fan would never turn to a semi hearable state - so I hope its not throttling because of certain temperature states.
Oh, and I also experienced a crash to failure black screen upon exiting the emulator via the new exit option - once. Most times it exited fine.
Other than that - the menu navigation fix made a huge difference, and boy is this system ramping up to be a winner.
Thank you for your work.
edit: The flickering border in Neogeo (/MVS?) games is now gone as well, but there is still a slight line (frame) left, thats probably not supposed to be there.
Currently you can press + and - and then resume the game to make it go away.
