Troubleshooting

Q: Missing rom, zip file not found

A: Make sure you have the proper roms. You must have at least 2 roms: sfiii3.zip and sfiii3a.zip. sfiii3 is the japanese version and the zip contains sfiii3_japan_nocd.29f400.u2. sfiiia is the american version and contains sfiii3_usa.29f400.u2.

You may need to rename zip files so they match exactly what the emulator expect for.

Q: When I run the script, the characters can no longer move

A: You are probably using the script on FBA-RR which is not supported anymore, in order to benefit from the last features and improvement you must run the script on Fightcade2's FBNeo emulator. However if you still want to use FBA-RR, you can go back to v0.6 which was the last version supported on FBA-RR.

Q: Emulator crash when I run lua script

A: Check video settings, you musn't use "Enhanced" blitter option.

Q: UI looks weird and hitboxes are misplaced

A: Check video settings, you must use "Basic" blitter option with no scanlines if you want the UI to work properly.

Q: Emulator doesn't run at all, there's a missing dll

A: Install prerequires from here
