PFBA: Portable Final Burn Alpha

The main goals of this final burn alpha port are/were :

• have a basic but user friendly user interface on non windows devices
• use a recent rendering interface for speed and effects support
• cross-platform and code portability
• easy updates of fba core (no modifications to the original sources)
• use arm asm m68k (cyclone) core on arm devices

---

Currently supported devices

• Linux (sfml, sdl2)
• RPI 3 (sfml, sdl2, wip)
• Ps Vita (vita2d)

---

PS VITA

• data is located at "ux0:/data/pfba"
• default rom path is "ux0:/data/pfba/roms/"
• rom path can be changed in "ux0:/data/pfba/pfba.cfg"
• preview images can be put in "ux0:/data/pfba/previews/rom-name.png"
• in the ui: START = gui options + default rom configuration
• in the ui: SELECT = selected rom configuration
• in game: SELECT+START = menu
• in game: SELECT+L = saves states
• in game: SELECT+SQUARE = service switch
• in game: SELECT+TRIANGLE = 1P+2P switch
• in game: SELECT+LEFT/RIGHT = change shader
• in game: SELECT+UP/DOWN = change scaling
