Just to let some of the more adventurous, compile happy, folks know, if you’re compiling PiFBA from Squid’s code.google repo for the Pi2 you can enable the CPS3 game drivers by manually including them in driverlist.h.

From what I can tell, only the NO-CD versions of the games work and the roms that this version of FBA wants are kind of hard to find (their details are in /burn/cps3/d_cps3.cpp where it lists what it’s expecting to find in each zip file). Though the games do run at full speed, I’ve tested sfiiin.zip sfiii2n.zip and sfiii3n.zip (The 3 Street Fighter III games in NO-CD format) and they all play perfectly with the only issue being they have no audio.

I’ve added in a few bits of debug output and the audio emulation for the CPS3 hardware looks like it’s functioning fine, to me it looks like the alsa wrapper applied to the Pi version just doesn’t hook up to the CPS3 driver in cps3snd.cpp. It looks like this hookup is done for the other drivers by the code labelled as “OOPSWARE_FIX” in the rest of the sources. It should just be a case of applying something similar to the “OOPSWARE_FIX” code to the cps3snd.cpp to correctly forward the audio to the alsa wrapper on the pi.

I’ll be playing with this code over the next few days to see if I can get the audio hookup working. If I get it sorted I’ll throw a fixed version up on github or somewhere for people to grab, but as it is with busted CPS3 audio it’s not really worth throwing a tweaked version out there just yet but for people that just want to have a play with the code this info should give you a leg up on sorting it out. Especially if you’re much better with C++ than me!
