Fba2x By Headoverheels (thank You Squidge)

[Yod4z]

new version available here

what's new in beta5:
-Fix a bug in Magic Sword from the beta 4
-Add support for DoDonPachi.

 

[Rivroner]

I have found that some games that can´t open the zip if you restart the emulator and try again then work ¿a bug?

Anyway, in next releases Head have said that will be a change in romset or something that way.

 

[galious]

I must also thank Headoverheels for the improvements he's made to this emulator already.

Thank you Squidge for your port, without your hard work we wouldn´t have this emulator.

I experienced this as well while testing out the compatibility in my report. Sometimes the program reject some of the ROM sets (or have some glitches when loaded), but would work after restarting the GP2X.

Anyway, thank you, & to Yod4z as well for the news updates. Give my thanks to HeadOverHeels for the great updates. Thank you also Squidge for initially porting this emulator.

 

[senquack]

This emulator is fantastic. Don Pachi and DoDonPachi feel like they were made just for the GP2X, the graphics are so gorgeous and fluid at just 200mhz. Simply amazing. Ghosts and Ghouls plays great, too.

 

[slaanesh]

Thanks for the updates! Great stuff! Looking forward to more than 2-button support for games that need it.

EDIT: I think you are right. Anyway Final Fight *IS* three buttons but the third button is only used to release yourself when you are being held. I just assumed it was another offensive button so when it wasn't doing anything I was wrongly assuming it was mapped.

SO! Kudos to all, sorry about the confusion and long live FBA2X!

Hey slaanesh, what other games need support for more buttons?

(You mentioned Final Fight in a previous post, but it seems it only use 2 buttons. )

From my testing, I only found 2 games that need more buttons:

- Forgotten Worlds, which lacks the spinner controls to rotate your firing (still playable though, but very challenging ).

- Dogyuun, which lacks the 3rd button (to eject item) when playing in vertical mode.


EDIT: I meant games that currently have missing buttons.

 

[naples39]

All six buttons definitely work in SF2.

 

[Burbruee]

Amazing, DoDonPachi works really well!
Is it possible to improve sound quality though? Sound is horrible.
I tried to add --samplerate 44100 in GMenu2X parameters, but I don't notice any difference. It's not CPS1 game is it? :huh:

Nope, DoDonPachi is a Cave game.

The sound definitely needs to be improved, but there are so many other aspects that needs to be improved as well. I'm just glad that it's getting better for every new update.

AND GOD IS GOOD WITH USSSSS !!!!!

I CAN'T EVEN imaginate that I'm playing Do Don Pachi on my '2x !!!!!


THANKS A LOT HeadOver HELL!!!!

Very good emulator. Even plays NeoGeo raster-effect games without graphic glitches. We just need an option to go into the rom-bios settings.

DoDon Pachi plays great. And these Games have the right resolution of 320x240 - perfect! If my crappy GP2X F100 Stick would be better, I really could play these Shmups forever.

Ill translate it later. It says that it has updated the romset, and cave games that werent working because of memory (esprade,dfeveron....) are now working)

 

[DynaMight]

Now all this Emu needs is a Notaz ™ GUI

 

[sirlol]

* romset updated to MAME's 0.117 and some clones added
* CPS1: fixed saturday night slammasters problem
* CPS2: Decyphering(?) rom functions and upper memory support added. Many of the games already work without cache files. Other games like DDSOM aren't still working because of memory management problems
* Cave : fixed some problems *gamelist
* New games
... list ...


Sorry about my english, but it's been a long time since last time i had to use it

 

[Manjuu]

I have not been able to test all the games, so I ask those who test the emulator and want to contribute, you indicate to me in this thread the games that give problems so that I can correct them in future versions. Indicate the exact name of the ROM.
Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT: Thank you very much, HeadOverHeels.

 

[Alghazanth]

Another excellent release in such a short time ; out of words to say guys ; you absolutely rule !

By the way do you know which CPS2 games run without needing cache files ?

*notice pretty soldier sailor moon and gals panic and drop unconscious*

 

[fusion_power]

I would like to know, if older Romsets work with the new Version before I update the Emu? I don't have MAME 0.117u3 Romsets. ^^""

 

[naples39]

Mille Miglia! Very cool.

One more feature I'd like to see though is how CPS2Emu has a really nice feature where it detects if it's a six button game (like SF2), and automatically changes button assignments to a SF2 SNES layout.

 

[Rivroner]

Rivroner must be sleeping, otherwise I dont know why he hasn't posted this yet...

I have been working from 6 A.M to 6 P.M

Now, after a shower and a needed meal i will try this excellent emulator
