​There is actually no FF10SB. FF10 is exactly the same as FF99SB. There
is FF12SB and FF14SB that are incremental improvements to FF99SB.

That said, FF94, FF96, FF99, FF99SB, FF12SB, and FF14SB all use the same
exact charge derivation scheme (the same exact charges, really). So any
charge derivation scheme compatible with one is compatible with all.

You need to derive charges differently for FF03 or FF14IPQ, since those use
a different charge derivation scheme.
