I think i discovered why sound doesnt work in pifba binary and works in fba retroarch.
pifba is an older version of fba that still uses roms with a “*m1_decrypted.bin” file inside the game zips.
While fba retroarch is a newer version of fba that doesnt need the m1_decrypted.binFor that reason new version of roms (which i have) doesnt work in the old pifba.
01/26/2014 at 15:23 #4376brucelee1972ParticipantWhich games exactly, have no sound.
Metal Slug 1 or which part.01/26/2014 at 15:54 #4377whiseParticipantSeveral games: Metal slug 4, 5 , samuray showdown 1-5
In some games sound works though super sidekicks etc
01/26/2014 at 18:19 #4389kitchukParticipantAre you using the retroarch core version of FBA or the Binary version?
01/26/2014 at 18:20 #4390whiseParticipantbinary version
01/26/2014 at 21:53 #4395kitchukParticipantTry another bios? I’m rally not sure what it could be. Sorry!
01/26/2014 at 22:24 #4398whiseParticipanti have sound in the retroarch version…. its a shame since binary version is faster…
01/27/2014 at 14:26 #4414kitchukParticipantMmmm. It should be fine with sound. Does no sound play with both neo geo and CPS roms?
01/27/2014 at 15:58 #4419whiseParticipantI only have neo geo roms. The sound problem seems to be in “more recent” games such as metal slug 4/5, and samurai showdown.
01/28/2014 at 00:56 #4438whiseParticipantI think this is related to hdmi MONO output
check https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/no-sound-in-some-mame-games-non-retroarch/
02/02/2014 at 21:58 #4571dautonicoParticipantI ran into this problem, using piFBA binary dated 3 november 2013, and my solution was to download the M1 files for the games with no sound, apparently M1 is a sound chip and some of the roms dont came with it.
02/03/2014 at 13:28 #4576whiseParticipantcan you send me these files or provide a link?
02/03/2014 at 21:11 #4584whiseParticipantI think i discovered why sound doesnt work in pifba binary and works in fba retroarch.
pifba is an older version of fba that still uses roms with a “*m1_decrypted.bin” file inside the game zips.
While fba retroarch is a newer version of fba that doesnt need the m1_decrypted.bin
For that reason new version of roms (which i have) doesnt work in the old pifba.
Its a shame really, since the pifba emulation is faster.
02/21/2014 at 05:54 #5045peanutParticipantare the m1_decrypted.bin files somewhere so you can add them to the rom? if so where? ive tried one van emuparadise but I still get a “m1-rom error” for both ms 4 and 5
02/21/2014 at 12:15 #5049whiseParticipantpifba is an old version of fba..
use the retroarch version, tweak it and it will run better then pifba and with sound
02/21/2014 at 13:59 #5052peanutParticipantThe gngeo? That doesnt work at all (In my case) or the fba version that laggs in video and sound? What tweaks are necessary other then overclocking to make retroarch fba version work smoother/better?
02/21/2014 at 15:12 #5053whiseParticipantSorry i didn’t read your post correctly, check out this rom source: http://goo.gl/PPYkS7
I do recoment retroarch fba version to emulate these:
just set video_threaded=true and audio framerate to 44100

Hope this helps
