FBA-XXX is the better of the two for running neogeo roms.

Unless you are a programmer only the binary form is any use to you.

I'd use KawaX for Neo Geo games before I'd use FBA-XXX or MameOx

Why?




Seriously, why? wink.gif

I prefer the way kawax is set up over fbaxx. I don't know if I have an older version of the emulator or what but I just like it a lot better then fba. Either way both are better for neo-geo than even the new mameox even though it does a decent job of running neo-geo now.

Yeah I feel the same way about Kawa-X I just like it better then Fba-x. One of the reasons for this Is the version of FBA-x i had always started the roms in console mode as oppose to arcade, and I would rather play the games in arcade mode then console. Also i thought switching fba to console mode was more of a pain then it was to switch between the two in kawax. That and it just in my opinion plays the games better then FBA-x plus it's not like your missing out on any games by using kawa-x instead of Fba-x. wink.gif

uh yeah you do actually

FBA-XXX can play the newer games such as metal slug 4 +5 and the new kof's

where as Kawa-X (the official version not hexed ones) cannot (authors show of respect, which you cannot say is bad)

Haha... I knew there were others like me that prefer KawaX.  It simply runs the games better than FBAXXX.  Again, I challenge anyone to play the Metal Slug games on FBAX and then KawaX.  You will notice more slowdown on FBAXXX than KawaX.  Now maybe using the overclock features of FBAXXX can fix that, but the fact that you would have to do that indicates that KawaX is better at running the games,

...or maybe it just indicates that FBAxxx is better because it has more options.

I don't notice any slowdown in either emulator, but with the overclock features, why would you use KawaX over FBAxxx, there aren't ANY features that KawaX has that FBAxxx doesn't.

I'm not trying to force anyone to use FBAxxx, but I don't understand why someone would rather use an emulator with less features and support for less games.

okay lets take a look at this objectivly.

Metal Slug 2 (arcade) lots of slowdown!!

Metal Slug 2 (kawax) if its a correct emulation of NeoGeo = lots of slowdown!!

Metal Slug 2 (fba-xxx) if its a correct emulation of NeoGeo = lots of slowdown!! (no slowdown with overclocking)


Apparantlty not everybody is aware of the fact that Metal Slug 2 suffered
from huge amounts of slowdown on the real Neo hardware.

Hmmm...  I have both on my XBox and FBAXXX seems to have a lower frame rate than KawaX on some games.  Or maybe it's all in my head  blink.gif

Anyway, on the new version of FBAXXX it has that second "MAME Dump" xbe.  So if you use that one then both MAMEoX and FBAXXX should be able to use the same ROMS, correct?

is it just me or does any one else get "audio drop outs" with fba-xxx i got it over clocked to 190% seems to work better then 200% for me but i have tried both , but fba-xxx just seems to have pauses in sound all the time like when ever anything "big" is about to happen and kawa never did this , is there any way to overclock to say 250% vi ini? i have tried but still had no luck ,also im using mame roms vi the mame compatable xbe just for neo-geo and no cps.

as for the topic sake, mame ox has its limits if you don't have the extra memory and its known to use more resources then other emus so i can't recomend it for neogeo unless its a simple game like ghostlop or the puzzle bobble games
