• FBA v0.2.91 Beta:
After what seemed an eternity, loopmaster and his crew have released an new beta version of thier emu, with a full version to be "released shortly". Also, as you may have noticed, the name of the emu has been changed from FinalBurn Alpha to simply FBA, so I made the necessary changes where needed the site. With that said, here is the list of what is new in the beta:
- Toaplan2 emulation.
- Massively improved CPS-2 emulation with support for all currently XORed games.
- Improved CPS-1 emulation with support for the recent (Chinese?) hacks.
- Many, many UI enhancements.
- New blitters - including RGB effects, etc.
- Demo recording and playback
You will find this new version on our
Downloads page.
