http://www.logic-sunrise.com Presents FBNAext Beta Release 1 by LSteam
=====================================================================
 
On 4th Oct 2002, Lantus and TMaul coded and released the original FBA-X Beta 1 for the Xbox. Almost 8 years later the old team has reformed and in association with Logic Sunrise is proud to present FBANext - FB Alpha for the Xbox 360.

InGame Menu / Exit rom : "LT + RT + RB"

Service Mode : "LT + RT + RBump"

Notes
=====
 
FBANext has been a long process. I got the idea of coding this many months ago. It was apparent that initial builds would be problematic. FBAlpha was developed purely for Win32 or Little Endian environments. Unlike most other source code, there is no easy Big Endian define to enable. Many weeks of frustration let to initial breakthrough of some CPS1 games working. From there it has been many hours of fixing each driver to work on a big endian platform.
 
Not every rom has been tested. With almost 3000 roms, its practically impossible to find every single issue. So we need your help. Please use the source code repository to log any issues you find. We are confident however, that around 90% of roms run correctly.

Also, keep in mind that some drivers have some slowdown. Taito and some Sega 16 stuff in particular. Since most of the focus has been driver related work and endian issues, very little performance optimization has been done. This will be addressed in future releases. For now, disabling any filtering should get around the issue.
 
The source code has been provided. We feel that teams not releasing source code for their homebrew is only hurting the 360 scene. We encourage you to play with the code and do anything you want with it. Keep in mind this is an unofficial port so please don't bother the official FBAlpha developers with any Xbox related issues. If you are interested in becoming a committer or contributor in the source code repository please contact me. Also, be aware that we are a small team and like to keep it that way. You will need to prove yourself and show us something good before you we can make you a code committer.
 
Finally we have tried to make the source code portable. Wii/PS3 versions should be possible using the SDL input and Graphics code. For ports to other big endian platforms you will need to provide your own burner interface. Unfortunately we arent able to build under these environments but maybe some other talented people/teams can give it a shot.

Hopes
=====

FBAnext is an open source Project. The goal is to give more people the ability to port easily others systems, with features  develpped in FBAnext, like full screen 1080P resolution, graphic filtering and other stuff. If you're interested, all contacts are at the end of this NFO.

Artik
 
Todo
====
 
- Code optimizations
- Better button config options (Macros/Presets etc)
- Driver fixes we missed this time around
- Rom Auditing
- Cheats
- Patches
- 68k CPU overclock option
- Better aspect ratio/full screen modes to fit different size screens
- Anything else we forgot.
 
 
Bugs
====

- Savestates may be a little flaky.
- European region Genesis/Megadrive roms run poorly. For now run the USA/NTSC versions instead.
- Skin issues.

thanks so much guys, I just did a google search to see what was the big deal with Little Endian vs Big Endian and I now see why porting software that was written in Little Endian is so hard. Also eggs.

Gonna test this out later today. biggrin.gif

I think it does, if I remember correctly Freeboot .31 and up removed checks in the kernel that made memory encrypted, which is something that stopped development of emulators because they require dynamic memory access. The readme of freeboot might be more informative.

its not freeboot or XBR related. There currently is no rom auditing done to tell you that you have a bad set. It will just freeze up. its on my todo list for the next version

You will need to find updated sets to use with this emulator

Well.

I tested some rooms.

CPs1 runs great

CPS2 - 50/50% worked from me. ( Street Alpha2,3 , Samurai , Marvel vs Capcom etc no one loads )

No One Neo Geo rom worked for me. The Game loads but graphics all messed up.

Some other Arcade Roms worked fine

I'm using "Coin Ops Roms from my xbox1"




Finally there's a 7.8gb pack of Roms on bt.XS Filter - Do not link to Torrents Sites on xs. **.cc .  laugh.gif

If you are having problems with Neogeo roms and they are all the newest romset check your neogeo.zip bios. The old one I had was 265kb and I had the problem of roms graphics messed up. I downloaded a mew neogeo.zip bios that was 865kb and that fixed the glitching roms. I had to get new sf3 roms that were labeled NOCD. And had to get new sfa roms and they booted as well.

Thanks to all that contributed tho this emulator I like how you can play Street Fighter 1 and Martial Masters on this everythibng looks good and very well done. Since this can play my Konami roms I amn hardly going to be using mame.

Do the roms have to be in .zip format? I have the genesis full romset but they are in .bin format and they are not detected by fbanext.

At work right now so can't test yet but the roms in the megapack on logic-sunrise seems to work fine.

Many thanks for the release, you are a credit to the community.

Hey I disagree with the guys in the prior posts.  I like that you can set your button configurations for each game.  For example CPS1 and CPS2 games [I set my street fighter button configs different from say my final fight or xmem vs sf].  Please keep that as is as a global config would change everything and thats not good for all games.  Its best to keep it as is, once there set for that game there set.

Also I cant seem to change the UNI-bios region for Neo Geo games. Im trying to set for USA AES (Console) or is it possible you can add the AES USA option to neo geo? If you can set the UNI please tell me how.  I've tried all kinds of button congurations and it shows up on loading a game as Europe Arcade than goes away.  Other than that i have no problems out this fantastic emulator.


We are talking about a similar configuration like FBA for Xbox1 where you may config buttons globaly per system before you choose a rom, but you may still have individual configurations per ROM if you wish.

For Example, I play lots of neo geo and the 4 button config is messy if I leave the 6 button CPS2 config.

