It would seem so, however I'm not that familiar with Final Burn or Final Burn Alpha.

[Hard Core Rikki]

Plays NeoGeo, CPS2 and CPS3 notably. Much better than Kawaks, with a lot more features and significantly smaller hit on system ressources, so relatively very fast in compareason. Netplay available too.

[Xtreme2damax]

I see, thanks for the explanation. Unfortunately I don't have any of those games for those systems nor do I own any of those systems or arcade boards.
