It started by ffman1985 scripts. Found a way to make them compatible with the normal cps2 versions and not just the phoenix versions. Then he noticed the sound associations didn't work well in cps2, normal since they were never really tested. He says there is a site in the internet with re-arranged versions of the cps2 tracks which sounds very nice with the associations... so they are fixed now, it was much easier than neogeo, their major commands stay the same for all drivers. Then I used the cheats to convert some region bytes switches to some regions which can be changed in raine gui, it allowed to identify region clones, that is clones whose only difference is the region byte itself, and get rid of them since we can now change the region to whatever we want. Notice some games like choko don't have english texts for the non japenese versions, which is not a surprise. Then there was the problem of some long standing graphical glitches because of the dreaded priority masks. So I finally added some emulation for these priority masks, it's quite amazing that the driver worked quite well without them for all this time actually ! (and thanks go to mame for their code, even if I couldn't believe it for very long, they probably spent a long time to find this). Except that : - the list of games now using the console scripts from ffman1985 is longer, see his thread for details. Here it is : hsf2d, sf2cejc, sf2ce, sf2hfj, sf2hf, sf2j, sf2, sf2ad, sfa, sfz2ald, sfz2alj, sfz2al, ssf2ud, ssf2xjd, ssf2xj, xmcotar1d - progear had been broken for 1 year ! It's now fixed. - the ips files can now be bps files when referenced in a .dat file. If you don't know what bps files are, never mind ! - some minor fixes in the multiple files selector for "load ips dat files" - since they never fixed sdl2_image 2.6.x which does not return palettes anymore for 256 colors png, I finally merged the right version of their load_png function to be able to keep the color cycling in the raine dialog on systems with a recent sdl2_image (linux only !) - raine can optionally be compiled using clang, it's mainly useful for debuging - add back button in game controllers to switch between dialog headers and main parts in the gui - Plus some minor stuff... ! That was quite a big update this time : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html Also both appimage files, 32 bits and 64 bits have been updated to 0.95.5, and there was a small problem in the makefile which forced me to make a 0.95.5b version just for the linux packages.

MAMEUI Classic 0.254.0 has been released. I decided to try a different distribution method this time. You can get it from our download section:

And I just posted the binary for 0.95.5d, the very last update for this 0.95.5 version. Just what we discussed in the past week, some improvements for the ips support (mainly load_continue support, but also the way the .dat files text is displayed), and the option to mute the sfa3 announcer in sound options.

Yes, and it's saved in the config file. Disagree on the capital letters, short game names are lower case, not upper case, and it's sfz3j not sfz3, but I can add /sfz3j to be more precise. And I agree for the announcer. Luckily there are already some quite long options there so this one can be long without any trouble. And translatable of course. edit : actually sfz3j and sfz3a are region clones, that is their only difference is their region bytes, so they are removed. The text and what the announcer says is based on the region : zero 3 for japan, and alpha 3 for the rest.

Well these are just qsound sound commands associated to samples of the guy speaking, I had to change to sound commands dialog to accept commands on more than 2 characters because his sounds seem to be from $100 to $13a. Filtering these out would silence him. But it would not be a cheat it needs to be included in the code, and I guess the option would go to sound options then, because I am not going to create a cps2 options just for that... It's committed, last option of the sound options dialog. After doing the sound associations for cps2 it was quite easy actually !

Script for Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3 (sfa3, sfz3jr2) It is already included in Raine 0.95.5c. I makes the script for the parent rom and a japanese rom because this game have missing text when switching region. Console mode script - the menu screen follows the ps2 style - all hidden modes are selectable in the menu Enable hidden characters - hold start on Bison and press any button for Final Bison - the music for Final Bison is playable on vs and training mode for other hidden characters, go to the ?box on the upper part: - hold start button for Barlog - hold up button for Juli - hold left button for 1p side or hold right button for 2p side for Juni

I didn't know there was a possible crash when loading different games using ips patches in the same session, if it's been reported it was lost, anyway I just fixed it. Yeah from what I remember only 1 collection was serious, it must be the fba pack. But emufrance allowed to fix this load_continue thing, so it's fine too. Found a few oddities in romhacking there : https://www.romhacking.net/?page=hacks&genre=&platform=26&game=&category=&perpage=20&order=&dir=&title=&author=&hacksearch=Go actually you have to rebuild the .dat files manually there, they didn't even include them, the majority is clearly for consoles but there are a few original arcade ips, including : - bublbobl ultra : more a proof of concept than a real bublbobl extension like buble bobble redux, but it's not worthless. - donkey kong : this is the one which made me bring bps patching to raine, although I knew I wouldn't like the graphics, nes graphics are horrible usually, but I was still curious to see it. - strider : some rom fixes from a real fan. he went as far as finding there was a music which should play when out of time in the rom and which never played, and managed to fix the rom to make it play, plus improved a few of the graphics. Maybe I should post at least some of the dat files I rebuilt by hand, but it's not very hard to do. I just enhanced the .dat parser to allow spaces or tabs as separators and any number of them. They have a few street fighter patches which are totally equivalent to some of the cheats here, so they don't seem interesting at all. These patches are clearly to burn some real eeprom and not to be used inside an emulator, but why not use them anyway ?

