Hi all..
Speaking of emulators, i would like to ask a question. I've searched the whole internet for a month now, trying to find if i can put snapshots in roms in FBA Next emulator, make it work somehow like the MAME emulator. I have about 7GB of roms and i don't know which one is which. I noticed that in the directory of FBA Next there are a couple folders , like..icons, preview..etc Any help would be appreciated.

What systems are you trying to emulate? Also, why 7GB and why don't you know which ones are which? How are they named? You might be able to, but I'm not sure about the PS3 version is the only thing. My experience with PS3 emulators ended way back shortly after the GeoHot jailbreak, someone updated my PS3. I know in FBA on PC, you can and if you know which games you have and/or go through them and find the ones you want, you could put previews and covers for them.

Yes, i was talking about FBA Next on PS3. I suppose the directories are the same as the PC version. I just have 7GB of roms, doesn't mean i play all of them . For example, the punisher..we all know that game, i can find it in the rom list, but i would like to have the option to see a cover from the game before i choose to load it. If it is possible on pc version, could you tell me in which folder should i put the snapshots?Thanks in advance..

Previews folder, at least that was the folder last time I used FBA. And yeah, the punisher was pretty awesome.

I'm not a dev at all, but I do have a curious question if that's ok. I keep reading about PS3 being PPC and it's difficult having to convert/use x86 based emulators on it. My question is, instead of converting x86 to PPC, isn't there a way to have a x86 emulator to run all the x86 based emulators on a PPC machine? I think devs have already thought about it before but I never saw any mention of it and I'm curious to know

Actually someone started working on a 360 emulator, he worked on it for a few months, but has posted about it half a year. It's called Xenia and was started by a Google employee, who started the first PSP emulator, pspplayer.

And there was a forum member on ngemu.com that claimed to be working on a 360 emu, but never uploaded anything and has mostlikely given up.

Also here's a decent discussion on the state of 3DS hacking and emulation, according to it, it's going to be a while:

You mean make a PowerPC application that runs x86 applications? A dynamic recompilation is how most people convert things. Which makes it much easier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_recompilation

A random forum member on NGemu doesn't sound promising. Xenia is not really so much an emulator as a piece of it, basically the interpreter and disassembler. 3DS emulation will not be hard. Anybody who takes five seconds and looks at a 3DS ROM dump in IDA Pro knows they use the same encryption on most of the cartridge. The only difference is the header encryption and compression. No known exploits for the 3DS yet, but those will be easily found since this is a handheld. They always get jailbroken faster, because companies sacrifice the protection when making a handheld. Smaller size. If you glitch the 3DS you can get a weird boot screen. There was also a few attempts to dump the RAM, so it's already in the works.

So why is this mentioned on a ps3 news website? Regardless i am going to try out the ps2 emulator, i have pc that can pretty much run everything now, i can't wait to try it, does it have cheat code support?

It's mentioned because this isn't just a PS3 news site. And yes, it has "cheat code support". If by that, you mean AR/GameShark codes or manual hex codes/RAM editing.

I can't honestly say the MESS/MAME merger was to my licking... but I understand, still sort of wished they would have kept separate binaries until the merger was better.... or until MESS wasn't... well a MESS. I've been a fan of MAME since the .30 releases, but never been much of a MESS guy. Stand along console emus have always been so much better IMO.

Thanks for the news, I'll always welcome emulation and fan translation news
