Bootcade — A native FinalBurn Neo launcher & ROM manager for Linux
Hi everyone,
I'd like to introduce Bootcade, a project I've been working on around FinalBurn Neo.
Bootcade is a native Linux launcher and ROM manager designed to make large FBNeo collections easier to browse, maintain and actually use.
The project started from a simple need: I wanted a clean way to browse the entire FinalBurn Neo library, see exactly what was missing or broken in my ROM collection, repair incomplete sets, and launch games without having to use several different tools.
It has grown quite a bit since then. 
Game library & launcher
Bootcade provides a fast and searchable interface for the FBNeo catalogue, including:
- List and cover views
- Instant search
- Filters by system, manufacturer, year, orientation, aspect ratio and game type
- Original / Clone / Hack / Homebrew / Bootleg / Prototype filtering
- Favorites and play history
- Automatic artwork
- Controller profiles
- Direct launching through FinalBurn Neo
ROM auditing & rebuilding
Bootcade also includes its own ROM management tools.
ROMs are checked against the official FBNeo DAT definitions using their actual CRC32, rather than simply trusting filenames or archive metadata.
It can:
- Detect missing, incorrect or corrupted ROMs
- Find wrongly named ROMs
- Audit complete collections
- Rebuild incomplete sets using ROMs already available elsewhere in your library
- Import archives recursively
- Detect duplicate ROMs
- Generate missing-ROM and audit reports
- Work with ZIP, 7z, RAR and TAR archives
Your existing library can remain read-only: rebuilt sets are written separately to an outbox.
Online FBNeo Catalog
Bootcade also includes a public online FBNeo catalog:
https://bootcade.netlify.app/catalog/
The catalog is automatically updated every day from the latest FinalBurn Neo DAT files, so it stays closely synchronized with FBNeo development.
You can browse and search the complete catalog directly from your browser, filter games by system or release type, inspect DAT information, and easily identify games with Highscore support.
The latest DAT files are also available directly from the catalog.
Linux & SteamOS
Bootcade is built specifically for Linux and is currently available as:
- AppImage
- Debian / Ubuntu .deb package
- Flatpak for SteamOS and other distributions
- Portable tarball
The project also provides an up-to-date FBNeo Linux build, making it easy to get a recent version of the emulator working together with Bootcade.
Still actively developed
Bootcade is still under active development, and there are many more things I'd like to add.
One idea I'm currently exploring is an achievement system, with challenges and goals that could be unlocked while playing supported games.
I also want the project to evolve around what people actually use and need, so I'm very open to feature requests, ideas and suggestions from the community.
If there is something you would like to see in Bootcade, please feel free to suggest it. I can't promise that every idea will be implemented, but I'm always interested in hearing what other FBNeo users would find useful.
There is still a lot I want to build, so Bootcade will continue to evolve.
