Usage
The first time you run FBANext, a configuration file called fbanext-ps3.xml will be generated. This file will store your current options.

If you wish to change your rom path, edit fbanext-ps3.xml located at /dev_hdd0/game/FBAN00000/USRDIR/ and modify the paths-rom element with the directory you wish. Please include a trailing slash at the end of your path otherwise no roms will be located.

.Zip/.7z/.rar file extensions are supported.

I have created a pre-configured XML file that will allow you to place roms in any of the following directories:

• /dev_hdd0/game/FBAN00000/USRDIR/roms/ (roms folder in FBAnext install directory)
• /dev_usb/FBA/ (external drive)
• /dev_usb/FBA/roms/
• /dev_usb/roms/fba/
• /dev_usb/FBANext-ROMS/

Download here: Download fbanext-ps3.xml
Just transfer to /dev_hdd0/game/FBAN00000/USRDIR/ using blackbox or Comgenie's Awesome File Manager.

FBANext PS3 - r424 (FW 1.92+/FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55)


Link 1 (Multiupload): fbanext-ps3-r424.zip (20.19 MB)



Link 2 (Uploadbud): fbanext-ps3-r424.zip

CHANGELOG (r424)

- (PS3) Added waterpaint-normalcontrast.cg, waterpaint-normalcontrast-scanline.cg, waterpaint-highcontrast.cg,

waterpaint-highcontrast-scanline.cg shaders

- (PS3) Optimized crt.cg shader - now runs at 60fps (fullspeed) at 1080p (1920x1080). Also added crt-highgamma.cg.

- (PS3) Texture references used - far faster graphics code as a result. Also adapted refreshwithalpha so that it

looks the same as it did before without texture references.

- (PS3) Added all the shaders added inbetween r423 and the custom versions

- (PS3) Replaced inlineASM in burnint.h with intrinsic so that it can be compiled with SNC. Also commented out

little endian functions in blargg_endian.h to get SNC to work

- (PS3) Commented out all exceptions and try - catch blocks in files such as ticpp.cpp and others - SNC by default

works with exception support disabled - also exceptions have performance overhead - commenting out the exceptions

and the try-catch blocks for both GCC and SNC increased performance.

- (PS3) Got rid of virtual function call overhead in classes that inherited from a base class with virtual function

definitions - such as the Cellframework Audio driver, and FBA's aud_audio.h itself. Led to measurable performance

increases and lag reduction.

- (PS3) Better button responsiveness - in PS3/run.cpp, for some reason button input was only being registered one

out of every three frames - commented that out. There were tons of other branches in the interface code that are

unnecessary - checking for bDrivOkay for instance in video_interface and vid_psgl - that were commented out for

PS3. This could similary be applied to FBA 360 for some performance gains - same with the elimination of virtual

function call overhead.

- (PS3) Menu scrolling with the D-pad/analog stick in the ROM browser/settings menu/ingame menu by pressing and

holding directional keys.

- (PS3) Shaders now receive three additional input params for the main vertex program (main_vertex). This

allows us to offload some more calculations from the fragment shader which leads to increased performance.

- (PS3) Added back ability to go to Service menu by pressing R3 button.

- (Core) - Rygar driver colors are restored again to normal colors - during the update to FBA beta, a swapword

statement was left out.

- (PS3) Makefile works now for either SNC or GCC. Change CELL_BUILD_TOOLS to set either of the two. The best

speed I currently get with GCC for some odd reason.

- (PS3) Makefile and preprocessor statements in the code now let you compile the source and have it detect

your SDK version automatically.

- (PS3) There is a special debug mode you can activate (CELL_DEBUG_CONSOLE = 1) where a Telnet server will

be running in the background which you can telnet into - in this mode, you can track variables and/or dump

screenshots on the HDD.

- (PS3) Better speed, far less lag as a result of all of the above.

PS. Every change above only affects the PS3 version.

FBANext PS3 - r435 (FW 1.92/FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55)

Link 1 (18.05 MB): Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!

Link 2 (18.05 MB): UploadBud.com - Download - fbanext-ps3-r435.zip


CHANGELOG:
- (PS3) Some minor performance improvements and some more lag reduction (CPS3/Sega System 16) - other drivers can show similar improvements as well
- (PS3) Street Fighter III: Second Impact widescreen toggling has been fixed
- (PS3) D-pad navigation moves one position down/up like before
- (PS3) Dip switches now configurable in in-game menu

Anyone know if Konami games like Contra, etc. are running better with the sound fixed?

Nevermind I see performance is improving, still some slowdown/sound issues with Konami games but the regular Capcom games (non CP1, 2 etc.) are running well. Still some minor sound issues on a few.

Great job this is turning out really well. Still can't wait for crosshair support for gun games like Operation Wolf, T2 etc.

Thanks bro

hey sorry for bumpin an olde thread does any1 know where i can download any fbanext roms?
