The new FBA-XXX Pro package is now available in the usual places (xbins, IRC, etc.) and is complete with XBE so no more patches are required. (though I will also continue to update the patch linked to in the old thread).

 

Please use this thread for any comments, questions, or bug reports. The information below is taken from the documentation so please read it if you haven't done so already as it addresses many of the most commonly asked questions.

 

Enjoy.

FAQs

How is this different from FBA-XXX?

---------------------------------------

The main purpose of FBA-XXX Pro is to support the latest and most accurate ROMsets available to the emulation scene. A great many changes and additions have been made to the rather outdated sets supported by the original build, including new parents, new clones, new bootlegs, support for both encrypted and decrypted Neo-Geo sets, as well as the latest CPS and other set updates from MAME. Alot of new code has been added to improve the accuracy of the emulation, there are some minor tweaks and bugfixes to the emulator itself, and a new default skin (a modified version of the excellent Fighter skin by Duracelleur) is included.

 

Both Romcenter and ClrMAMEPro DATs can also be found in the package so please make use of them to ensure the ROMsets you have are the ones FBA-XXX Pro requires. And don't forget you'll also need the Neo-Geo bios set (neogeo.zip) in your ROMs folder.

 

 

Why 'Pro'?

----------

FBA-XXX Pro is so called because it is primarily intended for those who are a little more serious about ROM collecting and/or emulation than perhaps the casual user. The newer ROM dumps required by many of Pro's supported sets can be far more difficult to acquire than the older files found in FBA-XXX. For this reason I would say if you can't find the necessary sets and just want to play the games you would be much better off sticking with the original non-Pro build.

 

 

A ROMset is giving me errors but it works fine on another emulator, what's up?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FBA-XXX Pro requires the most up-to-date ROM dumps. Please use the DATs to find out which of the files in your set need updating.

 

 

Can I not just use my old sets with FBA-XXX Pro?

------------------------------------------------

Like FBA-XXX, Pro has the option to disable the CRC check on ROMs before loading. This means that providing the files in your set are named correctly you should be able to play from any combination of decrypted ROMs. However this completely defeats the point of using FBA-XXX Pro and this option has only really been left in for testing purposes.

 

 

What are all the new sets you say are supported?

------------------------------------------------

You can check the DATs or the included gamelist.txt for a list of all supported ROMsets.

 

 

Why can't I reset the game with L+R+White like in FBA-XXX?

------------------------------------------------------------------

Because some users found this combination too easy to press by accident. L+R+Start is the new ROM reset combination.

 

 

Why are the game names so long on the ROM list screen?

------------------------------------------------------

If you don't like it you can click the left thumbstick to switch between long and short names. FBA-XXX had this option too but Pro's long names are more complete.

 

 

Why isn't "XXXX Super Magic Ultra Plus Hack" supported?

-------------------------------------------------------

FBA-XXX Pro only supports hacks that come from genuine bootleg boards or cartridges. ROM-hacks are deliberately not supported.

 

 

I can't find this ROM anywhere. Can you tell me where to get it?

----------------------------------------------------------------

No. So please don't ask.

Sorry about the previous post. My comp is screwing up atm.

 

Yeah Glitch I just figured out what my problem is. I needed to mess with cpu speed and now all seems good with nightwarriors. It took me a while to figure that out though.

 

Looks like I got nightwarriors sorted out. CPU speed was the root of my problem. Sorry for the previous post btw; my comp is acting funny.

Do you mean FBAXXX or FBAXXX Pro? Cause if it is Pro, they do not work.

No, I meant FBA-XXX. The reason is that Pro is now using the exact same VMM routines as FBA-XXX so I want to establish whether 720p compatibility is the same in both builds before I start trying to fix anything.

 

This release is really buggy. Metal Slug 5 worked for me the first time I ran it, but it didn't afterwards.

Now in terms of ESP Rade, it doesn't work for me, but it works for someone else.

very confusing.

The ESP RaDe issue could also be down to CPU speed. Increasing this setting can cause alot of strange problems with many games, I usually just leave it at 100%.

 

The reason you're finding this release buggy is because you're running everything at 720p. I have no HDTV therefore Pro's 720p support is totally untested. Fixing problems requires that I rely on the bug-reports I get from users with the necessary equipment. This is how 480p support got fixed and hopefully 720p is just a matter of time.

im running it at 720p, n did not see any glitches on ESP RaDe + T +

That's why I'm assuming it must be due to settings. And CPU speed seems the most likely culprit.

Anyone else having slight audio stuttering on CPS2 games? I've turned off all my software filters and I've noticed that all of my CPS2 games' sound routinely stutters every minute/minute and a half. Now this was not much of an issue with 1.17 (I checked before posting again)

 

The audio is great but it has some hiccups on 44100hz, PCM on, FM on. I used 48000hz on 1.17.

What is the latest version of FBAXXX?

That's because Pro is now using the same VMM routines as FBA-XXX. You will mostl likely find that FBA-XXX has the same problem. Does changing any of the audio settings make a difference?

 

What is the latest version of FBAXXX?

The latest version is the 18/07/06 build.

[neoryu]

The problem is more noticeable on FBA-XXX. I noticed that regular FBA-XXX has always had this issue to a greater degree. I've done a clean install again--same thing. Gonna try changing my settings randomly.

great Software

[Thraxen]

I think I may have found an error in the DATS. The C1 and C2 ROMS in syscheck.zip are the exact same ROMS.
