v0.2.97.12

Note: This version has some changes to the Megadrive driver. The driver is now based on the MESS software list.

The game shortnames are prepended by md_ to differentiate them from the arcade games where conflicts occur. FB Alpha will look for your roms in the normal zip names, you do not need to create a new copy of the games and prepend md_. It is advisable to have the Megadrive roms in the seventh or eighth rom paths to avoid conflicts with arcade games. Support files will need to retain the md_ in order to avoid conflicts, however.

All Megadrive games are now enabled (except for Virtua Racing because the SVP isn't emulated), most should work, however, some may not.

• Megadrive Changes
  • Updated Megadrive driver based on MESS 0.143u7 software list [Barry]
  • Made the seventh rom path special like the eighth one so that Megadrive roms can be stored in one of the last two paths and still allow supplementary FB Alpha roms to be in a seperate path [Barry]

  • Increased the maximum number for sek handlers to 10 [Barry]
  • Added better SRAM support and support for custom mappers as per MESS [Barry]
  • Removed menu option for making a datfile with both arcade games and Megadrive games, the two would conflict, and arcade and Megadrive dats need to be handled seperately [Barry]
  • Updated the dat file creation module to remove the md_ from the Megadrive shortnames [Barry]
• Added clone of Aquajack to the Taito-Z driver [Barry]
• Added clone of Vigilante to the Vigilante driver [Barry]

v0.2.97.06

This version includes a big change in the Z80 CPU interface. Specifically MAME's Z80 core is now used for all games. This should give better results and make the program more portable. We have done a lot of testing but if you notice any new problems please let us know and we can fix them.

This version also includes changes in the EEPROM code and input assignment code. As well as the changed save states for the ZET interface, these render old config and save files pretty much useless. It is advised to delete the contents of the config\games folder before using this version. Savestates are a bit hit-and-miss at the moment anyway. I plan to pay some attention to savestates in the next version and hopefully boost compatibility.

• Added CaptainCPS's auto monitor aspect ratio code
• Added driver for Unico games

v0.2.95.23

Time for another FinalBurn Alpha release, bringing with it an assortment of fixes and additions. Grab it while it's hot, from our files page. Any bugs / issues should be reported to the FBA official forums.

• This is still an alpha release!
• Note that, if compiled with GCC, you will need to use version 3.3.x, and the experimental DirectX 9 blitter is not built
• Changed the way FB Alpha looks for ROMs. Now, it will always check the last path for any given .zip file, even when a .zip file of the same name is present in another path. This way, we can keep ROMs that are only needed for FB Alpha seperate without sacrifising compatibility with other emulators
• Changed the way Neo Geo memory cards work, allowing the use of 1 megabit cards
• Emulated protection in Super Sidekicks (was patched before)
• Fixed the last few bad game names / bad ROM definitions
• Fixed a few minor issues in the makefile for mingw/cygwin
• The debugger is now only compiled for debug builds
• Minor updates to compile documentation
• Fixed a crash at startup for some systems when autopause was activated

v0.2.95.22

This release fixes a few bugs that crept into yesterdays release. GCC is supported in this release, with a few stipulations. See below for more details regarding compiling this release with GCC. Grab this latest release from our files page.

• This is still an alpha release!
• Note that, if compiled with GCC, you will need to use version 3.3.x, and the experimental DirectX 9 blitter is not built
• Implemented workarounds to the FB Alpha executable to allow the use of windres as the resource compiler (it cannot zero-terminate strings or use a string as an RCDATA resource)
• Cleaned up the makefiles (variables/options now defined in the main makefile)
• Fixed a few game names / bad ROM definitions
• Fixed CPS1 games sound / crashing if started as the 1st game
• Fixed the Psikyo games that use an YM2610 for sound
• Fixed a few problems with ANSI builds

v0.2.95.21

At long last its time for a new version of FBA! On offer are the standard build, the source code and an optimised binary for use on Win9x / Pentium machines. You can download the latest version, from our Files page.

This is still an alpha release!

Note that this version CANNOT be compiled with GCC!

• converted all code to optionally use unicode
• Added a driver for 68EC020 based Psikyo hardware

• Fixed the overclock feature for Neo Geo
• Added a DirectX Graphics 9 blitter (see system requirements, below)
• Performed miscellaneous minor bugfixes

v0.2.94.98

Special Christmas Eve Release!

A new version of FBA has been released, with the following fixes and updates. Please remember that this is still considered to be an alpha release and while we are pretty sure most of the nastier bugs have been squashed, a few may remain. So if you find a bug, please report it to the appropriate forum. All that remains is too wish our Christmas celebrating users a Merry Christmas! And to everyone else, happy Winter Solstice!

There is a new version of FBA available from our downloads page. At present an upgrade .msi is unavailable. Any users wishing to upgrade, should download the standard fba_029497.exe and extract the contents to their installation directory.

This is an alpha release! Again, although we expect very few problems, there still might be some we've not seen.

• Fixed most of the remaining problems in v0.2.94.96
• Shortcut keys have changed
• Directories used by FB Alpha have changed
• Readme updated (read it completely even if you've read the earlier versions)
• The Neo Geo driver now always uses a real AES BIOS in AES mode, more differences between AES and MVS are emulated now as well

v0.2.94.96

All the files are now back online. If you downloaded the previous installer, then you only have to download the smaller upgrade installer this time around. There is also an optimised build for K6 users; as after all, they are people too; Please remember to delete the contents of you cfg/ folder before you start FBA, as the old cfg files will not be fully compatible with the new release.

v0.2.94.95

A new version of FBA has been released. This version fixes most of the problems in v0.2.94.56. If you downloaded the fba.msi last time, we recommend that you wait for the fba_029495_update.msi that should be released later this evening. For all the K6 people out there, an optimized K6 version will be available shortly as well. Please note that certain CPS1 games still lack sound. Downloads are currently available from the torrents page. Direct downloads will be available in a little while. If you are using FB Alpha v0.2.94.56, please upgrade.

v0.129

  • pgearr1_xor_haze.zip ----> pgearr1.zip
