-
- Q) What is Final Burn Alpha?
-
- A) Final Burn Alpha is a continuation of FinalDave's fantastic Final Burn emulator.
- Currently Final Burn Alpha only emulates CPS2 and to a ever slightly lesser degree CPS1.
- Final Burn also emulated After Burner, Galaxy Force and Sega System 16 hardware, and one
- day so will Final Burn Alpha. FinalDave is in no way connected with the Final Burn Alpha
- emulator so don't ask him about it as he probably has better things to do :)
-
-
- Q) Where can I get the roms?
-
- A) We will not answer questions like that. Also we will not tell you where to get files
- that you are missing, such as correct roms, XORs, or anything else.
-
-
- Q) How do I make my own preview snapshots?
-
- A) Follow these rules
- 1) The preview PNG has to be either 160x120x24b or 120x160x24b.
- 2) It looks for the clone PNG 1st, then parent. For example, if SFZ2A.PNG doesn't exist
- then it will look for SFA2.PNG.
-
- Q) Hey, add <insert CPS-2 game name here> so I can play it!
- -or-
- Why is <insert CPS-2 game name here> unplayable?
-
- A) The game is not listed and not playable since no XOR files has been released by
- CPS2Shock. The XOR file is needed to decrypt the game. If there's no XOR files, then
- it can't be emulated. When a XOR is released it takes some time before we can make a
- new release, so just wait!
-
-
- Q) How do I use the Arcade resolution feature? 384x224 is not a standard VGA resolution,
- is it?
-
- A) No, it's not. Some drivers for videocards have the ability to add custom resolutions,
- however. Matrox and NVidia drivers are examples.
-
- You must add 384x224, and 400x384 for the feature to work with all supported games.
-
-
- Q) How can I make Final Burn Alpha run faster?
-
- A) Try to change some of the GUI options:
-
- Video -> Buffering Method
- Change
-
- Video -> Screen Resolution -> Other
- 640x480
- 320x240
- 320x200
- 400x300
-
- Video -> Screen Depth
- Change
-
- Sound -> Sample Rate
- Change
-
- Sound -> Frames
- 3
- 6
- 10
- 15
-
- Sound -> Enable Codecs
- Turn Off
-
- If anything goes wrong just delete the finalburn.ini file, or change things back to the
- options that worked before.
-
-
- Q) FBA 0.2.x runs a lot slower than older version.
-
- A) Try switching to Video -> Normal Stretch.
-
-
- Q) What does DinpInit Failed mean?
-
- A) It probably means that you have to install DirectX 5.0 or higher.
-
-
- Q) When I play games online the controls are messed up. Why?
-
- A) You either have really bad lag or you are playing with a person who got a different
- Final Burn Alpha version then the one you got. Always make sure you get the latest Final
- Burn Alpha build from the homepage. It works ok for other people.
-
-
- Q) I need help with a version of Final Burn that is not Final Burn Alpha! Please help me!
-
- A) No. We hardly have time to support Final Burn Alpha and we sure are not going to support
- someone elses code.
-
-
- Q) I want to suggest you add one or all of the following:
- FPS display,
- Re-add sega games,
- Brighter scanlines,
- Add other game systems,
- Filtering/image enhancement.
-
- A) We already know that people want these features. They might get added at some point, but
- no time frame has been set for adding them.
-
-
- Q) What are know bugs in Final Burn Alpha?
-
- A) Read the Known Problems.txt for a small list of known bugs.
-
-
- Q: The cheat has a * in the cheat name, what does that mean?
- -or-
- The cheats with a * in the cheat name doesn't work!
-
- A: This cheat has some comments in the fbcheat.dat file. It explains what you have to
- do to make the cheat work. Open the fbcheat.dat file and check what it says under the
- name of the game you're playing.
-
-
- Q: The cheats doesn't appear!
-
- A: Make sure you have the fbcheat.dat file in a cheat directory. If FinalBurn.exe is in
- C:\FB\ then the fbcheat.dat file has to be in C:\FB\Cheat\
-
-
- Q) Where do I report bugs and make suggestions?
-
- A) Any Questions/Comments/Suggestions/Bug Reports should be directed to:

-
- Q) I have added a cool new feature to Final Burn, what do I post it to get it put in Final
- Burn Alpha?
- -or-
- I have started to add a new feature to Final Burn but I need help, what do I do?
-
- A) Either post a message on the Final Burn Developers Board:
- http://www.xsorbit.com/users/LEvilElmo/index.cgi?board=fbdevelop
- or email your code to deadbloke@yahoo.com with a breif description of what it does or
- what it should do and we will look at it and maybe include it in Final Burn Alpha. Don't
- be upset if we don't include it as we may have your own ideas on how to do something.
