I've got both MamedOx Platinum 1.5 and FBA-XXX Pro 1.14 (inc. full ROM sets) on my XBox.

I like the way MamedOx keeps everything under one roof as I like the classics - Asteroids/PacMan - as much as the CPS fighters....but I want to be playing the CPS games using the best emulator.

I like to keep things neat and only have one set of roms on the hard drive - so is it best to just use MamedOx Platinum for everything or should I strip the CPS/Neo roms out of that set and just use them with FBA-XXX.

Opinions and advice please...

FBA-XXX for neogeo/cps1/cps2/cave hands down. NOTHING plays them better. Just point FBA-XXX to the mame roms folder and it will find everything. You don't have to strip anything out. I only have 1 arcade roms folder and I point all the arcade emulators to this folder. Or you could put them all in the FBA-XXX roms folder and point mame to it. Either way.

The reason I was saying strip them out is I don't want the CPS/Neo games to appear in both emulators...I want anyone using the Xbox to have to use FBA-XXX for CPS etc. if that's the best.

Xbox Version: v1.0

Then you have no choice but to separate cps/neogeo games from the rest. It doesn't really take that long to do it

if hes using platium he cant strip them out...... well without a little bit of work. If hes using mamedOX its no worries press start and go remove rom. it will then be in the roms/backup folder and removed from the list. Platium is for a garented mame experience. smile.gif FBA is better for CPS games not by that much, though its faster to load and slightly more optimised for a few games. Remember all advice here is probably done without seeing platium and they will be using Mamedox or 128HK builds.

Yes I am using Platinum, but I was thinking of moving to 128 if it was a good idea to split the roms. So in your opinion there's no or minimal difference (I don't mind loading times) between the gameplay of CPS/Neo games on MamedOX Platinum & FBA-XXX Pro 1.14?

only diff for me is there is some slow down in last level of SFA3 and and in the fire stage in XMVSF all else is pretty much the same. If you really want I can give plat with rom removal smile.gif I prefer plat as it all works properly and is setup properly. Other builds all keys need remapping and many other things. Best bet is you give the others a go and see the diff for yourself

Cheers

Actually for me it's a bit of a mixed bag. FBA-XXX is faster which means I can turn on the graphics filters and still keep 60/60. However, there are more accurate things going on in MAME (SFA3 speed comes to mind. It seems too fast in FBA-XXX). So it's a toss up in some cases, but overall I use FBA-XXX.

However, you are correct, I've never tried platinum. So maybe I'm missing out after all.

Well I'm no gaming guru, so if the differences are slight I'll probably stick to Platinum...great work by the way Britney. I'm happy with it how it is, but are there any other skins available... like the FBA-XXX Kiosk1 skin, anyone care to adapt it?

to me thats ugly as ive done a new skin thats alot prettier than orig platium one. Id have to add a new xbe if you want year etc info on that selection screen if you want that stuff you can go into options and select full or verbose mode. Im excepting requests but not here sorry (availble in org place where plat was birthed). Ive had dealing with people here that arnt good, about stuff like this and I would rather talk about stuff with people that really want help and stuff sorted or improved. As im sick of aguing about stuff sorry.
