Mameox128 - Working Romset Project Options

[ressurectionx]

Since I was going to test all the parents of US roms anyways, I've decided that I will have all US roms in the build, but also include all of the US roms parents as well if they weren't the parent. If I can figure out how to manipulate the GUI to do it, there will be the ability to turn off the US roms and turn on the parents if that is what you prefer.

I was able to remove quite a bit more code durning testing of roms previously remarked as not working. For example, all of the stv code is gone now because none of those games work. I did test one game so far that works fine if you shut the sound off that's not included with the Midway drivers. That's "Rayforce"... either that version or its parent "Gunlock". They work fine when you take the sound off. Perhaps BP will add that to his build as well if he hasn't already.

I have managed to reduce the .xbe file to 27.5 MB. Build times are faster than ever now.

I just fixed the hell out of "The Tin Star"

Now movement is with the left joystick, gun direction is with the right joystick, fire is right trigger and jump is left trigger. I'ts great that way.

It was all messed up before. Gun direction was left trigger, movement was right trigger (the exact opposite of Smash T.V. and all games like that where gun direction is right trigger). Also X was jump and A was fire. Try pressing either of those when your thumbs are already on both joysticks.

Got a few other game fixes so far, but the list is being made and will be available at the time the build gets released.


Oh... smothermunchie. I know you mentioned "Shuffleshot" before. I still haven't figured out how to map it so you can release the puck, but I did try the game without music and it seems to run smoothly. If I can get the controller fix good, I'll let you know. You'll just have to play your own music while playing the game.


Nevermind man... I just looked it up and it's a trackball game. That's why I can't release the puck. Until they enable some sort of trackball support (possibly never), I won't be able to get this one working.

Hey Res!

So yeah, whatever you feel best about those quiz games, go ahead and do what you think is right for them.

Again, they're not sexy but a lot of fun in a group setting.

I don't believe that you can't answer some of those questions though.

I thought you were dated the same as me, mid to late 30s.

Anyway, sorry about the Shuffleboard game, I thought it was assumed you needed a trackball for it.

But that's fine, the real physical version is much better to play at the bar then the video game.

Just to bring up some of the past, here's my only suggestions, most of them are just repeats from before.

Puzzle de Bowling (again great game, worked great with MameOx, not sure why you're not getting good speed on your end)
Othello Derby (interesting Japanese game, good to play a few times a month, nothing more though)
Super Dodge Ball (was this included with CoinOps?)
Star Castle (not very important, but it does bring me back to the good old days)
Cyberball (This was unplayable though, correct?)
Hard Drivin' (Anyone try this out for DosXbox, if so, is it playable at good speeds?)

That's all that I will ever be able to come up with, nothing more.

Oh, and Gundhara is bar none my favorite out of all of these arcades. Problem is, it crashes at the first boss when playing with two people plus it runs a little chunky from time to time.

It's still the first game I fire up every time when using MameDox Arcades but is there any other games similar to this that you could suggest that supports two players as well?

Thanks a bunch.

Hope you're still getting drunk every night to finish this off for us.

Most of those games are in CoinOPS........ CoinOPS 2nd Quarter is released tonight

[ressurectionx]

Nope.... lol. Mid to late 20's here man.

Lots of great new fixes on Coin Ops, so I'd try that new version and see what's still missing. Too bad it doesn't have perfect Game/Manufacturer names, the 2 player alternating fixes, and the perfect control for the 20+ games I've totally fixed in the source though. I'd love to combine his GUI manipulation with my source changes.

Still working on mine though. Maybe I'll figure that stuff out on my own.

I think I just figured out how to disable the screen flipping in cocktail mode for the rest of the games that are 2 player alternating so the control will flip from joystick 1 to joystick 2 now. I'll have to do it within the drivers for each of the games individually, but it just worked on Mr. Do and Mad Alien just fine. It will be quite a bit of work, but I will do it when I'm making other fixes to the drivers.

hey rx sounds good man, looking forwrd to your releases. Haven't been on here in a while, been alot going on. got a question for you which i asked on 1emu and was called a "tire-kicker" and troller. anyways i was wondering if there is a way to add drivers for bonk's adventure possibly? I took a look at some of the mame source and it's confusing as hell so much respect to everything you are doing.

