FBA-XXX Pro XBE Patch
---------------------

This is intended to be applied to the unpatched 06.02.2005 release of FBA-XXX. So basically you just download fbaxxx_06_02_2005.zip, replace the included default.ips file with this one, and run patchme!!.bat.

Why Pro? Well, since this build uses (and hopefully will continue to be updated with) the newest released romsets, it is perhaps unsuitable for more casual gamers who just want to play the games in any form and don't really care whether their roms are up-to-date or not. I just wanted to call it something that reflected this fact. biggrin.gif

In case anyone needs a reminder of how this differs from the standard version, here's the current list of changes:

- Restored original VMM code to fix sound break-up in large games.

- Now runs correctly from disc as well as HDD (dats, ini, etc. are now created in TDATA rather than the root directory).

- Updated Neo-Geo drivers to use the latest rom dumps.

- Updated all CPS2 drivers to use the latest MAME sets and added XOR decryption tables for 19xxa and avspa.

- Added drivers for all new CPS2 clone sets from MAME.

- Added working driver for SNK Vs. Capcom Super Plus! (svcsplus.zip).

- Added drivers for Samurai Shodown V AES Version (samsho5h.zip, samsh5hd.zip)

- Added the following new NG clones; jockeygpd, vlinero, svcnd, kof2k3nd

- Now supports both xxxxd.zip (encrypted P ROMs, decrypted C/V ROMs) sets as well as xxxxnd.zip (fully decrypted) Neo-Geo sets.

- All decrypted Neo-Geo drivers now use an S ROM (speeds up loading a bit).

- Added fix to get sound from new MAME kof2001 decrypted M ROM (code by FerchogtX)
 
- Made some changes to the rom loading text. (just says "Loading Game" rather than "don't play unless you own the game etc, etc.").

- Fixed a problem with the CPS code in the latest FBA-XXX that was causing some CPS1 games (e.g. Saturday Night Slam Masters) not to work.

- Fixed another problem in the new CPS code where playing certain CPS2 games more than once resulted in a black screen. >_<

- Patched out HW test in Ghouls 'n' Ghosts so it now starts instantly instead of taking forever (code from IQ's forum)

- Removed unnecessary VMM code from Cave drivers (possible performance boost?)

- Added Fever SOS driver from latest FBA

Have Fun.
