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


Thanks Gruso for this great video!


I'm not very familiar with FBA, but what are its advantages over Mame4All, which runs already fine on the Pandora? Is the list of supported games larger?
 
It is a lot faster!


And runs more recent games.

Ive downloaded the pnd file from the repo but I cant get any rom to work, I get a huge list in red color of all the roms, but they are there even when I dont have any roms in the memory card, I dont know how to choose the folders where I have my roms, can someone explain what I have to do to start enjoying my cps and neo geo games?


Thanks for the help. :)
 
New version in repo (1.0.0.4)


Fixed sound issues


added option to rotate or rotate and scale


Smoother display (scrolling in games seems much better)


uses Gruso's capex skin (colours seem different though - haven't investigated)


Moved the launch option so local config is first


script should make conf and preview directories


uses cannoo version of game lists


There's a chance I may have screwed up some of the lesser used screen modes when adding rotate support. If any games display corrupt gfx let me know.


@NeoG - you should update to this version and put roms is appdata/fba-dave18/roms/
 
@Gyges


Just tried Battle Bakraid and it works fine. Haven't got kof2003 but kof2002 works ok. I would suggest closing other apps before launching kof2002 as it is pretty memory hungry.

yeah but if you use a 512mb swap file itll run no problem.
 
great job dave, just tried my fav game (street fighter) and this works very well! cool - thanks for your continous efforts.


i was trying to merge some code from the current fba version to see if it enhances compatibility (with games that should work but crash), but without much luck :(

Thanks so much for your great work and for the help with the roms, Ive installed all the cps1, cps2 and neo geo roms, but I see that there are a lot of games that I dont have from the list that is in red in the FBA emulator, ¿are these roms from other systems?


Ive tried a few of my favorite games and most seem to work really great, but I do notice that the sound lags a little bit behind, and its quite distracting, first you punch and then you hear it, ¿does anyone else notice this?


Greetings.
 
^ The list text is colour coded - I can't remember what each colour means off the top of my head but the info is in there somewhere.


There is an option in Capex to list only the games that are present.

FBA specialised in arcade hardware based on M68000 and Z80 CPUs. So it covers fewer titles than MAME, but it's almost like a premium selection of games. Think of it as MAME Deluxe.


@dave 18: I see what you mean about the Capex skin. There's obviously a colour depth limitation there (or something) so I will rework the graphics to suit. (I'll have to ditch the GP2X logo and go with something cleaner like the Capex font.)

If you press 'X' in the selection menu, it shows a list of the color codes and their meaning.


Red means 'missing'. I gues that's the most important one. :)


This is awesome, guys. Thanks!

I'm currently using a large ring-buffer for sound. I'll try reducing the size to reduce the lag on the sound.

Just tried a few games and this is great! Everything I've tried runs full speed with perfect sound and looks amazing on the Pandora. Gruso's skin is awesome and a huge improvement over the default capex skin. Definitely one of the best apps on the Pandora in my opinion. Thanks Dave18!
 
Ok 924 roms are in database.


These following games don't work:


3 count bout (keeps on restarting from neo geo screen)


Blaze on (shows black screen)


Fatal fury 1 (goes back to pandora screen)


Final star force (goes back to pandora screen)


Forgotten worlds (sound is not clear)


Hyper pacman (graphics are messed up)


Hyper street fighter II anniversary (graphics are messed up)
