Here is the latest version of the FBANext PS3 emualtor. It is r470 and comes with neo geo driver performance improvements. As most of these releases are only minor updates as they are to help improve the emulators only. For the 32bit color of the emulator, the function points for the sprite and text layer rendering are not necessary. Thus, the switches can be avoided. These improvements are being worked on for multiMAN as well. Thus, be patient, they are working hard on it.

FBANext PS3 r470:

(PS3) Neo Geo driver performance improvements – nBurnBpp is always 4 for PS3
(32bit color) – so the function pointers for sprite
and text layer rendering are not necessary and the switches can be avoided

When we talk about emulators on PS3, the name that will popped out in our mind is this man, Squarepusher, who is behind on some of the popular PS3 emulator ports project such as SNES9x, and FBANext.

Now, it looks like he is serious on developing the emulators further after just acquiring an Xbox 360 XDK and also in the process of getting his own PS3 Test console. To commemorate with that, he announced several new emulator projects for the PS3.

Future of the PS3 emulator ports

Now that I’m able to target both Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 (and also given that the two consoles are quite similar to each other), I’m planning to make the emulator ports cross-platform in a similar vein to FBANext. FBANext runs on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 with only minimal differences. If I take a look at my own PS3 emulator ports – there exists the possibility to do something similar for projects like VBA, SNES9x, FCEU and Genesis Plus GX PS3. VBA PS3 is very heavily based on Lantus’ VBA 360 – and since Lantus does not actively maintain VBA 360 anymore and there is still some work remaining to be done on the 360 front (such as Sonic Advance 1/2 support and D-pad controls) – I’m planning to make a separate project on Google Code so that both platforms will have an up-to-date version of the emulator -

VBANext

https://code.google.com/p/vbanext/

VBANext will target both PS3 and Xbox 360, and will be based on the VBA PS3 codebase. It will most likely supercede VBA PS3 as it stands.

MAME 360/PS3

https://code.google.com/p/mame-360-ps3/

This is Lantus’ MAME 0.72 port to Xbox 360. I have co-ownership of the project – and I will be porting it to PS3 shortly.

I could target even more machines than just these two – I have DevkitPro set up for Wii and I’m also able to compile for Xbox 1 – but perhaps it’s best to focus on 360/PS3 for now instead of spreading myself too thin. I’m still intent on helping out madmab with his Xbox 1 port of SNES9x 1.52 though -

SNES9x Slim

https://github.com/squarepusher/snes9x-slim

SNES9x Slim aims to be a slimmed-down version of SNES9x for use on platforms that currently struggle to run the latest versions. The codebase still lags behind the PS3 version considerably – but once done, it will target PS3, Wii, Xbox 1, Android, Xbox 360 and other systems. Most of the improvements/removals are totally platform-agnostic.

FBANext PS3 r424 is now released thanks to Squarepusher2. This released is a vastly improved version of the FBANext emulator port for the PS3. Squarepusher2 now has commit access to the emulator, thanks to Lantus, so he will now drop the custom label and give us all straight version releases. This release includes all of his changes from the previous custom versions including a lot of additional improvements. The changelog is probably not easy to understand by average users, but he does not want to remake a whole new one because it is a long one.

Developer squarepusher2 has released custom version 3 of the FBANext emulator for the PS3, which is based off revision 423. For custom v3, there is a big reduction in lag, a new shader called highcontrast-HD, and bug fixes.

Changelog for custom v3:

• Big reduction in lag – also a far more stable FPS as a result of this (due to elimination of virtual function call overhead when a class would inherit from a base class with virtual functions). You will notice the biggest improvements with fighting games for CPS2/CPS3 – but overall all games should benefit from this.
• A new shader – tv-highcontrast-HD. This basically mimics the look of a high-end CRT monitor. Set ‘Hardware Filter’ to Linear and select a resolution lower than or equal to 1440×1080 to get the best results (if you have triple buffering on – else it’s 960×1080 or lower for best results)
• Fixed: A hang/freeze would occur after selecting a shader and then changing the resolution.
• Fixed: You can now go back and forwards in the list when selecting a shader – press Left to go back one entry in the shader list, and press Right to go forward.

Developer squarepusher has decided to incorporate the HD shaders, found in the latest SNES9X build, into FBANext build r423. So yes, this is a modification to build r423 that brings HD game play to your favorite arcade games. Street Fighter III (HD), here I come!

Changelog for custom r423:
* New input code
* HD shaders – as with SNES9x PS3, 4xSoft-HD looks the best

squarepusher:

Included is a diff patch intended for Lantus – so these changes can be carried over into mainline FBA.
