Fba2x - Finalburn Alpha Beta 6 Released


Has anyone been able to get Aero Fighter or Battle Bakraid to work? The roms load but after that it kicks me back to the gp2x screen. Also I tried Sonic Wings 2 and 3 and they seem to have the sound issue that plagues them in GNGEO2x as well. Does anyone else have these issues? This is an amazing release though. Playing most of the Raizing games and Cave games on the go is amazing. Thanks again HeadoverHeels for continuing this project. Thanks Squidge for starting this project.
 
I couldn't get Bakraid to work either. Have you been able to get Battle Garegga to work? Now I'd love to play that one, I can tell you!

What other Raizing games have you managed to get working?
 
Compatibility List for FBA2X Beta 6:

The ROM sets tested were formatted using ClrMame Pro to the correct sets used by FB Alpha v0.2.96.72. There might be some errors as FBA2X sometimes reject ROMs even if they are working; a restart of the GP2X is necessary. Please notify me if there are errors, as well as typos. :D

Thanks for the list. We should probably add this as a sticky or put it on a wiki page for this emu.
 
It would be quite cool if someone made a front end for ALL the current arcade emus which ran the best emu for the game.

It could just look like the MAME front end but when playing say a CPS1 game it didn't use mame but this emu etc.

I imagine the package would include all the arcade emus in one neat set.

Here is the few neo geo mvs games which i tried:

1)Ninja commando-works full speed
2)Last resort-works full speed
3)Burning fight-Works full speed
4)aero fighters-not working
5)aero fighters 2-not working
6)aero fighers 3-not working
 
One other thing I really like about this emu is that it plays the NeoGeo games that have Rasters really really well. Galaxy Fight, Spin Masters, Zedblade, and others are full speed with rasters at 260. I figured I'd just point that out since GnGeo2x has issues with rasters.

Yupp, I had tested "Neo Turf Masters" on FBA2x and there are no Graphic glitches with Rasters. But like in GNGeo, enabled Raster Effects need Processor Power and the Emulator has to be overclocked. With GNGeo and without Raster effects on I can play Turf Masters at 200MHz Full Speed (and in Console-Mode without time limits!). ^^
It would be great if one of the Emu's could play these Games with Raster on and Standard Clockrate. :) But Overclocking is ok to (when using an Power adapter)

fba2x isn't good as neo geo mvs emulator, fba 2x can't play all the neo games and neo emulator has better features here is the difference below:

1)Neo geo emulator goes back to rom list and fba2x can't do that.
2)neo geo emulator is making use dual core and fba2x isn't
3)neo geo emulator supports tv out and fba2x shows 2 screens on tv
4)Plays nearly all neo games and fba2x plays few

ok without raster effects the games are running good on fba2x, the neo emulator doesn't give any problems the fba2x will never be good as neo emulator with few more updates the neo emulator will surpass the fba2x by miles.

I believe the FBA2x emulator is excellent. The CPS2 emulation seems to be *very* speedy, ie. DDTOM (Dungeons and Dragons Tower of Doom) runs at full 60FPS with 22050 sound at 220Mhz and with out the need to create graphic caches (as per cps2emu).
This is one of my all time favorite games (check out my avatar!) so I am very please that I have two emulators to choose from. If the other D&D game ends up running alright then I probably won't even need cps2emu anymore though that has high score saving which I quite like.

Which brings me to my question - does anyone know if FBA supports High Score saving like MAME?

How many games did you test? I didn't try any CPS2 on FBA as the sound on all other stuff like CPS1 is very stuttery/garbled/distorted. Is the sound for CPS2 on this as good/clear as the dedicated CPS2 one? Maybe the difference is that extra chip?

Sound will be better in the next version. Headoverheels has rewritten the sound rendering code.

CPS-2 sounds way better compared to CPS-1.

CPS-2 seems to run a little faster in FBA2X compared to CPS2emu, without needing cache files. When I tested the games, they seem to run a few frames faster overall. Although, the increase in speed might be attributed to inferior(?) sound or settings; I can't say for sure. :p

Also, FBA2X can play two games that CPS2emu currently cannot: Choko & Jyangokushi

That's good news! Hopefully someone can give this a half decent frontend as well?

Does anyone know how you overclock this?

The Selector frontend that FBA2X uses can be used to overclock it.... I believe it's the Volume controls that does it, and there is a clock speed indicator on the lower-right.

(You could also use GMenu2X or the CPU speed tweak to overclock. :p)

What is compatibility like with FBA when it comes to CPS2 games though? Do games like Marvel vs Capcom, X-Men vs Street Fighter and Street Fighter Zero 3 work ok?

CPS2Emu takes some beating in my book, with a bit of overclocking it runs the games nigh-on perfectly, with brilliant sound and a steady frame rate. The whole 'caching of ROMs' issue doesn't really bother me either, as I have plenty of 2GB SD cards lying around.
 
Umm.. did you not look at the Compatibility List I posted? :p

Those games don't work at the moment; most likely due to memory problems as they are the larger games.

As for now, CPS2emu still is the better emulator for CPS-2 games; same goes for GnGeo2x for the NeoGeo games.

Well FBA2X could surpass them both eventually if it keeps on improving, and also if it gets a frontend of the same calibur like that of Capex or Rage2x. :lol:


EDIT: FBA2X currently plays 19 out of the 40 CPS-2 games, with 2 of them being only playable in FBA2X. :)
 
I hope FBA does become as great as you suggest because it would be nice to have one emulator for CPS2, CPS1, NeoGeo, etc.

As you say the frontend issue is what keeps FBA from being as 'appealing' as other emulators, but I guess this can be sorted pretty easily. :)