Well you have my thanks, because I even if I couldn't make my ips work, I added some code to handle this load_continue anyway, but the ips files I had were too unstable for any testing. This one works perfectly, I didn't need to change anything, the 2 hidden characters appear and are selectable without any trouble. Perfect ! You'll just need to wait for the next binary then... If nothing new happens till then, next week-end probably ! (but I wonder how these files on github can work, it was updated 2 months ago so it's recent... maybe for some modified emulator ? Anyway it's from a guy from Japan so it's hard to ask questions !). And it's normal loading this ips in the current official version hadn't any effect, all its offsets are > $100000 which means all the changes are inside the load_continue area !

Just posted 0.95.5c version, there are very few changes inside, mainly the few text changes from mer-curious, the change to allow more ips files, 2 new cheat files from ffman1985 : sfa3 and sfa3jr2, and that's all. It's just that there is nothing big in the works for now, so there is no real reason to wait for the ips fix. 0.95.5b was linux only to fix a make install problem. And there should not be any 0.95.5d !

Yeah nice find, I didn't even notice yesterday. It's fixed, 1 message only now, and it doesn't crash on you when too many ips files ! No idea, but for sure they are very different and not comparable. Maybe one day I'll look into it again... ! For your edited commit, well it was already pushed so it had no effect at all here, but don't worry, I just changed the message on my side... !

Script for Super Street Fighter 2, 2X (turbo) and Hyper Street Fighter 2 (ssf2ud, ssf2xjd, ssf2xj, hsf2d) It is already included in Raine 0.95.5. But sorry that we forget to include the scripts for the parent roms, may be in the next version. Console Mode Script: - for Super Street Fighter 2 & 2x (turbo), the menu screen follow the 3DO style. Whereas for Hyper Street Fighter 2, the menu follows PS2 style. Enable Akuma/Gouki Script: (only for the Super Street Fighter 2x (turbo) & Hyper Street Fighter 2) - Press the three punch buttons together on Ryu to select. In VS and Training Mode, the Ryu's stage is for Akuma's stage, but with Akuma's theme. Select the same character Script: (only for Hyper Street Fighter 2 when both side select the SF2 mode) - Press coin button to select the character occupied or selected by the other side Alternative Character Select BGM Script: (only for the Super Street Fighter 2x (turbo) & Hyper Street Fighter 2) - either the classical character select bgm or the world warriors theme. You may not need this if using the sound association function.

The message should probably be too many ips instead of too many roms... ! Anyway... !

As usual it seems you wait for a release to test something like that... And yes it's quite astonishing that all these files work without any conflict ! The normal max number of ips files was 20, which seems already a lot considering the conflicts. With 30 it's still not enough. With 40 it works, and without any conflict. The fix is very easy to do, if you had tested that before the release you would have it already... ! It's an interesting combination for others I guess... !

Excellent, you didn't waste anything here, glad it works anyway !

I'll take a look later at your kof2003 problem, but this kind of path is begging for problems here : spaces + even simple quotes and [ inside a path, and it's so long it becomes ridiculous. Normally there are workarounds for that and this kind of crazy path is accepted, but I hope you at least tried a simpler path before reporting that.

Yeah, ffman1985 was making bigger and bigger scripts which were harder and harder for the old script system, so I tried an lua interface instead, and it made wonders, I can have 0% in Misc with a console script active in linux with the 32 bits version constantly ! The console scripts are available for xmcotar1d, sfz2ald, sfad, af2, af2j, sf2hf, sf2hfj, sf2ce, sf2cejc. For now the old normal version is still available for comparison, but since we couldn't find any bug it will probably be removed next time. The lua version has [lua] at the end of its title. There is a perl converter to convert from the old scripts to the new lua syntax, but it's useful only for those writing scripts ! You can read more details about the crazy work from ffman1985 with these scripts there, and post something for him too : This means you get a new dll, it's included in the raine32 and raine64 zip files for now. Except that : - some last fixes for the multiple files selector to preload ips dat files - a setting to disable ips files globally (at the top of the "preload ips dat files" file selector) - revert a neogeo optimization which made unibios crazy with its strange screensaver (a black screen when using their cheat menu) - a fix so that keys which open a gui dialog are not seen as always down when returning to the game Get it from there : http://raine.1emulation.com/download/latest.html linux binaries updated (except the appImage) edit : oh by the way, the how to compile guide was updated too for lua, and I added a part about the minimum things to know about mingw if you install it only to compile raine.

One good practice is to dowload MameUI from Progetto snaps and then add the extra folder and files you need, as Robber stated...

You need to extract everything that's supplied. Doing just the exe means you miss out on improvements to software lists and to shaders, and probably other things too. Your ini files, cfg files and other transitory things are not affected.

After thinking, we could add a shortcut for the joystick to switch to the top entries where the most recent commands are, with the keyboard it's the tab key. Any proposal for the default button to use on the joystick ? (probably select or start) edit : it's done, with the back button, which is select on a playstation controller.

Thanks for the updated version

And you got a 0.95.4b, a bug specific to windows and which doesn't happen all the time displayed very weird script error messages. And the lua label was missing for the lua console script for sf2, that's all so it's sill 0.95.4, just an update.
