2021-05-16 22:49:43 +0000 UTC View PostFinal Burn Neo (FBN/FBNeo) is the follow-up of Final Burn Alpha (FBA/FBAlpha), an alternative to MAME for arcade emulation. It’s more focused on playability than on accuracy/preservation. The team is composed of dink, iq_132, JacKc, kev and me. It supports most libretro features (netplay, runahead, retroachievements, …).
Regularly, I see misunderstandings about our playability focus. It doesn’t actually mean we don’t care about accur...

Remember our previous article back in August? We could no longer update RetroArch to the newest version on the Google Play Store because their policies had changed with regards to the use of externally hosted dynamic library files.
Right after this, we suffered from the crippling buildbot server hack which really set us back. Hence we haven’t been ...

2020-11-17 19:07:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi there,
we are finally nearing the final transition stages of our infrastructure to the new system.
We need to take our current buildbot servers offline for the next two days (starting tomorrow – 11/18/2020) in order to continue.
We ask and hope for your understanding and we will let you know as soon as the servers are up and running again.

In the past we’ve simply brushed it off as FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) that attempts to muddy the waters, an...
