A new FBA. A big overhaul of sound in the Sega games means they all work well now, with the exception of System 18 which still has issues with the PCM sound. I've also corrected the CPS-1 graphics emulation with support for the mappers. Still need to fix the pallet though to support proper screen clearing. Here's the what's new;

Ported MAME's Z80 core to FBA
Hooked up MAME's Z80 core in the System 16 games that use MC-8123 encryption, sound now works in these games
Hooked up MAME's Z80 core in the Sega System 1 games, encrypted games now work
Added more games to the Sega System 1 driver
Changed the Sega System 1 drivers to appear in the Sega games list
Got the YM2151 sound working in Cotton
Added support for the UPD7759 sound chip
Hooked the UPD7759 chip up in the System 16B driver
Hooked the UPD7759 chip up in the prehisle driver
Hooked the UPD7759 chip up in the tmnt driver
Rewrote the Sega PCM support - solves quite a few problems, particuarly in enduror, outrun and smgp
Fixed an issue in the Sega System X driver which caused missing sounds in abcop and smgp
Fixed bug in the YM2612 emulation when more than one chip is emulated
Changed the CPS-1 rendering code to use the mapper tables from MAME
Added smgpja to the X-Board driver
Added shinobi4 to the System 16B driver
Added ledstrm2 to the madgear driver
Added command line options, -listinfowithmd and -listinfomdonly
Fixed the version output in dat files
Fixed bug where any rom errors weren't reported
Matched all sets to MAME 0.124u3

Bugs shouldn't be fixed, they should be squished like the pests they are!!!!!! Squish those bugs!

Hello Barry, thanks for the new builds! I would like to report a UI bug concerning the menus : Game, Audio, Video, Misc or Help at the top. The usual behavior is : first click, menu opens, another click and menu closes. But with FBA, menus require 2 clicks to close once opened for some reason (xp sp2 w/ latest updates). And here's a UI enhancement that would be nice: double-click on the video area when the interface is in windowed mode goes to fullscreen, and when in fullscreen, double-click goes back to windowed mode. Like a media player pretty much, extremely handy for those like me only equipped with mouse & joypad when in front of the display. Thanks for reading!

Hmm, the menus work as they should here - up-to-date XP SP2. When they are modeless they open with the first click, close with the next. When they are not modeless they open with the first click and close when you click off. I'll add the double-click feature as it would be quite useful.

Oh indeed, enabling "MISC" > "Modeless Menu" corrects the problem and FBA's menus then behave like all other win32 app's menu.. And thanks for implementing the 2x click feature! See you, TSR
