ive found an answer to my first question. FBA for windows can output a dat file and there are old versions hosted on the site, so that helps there. Any advice on the full screen issue w/ piFBA though? thanks!!

can anyone point me in the right direction here. Ive got romsets for mame4all and pifba, but need to put together one for FBA libretro. I can rebuild one with clrmamepro if anyone can tell me which version of mame to rebuild from. Another thing ive noticed is that roms in piFBA stretch to full screen. Is there anyway to avoid this? thanks!

is there anyway to turn off the menu music in emulation station? thanks.
