I know this is old news, but I'd like to comment that I recently downloaded your source, Ferch, and found your Neo-Geo organization simply superb! That's a very well-done job. I really appreacited the way you organized your Neo-Geo files and the codes, much better than the original. That's why I'm using them on my private build now.
BTW, I'll take this thread's opportunity to share with you guys my own FBA version, too. This is what I call
Final Burn Alpha Custom (or FBA Custom for short).
If this is not OK to post it here, please feel free to edit my post, but I don't really see a reason not to right now, so here are the downloads (please run a virus scan on these files just to make sure you don't get anything I might have since on my machine I never use virus scanners, even though I'm pretty sure my system is 100% clean):

http://rapidshare.de/files/17001927/fbac_src.rar.htmlWhy am I sharing my private version, you may ask? Well, it doesn't differ very much from FerchogtX's FBA Plus or even the original FBA, but it does contain some particularities that someone might be remotely interested in. Also, I like to keep my drivers 100% faithful to the latest MAME ones even if I don't have all those sets and clones myself, so I guess this might make of it sort of an "official" release. My build is completely compatible to MAME 0.104 as of now (with the exception being a few Street Fighter and Neo-Geo bootleg drivers that I don't even include -- I detest bootlegs!). One thing you will notice though is that I make no effort to follow Kawaks' naming convention for decrypted C sets; my file naming pattern is completely different and reflects what I consider to be more coherently put for the moment. BTW, I think they should really change the standard naming for decrypted gfx sets (or for any Neo-Geo decrypted file, for that matter) as it remains too much NeoRAGEx-ish... but that's a matter of personal opinion, I guess.
You'll also find that I've *removed* a few features, either because they were annoying or useless IMO. I know I have removed the entire low-pass function, but that was before knowing how to fix that disturbing noise it used to do when you paused the emu.
I think I'll implement it back soon if I get to "release" another version of it.
Well, I guess that's it. Please feel free to use it as you wish, of course I don't even care to be credited for what little different things are on my build if you guys wish to use any part on yours. But credits for the Neo-Geo organization and all latest drivers on my source goes entirely to Ferch and you guys who made it possible!
