Final Burn Legends 1.4 This is an update to Final Burn Legends originally ported by nes6502. Many core components have been updated to the latest PC version of FBA and it also uses elements from FBANext by lantus and code from the skilled community over at the Neosource forums. Many new ROMsets have been added and several games are now working that either didn't before or had issues that are now fixed. In addition, this release contains Xbox-optimised PGM drivers by iq_132. Updated DATs are included in the tools/ folder.

(thanks to Neo369 & PhilExile) - Hardware filter bug fixed. - Dipswitch and input updates for several games (by BisonSAS) - Screen size default can now be set in main video options. Individual game sizes will override this and can still be set in the in-game menu as before. (see note below) - Preset screen sizes for the Darius, Ninja Warriors, and Pac-man games. (The super-wide games should look pretty perfect on a 16:9 TV now) - Widescreen Fix option for 4:3 display on 16:9 screen. - Cabinet marquees can now be displayed on the ROM browser screen. - Option to toggle video preview sound. - New default skin, Blue Fire Arcade. (by Neil222) - White screen issue with image viewer is fixed in default skin. (by Neil222) - Screenshots and marquees are available to download in a separate 'FBL Extras' package. I STRONGLY recommend downloading this as it improves the look and feel of the interface immensely. NOTES: - This is NOT an upgrade install and a clean installation is highly recommended. If you simply try to copy the files over an earlier version you will most likely experience problems. Game specific configs and other support files can easily be copied across from a previous installation. Please only report issues if you are running a clean install. - When setting the default screen size using the new feature it's important to keep in mind that vertical games will rotate your settings by 90 degrees, so the horizontal width will become the vertical height when rotated etc. Just play with the settings until you find a happy medium. - A good note from the original author is worth repeating: RELEASE THE SOURCE! Don't take mine or anyone else's work and not release the source. Everyone should get to benefit and future developers should be able to improve the code whenever current development stops. Many thanks to: - nes6502 for his excellent Xbox port of FBA. - iq_132 for the Xbox PGM drivers and countless other driver additions. - kenshiro for his updated drivers and fixes. - The Neosource community for many FBA code updates and fixes. - lantus for FBANext - Treble Winner for the updated FBA - Neil222 for his help and the new default skin. - Neo369 and PhilExile for the rotation fix. - Special thanks to neoryu for his testing and support. - And to Alinky for her HDTV and patience.
