    For the first person to be working on a new version of FBA-XXX

    in Final Burn (FBA/FBL/FBC)

    Posted · Edited by - kenshiro -

    Honestly i have no idea :( Giving a date would be a lie cause i really don't know, there's still a lot of work to do (especially on Neogeo sets) and bugs to fix :P

     

     

    One more time, i forgot a thing lol . By added Raiden i've found a bug in the UI. In fact, this one has a very long manufacturer name and makes crash the Xbox when you scroll down the game list. I fixed it :banghead:

    ive been trying out progear on fbaxxxpro and then ive tried progear on the normal fbaxxx(newest version),is it just me or does the images on screen look slightly better or clearer on fbaxxxpro.

    im just playing it through a scart cable.has anyone else noticed this. :)

     

    As i said you in PM, your eyes are probably ok, cause FBA-XXX Pro CPS2 code is more recent than normal version. So it's probably true ;)

     

    Question - Is it feasible to bring RAIDEN from Mame to FBA?

     

    Sorry to repply just now, i always forgot things :ph34r: lol.

     

    Oopsware ported this driver to FBA a few time ago :P (thanks to him :banghead: )

    I added that stuff to FBA-XXX Pro, this one use two Nec V30 processor instead of a 68000 : http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/raiden

     

    There's 4 sets of this game, and now FBA-XXX Pro have a new CPU core :( (seems work fine)

    edit/is thunderblade,desert breaker and ddcrew playable on your version of fba kenshiro?

     

    Thunderblade is playable, DDcrew if i'm right is protected by FD1094. and need to verify for Desert Breaker :(

     

     

    Edit: Confirm that DDcrew and Desert Breaker are FD1094 encrypted games, so unplayable at the moment (iq_132 gave me advices and things to look at in order to solve this problem, thanks to him ;) ).

    would you still leave them in when your biuld is released as i would still like to have the chance to try them thanks.

     

    Don't worry about that, they will stay in the build ;)

     

    edit/would adding a function to disable sound help a bit with galaxy force,gloc

     

    It isn't necessary. I mean, this games have slowdown, but not enough to be unplayable. It's only slowdowns, not low framerate every time ( we can speak about low framerate only on Galaxy Force, and even this one is still playable)

     

    I don't have a play on a Xbox MAME build for a while, but the games like Mortal Kombat was really unplayable with sound ;) So it can't be compare ;)

     

    Moreover, i don't have evidence that it the sound that causes this slowdown (maybe someone can confirm that? :( )

    To be more specific, Neogeo macros works fine, but there's a bug. Try to change macros and launch a game. Newer macros are not recognized. Then quit FBA ,go back and launch a game, and changes works now.

     

    I'm completly out of it lol. Sorry for that ;) Seriously it works fine for me :P

    However (tell me i'm wrong), i noticed you can't access to Neogeo Macro directly in a game, in configure buttons menu, but have to go in in game menu/ controller option/ controller configuration. Can you confirm that Cospefogo? :(

     

    For the coin button, can you be more specific? when i changed mapping from main menu it's always work, but during a game it does not work, even after a game reboot. I have to quit the game, relaunch it and it works ;) Do you have the same issue?

     

    Thanks

    Sorry Cospefogo i forgot to reply to your post :) I'll ckeck for that issue. Thanks for noticed that ;)

     

    Hey Kenshiro!

    Thanks for your reply. The coin button bug was confirmed to me (through PM messages)

    by + T + himself, so it is there.

     

    And I have something more - can you please test the NEO-GEO macros? There

    is no way to make them work here in my FBA-XXX 1.28.

     

    I just assign the normal/default macros, but my NeoGeo games does

    no recognize them. What am I doing wrong?

     

    Example:

    A+B assigned to WHITE

    C+D assigned to BLACK

     

    I was playing Samurai Spirits 2 and they don't work!

     

    * * *

     

    And a suggestion:

    Can we have (for God's sake) a LOCK MODE OPTION for the controller settings

    regarding if it is ARCADE or ANALOG?

