FB Alpha or FBA as it is commonly known is an emulator of arcade games, that is, it takes the program code, graphics data, etc., from an original arcade game and emulates the hardware to make the game run in it's original form. You need a copy of neocdz.zip and neogeo.FB Alpha 0.2.97.08 is released.The support is still a work in progress, there are several things to know : This libretro port also support various features which are usually buggy or absent in MAME cores (netplay, rewind, retroachievements. Overall, FB Alpha is slower than old MAME version but more accurate and less buggy. This is not MAME, we are using different code. Game XXX runs faster in MAME2003/MAME2010, why ? Most likely for the same reason as above.

If it is not enough, upgrade or overclock your hardware. Try lowering audio settings in the core options.Try disabling rewind, runahead, and anything related to the savestates system in retroarch.Check if there is a speedhack dipswitch in the core options, set it to "yes".Your hardware is probably too slow to run the game with normal settings. If the problem persist, write a report with a screenshot and the name of the platform you are using. Most likely the same as above, make sure you have the right romset. There is also a few games marked as not working, try one of their clones. Build a valid romset with clrmamepro as said above. It is either not supported or you have a bad rom. Let's hope someone will fix them in a future release of FB Alpha. They are buggy in FB Alpha and have serious compatibility issues with this port. Support for those games was removed from the libretro port. I can't launch Killer Instinct, Rampage, Mortal Kombat 3 and other MIDWAY games, why ? Modern : it will apply the King of fighters mapping from Playstation 1 and above in neogeo fighting games, and it will use R1/R2 as 5th and 6th button for 6 buttons games like Street Fighter II (for the same reason as the neogeo games), this is really convenient for most arcade sticks.įrequently asked questions Where can i find the XXX roms ?.Classic : it will apply the original neogeo cd "square" mapping in neogeo games, and use L/R as 5th and 6th button for 6 buttons games like Street Fighter II.We don't have a convenient tool like the MAME OSD, instead we use the retroarch api to customize mappings, you can do that by going into Quick menu > Controls.įor those who don't want to fully customize their mapping, there are 2 convenient presets you can apply by changing the "device type" for a player in this menu :
Samples should be put under SYSTEM_DIRECTORY/fba/samples hiscore.datĬopy hiscore.dat to SYSTEM_DIRECTORY/fba/ Mapping You can emulate consoles (with specific romsets, dats are also in the dats directory) by prefixing the name of the roms with XXX_ and removing the zip|7z extension, or using the -subsystem XXX argument in the command line, here is the list of available prefix :

It can cause new romsets to appear and slight changes in existing romsets.Ĭurrently, to build a full set for fbalpha-libretro (arcade), you'll probably need the following romsets from MAME 0.198 : While i generally try to stay in sync with the latest fbalpha release about this, sometimes i have to sync with the current dev version for various reasons.

Use clrmamepro (which runs fine on linux with wine and on mac with crossover) to build valid romsets with dats from the dats directory.ĭon't report issues if you didn't build a valid romset.Īlso, i don't provide a "parent-only" dat file, this is usually a bad idea to only use parent roms (some don't work, and some clones are interesting) Romset differences between fbalpha standalone and fbalpha-libretro
