Topic: FB Alpha Enhanced R1 to R14 [v0.2.96.72]

[lxd_bruce]

Oh I see, I didn't know that  , they must have updated the 'patch.cpp' with the latest MAME PLUS! 'patch.c', I was taking a look at the MAME PLUS! source but it's a bit complicated to convert to FBA, it will take me some time to study the variations and stuff, and I cannot promise anything soon because I'm not working on FBA Enhanced all days like I did with FB Alpha Extras.

btw, I think FB Alpha Shuffle source is private so I'm not sure if they will give me the IPSV3.x code.

SeeYaa!
 

I see. I can wait.

FB Alpha Enhanced R7



Hi everyone! I know this isn't much for Christmas pre-celebration but I hope you like it. Maybe I'll do a Christmas release with more stuff.

ThanX to all who make drivers possible and still loving FBA  .

R7 [December 24, 2007]:

    * Included new Splash and Preview bitmaps.
    * Fixed a bug when saving game configuration files, now it doesn't try to save
      unicode characters from game titles. This bug is present in the official FBA.
    * Added BisonSAS's latest update to the Seta 2 drivers. [ThanX to BisonSAS]
    * Added Epos drivers released by IQ_132 (d_epos.cpp). [ThanX to IQ_132]
    * Cleaned 'Recently Played Game' code, now it's smaller, accurate and doesn't leave stuff in memory.
    * Modified the FB Alpha title to FB Alpha Enhanced.
    * Added an extra key to Pause a running game, now you can use the 'P' key too.
    * Added directory creation code for IPS patches, if 'ips/' is not found it will be created.
    * Updated 'd_neogeo.cpp' to match MAME v122 [ThanX to KOF2112].

    * Imported options to save Title and Ingame preview from "FB Alpha Extras R18",
      now you can choose to save between four different previews for both types,
      the first one is the main and the other three are alternate previews.
   
      Ex. sfa.png (main)      #1
           sfa-p02 (alternate) #2
           sfa-p03 (alternate) #3
           sfa-p04 (alternate) #4
 
      ...to locate this feature check out 'Misc' menu and go to "Save Preview..." option.

Enjoy!

thanks,CaptainCPS-X updated FB Alpha Enhanced R7

Why not in updated FB Alpha Extras R20?

[CaptainCPS]

thanks,CaptainCPS-X updated FB Alpha Enhanced R7

Why not in updated FB Alpha Extras R20?

I stopped the development of FB Alpha Extras on R20, but FB Alpha Enhanced will be like R20 and better in the future

btw, there is a probability that I make FBA Enhanced closed source for a time, because I dont have much time to be doing code packages. Anyway it will be easier for the users that want to use the new features or that doesn't have compiling experience to just get the binary and Play !

SeeYaa!

I bring some bad news and some good news about FBA Enhanced R8

For the ones that wanted IPS, I have to say bad news, I will disable IPS for the next release because of it's current state in my build, when IPSv3 is ported to FBA I will probably add it again. Good news are that I'm implementing the Favorite Gamelist feature imported from FBA Extras and as soon as I finish implementing it I will do the new release with some other surprises (if I get the enough time to add them , if not, then anyway I will keep updating FBA Enhanced with more stuff in the future).

New drivers made by IQ_132 are already added and the updates by BisonSAS (Gals Panic drivers too  ), so ThanX guys!.

Merry Christmas!
SeeYaa!
 

[CaptainCPS]

R8 is coming very soon, I'm making sure the 'Favorite Gamelist' feature is working fine so that's why I will call this progress preliminary. It doesn't include the 'Play Counter' column (like in FBA Extras R20) because of an issue retrieving the info from the game configurations.

Here are some previews 





SeeYaa!
 

[CaptainCPS]

Emulation9 (news site) posted about this. I suppose, therefore, it should become generally known to the world.

Cool!! , I check Emulation9 every day but I was not expecting my build to be in their news, so its pretty cool! ^^

ThanX Robert for the info 

SeeYaa!
