darknior Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Some good news; thanks to some helpful info and code posted by iq_132 over at the Neosource forum performance in the new Irem drivers has increased significantly. The R-Type games (including Leo) are very playable in FBL now. Youhouuuu so cooool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ T + Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 My list of things to do is getting shorter. What's taken more time than I anticipated is looking at where the updated FB Alpha code was impacting performance and making changes that allow FBL to keep all the new driver improvements and added games while maintaining the performance of past builds. This has gone extremely well but has also been extremely time consuming where my time was already quite limited. I've got one more driver that I need to look at (Darius 2), a few minor tweaks here and there, and then that will be FBL1.6. (That's assuming there isn't another release of FB Alpha in the meantime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diggyte Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Im going to get hated for asking this but I have been away and would have requested earlier. Would it be possible for clones to be hidden/shown with a button press on the romscreen rather than having to go through the menus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an excellent idea, i love it ... just again some work for +T+ sounds like an idea... +1 +T+ i was just playing mameox/coinops and noticed a nice option that those emu's have... the option to delete a rom when it is hi-lited. this would be great for roms we users wouldn't care to have ie mahjong, pr0n, etc. i'm looking forward to 1.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ T + Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 To revisit a point I made some time ago; changes in FBL1.6 are almost entirely focused on the emulation side of things, not the UI. Basically if I start working on implementing a bunch of new UI features or options at this stage then it's just going to push an already long overdue release even further down the road. So these kind of requests are best left for 1.7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
