# PFBA Vita_mod: Modded version of Portable Final Burn Alpha for the Vita
Quick release with additions/changes to Cpasjuste’s awesome PFBA emulator for Vita.
NOTE: This version appears as a new bubble even when updating. I am not quite sure why. But it is safe to delete the old bubble.
Big thanks to Cpasjuste for a great codebase. This release page might be ahead or behind Cpasjuste’s repository depending when pull requests are merged etc.
# Changelog of this modded version

1.07
- pulled in latest changes by Cpasjuste as follows:
– PFBA: add option to configure menu(s) button(s)
– PFBA: add analog support (after burner 2, outrun…)
– PFBA: add NO_KEYBOARD flag to disable keyboard configuration
– FBA: fix wrong colors on konami games
– FBA: fix eeprom (nvram) loading/saving
– ARM: fix nec cpu (irem, raiden…)
– PFBA: fix readme.md suppression
– FBA: update to 0.2.97.40
– GUI: change menu code (use submenus, should improve smaller resolution systems)
– COMMON: add skin font size configuration
1.06
- added rotation options OFF+FLIP (flipped vertical for handheld portrait mode with pad at the bottom) and OFF+CAB.MODE (non-rotated controls for arcade cabs and vertical monitors)
- fixed FIT 4:3 option so it works even with rotation, and removed the now-unneeded FIT 3:4 option
1.05
- pulled in more changes by Cpasjuste, such as some speedup in SDL library and the re-instatement of smaller audio buffer to completely eliminate all audio lag.
1.04
- pulled all audio changes by Cpasjuste, sound seems to be perfect now on PS Vita.
1.03
- remove unneeded audio buffer hack
1.02
- reduce audio delay thanks to Cpasjuste, and I made a small change to it to hopefully eliminate the distortion/stutter
1.01
- support for multiplayer/multiple controllers on Vita TV. Controllers have to be paired before PFBA is started
1.00
- added “FIT 4:3″ and “FIT 3:4″ options to force the typical Arcade TV aspect ratio. Many Capcom games have strange resolutions but were designed to fill a 4:3 TV aspect ratio image. Strider and Final Fight are two examples. Without forcing 4:3 aspect these games will look stretched with too much widescreen.
