XBOX-HQ.COM - Final Burn Legends 1.0 for Xbox 1 Released!

Nes6502 has released Final Burn Legends 1.0 emulator for Xbox 1! Final Burn Legends is a port of Final Burn Alpha 2.99.07 to the Xbox 1. It also includes parts of FBA-XXX Pro 1.29. The reason I developed this port was so that I could play Thunder Blade, Galaxy Force 2, Turbo Outrun, and After Burner 2 on the Xbox.

Features:

Support for over 2700 games. Some games are not playable anywhere else on the Xbox. It also has an excellent Sega Genesis emulator. Many Genesis games play perfectly.

Fullspeed emulation (even with software filters in HD) for CPS1, CPS2, NeoGeo, Cave, Konami, and many other games.

Hiscore support for most games.

SRAM support for Sega Genesis games.

Built in cheat database. Nearly all games have cheats (not just CPS1 and CPS2). This includes support for multi byte cheats. EEPROM cheats do not work.

Built in Help system with information about the emulator, FAQ, and the controls.

Per game ini files. Setting options in the GUI are global settings. Once a setting is changed in the emulation menu, then those settings are saved for that game only.

If it finds a video and a screenshot then it automatically uses the dual preview mode where the screenshot and video are displayed side by side.

The main menu supports six different backgrounds and a movie layer.

The game select screen supports independently moving/resizing the game panel, the selected game panel, the background, and all other items. This way the user can create a user interface to suit their preference.

All ROMs match the latest version of FBA 2.99.07. If the game doesn't work there, it won't work on this port. A dat file is included that can be used to verify or fix any game. The PC version dat file will not have all the games the included dat file has.

Three skins are included (one for 480, 720p, and 1080i). If you are going to use the emulator in HD, then pick one of these skins. It sets everything up for you.
