This is impossible.
.fba is just dumps of memory glued together with little additional info. Filenames are not retained so you can't do .fba -> .zip conversion automatically. If you want to use modified roms, you'll need to modify FBA as well, because it relies on checksum of files inside .zip

Just forget .fba, it was a dirty hack for systems with little memory (less than 32Mb) and which didn't support memory swap. ezxfba and derivatives (fba2x for Game Park and fba320 for Dingoo a320) had special support for .fba inside FBA core, but it was ugly and didn't work with savestates.

Thanks for the updated translation templates guys.

The site is in a state of flux for now whilst it's being updated.

I have imported your templates to a new WIP module to keep them maintained though. Should hopefully make them easier to maintain! :)

No - I've wrote my own. No idea what they use, but we have our own file format. I'm a web developer by trade so it makes sense to do my own anyway. :)
