I missed a couple of new Neo Geo sets. I'll add them to the next release when the necessary files surface to test them!

The the Taito Z drivers have odd sound, most of the time both channels are played through one speaker, the speaker changes randomly on each time FBA is run. This does not happen with the same games in Mame Plus .124

Continental Circus engine sound is awful and really loud.

Wish this had an edit Function, gunsmoke does not run, tried all versions of the game. would be nice if games had the driver listed in the description for better testing.

Weird - gunsmoke works fine here in all builds. The sound is straight from MAME - it uses the same FM module.

The sound issues do exist in MAME, see the following bug reports. http://mametesters.org/mantis/view.php?id=29

As for the volume - turn your speakers down. :)

@Lemonzest, you have to switch your Video options to:Select blitter/experimantal to get gunsmoke working. @Barry, thanks for the great drivers and this release. cheers jens
