Alien Challenge MAME audio regression fixed since 0.234
For some reason audio is incorrect from FBNeo builds after https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/commit/40f419383d9080f625fb35da41a5fe44f0382c36 before MAME fixed no background audio in 0.234

Thanks, I'll try to figure it out! btw: I tried the earlier code, and the missing instruments are still missing. Also, it seems like I can't get the audio cpu to write any of the fm registers. (it's the fm instruments (ymf262) that are missing)

Findings, so far: The missing sound never worked in fbneo (I tried old exe's.. If you have one where it works, please zip and upload it here!), or mame before .234 in .234, came Aaron Giles's new ymfm soundchip emulation, which fixed the sound. ymfm isn't perfect, though, it has tons of bugs with other games. I wouldn't consider porting ymfm until it's a bit better.
I'm not totally sure how to go about fixing this, though.

Since MAME 0.275, fixes were made to YMFM to address audio issues in some games. What's most noticeable there is the music improvements in Battlantis compared to previous MAME versions and that the bootup jingle in Beast Busters is now correct.
Yes, but there's about 30 other issues that need to be fixed before it gets my attention. Of course, if someone else would like to implement ymfm into fbneo before me, that would be nice, too
In the game Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon (Version 95/03/22B, Europe) (sailormn - cave) there is also no sound at the beginning of the splash screen
ani917, I just tried, and it sounds exactly the same in MAME and FBNeo, am I missing something?
I'm not sure if this is a game or emulator error, because when the game-demonstation starts there is no sound of music either, although it is in the game itself
as I found out, the game is a little unfinished https://tcrf.net/Pretty_Soldier_Sailor_Moon
The only thing I can recommend: go into the game's settings with F2 and make sure "Sound on attract" is set to On
