Portable Final Burn Alpha released – GekiHEN contest
Developer ‘cpasjuste’, who ported UAE4ALL to the Vita, has ported an emulator to the PSVita once again. It seems that some developers never stop adding to Vita’s library of software! This time around, the homebrew in question is Portable Final Burn Alpha, an arcade systems emulator.
What’s Portable Final BurnAlpha?
Final Burn Alpha is a multiple arcade system emulator that’s available on various platforms. It can emulate NeoGeo, Capcom and Konami arcade machines amongst others. This emulator also has a RetroArch core but it’s always nice to have alternatives. Portable Final Burn Alpha brings about an easy to use interface for selecting zipped ROMs to play. This version has an ARM Assembly core for emulating 68k machines (i.e the CPU found in arcade cabinets it emulates) for better performance. A very easy to use menu can be accessed by pressing SELECT and you can set options pretty easily.
Street Fighter Alpha 2 in FBA
Nice! Where can I get this homebrew from?
PFBA can be obtained from the GekiHEN’s contest web page in VPK format. The VPK requires access to all permissions (unsafe hombrew) so be very careful where you get it from! Simply place ROMs in ux0:/data/pfba/roms in ZIP format to start gaming! Keep in mind that you get a huge ROM list but you can only play games you have the files for (duh!). You can view the instructions on how to use everything on the GekiHEN entry page for this homebrew. Happy arcade gaming without spending an avalanche of quarters 😉

first! good emulator
I like how the developer’s name is “it’s not fair” 🙂
Can i play with this Street Fighter 3?
Not really. I think it clocks at 10FPS.
Works at decent speed only the sound is the problem
So this is no different from the fba core in retroarch? i can’t seem to get sam sho2 to work any help is appreciated
You just need a compatible rom set for that game intended for the FBA emulator or audit yourself using clrmamepro and find out what missing files or files needed to be renamed.
Good work,nice emulator
Couldn’t get usb to work,Got a blue screen if i unplugged the psvita and plugged it back in while in usb mode. turns out windows never associated a drive letter(Disk management)
Neat!
got sf3 to work. its at around 11fps though
It runs fine if you hex edit the eboot.bin and mark it as safe 🙂
Thanks for the tip, but wich value?
heck yeah! Baby! Im gonna have blisters in my thumbs tonight playing this baby.
il wait for ps2 emu
you’ll be waiting for a long time, even if poss, it will run very slow…
PS2 emul on Vita? Funny B-) but he never comes…… VITA is slowly for ps2 emulation.
LOL. Even the current PS2 emulation in PC’s will require you a pretty decent gaming rig for a decent emulation speed on some of the games. What makes you think the Vita will do any better? 🙂
Bcoz i beleive lol
Lol yeah. On the flip side, GameCube runs mostly fine on even the worst PCs now.
Be prepared to wait till you die then.
