Title: A little WIP update
Post by: jan_klaassen on August 14, 2017, 02:05:43 PM
This is some of what I'worked on lately, and will be released shortly (I am still working on integrating some of the UI code with the game drivers and a few other details). Unfortunately this will have to be separate from the official version.

dx9 blitter:
switches to the most appropriate refresh rate available, e.g. uses 50Hz if available for PAL consoles.

new, scalable overlay (inludes new fonts/icons, controls for all players or just player 1, and frame count/time/graph for input recordings).

dsound3 audio output that uses a synchronisation object for more efficiency and accurate timing.

support for full cd rom rips in raw format.

MIDI input:
fixes several long standing problems:
new file format for savestates/input recordings:
when playing back input recording, allows to switch from playback to recording at any time.

new cross-platform command line interface.

windows gui
PGM emulation:

As in, none of this will ever be part of the official FBA? Or just not soon? I'm confused.

Of course we might use some features from his build - for example: the star next to favorites in the list, and we also plan to upgrade our dx9 blitter to have a nice overlay in a similar fashion, but, for now you'll have another choice in FBA ui's.  (Add to the list of fba-rr, FBL, FBA Shuffle, Retro Arch, FBA Plus!, etc.).

best regards,

What, if anything, will be ported is not my decision to make. On the other hand, there really isn't an official version of fba, so there are choices. Or fragmentation. We will have to find out which.
