Question, guys: Is Street Fighter 1 (the very first one) running on FBA-XXX 1.29c? I know that CoinOPS is running, but since CoinOPS does not accept command line, no candy for a shortcut! Regards, Cospefogo.

Thanks, Kenshiro!!!!!

Superb.

Hey guys, I just really would love to see a RESIZE SCREEN OPTION while RUNNING a game... I mean - You enter a game, and from the IN GAME MENU you can resize the screen, with the game image being shown in the TV display (and not a black screen). This could HELP a lot to set proper screen sizes for the games. The maths sometimes are not precise. I try to use the value resulting from the mathematical screensize conversion and yet I get a very very very small distortion, but noticeable. The only way to fix is USING the old "resize method" by the controller. If the suggestion above is not do-able, maybe we can AT LEAST have a NUMERICAL DISPLAY LABEL in the screen of what sizes are we adjusting? This could help a lot too... When you enter the screen size adjustment feature you see the black screen and PLUS the coordinates + actual size. Just like the wonderful Xport classic method. This is good as gold. I like to see what I am doing, what size I am going, how many units I am increasing or decreasing, things like that. But don't worry BP, I will not pester anybody else in the world about the screensize features - most of the people don't care --- and for those who care my hack of CoinOPS saves the day, right, Mr. Zhoul? Cheers! Cospefogo.

You guys are the nastiest people I ever met! *chuckles* *pickles* *knuckles* *bingles* C.

You are funny. Send me your real address and I will remit some Brazilian Pumpkin+Coconuts Jam for you to eat with white bread and french wine. C.

Fu fu fu fu fu! Yeah. Osman & Night Slashers all get all of my votes! EAGER to see them working! C.

Hey man, I did not intend to be harsh, sorry. It's my poor english that make my message look like rude sometimes. I wonder if YOUR version is remapping the coin button. Last time I tried, It was not. +T+ has nothing to do with 1.29c, correct? Your work is not crappy, your work is superb. I really appreciate the new improvements, but since I am just to play, as sooner as possible, I stayed on 1.28 that all games installed are running for me. without extra work. And I know that Google can teach me very well. When I find out for sure that the CoinBUTTON remap is working again and all your new features/improvements/retouch gets finished, for sure I will migrate, and will ask GOOGLE about the best way to fix my roms. Question: On FBA1.28 I have some decrypted and some non-decrypted roms (Metal Slug for example). I remember I wanted to get rid of the Encrypted ones and to keep only the decrypted, but then the games were not loading anymore. I need BOTH sets for the game to work. People told me about MERGING sets but I did not move forward on this procedure. How is it on 1.29? Am I able to have just ONE SIMPLE set for a game? I hate having dozens of versions of a same game. For me just one is what I need to simple ---------------- PLAY. =D Thanks! C.

I was eager to migrate to 1.29 some time ago, JUST BECAUSE in 1.28 I can't remap the damn coin button. How is it now, Kensho? Anyone could please tell me if the BACK BUTTON remapping is working again? This was a stated bug in 1.28 by the very own creator, Mr. +T+. And more, with few tests I made on 1.29 most of my roms stopped to work. YES - I know I need to "update" my romsets using that "CLRMAME & ROMCENTER" tools, but GOD - I really have no idea what to do to BUILD a total functional new romset for 1.29. If someone can teach me, it would be a pleasure to migrate back. At the moment, I am still on 1.28 where all games works fine with no need to mess with romsets. Regards, Cospefogo.

I am really interested on this game too! C.

S.T.F! Is it already there? Really? Are you sure? WONDERFUL. I did think it was not present on the current releases... I was looking for something like "OverClock Options", "InGame Sound Options" and things like that. So it is hidden under the name of "OnScreen Display"! Super, man! Thanks for pointing the correct direction. I will check it later today. By the way, do you know why I want to make use of this option? With it is possible to modify - on the fly - the sound volume for several channels of a game. Specifically I want to use this settings on BadDudesVsDragonNinja, GoldenAxe, Shinobi and few others. Those games have wonderful music soundtracks but the voices and sound FX are damn too high! BadDudes specially has really noisy voices... and Golden Axe's foes shout crazy "Oooh My God" words all the time. If I turn up the surround sound volume too much to be able to listen better to the games soundtracks my wife will request a divorce! She hates the "Aaarghs", "Ouccchs", "Banngs" and "Clangs" of most of the games. Ha ha ha ha ha! Thanks again! Cospefogo.

Big Fight sounds really interesting to me!!! Nice pick! C.

Oops, sorry. ごめんなさい！

I remember a superb game that I used to play a lot on Sega Genesis and PC Engine. It is one of the all time classics - its name is: GAIN GROUND! However it is not playable in any mame's out there. Why, dear God! Why? Cospefogo.

BP my man... *PLEASE*: Make the CPU Overclock option keys able to remap!!! I mean: To be able to change BACK+RIGHT THUMB to something else... Remember, arcade sticks does not have the THUMB buttons! Cheers, Cospefogo.

