Arcade (FBNeo)

Arcade games run on the bundled FinalBurn Neo core.

	FinalBurn Neo
Folder	Roms/Arcade (FBN)/
BIOS	BIOS sets, such as neogeo.zip, next to the games or in Bios/FBN/
File types	zip 7z (MAME-style sets)

Adding games

• An arcade set's zip or 7z is the game and is never unpacked.
• Parent and BIOS sets are read from the same folder or from Bios/FBN/. BIOS sets are not listed as games.
• A missing BIOS set stops the launch with a message. A missing parent set does not: the game is tried without it.
• Games show their arcade titles, with bracketed text dropped as on the handheld.

Don't rename the zips

FBNeo finds a game by its short zip name (sf2.zip). The game list shows the readable title anyway. To pick your own name, use Rename Rom or a map.txt alias.

Controls

Control	What it does
SELECT	Insert a coin
START	Start
D-pad, left stick	The joystick
Face buttons and shoulders	The game's buttons

• Some games put extra buttons, such as Service, on L3 and R3 (pressing the sticks). Those are on controllers only: the on-screen pad has no stick buttons.
• MENU, or SELECT + START, opens the in-game menu. The game sees the SELECT press first, so it may count a coin.
• Up to four players can play, each on their own controller, as many as the game has. See Local Multiplayer.

Limits

• Arcade has no cheats.

NAOMI and Atomiswave games run on Flycast instead, from the Dreamcast folder. See Sega Dreamcast.
