all morning i've been sorting though files and setting up all my title screens. Oh how fun!!!! but..... when i go under the MAME menu theres no create snaps option. :-0 what to do???? i hope all my stupid questions are helping other people out there besides me.

well i'm glad i'm not just crazy. but sad about my beloved double dragon. thats a good idea though. ill post on fba's forum. now i must get back to the pain staking process of completing the perfect screen shots. ooooof ;-/

thanks for the suggestions. i really appreciate your responses.

i'm running game ex and when i set it up i chose to only run games. i'm running mugen, beats of rage and a couple other games. Can i put the external applications under another menu? my start bage looks like this... all games all mame games update list neo geo games cps games nintendo super nintendo sega genesis turbo grafx 16 play station nintendo 64 mugen * beats of rage * i'd like to put mugen and beats of rage under a menu that says "other games"

those emulators will run Double Dragon NeoGeo. the old one is a different game. the old technos / Taito DD is what im trying to emulate. are you testing it with Double Dragon NeoGeo? the sound slow down is pretty noticable., but i do have bionic hearing too

yes my rom matches.. hmmm Rreq, you didn't notice a diff. its pretty subtle, im picky like that. i dont think all the versions of the roms i have are bad, and i tried it on 3 different pc's. if i could write a batch file or something to execute a keys stroke once the game was loaded it would work. i just have to hit SHift +, Shift -. thanks tempest for the info on mame magician. thats looks cool.

okay, so i checked it out. it stays set at 48000hz even though its launched from command line. but only on double dragon 1, the sound is slower than normal, but when i launch it from the fb alpha menu its starts fine. i tried a version of FBA called "Final Burn Alpha Shuffle". it does the same thing, but.... it has a feature that lets you toggle emu speed with SHIFT + or -. and if i launch the game from game ex, or the command line, the sound starts slow, and if i toggle emu speed up to 150% then right back down to 100% the sound goes to normal.. weird huh? and its only on DDragon1... DDragon2 works fine i was playing it just now and i tried all roms ex. ddragon.zip, ddragonu.zip, ddragonb.zip, and all other boot legs, and ddragaonw.zip, ddragonw1.zip thanks again for looking into this strange problem.

yes i set it to 48000hz from the menu. but when it launches from the command line i dont think it stays at 48000hz. i looked at the config file and it says 48000hz. i dont understand why its doing that. i tried different versions of fb alpha. they all do the same thing. i looked for another emulator that would run double dragon 1 and 2. and i didnt find much. its drivin me nuts!!!! of all the games DDragon was my favorite from my childhood. and nothing will run it. AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! thanks for your responce. I haope i can get this figured out

i found info on making a batch file (in notepad) with the following start/wait C:\epsxe\epsxe.exe -nogui -loadbin %1 Exit save that as epsxe.bat and in game ex config put this line in the command line box of the game ex config ePSXe.bat "[ROMPath]\[RomFile]"

I'm using FB Alpha for two games.. Double Dragon and Double Dragon 2 mame sucks with double dragon it slows down half way thru level 1. FB alpha emulates the game perfectly.. When i open FB alpha and load the game from the drop down menu it starts up fine. But when i load it from the command line or from game EX the sound is slow. in fb alpha the sound bitrate has to be set to 48000hz if its at 44100hz the sound is slower than normal. if anyone has a solution to this issue i would appriciate it. does anyone play double dragon? slow down is unplayable in mame. (wish it wasn't, i hate to run FB Alpha for 2 games) doug
