So, while browsing YouTube videos this morning, I came across a really crappy KOF03 TAS. The TAS was awful, but what I found in the description wasn't so awful. It was information regarding a version of FBA that Nico users have had since 2013. It's basically FBA-rr but with a TON of extra features, much better NEO-GEO and CPS 1/2 support and is quite a bit more stable. Also it's not shit. You can DL the latest version (07/29/2016) here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/d81zd8pk761j7cj/FBA.zip This is my own reupload and includes both the x86 and x64 versions. Enable English/Whatever your computers language is by going to the fourth tab and selecting the fourth option (U).

I've started trying to figure out the file format at http://tasvideos.org/EmulatorResources/Fbash/FRS.html; if anyone has any idea about the unknown portions, post here or edit the page.

Here's a test movie I recorded while constantly changing options, dip switches, BIOs etc. Seems it keeps itself stable the entire time, and scales to 16:9 properly as well. Link to video It should be noted that this is both a NEO-GEO game and a bootleg, both of which are notoriously difficult to run on FBA-rr.

2686 sets, 2229 clones, 4195 total in fba-rr VS 3733 sets, 2442 clones and 6175 total in fbash. FBA shuffle supports 1980 extra games than fba-rr. Many games also have improved emulation, and rerecording is much easier as well.

Is there a homepage or a site that offers up-to-date builds?

Original thread: http://f.ppxclub.com/1287-1-1 "Repository": http://pan.baidu.com/share/home?uk=3694382507#category/type=0 As well as their "homepage" (now broken): https://code.google.com/p/fbashuffle/ Took some time to find this. You can find the "documentation" in the /docs directory for each release.

So I was wondering, since when FBA Shuffle has rerecording?

It's a great idea to find an alternative to FBA-rr, since it crashes and desyncs horribly and haven't been updated for a long time. FBAS has good stability, and I like its autofire settings. However, when I tried to TAS Metal Slug 3 for example, the movie files both desyncs from the very beginning for my two attempts. How I hope someone can update FBA-rr and make it more stable.
Recent projects: SMB warpless TAS (2018), SMB warpless walkathon (2019), SMB something never done before (2019), Extra Mario Bros. (best ending) (2020).

Try to start the game using the Quick load game option(Shift+F6),this will usually set the desyncs.

Yes If not a problem, I think this emulator could be a potential emulator for the site.
