Sep 1, 2025September 2025 monthly summary for finalburnneo/FBNeo. Focused on stability, compatibility, and user experience improvements across Neo Geo and SNES drivers. Deliverables include Driver Version and ROM Metadata updates for two game drivers (Final Fight MD v0.88b->v0.89b and Double Dragon One Beta 2->Beta 3.2) and ROM metadata/checksums for two SNES titles to ensure correct loading and identification, plus Two-Player Support enhancements by increasing default players from 1 to 2 for 'doubled1' (Neo Geo) and 'Super Bug Hunters' (SNES). These changes reduce load/identify errors, improve cross-platform compatibility, and streamline multiplayer setup. Commits illustrating the work include 6af361599cd23f1ea0ebce4a9b4f9658e8331a96, dfc4e85ed1dbd2e27550df5695525beb05cc2b4a, and e6c8de93a721117134515106ffac85019f59ebe4, with related driver-file scope in d_megadrive.cpp, d_neogeo.cpp, and d_snes.cpp. Business impact: smoother user experience, fewer supportable issues on load and multiplayer, and clearer change traceability.
