### Step 1: Download and Install FightCade Again

Sometimes a fresh start is all you need! Uninstall any existing versions of Fightcade from your computer, then head over to the official download page and grab the latest installer. Follow the installation instructions carefully.

### Step 2: Setup Your ROM Folder and Options

After installing Fightcade, launch it for the first time. You'll be prompted to setup your game library (ROMs) and configure some basic settings:

1. Navigate through the in-game menu to 'Settings' > 'Emulators'

2. Select the desired emulator from the list (e.g., SNES9x or Stella)

3. Underneath, click on 'Paths...' next to 'Rom Path'

4. Browse for your ROM folder containing Street Fighter Alpha II

### Step 3: Add Everything to Exceptions in Firewall and Antivirus

Firewalls can sometimes block Fightcade's ability to access necessary files:

1. Right-click the Windows Start menu icon

2. Select 'Control Panel' from the context menu (or use Win + X)

3. Double-click on 'Windows Defender'

4. In the window that opens, click on 'Allow an app through Windows Firewall'

5. Check both boxes next to 'FightCade.exe', 'fcadefbneo.exe'

Antivirus software can also interfere with emulators:

1. Open your Antivirus program

2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner (or navigate to Settings)

3. Underneath, click on 'Exceptions'

4. Add both 'FightC Wade II.exe' and any other executable files associated with Fightcade

### Step Compatibility Mode for Windows XP/7

Sometimes older games may not run smoothly due to compatibility issues:

1. Right-click the fightcadel2.exe or fcadefbneo.exe shortcut

2. Select Properties from the context menu

3. In the 'Compatibility' tab, ensure that you've selected 'Windows 98 / XP (Service Pack 4)' as your operating system version

### Step Set Executable to Always Run as Admin

If none of these steps resolve the issue:

1. Right-click on both fightcadel2.exe and fcadefbneo.exe

2. Select Properties from the context menu

3. In the 'Compatibility' tab, checkmark the box next to 'Run this program in compatibility mode for'

4. From the dropdown list below it, select Windows XP (Service Pack 1)

5. Click OK

### Step Final Troubleshooting Steps:

If you're still encountering issues after following these steps and have tried using different versions of Fightcade or ROMs from various sources without success, consider seeking help in one of several dedicated forums for emulation enthusiasts.
