Awesome tutorial! I've been following the whole series and now have Saturn, Dreamcast, Mame, FBA, and NeoGeo all set up! I used FBA emulator for all the neogeo/cps1/cps2 games and mame for the rest of the arcade. One thing I noticed: EmuMovies only downloads stuff for NeoGeo if you use the platform name "SNK NeoGeo". The defaults in Launchbox are "SNK Neo Geo MVS" and "SNK Neo Geo AES" and they cannot be found on emumoveis.

Thanks so much for all the awesome tutorials!! My home arcade is awesome now :)

It works using the FBA emulator through LB. Hitting F5 sets up controls. A bit wonky, but it works, sorta.

Great video as usual pal keep up the great work 👏️👏️👍️👍️

Great! This was the easiest way that I've found to import Arcade roms on Launchbox that really worked. But Final Burn Alpha standalone ask me to set my two joypads for almost each game! It so annoying! I couldn't find a way to have a generic controller map to play all FBA games. Does anyone knows how to do that?

Great tutorial. Something new to add to my setup this weekend!

[GiveBlood]

NICE , ive managed to trim down my emus with this tut

cheers

[NBWDOUGHBOY]

OMG!!! WHY DIDNT I KNW ABT THIS FRICKING EMULATOR. IT EMULATES ALL THAT? THIS THING IS AWESOME!!!

[yakuzaronin]

Great video. Convinced me to add FBA to my Launchbox with little research. Question is it true that controls are setup game by game? Does retropie/retroarch handle it better or are all those prebuilt images from someone going game by game...

I'm using the 64bit version of FBA on windows 7 64bit, I am able to play the games on FBA with no problem if I opened it directly from the emulator however if I add the rooms into launchbox following this tutorial whenever I want to open a game I get an error message saying that the game is not supported by FBA (the game works perfectly if you open it directly from FBA)

Hey I got fba to work in retroarch but i cant get it running in launchbox thru retroarch only outside of it im using retroarch inside of lb with other console systems without an issue im confusion. I have the fba core i need works alone but cant find a way to associate it when editing emulator in launchbox nothing in the list

[KevinHorsten]

I'm fairly new to this. But I have MAME set 0191 does it make any sense to have a Final Burn Alpha set as well? These are the same arcade games right? I don't understand what the difference is

[larryladeroute]

I have had that error message when I launch GBA. I recall getting rid of it but then it came back. Want to say it is related to the resolution or window size...

[hyd-megido]

do this not work anymore? I just downloaded the latest version and there's no FPA or final burn alpha on the dropdown list. it is a premium feature?

[martinhernandez]

How can you find only the sega genesis and turbografx 16 on the final burns alpha

[TommyFlex]

i did everything in the video and still cant get it to work plz help

[inglewoodpyro]

Is it possible to use the bezel project with FBA in Launchbox? I am using the retroarch version FB neo core

[redabouzid]

i like your desktop wallpaper plz could you give me the web to download it too

[SilentSoundGuy]

When it asks me what platform I would like to use, FBA isn't an option. When I go to manage emulators, FBA isn't an option.
