New Version Of The Arcade Emulator FB Alpha2X

A port of the arcade emulator FinalBurn Alpha to the GP2X handheld by headoverheels sounds good, I lack the hardware to try it out though so I won’t try to guess how it runs I’ll just shut up and let the news do the talking:

New features:
• Implemented service mode (L+R+SELECT). Press SELECT+START to simulate pressing 1P START+2P START; necessary to exit service mode in some games from Capcom
• Added support for cache files needed by large ROMs
  Cave:
  • * Fixed: Pretty Soldier Sailormoon
  • * Fixed: Guwange (cache required)
  • * New supported games:
  • - - - Hotdog Storm (hotdogst)
  • - - - Mazinger Z (mazinger)
  • - - - Metamoqester (metmqstr, nmaster)
  • - - - These games use the Z80 core of MAME, so they are slower
  NeoGeo:
  • * Added support for cache files
  • * Updated romset to MAME version 0.125u6
  New supported games:
  • * PGM:
  • - - - Oriental Legend (orlegend, orlegnde, orlegndc, orld111c, orld105k) (cache required)
  • - - - Dragon World II (drgw2, drgw2c, drgw2j)
  • - - - The Killing Blade (killbld, killbldt) (not working correctly) (cache required)
  • - - - Photo Y2K (photoy2k, raf102j)
  • - - - Knights of Valour (kov, kov115, kovj, kovplus, kovplusa) (cache required)
  • - - - Puzzle Star (puzlstar)
  • - - - These games require the ROM pgm.zip
  • * WWF WrestleFest (wwfwfest, wwfwfsta, wwfwfstb, wwfwfstj)
  • Updated CAPEX to support cache files
  To generate cache files:
  • The fbacache.exe program is needed. You need to copy the ROM and those that it depends on to the ROMs directory and execute “fbacache.exe -d [romname].zip”
  • For example with Metal Slug 5, copy mslug5.zip and neogeo.zip to the ROMs directory and execute “fbacache.exe -d mslug5.zip”
  • If all goes well, this will generate the file mslug5.fba; this is the one you must copy to the ROMs directory of FBA2x; ONLY THIS FILE, mslug5.zip and neogeo.zip are not need (unless another game needs neogeo.zip)
