Final Burn Legends 1.5

[Cospefogo]

Here something that happened to me:

 

I like to have my roms on a neat and simple order.

I prefer simple names, just one version per game and that's it.

So, following the advice from +T+ I did add all my games to the favorite list,

and, using a text editor, adjusted all names (and even rom order) to match

my ideal list. No presence of long names, version info, dates, different countries

and so on...

 

THAT IS MY ULTIMATE and PERFECT romlist.

 

BUT, a friend came to my house and accidentally pressed black several times

and removed a lot of my faves. I can add them back, of course... but I will need

to adjust the file again to correct my neat setup!

 

Where I want to go?

 

+T+, my suggestion is to have a LOCK FAVORITES inside the general options menu.

This way we can keep the faves SAFE from accidental game removing!

What do you think?

I order my roms exactly like you do Cos. i Like things neat and just one zip per game.

Unlucky on the favourites thing. A lock for certain settings is worth looking into +T+.

Implementing that would take me a lot more time than it would take you to simply back up your favourites file.

Yeah...

I need to agree.

I fixed my faves and already made a backup.

This idea occured me few minutes after my previous post.

this gave me an idea... would it be possible to have a dat file that makes clean names(ie, takes out the country release and so on) and edits/takes out unwanted roms (pr0n, mahjong, doubles, etc) that could be included with the releases? of course leaving that full dat file too.

 

maybe a xtra's thing?

I think you just need to open the current .DAT file with a editor

like Notepad++ (it's free and a superb light editor) and

have some nice time adjusting the games on the way you want.

 

Great idea indeed!

it's spelled tristanx... you know, unhappy with an "x".

 

looking at this with notepad gave me a headache.

 

notepad++... never heard of it, i'll check it out.

 

[note to self: must keep idea's to myself. leaves me open to start and accomplish something]

ClrMAMEPro has a function whereby it will create a DAT form whatever ROMs you have in a folder. So technically you could create whatever custom DAT files you like. Removing the ROM information from the DAT file won't have any effect on the ROM name that appears in the emulator as the names are a hardcoded part of FBA. You can create a favourites file though, containing all your games, and remove any unwanted ROM information using any text editor that supports replacing strings with regular expressions.

Hello,

And thanks to the developpers and other guys who make this possible !

FBL is really a great emulator on XBOX (maybe my prefered one)

 

I have a question :

I used to play with a roms full set I made for FBL 1.3 (w/out Genesis games)

I downloaded FBL 1.5, and a zip pack with new games updated from FBL 1.3 to 1.5.

I used the FBL 1.5 file with RomCenter to check my old roms.

And ...

It seems that some roms (CPS1, CPS2, etc.) still not work with the new FBL 1.5 version

And they are not included into the updated roms pack 1.3 to 1.5 I found.

For instance : pang3, dynasty wars, hyper street fighter 2 Anniversary Collection, etc.

It seems that the right roms for these are the MAME compatible roms ??

I am right ? And why can't we use some old FBL 1.3/FBAlpha roms with FBL1.5, since they worked fine before ?

Thanks.

 

PS: Apologise a french guy for his bad english

First off, I'm sorry your French.

 

Second the games you mention do work. You need to update your romset. Roms get updates/fixes over time. It's best that get mame roms .141 set and use romcenter or you can google an emu xtras site and get goodies you need.

It's not just a matter of whether the games work fine or not. The latest MAME sets in most cases reflect newer and more accurate dumps of the original boards. This may not mean much if you just want to play the games, but to anyone who is more seriously interested in emulation (such as myself) it means a great deal to have the most recent sets supported.

 

And just a little heads-up; anyone who doesn't like updating their ROMs is going to hate FBL1.6!