I hope I'm making sense here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

I understand you but do you understand me as well.  Take for example Neo Geos Garou.  Their 4-button config slightly differs from the 4-button config of a king of fighter game, i would have to constantly change the global back and forth for neo geo.  Also the 6 button config for street fighter would not affect your final fight or magic sword config if we were talking CPS1.  Maybe it would be great if it has both options like mame360.  You know how you can have a general input config or you can config this game only.  That would be cool and every body would be happy biggrin.gif .

Does anyone know how to change the region in the UNIBios area and could other UNIBioses work like UNIBios 3.0 or something.

Reset doesn't work also like one guy said prior to me.

This emu is awesome biggrin.gif brilliant

Noticed a few bugs (Information for developer):

In ghouls and ghosts (and poss other games) If you load state too many times the sound will distort
It will sometimes freeze when loading roms
Some graphics layers are out of place, e.g you can see sprites on top of the trees
Neo Geo roms seem to have heavy graphics errors (although that may be me)

Apart from that its perfect

Thanks to everyone that made this emulator possible.
The only problem i ran into was that i didn't know it required HazeMD format roms for Megadrive ( Which i found on Usenet today )

Everything that i have tried worked and looked great using the filters.

Excellent work .... I love it !!!

It would be nice to have the menu access using standard buttons. Because some people play with arcade sticks where triggers are not used.
So to change the buttons, I have to boot up my console with joypad as nr.1, change settings, turn console off, and turn console on with arcade stick as nr.1

Not really : push Xbox button, select turn offcontroller, then power up your arcade stick. To remap them, turn off arcade stick, and turn on controller.

I can't get this to run on my console. I have a Jasper 265 with XBR3 and use FreestyleDash 1.20. FBANext is located on an external drive at "USB://Emulators/FBANext/" and I have some (proper) roms located inside the folder. When I start the emulator I get a black screen and nothing happens. My system is still responsive to the guide button. Any help is greatly appreciated.

that sound strange, it should even start up with no roms...
try to copy it over again, and dont miss any folder inside the FBAnext Beta1 folder.


PS: could there be a problem with xbr and this emu? im using freeboot now and i think almost everyone else too...

Thanks for the replies. I've forgot to mention that I have created three separate folders. My directory structure looks like the following:

USB://Emulators/FBANext
USB://Emulators/FBANext/roms
USB://Emulators/FBANext/titles
USB://Emulators/FBANext/previews

When I boot up FBANext for the first time (using the settings as described in my previous post) nothing happens on-screen. However, on the external USB drive a lot of folders are being created. I've tried booting for a second time hoping it was just a cache problem, but no. I've also waited for quite a few minutes but nothing seems to work.

I have three bad blocks on my BB NAND and would like to avoid updating to Freeboot. I've seen people report it should work with XBR3, therefore I'm not jumping on updating. If nothing else will work I'll have no choice but to do so.

So your FBA Folder contains only 3 more folder (roms, titles, previews)
what about the other 14!!!! Folders in the archive?
no wonder it doesnt work... :-/

and why did you create those tree folders seperatly?? why didnt you just copy the whole extracted archive over...

Thanks, now I know what the problem must be. I'm using Linux and my archiver works a bit different. I'll try unpacking with WinRAR.

Hehe ok smile.gif
the biggest problem should be the missing "media" folder that contains almost half the data of the archive wink.gif
extracted correctly everything should work fine i think

Just tried out the beta and it's quite well done ... however, can the Left Trigger and Right Trigger buttons be mapped?  I only saw options for Left/Right Shoulder and Left/Right Thumb

Not really : push Xbox button, select turn offcontroller, then power up your arcade stick. To remap them, turn off arcade stick, and turn on controller.


Oh yeah, that could also work.

So how about icons and preview/ingame pictures? Any special size or format?

why not create them with the emu and then look at the file format.

I've only used a few arcade emulators(MAME) and have never used Final Burn Alpha, but does this one support CHD's?  This emulator seems epic though, and will have to test it out for myself once I start messing with my 360 again.

This is a fantastic piece of work! Much respect.

Is there a way to resize/reposition the screen? My DLP TV has some overscan issues which result in the first few characters of each game being cut off in the game selection screen.

MAME360 supports multiple rompaths (e.g. roms1, roms2, roms3) specified in its ini

If this could be implemented in FBANext as well, it'd be awesome!!

Well this is a nice emu but ive never been real big into arcade stuff so...

But anyways how do you play genisis roms on this. I know they have to be hazemd format from what ive read but i dont know how to convert the ones i have into that. Ive know i can get full romsets but id really like not to do that as i only have a few that i play, and yes i own the original cartridges.

Ive looked around and i cant really find a good explanation of how to do it.

Well, I've found this genesis rom converter:

http://codeisle.com/downloads/?did=5

But the converted rom still fails to show up.

I would also like to play my collection, since PuyoPuyo 2 is not in the linked romset.

I finally got my JTagged xbox 360 fixed and finally tried this emu. I'm in love with it. This is one of the reason I got the jtagged box. Mame360 was ok, but this kills it big time smile.gif. You have all the games I was playing on mame and then some. Can't wait for the next release. Keep up the good work ! Now I hope my xbox will survive a bit longer smile.gif

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

That would make it perfect, and I would certainly feel like I wasted some money on the XBLA port, FBA makes all my old favorites run and look great @ 720p
