Release Final Burn Alpha ported to Pandora (FAQ in first post)

[PowerGod]

I set windjammer to use c z80 and the speed of the initial music is corrected, but there are still no voices ingame... is there something else to change ?

You can also map keys using a kmp file

eg fba-dave/config/default.kmp

KEY_UP 273
KEY_DOWN 274
KEY_LEFT 276
KEY_RIGHT 275
KEY_FIRE1 278
KEY_FIRE2 281
KEY_FIRE3 279
KEY_FIRE4 280
KEY_FIRE5 303
KEY_FIRE6 305
KEY_COIN1 306
KEY_START1 308
KEY_PAUSE 112
KEY_QUIT 113
 

You can also map key for individual games by putting a kmp file in fba-dave18/config/games

eg fba-dave18/config/games/outrun.kmp

KEY_UP 273
KEY_DOWN 274
KEY_LEFT 276
KEY_RIGHT 275
KEY_FIRE1 278
KEY_FIRE2 281
KEY_FIRE3 305
KEY_FIRE4 280
KEY_FIRE5 303
KEY_FIRE6 304
KEY_COIN1 306
KEY_START1 308
KEY_PAUSE 112
KEY_QUIT 113

Windjammers needs both the C Z80 core and Force M68K selected.  This should always be tested for games that don't seem to work as they are the standard FBA cores, nothing is guaranteed to work with cyclone or drz80

 

[PowerGod]

oh, thanks, now it's perfect. I'll try to play with those options even in the other games

Awesome!  Works now.  Probably fix other Neo Geo games ekianjo has trouble with as well.  On a side note, are you thinking of implementing more filters and scaling for FBA?  Wishful thinking: Scanlines with fullscreen would be awesome!

I deleted my FBA appdata folder which solved the nub issue I was having, but now after doing a scan for new games FBA quits without saving the results.

 

[Dave18]

Never had Capex crash while scanning....  

Would normally suspect a corrupted rominfo.fba or zipname.fba but ifyou've deleted the appdata this doesn't seem likely.

Have you checked that the rompath in capex.cfg is pointing to a valid location?

Has the SD card become read only? fat32 seems to default to that if there is any file corruption.

Anything useful in the pnd_out?

 

[Ian J]

I'm having two issues with the new version. They are:


1. When rescanning the list of games, it crashes after reading the internal game database.


2. When playing a game (such as Marvel Vs Capcom), the music cuts out after a few seconds.

This poster is having the same issue, maybe he can post back here if he solved it.


I have removed the appdata folder & downloaded the pnd again.


The roms are in the default folder as they were before.


I took a copy of the appdata folder before I deleted it to try & solve the nub issue, I'll extract that again & see if that solves it as the scan ran fine before deleting the app folder.

Kof 2000 and 2002 dont work for me anymore even with the cz80 option. And windjammers has no sound in game.

Don't know about Kof, but windjammers works with all the sounds using "Force M68K" and "C Z80"

EDIT: Asura series works with the same as windjammers, and seems a little better playable then before

They work fine with me using ForceM68K and CZ80

#1 is still occurring and #2 was fixed by using "Force M68K" and 'C Z80". Also, there are some other issues that need fixing:

1. I'm getting "[!: not found" errors (in line 34 of ./capex.sh and line 67 of fba.sh).

2. I'm still getting "underrun occured" errors while emulating a rom (such as Marvel VS Capcom).

Never had any #1.  I rescanned, rescanned, rescanned, and rescanned -> no issue.  Are you on SuperZaxxon 1.55?

I will try with ForceM68k - and come back and report.

 

[Zero3K]

I am on SuperZaxxon 1.55.

Then I have no idea.  I'm just talking off my @$$ here, but maybe one of the roms is bad....

Edit:  May wanna reflash?  I don't know...

I Placed the roms in the folder created by FBA

This is my pnd_out:

Never had any #1.  I rescanned, rescanned, rescanned, and rescanned -> no issue.  Are you on SuperZaxxon 1.55?

Yep I updated via the "Upgrade Pandora OS" menu option.

You can also map keys using a kmp file

eg fba-dave/config/default.kmp

KEY_UP 273


KEY_DOWN 274


KEY_LEFT 276


KEY_RIGHT 275


KEY_FIRE1 278


KEY_FIRE2 281


KEY_FIRE3 279


KEY_FIRE4 280


KEY_FIRE5 303


KEY_FIRE6 305


KEY_COIN1 306


KEY_START1 308


KEY_PAUSE 112


KEY_QUIT 113

You can also map key for individual games by putting a kmp file in fba-dave18/config/games

eg fba-dave18/config/games/outrun.kmp

KEY_UP 273


KEY_DOWN 274


KEY_LEFT 276


KEY_RIGHT 275


KEY_FIRE1 278


KEY_FIRE2 281


KEY_FIRE3 305


KEY_FIRE4 280


KEY_FIRE5 303


KEY_FIRE6 304


KEY_COIN1 306


KEY_START1 308


KEY_PAUSE 112


KEY_QUIT 113

This seems the easiest method, is there a list of the Pandora's keymap somewhere so that I can start customising my controls.

 

[ekianjo]

Ok I retried neo geo games with cz80 and forceM68k and that did the trick ! Thanks for your help.
