Yeah I was surprised too ! At least it was something easy. I tried xcopy but it's no good here, I need to decrypt the whole rom, not just 1 area. In debug mode raine saves automatically the whole rom when you quit, but with cps2 it's encrypted, that's what I need decrypted. I plan to optionally load the keys and if they are available decrypt the thing and run the game decrypted, but only if the keys are available. Anyway for now the weather is quite warm, Roland Garros has started even if it should be a lot less interesting this year than previously, and so it's not an ideal time to code, but I'll try to do something soon.

Yeah I am almost sure that's the reason too, and from yesterday. But it means I need some cps2 decryption code to be able to compare the roms to see if their only difference is really this region byte, and if there is more than that then keep the region clones, it's very possible I'll be obliged to re-insert a few of them and not just one. The code in mame doesn't look too hard to port, but I have other things in my mind, so it might take a little time. Anyway good news for the 1st report : it's actually some very old bug, it dates from the time when I started to add neogeo games on top of neoraine using the code for neocd ! There is a part I totally forgot for the initialization of the game because the width of neocd/neogeo games can be either 304 or 320, until now all neogeo games had a width of 304, which is the default, and which is obviously wrong for some of them, like here for samsho2 ! It's just a stupid bug, the big surprise is that it took us so long to notice it ! Here is a screenshot with it fixed

Hello, Tux and mer-curious. i think i know the reason why the sfa3 reboots if the region is changed to japanese. But in my case, it is rebooted after selecting the ism. The reason is that this game does not included all languages in the rom. The sfa3.zip only have the english text, so when you changes the region and go to the part where texts are displayed (like the story introduction part after choosing the ism and the winner screen.), the game cannot load the text and reboot (unlike the phoenix edition which have empty text.). You can test it in the 2-players game where there is no story induction part and hence not reboots here but still reboots in the winner screen. (My script does not work when switching region, so press the start button to go to the 2-player game.) Therefore, i don’t recommend to switch region in this game, and so i made the script for both sfa3 and sfz3jr2. p.s. It is tested in 0.95.4b

Well for the 1st, yes it's odd but no idea for now. For the 2nd it was already in 0.95.5c, so I am not the only one who didn't notice. For now no idea neither. edit : not 100% sure but it's probably related to cps2 encryption, sorry but I don't intend to take back sfz3j without further investigation here so it will take some time. I suggest either reverting to 0.95.5c for that or use sfz3jr1 which is still here (and if you can find a difference between sfz3jr1 & sfz3j, you can post it here !). For the 1st it might be related to the crazy way mame (yeah because fbneo just uses mame code) renders the sprites. Sorry but I don't intend to ever render the sprites using the same way, too time consuming for the cpu. Here again not 100% sure, would require more investigation, but not sure I'll want to investigate this further for now.
