==Overview==
FinalBurn Neo is an active fork of the FinalBurn Alpha emulator, created by many of the former FBA developers.

The reason for the separation of the older branch, FB Alpha, and new spin-off branch, FB Neo, was due to an apparent disagreement between one [https://github.com/barry65536 Barry Harris] and the rest of the main FBA team members over a licensing issue.

===FBA===
* '''Note:''' Old, discontinued branch.

FinalBurn Alpha, the source-available project was based on FinalBurn (created by Dave in 2000) and has been programmed by a team composed of Barry Harris (Old username: TrebleWinner), Jan_Klaassen, KEV, LoopMaster, Mike Haggar, Hyper Yagami and Ayeye.

FinalBurn was one of the first Capcom CPS2 emulators. When this project came to a halt in 2001, its sources were widely disseminated, which allowed the development of a large number of unofficial versions of which FBA is the most successful.

Differentiated from other emulators by a very large number of supported systems, FB Alpha also offers a clear interface (simple like that of [[Kawaks]]) and excellent performance. The icing on the cake, it is not resource intensive and you do not need to indulge in complex settings to take it in hand immediately, although its menus are natively in English.

After the apparent dissolution of the FBA team (Unknown in which year. Either started or ended in 2007.), the development of FinalBurn Alpha remained at a standstill, with only a few updated drivers. Thereafter, the emulator has experienced a strong revival of interest, having even been ported in an Android version called "[https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932280 aFBA]".

Thanks to the integration of Kaillera, you can even join the servers of the whole world!

Interesting note on the [http://neo-source.com/index.php?topic=3260.0 comparison between FBA and MAME] - FBA is coded for speed, not accuracy, according to iq_132.

===Consoles===
FB Neo is the first derivative of the late FinalBurn concept to start featuring widespread support of home console and computer systems. Neo Geo CD/cartridge was probably the exception as it was supported in FBA. FB Neo is said to emulate the following systems:

'''Consoles:'''
* Mega Drive/Genesis
* Neo Geo CD
* PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16

'''Note:''' According to the new FBN Git wiki, just after mid-2019, "FB Neo also has WIP console/computer drivers for Sega Megadrive/Genesis, ColecoVision, Sega SG-1000, Sega Master System/Game Gear, MSX-1, ZX Spectrum and also PC-Engine/TurboGrafx 16/SuperGrafx."
