Easiest way is right-click on a game and select "Add to Custom Folder". Then simply choose the desidered folder. If no choice present, simply create a custom folder following Hyperscorpio instructions.

IIRC Robbert completely removed NEOGEO raster hack a while ago, in favour of original MAME code. NAMCONB1 is still needed. Those changes don't fix the terrible slowdowns in Nebulas Ray on some levels due to performing raster effects on sprites, when probably the original hardware doesn't do that. Also there's a fix for a 1 pixel offset line in raster irq. SIMPSONS is still needed. Those changes don't fix the music speed bug. Audio CPU still must be overclocked

Yes, it seems that it's fixed now. At least for the few games I tested.

My two cents are that maybe it would be better make an HBARCADE build, with all the arcade-only hacks supported by HBMAME developed using the ARCADE GUI code. I cannot help because I'm lack of time due to my real life job and sincerely also because I'm not interested. Though I have no objections. Good luck with the neogeo-decrypted driver.

You might want to add a couple of changes in this piece of code at line 4865 in WINUI.CPP, to ensure that the TreeView repainting after the View-->Show Folders menu action doesn't show garbage: void ToggleShowFolder(int folder) { int current_id = GetCurrentFolderID(); SetWindowRedraw(hWndList, false); SetShowFolder(folder, !GetShowFolder(folder)); ResetTreeViewFolders(); SelectTreeViewFolder(current_id); SetWindowRedraw(hWndList, true); } change to: void ToggleShowFolder(int folder) { int current_id = GetCurrentFolderID(); SetWindowRedraw(hWndList, false); SetWindowRedraw(hTreeView, false); SetShowFolder(folder, !GetShowFolder(folder)); ResetTreeViewFolders(); SelectTreeViewFolder(current_id); SetWindowRedraw(hTreeView, true); SetWindowRedraw(hWndList, true); }

Excellent! Exactly what I was hoping for!

Call me crazy, but this diff is the cause of the crash. Left panel, your STORE1 source, right panel, official MAME source. Filename: GENIE.LUA I spent an hour in analyzing all the differences between the two sources and this is what appears to be relevant. Though I compiled your STORE1 source applying the changes and no more crashes in TOKI. I want to do some futher test before, but I guess I found the solution to the problem. Further news from me tomorrow or maybe next monday. Have a nice weekend!

This is a backtrace obtained without stripping symbols in an ARCADE64 0.213 build that only supports TOKI.CPP and few other drivers.

All games with YM3812 sound chip are prones to crash. I'll do futher investigations in the future but I sincerely have no idea on what searching for. I wonder if you have modified some LUA compiling scripts to keep compatibility with 32-bit. I'm saying this because all is fine in MAME64, MAMEUI64 and my personal build which is obviously based on ARCADE with some changes here and there. Also, side note, the ARCADE213S.RAR file seems a bit different if compared with the local STORE1 distribution. I don't see the LOHTB changes in M72.CPP

IIRC the View-->Show Folders is hardcoded in source and is based on the order that you can find in TREEVIEW.CPP. If you have altered in some way that order during the treeview panel creation (e.g. you used TVI_SORT or something similar) the order is now broken. Search also in WINUI.CPP for the piece of code that builds this menu option, it should be were all the bitmaps menu icons are created. The variable should be ID_SHOW_FOLDER_START## and is also hardcoded in MAMEUI.RC

Very bad news, it crashes here even if compiled with GCC 7.2.0. My local source is fine, so I guess there's something in ARCADE that causes the crash. Curiously only on 64 bit build. A build with SYMBOLS is required but at the moment I cannot do it. We'll see in the next days.

Ok, I tested the ARCADE 0.212 from AntoPisa site, the problem is there too. At which version do you switched the GCC compiler? I have serious feeling that it could be the problem. EDIT: 0.209 is where the problem starts. Build Tools were updated around that period or at least so it's stated at Buildtools section of MAMEDEV at GitHub.

If ARCADE32 is fine, I doubt it could be one of the various hacks. Also, I don't recall any hack related to Seibu Sound Hardware, which seems to be the culprit. Maybe a GCC compiler issue? Maybe something corrupted the source code during compiling process (very unlikely, but who knows) ? I'll try to compile an ARCADE64 with my GCC 7.2.0 (I never upgraded it) but I cannot give a timeline because I'm busy, so it could require some days.

Hmmm... It seems there's something serious here. I tried just for curiousity other games with similar hardware to Seibu Cup Soccer (e.g. Toki) and they crashes the emulator too. The usual step to reproduce is launching the game, let it run for some seconds, then exit and relaunch it. Or launch a random game, then exit and launch e.g. Toki. Usually at the "Loading Complete" message it should freeze for a second and then the emulator closes itself completely. Analyzing "VERBOSE.TXT" all games when crashes are at this point: Starting palette ':palette' Starting Speaker ':mono' (missing dependencies; rescheduling) Starting YM3812 OPL2 ':ymsnd' I'll do some tests at home with my local build and with ARCADE64 0.213 on Windows 7. Maybe it's OS related, who knows.

Yes, I can confirm even if it happens randomly here. Sometimes it get stuck at "loading....." message and after one or two seconds it closes itself. ARCADE64 0.213 and Windows 10 X64 On official MAME 0.213 I'm not able to reproduce. Bad thing is that it seems the program crashes without any relevant message. I looked at "WINUI.TXT" and "VERBOSE.TXT" and I don't see anything that could help in debugging this. Maybe Robert will be able to investigate further.

I cannot repro the issue posted above. Which game is causing the troubles ? I tested a few, all seems fine here.
