+ | ==Overview== | ||
+ | This open-source project is based on Final Burn (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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Final Burn was one of the first 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 Final Burn Alpha remained at a standstill, with only a few updated drivers. Nowadays, 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. | ||
