SNK has dropped by our site and sent us a message about a slightly modded version of FBAnext (FBAnext is a port of Final Burn Alpha (FBA) to the PS3 originally by lantus360 For the best emulation of FBA on the PS3 I personally suggest use the more advance "FB Alpha" core within RetroArch (or FB Alpha Retro Loader. As the official FBA developer's have contributed to the libretro port and is synced with the later MAME rom sets for better emulation, but many like the FBAnext builds as the emulator is not as picky about it's roms[break]s[/break] where as the latest FBA ports. So the choice is yours to enjoy your classic arcade favorites.. View the Google Translated Quote below from SNK.
Also be sure to checkout FB Alpha Retro Loader by CaptainCPS-X (Link) for the PS3. CaptainCPS-X is a well known PS3 developer and also a developer of the official FB Alpha Project.

Changes and use
- Fixed black screen before the first time: The first time you start the emulator gave black screen forcing the user to restart the console, if at least one ROM was not included in a directory the problem could not be resolved and therefore we have solved this problem . This generated an XML file (options) that serves to launch the ROM and the configuration menu. We solved this problem by making sure that the file of the setup menu is already there, ready to take you into the emulator menu where you can start your ROM.
- Changed the icons on display in XMB.
- Place different directory for placement of ROM.
How to load the ROM From internal HDD:
"/ Dev_hdd0 / roms" This directory can be exploited to the start of the ROM menu FBANext.
You have to create the folder "roms" in lower case, and upload the folder "/ dev_hdd0 /". You can do this from Filezilla or other FTP server by creating it directly.
"/ Dev_hdd0 / ROMS / fba" This directory can be exploited for the boot ROM of the column back to multiMAN, you must position the ROM folder "fba".
You have to create the folder "ROMS" in uppercase and the folder "fba" in tiny inside "ROMS" folder "fba" you can load your ROM .zip.
From external HDD or USB:
Create a folder "roms" in an external HDD or USB, you are going to charge your ROM .zip. This will launch the ROM menu FBANEXT.
We tried to create the directory to start the ROM from multiMAN through external devices but these were not seen we will try to better understand why and if we do another version.
WARNING !!
All ROM MAME and NEO GEO must be loaded in .zip format, it is to be noted that the best compatibility we found for the ROM MAME, in any case many ROM could prove not compatible or even some are not even views from ' emulator. This is not a problem but the emulator itself well by the manufacturer of the ROM, we found greater compatibility from manufacturers such as: Taito corporation, Tecnos Japan, Capcom, Sega, SNK, Namco, Konami and Tad, other manufacturers do not seem to be compatible emulator FBANext.
