FinalBurn Alpha WIP

Busy, busy, busy...

Been very busy with real life as of late so things have slowed down a bit. I have worked on FBA sporadically over the weekends when I've had chance though. Now starting to see some results so here is a status update;


System 18 is pretty much done - I've added some System 16/18 bootlegs as well. Some of them are better emulated than they are in MAME. When I understand them all or I can't make any further headway then I'll tidy up the MAME System 16 bootleg driver and submit it. There is also emulation of column scroll and row scroll in the System 16 tilemaps. Just a couple of issues left with it.

I've added generic lightgun support for up to four players to the burn library (Laser Ghost was the last straw!) and converted all current drivers to use it - makes adding lightgun games less annoying!

Added some generic graphics decoding which made it much easier to decode graphics resulting in getting the 8bpp sprites working in Honey Dolls.

Knowing that graphics decoding was now much easier I decided to look at one of my favourite games, Great 1000 Miles Rally. Driver is preliminary, but it works fine with sound. Some sprite priorities need looking at but otherwise it's pretty good. I will look at adding other Kaneko 16 games to the driver too eventually.


A mention goes to some of the excellent postings on the FBA forum by Oopsware. He has submitted drivers for Video System and PGM hardware recently as well as a driver for Gals Panic. It's good to see somebody else interested in adding drivers to FBA and doing such a good job in the process.