I am with RessurectionX. I hate to have in my romlists things like: Game Name Version 1 Game Name Version 2 Game Name Decrypted Game Name Not Decrypted Game Name Version 3 Game Name Version 3b Game Name Euro Game Name USA Game name USA V2 Bootleg ...yadda yadda yadda yadda... I had many trouble and spent a lot of time to clean my FBAXXX 1.28 romset. I wanted to remove all crappy sport games in first instance (for me the only nice sport games in the world are Golf and Tennis, the other ones should never get invented!). I also wanted to remove the hundred versions of Street Fighter games and similar. And I got stuck when I wanted to remove all the Metal Slug dupes but ended discovering that I need the original sets even to run the decrypted ones... They are linked together, something like that. Then I tried to run the infamous ClrMame/Romcenter programs to merge my Metal Slug sets, but I really gave it up the idea. I don't understand those programs. I am also still using the FBA-XXX 1.28 because when I switched to 1.29 most of the roms stopped to work, and again, I have no idea of how to correct them. I am patiently waiting for someone over the 'places' t release a brand new FBA-XXX 1.29 romset. When this happens, Cospefogo will be migrating! And I really hope that the problem with setting a different coin button instead of the bundle back setting has been corrected for ever. Keep up the good work, Kensho! Cosme.

Here man... http://fancyxbox.info/?doc=1&secao=coinops I do explain how to setup different installs of Mame CoinOPS, but it is the also same for Mameox128 Plus with one difference... in MameoX 128 you must search for this while hex editing --- 454D414D. Enjoy! Cospefogo.

I have two original Sega Saturn pads plugged in the Xbox using the MagicBox Joypad Adapter. It translates original Sega Saturn, Dreamcast & PSX into Xbox language. The only problem with the Saturn pads are --- You have all buttons, except the BACK and the Thumbsticks. Thumbs are not sooo necessary, but back is in some case. FORTUNATELY, I was able to configure ALL my emus, even MAME to never need the Back button ever. So, the perfect play environment was achieved!! I also have a original Sega Saturn pad released in Japan specially for PS2. This was a limited series and they DO HAVE the BACK BUTTON equivalent! Wonderful pad. This pad and the MagicBox adapter are very rare... I think I was lucky for finding them! Cospefogo.

Oh yes... The Street Fighter Anniversary pads are nice. I had 3 here... Two Guile's and one Akuma's. But I ended selling all of them to my friends... I still prefer the PS2 pads (better the PSX with no analogic thumbs) over the Street Fighter ones. And of course, the Sega Saturn on top of all, on a shiny golden throne. Cospefogo.

For me, to my person, my very own self, the BEST arcade sticks out there are the PSX/PS2 sticks from the japanese brand HORI. I used to have many of them around here, and they never let me down. You should buy: - One PS2 joypad adapter from the brand MAYFLASH (it really the best) - One PS2 arcade stick from the band HORI. Unfortunately the joypad adapter is SOLD OUT in PlayAsia, the best place to find it with a very nice price. But I think it is still common enough to find it on other stores. About the HORI arcade, you can find in eBay. I recommend you to keep an eye on this store - Superb Articles From Japan - extremely trust-able, honest seller, perfect goods, fast shipping, one of my faves! From time to time he carries on some HORI arcade sticks on nice prices, like $10, $15 USD. And --- for me, to my person, my very own self, my feelings, my taste - the regular Xbox S-Controller should be banned from the face of the earth. If you can't find the Arcade sticks, play with a PS2 controller. It is MUCH MUCH MUCH better in oldskool systems and arcade games than the bundled Microsoft controller. Yadabadabloo! Cospefogo.

Hey man!!!! Sorry but you are having the wrong view of the whole thing! ZYZ are virtual drives, some kind of "virtual caching" drives that are created when you are running things on your Xbox. They are not really there. They use spaces from the real ones CEF for example. Cheers, Cospefogo.

Yes, there is!!! For Famicom (pretty hard to find the game cassete, it's rare) and for NES (US). But I don't remember the name! I don't like this game. Ha ha. C.

Yeah man! I also hope for that. I wish I could be a skilled Xbox developer to create my own crazy-neurotic stuff, but since this is absolutely NOT the case, I rely on others good will and good sense. In the meanwhile, let's keep digging alternative paths to reach our favorite places! Follow me the brave ones! Cospefogo.

Comrades, I just created 3 new configuration files: - One for Raiden and few other games - One exclusive for Contra - And one exclusive for Super Contra Please visit the tutorial page to have access to the configuration package. Also, here goes a small preview of what I did! Link: http://fancyxbox.info/?doc=1&secao=coinops Cospefogo.

Hey Spaabck, I have found a comprehensive list with MAME games and the info about their resolution, but I don't know if it is complete or what. Please check it here: http://fancyxbox.info/xtras/mamelist.txt About your suggestion of having MAME setting up the correct resolution I also thought about that, MameX B6 does that... but, since there are many vertical games and some games that run in weird super wide sizes (Like Darius and that with Ninja guys) this could not be good. The nice thing could be an option that can be turned ON or OFF. Example: You can have a global video configuration that will force all games to run under it (like the actual CoinOPS) and a Real Screen Size mode. When the latter is turned ON, Mame will check the size of the game and force the correct resolution for it. If it is OFF, Mame will use the Global settings. I suggested this to BrutneysPairs already, but I don't know if he will work on that, he seems to not care much about the real aspect ratio of the games, and I understand him, most of the people enjoy the blur and the nasty filtered effects - and - most of the people want 100% of the screen used by the image! People don't like black bars on the sizes (like in a 256 width games). Other thing I remember... A 10x11 Pixel Aspect Ratio could be awesome. This is also called 720x480 mode in Xport's emulators. A very USEFUL feature for wider games on SDTVs running in 480i. Cheers, Cospefogo.
