The-Ice-Man Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) When it comes down to it, what's your goal with FBA? The impression I get is that it's one of two things. Either to take FBA as it is for it's ability to accurately emulate the heavy games, like SFA3, MvC etc, and then dress it up to look like CoinOps coz you prefer it's interface, sorting, autofire etc. Or, you want to take CoinOps, which you're already happy with, and give it FBA's ability to play the heavy games really well. I'm not sure the first one would serve much purpose, as it'd still be FBA, with its select number of games, only tailored to your personal preferences in looks and features. The second one, would mean you'd have CoinOps, with its much larger set of games, only the big bad CPS2 fighters wouldn't be a problem for it to run anymore. That would be something useful, for those who like the older games, as well as the new ones. Of course we're talking a serious fusion of two fundamentally different programs there. A major step of which would probably be updating to FBA's newer romset, as it's the new versions of the CPS2 roms that FBA can run so perfectly, not the old ones. Ultimately I think it seems that you don't like FBA, but you like what it can do. It can run the later Capcom fighters as if it were on the real board, and then add hardware and software filters on top of it to boot, without dropping in framerate. Which is pretty impressive. If it could play SFA3 Upper as well, I wouldn’t have any need for my copy of SFA Anthology on the PS2 anymore.

BritneysPAIRS Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 my aim is to tidy the FBA interface...... so I need to know where it can be improved its as simple as making it work easily. The design phiosopy ill be using is diff from CoinOPS as sort though 1000s of games isnt needed. So just to relayout settings add a few more options redo some keymapping stuff and improve skin engine...remove multi layer aproach with Left/Right tabs at least an option to flatten it completely Ummm I like FBA as an engine alot better than CoinOPS its a bit mixed up layout wise but the bones of the Emulator are greater than CoinOPS. I would have choosen FBA for sure to improve in the past but the biggest let down is there are 100s of good games missing so I went with Mameox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 So will you try to add any games to FBA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritneysPAIRS Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 might do but at present people want more games in CoinOPS in the vote otherwise I would certainly try to a few bigger games ... im assembling a list of stuff I want to do and the order to do it really and see how far I get though the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Ice-Man Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 CoinOps can play the following games (that I'm interested in), where FBA can't: 64th Street, Air Duel, Asterix, Asura Blade, Blade Master, Caliber 50, Captain America, Cyvern, Dragoon Might, Dungeon Magic, Gunbird 2, Ninja Baseball Batman, Rampage World Tour, Raiden Fighters 1,2+Jet (I think you said you could get Jet to work), Revenge of Death Adder, R-Type 1+2, Shadow Dancer, Spiderman, Splatterhouse. Then although they may not ever be possible to get running properly with sound, Mortal Kombat 1,2,3+UMK3 and Strikers 1945 2+3. If FBA had all these then that'd be it for me, I'd have everything I want to play in one place. I'm sure most could be added to FBA without problem, but they were missed for whatever reason.

I'm sure most could be added to FBA without problem, but they were missed for whatever reason.raiden fighters1and jet dont work in coinops.shadow dancer and a lot of the system 16 games like altered beast,eswat,wonderboy3 worked on an earlier biuld of fbaxxx that kenshiro had for testing last year.strikers 19452and 3 and a lot of games that work to well with sound go into settings turn off frameskip and put sound quality to low,strikers 1945 3 plays great this way.for the mk1,2,3and ultimate and also rampage world tour use mameox0.72,they play great on there with sound or you can try using the settings that i mentioned above.there is also the standalone with the games ripped from the xbox midway treasures(mk1,2and3)they play perfect.
