FB Alpha 0.2.97.40 Release 16 April 2017 at 17:42:00. A new FB Alpha is released to celebrate. Fixes and new features. Added Favorites feature: mark games as favorite from the Game Info window, or right-click in the list. Toggle favorites mode in the 'Filters' section dink. Configuring FB Alpha v0.2.97.42 to use this romset- Not configuring in this way could cause problems with duplicate rom filenames across systems. As an example, sf2ce.zip exists in both the 'roms' and 'pce' folders and FB Alpha will get confused about which version to load if you specify your own custom paths that don't fit the Path #'s as.

The file have a big structure with all the information for all supported drivers in FB Alpha v0.2.97.30.
Information such as:
Romset Name (Ex. kof2002)
Parent ROM (Ex. sf2)
Year
Manufacturer (Ex. Capcom)
System (Ex. Neo Geo)
Max players
Game Screen Resolution
Game Screen Aspect Ratio
Future release will have a custom generated file with all the ROM information as well, so the application will be able to verify every romset with precise CRC32 checks (as in the official FB Alpha for Windows). NOTE: You don't need the official RetroArch installed, this already has my own modified build incorporated into FB Alpha RL installation directory. So you can safely install the official RetroArch and it won't interfere.

Fixed a problem with CPS-3 External / Stereo sound on libretro, now it sounds great
[src] Source code has been greatly re-organized.
[src] 'miniz.cpp' ZIP library is used the 'proper' way, so now I can use its modules everywhere I need.
[src] 'burn_drivers.h' was renamed as 'burn_drivers.cpp' and is now compiled, allowing access to its data everywhere I need.
Added support for Neo-Geo UNI-BIOS (need to be present in neogeo.zip).
FBARL will look from latest (uni-bios_3_0.rom) to oldest BIOS (uni-bios_1_0.rom) in 'neogeo.zip', of course if you don't have any of those the game will be loaded with regular BIOS.
Added check for file existence on game selection, if the game listed is not found for some reason, like for example, if you disconnected the USB with the games, it will prompt you with a message to re-scan. The system will not lock / freeze anymore.
Added check for fb_alpha.SELF core existence on game selection, if for some reason you don't have it or can't access, the application will let you know and prompt you to re-install it.
Fixed libretro core default inputs for Neo-Geo and Capcom fighting games, now they are correctly assigned.
Fixed the Save Custom Inputs feature on RetroArch core, now it will not include the annoying 'example' text, it will use the currently loaded name, so you can save quickly and continue playing.
Added FTP support.
Using latest FB Alpha v0.2.97.30 source, adapted to compile as libretro (romset is synched with MAME v149).
Doesn't include all 'optimizations' from recent libretro Git, since some of them cause some problems with a few games.
