PFBA Vita_mod: Modded version of Portable Final Burn Alpha for the Vita

Quick release with additions/changes to Cpasjuste's awesome PFBA emulator for Vita.

NOTE: This version appears as a new bubble even when updating. I am not quite sure why. But it is safe to delete the old bubble.

Big thanks to Cpasjuste for a great codebase. This release page might be ahead or behind Cpasjuste's repository depending when pull requests are merged etc.

Note: For Unibios support, the file uni-bios_3_2.rom must be present in neogeo.zip

1.07

  • pulled in latest changes by Cpasjuste as follows:
    • PFBA: add option to configure menu(s) button(s)
    • PFBA: add analog support (after burner 2, outrun...)
    • PFBA: add NO_KEYBOARD flag to disable keyboard configuration
    • FBA: fix wrong colors on konami games
    • FBA: fix eeprom (nvram) loading/saving
    • ARM: fix nec cpu (irem, raiden...)
    • PFBA: fix readme.md suppression
    • FBA: update to 0.2.97.40
    • GUI: change menu code (use submenus, should improve smaller resolution systems)
    • COMMON: add skin font size configuration

1.06

  • added rotation options OFF+FLIP (flipped vertical for handheld portrait mode with pad at the bottom) and OFF+CAB.MODE (non-rotated controls for arcade cabs and vertical monitors)
  • fixed FIT 4:3 option so it works even with rotation, and removed the now-unneeded FIT 3:4 option

1.05

  • pulled in more changes by Cpasjuste, such as some speedup in SDL library and the re-instatement of smaller audio buffer to completely eliminate all audio lag.

1.04

  • pulled all audio changes by Cpasjuste, sound seems to be perfect now on PS Vita.

1.03

  • remove unneeded audio buffer hack

1.02

  • reduce audio delay thanks to Cpasjuste, and I made a small change to it to hopefully eliminate the distortion/stutter

1.01

  • support for multiplayer/multiple controllers on Vita TV. Controllers have to be paired before PFBA is started

1.00

  • added "FIT 4:3" and "FIT 3:4" options to force the typical Arcade TV aspect ratio. Many Capcom games have strange resolutions but were designed to fill a 4:3 TV aspect ratio image. Strider and Final Fight are two examples. Without forcing 4:3 aspect these games will look stretched with too much widescreen.

Below are the contents of the original readme.md: PFBA: Portable Final Burn Alpha

The main goals of this final burn alpha port are/were :

  • have a basic but user friendly user interface on non windows devices
  • use a recent rendering interface for speed and effects support
  • cross-platform and code portability
  • easy updates of fba core (no modifications to the original sources)
  • use arm asm m68k (cyclone) core on arm devices

Currently supported devices

  • Linux (sfml, sdl2)
  • RPI 3 (sfml, sdl2, wip)
