NFBA emulator and related stuff

Where can we post bug reports or feature requests that will be viewed by the programmer(s)?

If this is a good place…

* A lot of the keyboard shortcuts are broken in the p2p module.
* A list of existing command line options, if any.
* If doesn't already exist, command line options to start nfba and host a p2p game.
* Selecting "Arcade" in the "Fullscreen Resolution" video option causes an error on my pc that is capable of outputting the original arcade resolutions. Even 400x300 fails. I am able to use these resolutions successfully in mame.

A note for those who play fullscreen, if you have any blitter effects enabled, you will not be able to view chat.

I don’t know about NFBA, but here are FBA developers’ forums http://www.ojko.com/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=4

They haven’t replied to me yet though (c’mon guys, how to change font? It seems like it should be a feature!), so I can’t promise you better luck :frowning:

EDIT: To whomever neg’d me, I already searched and tried changing the option inside my Display settings several days ago, which hasn’t worked. I’ve also on Basic blitter. Unless I’m completely foolish and missing some obvious topic, I really can’t find anything, so could you at least ignore me if you don’t want to advise me? Much thanks.

I wanna play in full screen but I don’t know how to set it properly for max performance. Can you post um up?

In the nfba video options, set full screen resolution to as low as your computer will allow (probably 640x480), disable all blitters and effects.

Nope. I run Fullscreen 640x480, Enhanced(Direct 3D7 blitter), bi-linear filtering and scanlines enabled. I can view chat no problem. Must be you

It must be a combination of other settings then. Try adding a filter or effect (forget which one it’s called), such as 2x sai. I’m at work right now, can’t test.

Are there any cheats for 3s on nfba?

lately my games of 3S have been crashing in NFBA very quickly. like after 3 or 4 matches it crashes. anyone else get this problem?

nFBA runs ST too fast. Some stages are about 3x as fast as 'gief’s stage in ccc2.

I haven’t noticed this. 3x as fast is very fast, something I would’ve definitely noticed.

hey, ever since i got a new widescreen monitor, i cant get the video settings right, its always stretched horizontally.

can anyone give me some help here?

use monitor properties under video, select the option that you like.


Does anybody know if nfba supports mame format cheat files? on fba shuffle changelog there is mention of support, but i can’t seem to get it to work in nfba (file isn’t detected and cheat option under misc is greyed out).

from the changelog:


  • 25.12.2007 -

  • added kawaks/nebula/mame cheat file support. [iq_132]
    (put mame cheat.dat or kawaks/nebula cheat files in cheat folder)
  • added a menu item to enable find kawaks/nebula/mame cheat files.
    (If standard FBA .ini cheats aren’t found, it looks for nebula/mame cheat data file.)

any tips would be appreciated, thx.

I have the same problem with certain people I play.

After 1 or 2 matches, it crashes.

same here…got that with a couple of ppl…it was sooo annoying

Just outta curiosity, has anyone gotten network play to work using VMware? I can play everything alright locally, chat works, I can even connect and all that jazz. However, once the game is loaded, I seem to always drop.

Cant view Host connection window in P2P

Ive had this problem since last week and I dont know whats causing it. Anytime I try to connect or host a game the P2P window disappears. Its in my tool bar but I cant maximize it. Ive deleted fba and dl a new one, same problem.

Then I get this exception message:

I have no idea what this means but it must be something to do with my problem.

Anyone know of a solution? I can p2p in Kawaks no problem.

is that showing up when you try and start a game with someone? that mess of text is probably due to having different version of nfba and/or kailleraclient.dll than the opponent. if you host, make sure you checkmark “don’t allow incompatible clients” so it boots the person joining if there isn’t a match.

as for the window not maximizing, iirc, you just right click the program on the task bar and select “maximize.” theres a thread about the bug somewhere here. do a search

found it and fixed it. it was the bug.

Found the solution here - http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=149703

Can someone list the controls available to you to control the playback of a krec file? Like speeding it up, slowing it down, pausing, and anything else? Sometimes I am watching these files and have to go for a bit and I hate having to watch 15 minutes of fights just to get back to where I was.

anyone know why, when enabling scanlines in fba, it shrinks the screen to a smaller size than it should, when in full screen? im playing on a 768p hdtv. ive tried every resolution, every monitor setting in fba, pretty much every option. when scanlines are off, i have the correct aspect ratio, the screen fills from top to bottom, and the obvious side black bars. When i turn scanlines off, it shrinks the image by about 20%. Now i got black vertical borders on top and bottom as well. It is still the correct aspect ration, but I want a bigger image. And I think it looks much better with scnalines on.

anyone know of a way to fix this, or is this just a neccessary evil of the scanline function in order for it to function properly?