But was i just wondering if there is ever a way to get a fix for bonks adventure on mame. It's a great game.

Add the game then go search for new roms its supported in any version of mame over .77 which is mameox, mamedox, hk128, plat 1 and 2, arcades, coinops ....

alot went down there and you picked a name that looked exactly like the releasers name I was instructed to keep an eye on things.... with that name you wont get any help over there sorry

Heh.... you're a favorite at 1emu too, huh? I don't get my posting privelages back there until May 2nd and I wouldn't be suprised if they take them away shortly thereafter again.

Hope that that explanation made sense to you and you can figure that one out there. BP definately knows what he's talking about. But I read that explanation 3 times and still don't get what you're supposed to do.

Good luck,

Its eactly the same name as the releasers with xxx at both ends (this makes people jumpy due to history stuff) if it wasnt for this as stated in the forum there would have been no issues, it seemed to be suspicous. Just add the game to the rom folder, then press start in the EMU to select scan roms or scan for new games. This will add it

This is the wrong forum for this stuff....ill stay out of thread for this stuff as its off topic really
Sorry

well bonk's adventure does run in the versions of mame i have, it's just it's all scrambled and garbled and everything. I think the driver was corrected for this in verision .94 or something like that, my question originally was only is there a way to implement an updated driver to run the game correctly, that's all.

I don;t know much about mame coding, my experience is still learning how to work with xport's nes emu and the like. All i want to know is there a way to actually play bonk's adventure and it run correctly.

I cant add this to coinops full build sorry as it requires new dats (should be pretty easy to update standealone). But im starting a new FBAxxx total remake and I see bonks adventure can run in that if the core is updated so cross your fingers.

how could you do this standalone? so there is a way to play this. Please keep this game in mind in the fbaxxx remake if you can get it in, this game and fixeight both run in mame but both have problems displaying correctly.

thanks for the info, this was all i was asking you in the other forum. Sorry to get off topic in your thread rx, just wanted some input as if we will ever see new games in builds of mame and other xbox arcade emus.

Don't sweat using my thread for some intelligent discourse. 1emu is full of idiot frat boy buddies and BP arselickers so it's hard to get any info over there, especially once they've put a target on your ass. Don't know what you did to piss 'em off, but I wouldn't doubt that it was something as innocient as having a name similar to some other guy they had a hard on for, for whatever dipshit reason.

Hope he figures it out for you, because adding games that aren't already in the source at this point is way out of my league.

Good luck,

UPDATE: I'm at work now, so a few days off of this for me now.... but I had an update on the screen flipping. While what I did works perfectly for "Mad Alien", I spoke too soo and it didn't fix the entire problem for Mr. Do. This problem is also the same with Pac-Man and all of the other games on the Pac-Man.c driver. The first person plays just fine, but when it goes to the second person, the background is unflipped (like I want it) but pacman and all the ghosts are upside down. It's the weirdest thing eating pellets upside down on the left side of the screen and seeing them disappear from the right side of the screen. Same for Mr. Do as well. This one is real tricky, as it's not readily apparent why the background fipped but the sprites didn't, but I'll figure it out with trial and error. Hopefully when I figure this out I can get the rest of the 2 player alternating games working right.

It's quotes like this, made by you, that prolonged you and Bp's and 1emulation's argument to the point of utter ridiculousness... quotes like this that just won't let crap go when there is no need to bring it up. Look at Bp's past 4 or so responses, all helpful, why bring this crap up again? Though who knows, maybe it would have gone unnoticed without a dipcrap quote like mine to fuel the flames, but I'm just making an observation and I'll quit now.

Anyhow, Rx, seems like you are indeed making progress and that is commendable, looking forward to seeing your builds.

@BP - In my opinion, It's actually great that you are working with FBAxxx now, since that is the emulator that usually plays my favorite neo geo fighters the best, I love some of those games... Just recently got into double dragon. Anyhow best of luck.
