v0.2.97.15

v0.2.97.14

v0.2.97.13

This version features what is effectively a new Neo Geo driver. The emulation should be at least as good as before, but now with added support for MVS Multislot and Neo Geo CD. The Neo Geo CD support is preliminary at this stage, compatibility is pretty good, but some games don't work currently.

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.

v0.2.97.11

v0.2.97.10

v0.2.97.09

v0.2.97.08

v0.2.97.07

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.

Thanks go to the neosource forum regulars for a lot of this stuff. iq_132 has written many drivers for older games, and Oopsware has contributed some impressive drivers too. CaptainCPS and KOF2112 have also tidied up some things. This list is from memory and some stuff is sure to be missing. Here's what's new anyway;

This is a fairly big update; changes are summarised below;

From this point forward, all releases are handled by Barry and each external contribution is labelled.

The releases below were available on the old FBA site.

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.

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.

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!

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!

v0.2.94.97

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.

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. Delete all files in the FB Alpha cfg directory.
