Q) What is Final Burn Alpha?

A) Final Burn Alpha is a continuation of FinalDave's fantastic Final Burn emulator.
   Currently Final Burn Alpha only emulates CPS2 and to a ever slightly lesser degree CPS1.
   Final Burn also emulated After Burner, Galaxy Force and Sega System 16 hardware, and one
   day so will Final Burn Alpha. FinalDave is in no way connected with the Final Burn Alpha
   emulator so don't ask him about it as he probably has better things to do :)


Q) Where can I get the roms?

A) We will not answer questions like that. Also we will not tell you where to get files
   that you are missing, such as correct roms, XORs, or anything else.


Q) Hey, add <insert CPS-2 game name here> so I can play it!
   -or-
   Why is <insert CPS-2 game name here> unplayable?

A) The game is not listed and not playable since no XOR files has been released by
   CPS2Shock. The XOR file is needed to decrypt the game. If there's no XOR files, then
   it can't be emulated. When a XOR is released it takes some time before we can make a
   new release, so just wait!


Q) How can I make Final Burn Alpha run faster?

A) Try to edit the finalburn.ini file and use some of these values:

   nAppUseVidMemory -1
   nAppUseVidMemory 0
   nAppUseVidMemory 1

   nVidWidth 640
   nVidHeight 480

   nVidWidth 320
   nVidHeight 240

   nVidWidth 320
   nVidHeight 200

   nVidWidth 400
   nVidHeight 300

   nVidDepth 16
   nVidDepth 24
   nVidDepth 32

   nDSoundSamRate 11025
   nDSoundSamRate 0
   nDSoundSamRate 22050
   nDSoundSamRate 44100

   nDSoundSegCount 3
   nDSoundSegCount 6
   nDSoundSegCount 10
   nDSoundSegCount 15

   If anything goes wrong just delete the finalburn.ini file, or change it back to the
   value(s) that worked before.


Q) What does DinpInit Failed mean?

A) It probably means that you have to install DirectX 5.0 or higher.


Q) When I play games online the controls are messed up. Why?

A) You either have really bad lag or you are playing with a person who got a different
   Final Burn Alpha version then the one you got. Always make sure you get the latest Final
   Burn Alpha build from the homepage. It works ok for other people.


Q) I need help with a version of Final Burn that is not Final Burn Alpha! Please help me!

A) No. We hardly have time to support Final Burn Alpha and we sure are not going to support
   someone elses code.


Q) I want to suggest you add one or all of the following:
   FPS display,
   Wav logging,
   Quick load/save,
   Re-add sega games,
   Brighter scanlines,
   Add other game systems,
   Re-add chat with netplay,
   Filtering/image enhancement.

A) We already know that people want these features. They might get added at some point, but
   no time frame has been set for adding them.


Q) I want to report one or more of these bugs:

   Sprite masking,
   Missing raster effects,
   CPS1 QSound not working,
   Some CPS1 games missing,
   CPS sprite priority problems,
   Volume may be wrong in some CPS games,
   Walk on top of the foregrund in CPS-1 games,
   Other GFX bugs.

A) Again, don't, as we are planning on adding/fixing these features. No time frame has
   been set for fixing these bugs, but they will get fixed :) 


Q) Where do I Report bugs and make suggestions that are not in the above lists?

A) Any Questions/Comments/Suggestions/Bug Reports should be directed to:
   http://www.xsorbit.com/users/LEvilElmo/index.cgi
   Check the different board descriptions to see what board you should post on.


Q) I have added a cool new feature to Final Burn, what do I post it to get it put in Final
   Burn Alpha?
   -or-
   I have started to add a new feature to Final Burn but I need help, what do I do?

A) Either post a message on the Final Burn Developers Board:
   http://www.xsorbit.com/users/LEvilElmo/index.cgi?board=fbdevelop
   or email your code to deadbloke@yahoo.com with a breif description of what it does or
   what it should do and we will look at it and maybe include it in Final Burn Alpha. Don't
   be upset if we don't include it as we may have your own ideas on how to do something.