     

    For example: You go to settings and there is a option like

    - LOCK CONTROLLER SETTINGS: in ARCADE MODE

    - LOCK CONTROLLER SETTINGS: in ANALOG MODE

    - LOCK CONTROLLER SETTING: unlocked (BOTH MODES)

     

    Why I ask this?

    Everytime I have friends plying here they find a way to mess

    with my config options (changing from arcade to analog).

     

    I use only Hori Arcade sticks in the house or classic

    not-analog pads (PSX, Saturn).

     

    Well, that's it.

    I am happy to hear that SHINOBI is working fine now.

     

    Regards,

    Cospefogo.

     

    Ok i'll check that (one more thing to do lol) :P

     

    Thanks Cospefogo ;)

     

     

    Edit:

     

    Example:

    A+B assigned to WHITE

    C+D assigned to BLACK

     

    I was playing Samurai Spirits 2 and they don't work!

     

    It works fine for me, i tried on Samurai Shodown 5 :( I'll try another game.

    so what do you think would be the chances of getting turbo outrun to work kenshiro? :)

    or maybe thats asking to much for the xbox to do.possibly a ram issue.

     

    In reality, Out Run Hardware needs a small amount of RAM , and runs at full speed on Xbox :) , like others Sega hardware BTW (System16A, System16B, Space Harrier Hardware, X Board).

     

    However, Y Board is an exception: Y Board Hardware

     

    This one is more powerful than previous hardware, look at the CPU specifications :) In this case, the problem is not the amount of RAM, but the power of Xbox CPU . So games like G-Loc, Rail chase runs beetween ~ 45-60fps, with sometimes slowdowns to 40fps. The slower game i noticed is Galaxy Force 2, with slowdowns to 35fps. Honestly i don't if Y Board could run better with some Xbox optimisations, who knows? :huh:

     

    For Turbo Out Run, i can't test it due to that bug in FD1094 encrypted games, however Out Run is playable :) ( stiil need to make inputs properly) :)

    Thanks Gavin ;) . I've found a nice one: like before, launch a neogeo game and launch Gaia crusaders. Can you try this please?

     

    I tried several games with Gaia but couldn't get a crash. One that I did find was Blazing Star to Action Fighter always crashed. Some other combinations -

     

    Andro Dunos > Alex Kidd

    Baseball Stars Pro > Outzone

    Double Dragon > Truxton

    Super Spy > Superman

    Ninja Combat > Rastan

    NAM 1975 > Battle K Road

    CTHD > Action Fighter

     

    All worked ok.

     

    For the crash concerning system16 drivers don't worry about that, this drivers were very preliminary (so unstable) when they were added to 1.28 , all seems ok now :D

     

    Well, it looks like a problem. Obviously, i never noticed a crash when launch a CPS1 or CPS2 games after a Neogeo game (i remember that it happened sometimes with 1.28, with launching a set of Punisher). BTW it is a thing of the past, cause CPS code was completly updated :) (and currently updated)

     

    Thanks Gavin ;)

    BTW, if someone could verify the following issue it would be cool. Launch a Neogeo game and next go to "others"section and launch a game. Let me know if it make crash your Xbox. If it don't, try one more time with another "others" game :D

     

    Thanks ;)

     

    I'll double check, but I used to jump back and forward between Blazing Star/Pulstar on NG and DoDonPachi/ESPrade on Others without a crash.

    Gentlemen,

     

    There is something strange on FBA-XXX Pro 1.28 here.

    Can someone please make a test to clear my doubts?

     

    There is absolutely no way of making the controller shortcuts

    to work in my FBA 1.28. I tried to assign A+B to black button,

    and C+D to white button, or A+B+C to white, and so on... but

    they do not work.

     

    If I turn off the controller shortcuts in the settings panel, the

    options for shortcuts disappear from the in-game controller

    settings, and if turn it on, they are back, but there is no

    way to make it work.

     

    So, I assume it is buggy on the current 1.28 version

    just like the change Coin Button option... am I right?

     

    Can someone please try to assign A+B to BLACK button as a test?

     

     

    Thank you!

