Oooh....scary...whatever.

I agree. What an idiot. He should have pawned the kid instead.

SSV IS an improvement over SSIV. No stupid CD combos, ridiculously powerful fierce slashes, annoying flickering background crap. Plus more SSII like play mechanics like dodging, rolling makes it a winner. The only downside to SSV was the gameplay balance. (ie Yoshitora infinite and the qcf+B all day bullshit).

More like it stops working once you tweak it too far

Go test for myopia.

Uhh....summer is in December. It's really cold now. You ppl are weird.

400, that way out of budget. I'm tryin to keep it below 100 ozzie beans. But the mini-itx looks really sweet. Anyway, how did you get the laptop CD to work with a desktop mobo? Did you have to gut anything?

I'll look into it. The USB drive is not necessary though, because - it adds to the cost - it uses one more USB port. Most baby form factors have only 2 I believe, so I'll be 1 short for the 2nd controller. - everything can be housed on the live cd.

Good point Time to lay off the LSD.

Just got hit by an idea today that I'd like to share (although I'm damn sure it's not original). I was thinking about making a dedicated emulator "console" that can be plugged into a regular TV by using cheap, old off-the-shelve PC parts. It's sort of like a MAME cabinet but rather than making an entire arcade cabinet, I'm modelling it after a game console instead. Anyway, cut the BS and get to the tech design (much of it is still hazy and WIP, though): Hardware: - Baby form factor mobo (If I'm not wrong, these things are quite new? Do these support PIIIs? Someone enlighten,pls). - PIII 800Mhz CPU or equivalent. - 256MB SDRAM (maybe more, but I'm trying to keep my costs down) - 2 USB ports for controllers/joysticks (hopefully integrated as well) - 2 10-button USB sticks/pads. - Uses the mobo's integrated sound and gfx hw to keep space down. Most emus - render in software, so cutting edge 3d not required. Probably looking at somewhere - in the neighbourhood of 8mb VRAM. - 16X CD-ROM drive. - That's it. Anything I left out? Notes: - the main problem I foresee now for hw is getting TV out to work. Is there some kind of VGA -> TV adaptor? - Cooling might be another sticky issue. Software: - Linux kernel 2.6.x - mod-init-tools. - hotplug - glibc (maybe uclibc if possible) - zlib - X.org - libSDL - XMAME - busybox Notes: - The idea is that the system relies on a bootable, self-contained linux live CD. So, no other disk drives are required other than a CD-ROM. More ram might be needed to compensate for the lack of swap space though. Hopefully, 256MB suffices. - This system is mainly for CPS1/2 and Neo games, and perhaps a couple of other games from other oddball systems. - modinittools and hotplug may be unnessary if I compile everthing statically. - I'm trying to keep the core support system (ie the kernel, c libraries etc) within 8MB (less if possible) since this is going to use ramdisk which is deduced from our main RAM pool. Non-core files (emu,xserver etc) will be taken off the live cd. - I also need to strip off unwanted junk from the default setups of most of those packages. eg Xorg installs with over 50mb of crap. More on this later. - Another problem is that I'm lacking a graphical front-end that runs without any extra toolkit dependencies (ie no QT, gtk or other crap, just pure Xlib) that can be gamepad controlled. (remember, this setup has neither mice nor keyboard). Physical Case: - Haven't given much thought here. Probably needs to be custom made. Comments, suggestions and feedback most welcome. Flames, OTOH, can fsck off.

Hahaha. You make me laugh. Last Blade!!! Scrubby. I can tell you now, scrubs won't win in this game. Gameplay was near perfect imo. The samurai shodown series is like mortal kombat, all gore/graphics with no substance. Definately my favourite game along with Garou on the Neogeo. I bet u have never played competitively before. Samsho all gore no substance? 3 and 4, maybe. But the other games in the series (esp 2) are definitely top notch, competitive games. There are tourneys for samsho2 still being held this very day. Don't even compare SS with trash like MK. They're not even in the same league. LB is a fun game, I'll give it that. But the gameplay system is pretty broken (infinite supers when life bar flashing etc) and scrubby (dial/spaz combos).

The one thing I want is for the game to not be as god-damned broken as the first.

The audio and visual designs in the game were great. But gameplay was, oh so scrubby. They should revamp the gameplay style into a KOF style of Samsho style and all would be fine.

Samurai Shodown V Special x 3

That's ok. I've already gotten it to build. Currently testing SFA3.

No, I'm not. I discriminate against everyone equally.

Which hardware/CPUs should be built for a CPS2 only mame? If anyone has successfully built such a mame, can he post a copy of his mame.mak? Thanks.

ahh...i see. so do you consider yourself more asian than american?

Ok i confess. I ate all the posts cos I was hungry.

Ironic how someone who professes to "love america" names himself after an ancient Chinese war strategist.

You need the unicode layer (unicows) import lib for the first error. Go search sourceforge for libunicows to get a copy.

Dude thats sick, and if that happened to me, which it never has and never will i would probablie kill you!!! :- It already happened. I'm sorry.

Hmmm..... A size cup. That brings down the score a little. Nevermind, just do her anyway. After that you can move on to her mum. One day if your friendship with this best friend sours, you can use that classic "I did it with your sis and mum." comeback line and really mean it.

Where did they get the DC rips from? Was there ever a DC fighting game?
