General / Re: Request for NeoGeo cfg file

Glad you got it working.

FBA for NEO-GEO is really great on the PI 3

I am going to include how I got FBA working for me since choosing to use mame vs fba is better than feeling like you have to due to FBA config issues.

My system is configured for my arcade cabinet with an I-Pac2 - so keyboard setup.

Final Burn Alpha was a pain in the butt to configure the controls, but, once I did, I was very happy.
I really wanted to run as many of the metal slug games as possible. With FBA you can run 1-5 + X full speed with no glitches. I could not do that with the current Pi Mame's.

I did 2 things.


1)  turn off save settings on exit in the main retroarch config (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg).

config_save_on_exit = "false"

2) Create a custom retroarch config for FBA that was based around the capcom fighter controls, then create custom config files for the neo-geo controls per rom name. The per rom name configs live in the rom directory, not the config directory. /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/fba/ directory

Example below: (Just using romname + .cfg on the end)

mslug.zip.cfg

Code: [Select]

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_player1_a = "shift"
input_player1_b = "x"
input_player1_y = "c"
input_player1_x = "v"
input_player2_a = "k"
input_player2_b = "i"
input_player2_y = "j"
input_player2_x = "l"

#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

I repeated this for all the mslug games - (mslug2.zip.cfg etc...)

Here is my main retroarch config for FBA as well.. just in case you want it for reference. (/opt/retropie/configs/fba/retroarch.cfg)
Again, my main file was set up for the Capcom fighters and also has enabling the shader for horizontal scanlines.

Code: [Select]

# Settings made here will only override settings in the global retroarch.cfg if placed above the #include line

input_remapping_directory = "/opt/retropie/configs/fba/"

input_player1_a = "x"
input_player1_b = "shift"
input_player1_y = "alt"
input_player1_x = "space"
input_player1_start = "num1"
input_player1_select = "num5"
input_player1_l = "ctrl"
input_player1_r = "c"
input_player1_left = "left"
input_player1_right = "right"
input_player1_up = "up"
input_player1_down = "down"
input_player1_l2 = "enter"
input_player1_r2 = "v"
input_player2_a = k
input_player2_b = i
input_player2_y = a
input_player2_x = q
input_player2_l = s
input_player2_r = j
input_player2_up = r
input_player2_left = d
input_player2_right = g
input_player2_down = f
input_player2_start = "num2"
input_player2_select = "num6"
input_enable_hotkey = "6"
input_exit_emulator = "escape"
input_pause_toggle = p
video_shader_enable = "true"
video_shader = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/shader/crt-pi.glslp"
#include "/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg"

Of course your keys will be different, but this is a good example of how to config controls for FBA  and then individual rom configs.
