| |
| − | ==Overview==
| |
| − | This source-available project is based on FinalBurn, created by Dave in 2000. It 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, allowing the development of many 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's not resource-intensive, and you don't need to indulge in complex settings to take it in hand immediately, although its menus are natively in English.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After the 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. Nowadays, the emulator has experienced a strong revival of interest, having even been ported to Android in a 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.
