If you wish to change your rom path, edit fbanext-ps3.xml located at /dev_hdd0/game/FBAN00000/USRDIR/ and modify the paths-rom element with the directory you wish. Please include a trailing slash at the end of your path otherwise no roms will be located.

.Zip/.7z/.rar file extensions are supported.

I have created a pre-configured XML file that will allow you to place roms in any of the following directories (internal and external):

/dev_hdd0/game/FBAN00000/USRDIR/roms/ (roms folder in FBAnext install directory)
/dev_usb/FBA/ (external drive)
/dev_usb/FBA/roms/
/dev_usb/roms/fba/
/dev_usb//FBANext-ROMS/

NextGenUpdate

squarepusher 2 released a update today - 02-24-2011

FBANext PS3 - r423 - Custom build v3 FW 1.92+/FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55/Geohot 3.55:
You must login or register to view this content.

You must login or register to view this content.

    WHAT'S CHANGED SINCE V2:

* Big reduction in lag - also a far more stable FPS as a result of this  (due to elimination of virtual function call overhead  when a class  would inherit from a base class with virtual functions). You will notice  the biggest improvements with fighting games for CPS2/CPS3 - but  overall all games should benefit from this.

* A new shader - tv-highcontrast-HD. This basically mimics the look of a  high-end CRT monitor. Set 'Hardware Filter' to Linear and select a  resolution lower than or equal to 1440x1080 to get the best results (if  you have triple buffering on - else it's 960x1080 or lower for best  results)

* Fixed: A hang/freeze would occur after selecting a shader and then changing the resolution.

* Fixed: You can now go back and forwards in the list when selecting a  shader - press Left to go back one entry in the shader list, and press  Right to go forward.

    Notes from Squarepusher2:

As ever, I've included the diff file along with the pkg in the zip file.  This includes all the patches I've done since the commit of r423 on  Google Code.There will be a new release of SNES9x shortly with similar  lag reduction (by doing the same thing - getting rid of virtual function  call overhead).



This has proven to be a big win so far - the only thing so far that has  actually shown a substantial improvement/difference while trying out  several PPC in-order optimization 'tricks'.

update from squarepusher2

FBANext PS3 - r424 (FW 1.92+/FW 3.15/FW 3.41/CFW 3.55)

CHANGELOG (r424)

- (PS3) Added waterpaint-normalcontrast.cg, waterpaint-normalcontrast-scanline.cg, waterpaint-highcontrast.cg,

waterpaint-highcontrast-scanline.cg shaders

- (PS3) Optimized crt.cg shader - now runs at 60fps (fullspeed) at 1080p (1920x1080). Also added crt-highgamma.cg.

- (PS3) Texture references used - far faster graphics code as a result. Also adapted refreshwithalpha so that it

looks the same as it did before without texture references.

- (PS3) Added all the shaders added inbetween r423 and the custom versions

- (PS3) Replaced inlineASM in burnint.h with intrinsic so that it can be compiled with SNC. Also commented out

little endian functions in blargg_endian.h to get SNC to work

- (PS3) Commented out all exceptions and try - catch blocks in files such as ticpp.cpp and others - SNC by default

works with exception support disabled - also exceptions have performance overhead - commenting out the exceptions

and the try-catch blocks for both GCC and SNC increased performance.

- (PS3) Got rid of virtual function call overhead in classes that inherited from a base class with virtual function

definitions - such as the Cellframework Audio driver, and FBA's aud_audio.h itself. Led to measurable performance

increases and lag reduction.

- (PS3) Better button responsiveness - in PS3/run.cpp, for some reason button input was only being registered one

out of every three frames - commented that out. There were tons of other branches in the interface code that are

unnecessary - checking for bDrivOkay for instance in video_interface and vid_psgl - that were commented out for

PS3. This could similary be applied to FBA 360 for some performance gains - same with the elimination of virtual

function call overhead.

- (PS3) Menu scrolling with the D-pad/analog stick in the ROM browser/settings menu/ingame menu by pressing and

holding directional keys.

- (PS3) Shaders now receive three additional input params for the main vertex program (main_vertex). This

allows us to offload some more calculations from the fragment shader which leads to increased performance.

- (PS3) Added back ability to go to Service menu by pressing R3 button.

- (Core) - Rygar driver colors are restored again to normal colors - during the update to FBA beta, a swapword

statement was left out.

- (PS3) Makefile works now for either SNC or GCC. Change CELL_BUILD_TOOLS to set either of the two. The best

speed I currently get with GCC for some odd reason.

- (PS3) Makefile and preprocessor statements in the code now let you compile the source and have it detect

your SDK version automatically.

- (PS3) There is a special debug mode you can activate (CELL_DEBUG_CONSOLE = 1) where a Telnet server will

be running in the background which you can telnet into - in this mode, you can track variables and/or dump

screenshots on the HDD.

- (PS3) Better speed, far less lag as a result of all of the above.

PS. Every change above only affects the PS3 version.
