FB Alpha - http://fba.emuunlim.com
-----------------------------------
FB Alpha is an arcade emulator supporting the following hardware platforms;
- Capcom CPS-1

- Cave
- Neo Geo
- Toaplan
- Taito Rainbow Islands/Operation Wolf/Rastan
- Psikyo 68EC020 based hardware

What's New?
-----------
v0.2.95.23
This is still an alpha release!
Note that, if compiled with GCC, you will need to use version 3.3.x, and
the experimental DirectX 9 blitter is not built.
- Changed the way FB Alpha looks for ROMs. Now, it will always check the last
path for any given .zip file, even when a .zip file of the same name is
present in another path. This way, we can keep ROMs that are only needed
for FB Alpha separate
without sacrifising compatibility with other emulators;
- Changed the way Neo Geo memory cards work, allowing the use of 1 megabit
cards;
- Emulated protection in Super Sidekicks (was patched before);
- Fixed the last few bad game names / bad ROM definitions;
- Fixed a few minor issues in the makefile for mingw/cygwin;
- The debugger is now only compiled for debug builds;
- Minor updates to compile documentation;
- Fixed a crash at startup for some systems when autopause was activated;
v0.2.95.22
This is still an alpha release!
Note that, if compiled with GCC, you will need to use version 3.3.x, and
the experimental DirectX 9 blitter is not built.
- Implemented workarounds to the FB Alpha executable to allow the use of windres
as the resource compiler (it cannot zero-terminate strings or use a string as
an RCDATA resource);
- Cleaned up the makefiles (variables/options now defined in the main makefile);
- Fixed a few game names / bad ROM definitions;
- Fixed CPS1 games sound / crashing if started as the 1st game;
- Fixed the Psikyo games that use an YM2610 for sound;
- Fixed a few problems with ANSI builds;
