We don't have a convenient tool like the MAME OSD, instead we use the retroarch api to customize mappings, you can do that by going into Quick menu > Controls.įor those who don't want to fully customize their mapping, there are 2 convenient presets you can apply by changing the "device type" for a player in this menu : Samples should be put under SYSTEM_DIRECTORY/fba/samples hiscore.datĬopy hiscore.dat to SYSTEM_DIRECTORY/fba/ Mapping You can emulate consoles (with specific romsets, dats are also in the dats directory) by prefixing the name of the roms with XXX_ and removing the zip|7z extension, or using the -subsystem XXX argument in the command line, here is the list of available prefix : It can cause new romsets to appear and slight changes in existing romsets.Ĭurrently, to build a full set for fbalpha-libretro (arcade), you'll probably need the following romsets from MAME 0.198 : While i generally try to stay in sync with the latest fbalpha release about this, sometimes i have to sync with the current dev version for various reasons.


Use clrmamepro (which runs fine on linux with wine and on mac with crossover) to build valid romsets with dats from the dats directory.ĭon't report issues if you didn't build a valid romset.Īlso, i don't provide a "parent-only" dat file, this is usually a bad idea to only use parent roms (some don't work, and some clones are interesting) Romset differences between fbalpha standalone and fbalpha-libretro
