(By the way, I got svc!!!!   It's pretty cool but kinda buggy)

Do you have the Kawaks 1.46 Loader? And correct DAT? (I'm not sure if the Loader and hack are the same thing.)

SSV, unless that Loader works for both...

Well I'm going to download winkawaks 1.46 hack (it has the loader in it) later. I'l see what it does. I think it can run ssv. (Can't wait!!)

[Kao]

Well. I have the emulator and the right rom. It still dosen't work. I mean when I open winkawaks loader, ssv is in the game list. I try rescaning all my games but ssv dosen't appear in my "Available" Game list. I try loading it but nuthin happens. Here's exactly what's in the ssv.zip file


ssv_v1.rom
ssv_v2.rom
ssv_v3.rom
ssv_v4.rom
ssv_c1.rom
ssv_c2.rom
ssv_c3.rom
ssv_c4.rom
ssv_c5.rom
ssv_c6.rom
ssv_c7.rom
ssv_c8.rom
ssv_m1.rom
ssv_p1.rom
ssv_s1.rom


So yeah, they are all here in the zip file. That means I have the right rom. So how come it says" Can't find ssv_p1.rom" when that file is in the zip file? All those data files are in the rom.

I don't know if this helps much, but check that the CRCs of the roms match those found in the DAT.

This is much more down james' alley really.

CRCs...? DAT? What the heck are those???

When you open the WinZip window, you should see a row named CRC...
If not, goto Configuration and check the CRC box there. Now you should see the CRCs of the files inside the ZIP.

Now, open up your SSV DAT with Notepad and maybe you'll see something like this: (This may not be entirely accurate)

The 8 or so numbers before the last ',0' are the CRCs of each file recognized by the DAT. They have to match the roms' CRCs.
Paste the contents of your SSV DAT if you're confused... There should be a folder in Kawaks that contain the DATs for different games...

Hey everyone. My first post here, and... Well, I'm ready to get flamed.

See, whenever I try to download the individual roms from that spanish site, the link changes -- or is it redirects? -- to some "network.vizit.us" crap. There's like a user agreement contract, members area, login, and it starts downloading some "vizit us" application crap. Now, I've look through the past posts in this thread and it's made no mention of this, so I'm assuming I'm the only one with this problem. Well I assumed maybe I needed to first register on that site before I could start downloading anything, so that is what I did and I got the same results. Either way, I'm lost and I'm spanish illiterate.

I could just download the whole thing in one big zip file from another site, but I'm on dialup and this would take me well over five hours -- not to mention the likely possibility of repeatedly getting cut off. Is there any other site from which people can download the individual roms or I can only get them from that spanish site?

On a side note, though I've got the right version of NRX to play this rom, won't I also need to have the Bios files? Where would I download the Neogeo Bios?

As to my emulation history, it's pretty pathetic. Though I do have a very general understanding of using roms and such. I have used zsnesw, FBA, Neorage-x, visualboy advance, etc. in the past without too much problems however.

Well...thanks for whatever answers you can provide.

P.S. oops...I think the bios already came with that latest NRX emulator. They're the files that are in the neogeo folder which is in the ROM folder, correct? Also, if I were to try and download the whole thing from http://3x3x.com/kof/samsho5.zip do the roms work in NRX and include the correct P rom or whatever, or would I have to go about manually changing names?

You have two methods:

1. Put the BIOS files (the plain files) to the same directory where you have the Neoragex.exe file.

2. Compress the BIOS files to a ZIP file named "neogeo.zip and put that ZIP into the NeoRAGEx roms folder.
