barryharris.me.uk hat eine komplette Neufassung der SEGA Treiber für FinalBurn Alpha
Freigeben ,den download gibt es auf der barryharris.me.uk Homepage

barryharris.me.uk has new SEGA drivers for FinalBurn alpha Released, the Download gives on the barryharris.me.uk homepage

A few months back I started porting the old Final Burn Sega drivers to the FBA framework (current publically released source tree). This pretty much constitutes a complete rewrite due to the changes in the handling of inputs, graphics, and the interface to the 68000 (sek) and Z80 (zet) cores.

For some reason a lot of people seem to want it. Unfortunately anyone that made an attempt to date has given in without making progress. I had ported the drivers to an older version of FBA a year or so ago but deleted the source when the MAME Sega Rewrite was complete. I never submitted it to the rest of the development team because the original driver was never really that accurate and we all agreed that it needed rewriting from scratch, indeed Jan was already looking at it.

Due to a complete lack of time and motivation to work on something I have already done previously I´m releasing the source so that somebody else can finish it off if they want.

The only game I´ve worked on is Power Drift but that utilises most of the code in the Sega drivers anyway. The following problems exist;

* Sprites are not working
* Sound isn´t working (the Z80 isn´t working properly)
* Inputs aren´t working (they need porting to FBA´s new analogue input handlers)
* The other game drivers then need modifiying to the new FBA framework (using Power Drift as a guide)

None of the above is particuarly difficult to resolve for anybody with the time and motivation. If anyone wants to finish this off, I´ll be happy to provide some quick guidance on the above issues if they require it. You can get hold of me via the usual emulation channels (nick is Treble Winner) or by posting on my forum on this site.

Download the source if you want it. Unzip the files to your src/burn folder and add the necessary rules to your makefile and then compile the program as usual.

Site is still WIP - not had any time for that either. I also plan on fulfilling one of my other promises and releasing my old Galaxian hardware driver, which is unfortunately also based on an old FBA framework (not as old as the Sega drivers though thankfully).