    Cospefogo.

     

    PS. Kenshiro - Great news on FBA... I am really looking forward

    for the promising 1.29 version!

     

    Sorry Cospefogo i forgot to reply to your post :naughty: I'll ckeck for that issue. Thanks for noticed that :P

    Even if it was ported it probably wouldn't run as well as CPX3 anyway

     

    Absolutly agree with that :banghead:

     

    I can confirm that. It runs like crap (FBA's CPS-3 needs ~1GHZ).

     

    Anway, kenshiro, if you need any advice/help/someone to bounce ideas around with, let me know.

     

    Thanks for that iq_132. I send you a message 2 days ago on Neosource, i don't know if you saw it :lol: I got new stuff for you :(

     

    Thanks again :thumbsup1:

    The official FBA does support CPS3 now, so why not port that code instead?

     

    Personnaly i think it isn't necessary. In fact, there's already CPX3 which works pretty well, and ported FBA code to XBOX would need a lot of optimizations.

     

    Moreover, add the incredible numbers of new FBA drivers to FBAxxx Pro is already a nightmare :lol::( , i prefere concentrate the work on stuff that don't exist on XBOX ( or very preliminary), like PGM :thumbsup1: , which needs like Neogeo special optimizations :banghead:

    *********** I am wanting to do a new version of FBA and completely change the GUI around... let me know if your keen to work with me - kenshiro - :)

     

    Yes it would be great, i send you a PM as soon as possible ;):banghead:

     

    I just finished to add the sega drivers improvements (specially sound) from the last FBA release: http://www.barryharris.me.uk/article_view.php?id=92

     

    It was tested very quickly ( and not test system1 drivers), but it seems to work like the PC version! B) ( i hope lol)

    Recently I did see few people interested in work on a new version

    of FBA-XXX Pro. I was eagerly waiting for the 1.29 version announced

    in other topic but it looks like it is completely dead.

     

    This is completely alive. The reason why i haven't release this version is a bug with the Sega games who are

    protected with the FD1094 encryption.

     

    To be more specific, these games boot on a black screen without crashing the Xbox. I past the last weeks to fix it without success <_<

     

    For the moment, here is the things who have been done:

     

    - CPS1/ CPS2 games matches the last MAME version ( still need to rename some sets to perfectly match MAME 0.124u1 :o ). It means of course that CPS2 games use real CPS2 decryption (without XOR).

     

    Curiously, CPS2 decryption is very fast on Xbox :punk::punk: ( loading time never exceeds teen seconds! :blink: ). Games are 60 FPS stable!

     

    This drivers were taken on Neosource, thanks a lot to iq_ 132 :thumbsup1: , i just add this driver clean-up to FBAxxx Pro with modified a very few things. He did all the work :thumbsup1:

     

     

    - Added all Sega drivers from FBA ( only missed the recent system1 drivers and the sound improvements from last FBA release). excepted the FD1094 problem, all works well, a signifiant numbers of games are playable ! it's real a pleasure to play Shinobi, Altered Beast for example on Xbox ;)

     

    - Added a lot of drivers from FBA in "others" section, i will post the dat as possible ( currently i'm not at home).

     

    - some new options in UI. Now you can switch between previews, flyers and PCB's picture, and small other things.

     

     

     

    Due to real life stuff and a problem with my internet connection ( someone broke it), my work became very slow. Moreover, i have to say that i start to learn programming at university since September 2007, and now i realize that it's very difficult for me to fix problems like FD1094.

     

    Being a non english speaker is another difficulty, reading technical documentation is sometimes a pain in the ass, i appreciate my dictionnary :lol:

     

    It would be pretty cool if someone can take a look on this or help, because on the one hand, releasing a version with about 100 games that don't boot sucks :ph34r: , on the other hand almost off the others games work pretty well :thumbsup1:

     

    I hope i spoke properly and everyone understood what i said lol.

     

    PS: if anyone wants to send me a message, i'm available until tomorrow afternoon, after that i have to wait until my connection be functionnal, don't worry if i don't reply immediatly ;)
