Since the first post in the release thread has been updated I thought I'd make a new topic here.

You can always get the latest FBA-XXX Pro package here: http://www.1emulatio...opic=12237&st=0

QUOTE

FBA-XXX Pro
--------------

What is it?
-----------
FBA-XXX Pro is an attempt to re-work FBA-XXX. Its focus is on using the most up-to-date drivers and romsets.

It is primarily based on FBA-XXXb5 though it does use code from older versions, newer versions, and other sources to achieve best possible performance and compatibility.


Why Pro?
--------
Since the main focus of this build is to use the newest released rom dumps, it is perhaps unsuitable for more casual gamers who just want to play the games in any form and don't really care whether their roms are accurate and up-to-date or not. FBA-XXX Pro also supports alot of additional clone sets which most people probably aren't interested in unless they're serious about ROM collecting.


The Patch
---------
The FBA-XXX Pro package now contains everything you need to get FBA-XXX Pro running on your Xbox, with the exception of the main XBE file. To get this you will need to apply the included IPS patch to the 'default.xbe' from the latest release of FBA-XXX (24.04.2005).

So basically you just copy the 'default.xbe' from fbaxxx_24_04.zip into your FBA-XXX Pro directory, and run 'patchme!!.bat'.


The Changes
-----------
Here is a list of the differences between this release of FBA-XXX Pro and FBA-XXX. Note that if you have problems starting any games in the 'OTHERS' category such as battleg or feversos, you may need to delete the old config files for these games from E:\TDATA\FFFF0504.

GENERAL CHANGES
---------------

- Restored original FBA-X VMM routines.

- Fixed it so the emu now runs correctly from disc as well as HDD (DATs, ini, etc. are now created in E:\TDATA\ffff0504 rather than the root directory).

- Fixed DAT generation problem. (NG bios were not being recognised causing messed up DATs)

- Fixed a problem where certain non-working games would always appear at the top of the game list.

- Alphabetized and Capitalized game names (for some reason all sub-titles were in lower case)

- Fixed the default screen size so it does not clip the edges of the game-screen. (If you've run any previous versions of FBA-XXX, you'll need to choose 'Reset Screen defaults' to see the difference)

- Enabled 'bShowFullRomNames' by default. (can still be toggled with Left Thumbstick button)

- Improved the UI and menus.

- Changed Reset shortcut to LTrigger + RTrigger + Start.

- Included Romcenter and ClrMAME Pro DATs.

- Included 'Pro Fighter' as default skin. (a tweaked version of Duracelleur's excellent 'Fighter' skin)

NEO-GEO CHANGES
---------------

- Updated Neo-Geo drivers to use the latest rom releases. (Note that there are some exceptions where the correct ROMs do not yet work)

- Now supports both xxxxd (Decrypted C ROMs) sets as well as xxxxnd (Fully decrypted) sets.

- All decrypted Neo-Geo drivers now use an S ROM (speeds up loading and is more correct).

- Added console mode fix patches to all drivers that require them.

- Fixed pbobblen and pbobblna. (by djohng)

- Fixed scrambled graphics in cthd2003.

- Implented Neo-PVC protection code for mslug5, svcchaos, etc. (by IQ_132)

Man, i applaud all who can find these elusive "UP TO DATE" romsets. I was usin fbaxxx pro for like 5 days and then i switched back to fbaxxx.

Day 1 of fbaxxx frustration
Found out that less than 10% of my neo-geo roms worked

Day 2-5
Tried to rename/redownload all my old roms. Got about 85% of my old roms to work again within the second day. Couldnt find the other updated rom sets. Went back.

Good job and everything but dayum, are the new romsets hard to find. Even my icq channels that never fail came up blank for these little bastards.

Heh... hence the name "Pro".  It's for people who don't mind hunting down the latest updates to ROMS.  You can find the ROMS if you look... you may even be able to find a package of the more popular ROMS on a bittorrent site  

[rake]

You can find the roms if you look... anyway, just a minor bug, but for the in game screen adjustment, the horizonal is non functional.  The strange part is that the vertical is fine.  Everything else is great!

FBAXXX pro rules.  i find it harder to find the weird crappy old romsets for the non-pro!!! with pro i can just pull 'em out of a goodset. way, way, way easier.

[Jonesy_47]

I usually try and stay away from goodset collections (makes you feel more accomplished when you find what youve been looking for) but even in this case, goodsets have not been helpful. Seriously, i cant believe there are this many people who can find these things easily. I usually have no problem finding what i want romwise (even killer instinct images were MUCH easier than some of these sets). Dont  under-STAND....rawr.
ah ha ha...oh well...
