hmmm...theres a word "WAREZ" in Yuki's gallery page. can somebody please summarize the whole paragraph for me?

most seems to think that way, but its never true. you missed the point in the first place. emulate = mimic, and thats basically it. in this case, Neogeo hardware and games were being mimicked. in human terms, if you try to mimic a person and missed a distinct detail or two, then that wouldnt be at least close copy (when compared to others that mimics the same person more completely). go play Last Blade 2 at a real arcade and take a closer look at the fiery house stage. now play it on NRX or Kawaks. it might be a little detail altogether but those little details makes mimicking closer to perfection. also, MAME isnt just slow because of crappy programming or anything, and it has always been like that for a reason. call me a geek anything but i personally dont give a rat's a$$ on what emus you want to use. but if the discussion is about the better neogeo mimicker, i can safely assume that NRX is not the perfect emulator afterall. as a side note, theres no perfect neogeo emulator, not even MAME.

i have to admit NRX still has the friendliest GUI of all the neogeo emulators out there. makes playing nearly as easy as plug-and-play

i actually still use my 300 Mhz Celeron PC here for everything including emulation (jeez, and i thought im alone now since Agozer now has a new workhorse ). ive always used NRX, Kawaks just didnt satisfy me with its performance but since ive used FBA (along with learning to compile my own build), i never had to wait for hacked P ROMs (which took days to weeks back then) just to make it work. plus it was faster than Kawaks ever did on my comp. oh, and i never bothered to look back to NRX either. MAME level accessibility + near NRX speed, total package for me i say.

i got a news for you, i have a fix for your P ROMs (just found out after scrounging my harddrive yesterday). pm me your e-mail address if you want me to send it to you.

the problem are the P ROMs, those are the original release bootleg P ROMs that wouldnt run in anything else other than MAME and FBA. Neither Kawaks loader nor Nebula will work with those P ROMs.

you have the original release decrypted V ROMs which were said to be bootlegs. heres are the patches you need (for 2x8 MB vxd ROMs) 268_vxd_patch.zip

not to be stubborn or anything but i wonder if these older set of decrypted V ROMs could do the trick (assuming youve only tried with the KDev ones) v2d - 945F8831 v4d - 393C9A62 and before i forget, great work you had there man

its not that bad to be honest, its quite good like Agozer says. its just that the PSX and PC version were, to put it simply, PORTS and emulating the arcade version is like playing the real thing. its like having to choose between the real thing and a dumbed down port (by which the answer is obvious). do the math.

hey aqua, can you try making a matrimelee V encrypter?

guess thats also the reason why Capcom itself supported emulation afterall (you know, the Hanaho Hotrod)

old Arcade to PC fighting games ports seems to end up being mediocre than emulating them. i have SFZ2 for PC here and even FBA emulation ran it better on my comp. the framerate isnt the issue but music doesnt sync like the arcade version does and the intro is on a blurry AVI file (like the PSX version), i think i can safely assume SFZ/SFA isnt any better.

hmmm.. it worked on kof2k2 command-line used - "265 4 2 > kof2002.txt" 4 decrypted V ROMs and 2 encrypted Vs. verified by KDev RC dat ive first took mistake the cart-id (wrote 268 instead of 265) and it gave me an illegal operation. when i corrected it, it worked fine. the output was the same without redirecting the result, it only printed the results on screen. used the same command-line without "> kof2002.txt" detecting data xor: decrypted: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 08 08 08 08 08 08 08 08 109800 109578 109848 109719 109648 109323 109623 109940 2 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 104778 105755 106378 106211 106173 105531 106252 106337 encrypted: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 f1 e8 55 fb e2 9a b6 e7 109800 109578 109848 109719 109648 109323 109623 109940 2 79 60 dd 73 6a 12 3e 6f 104778 105755 106378 106211 106173 105531 106252 106337 data xors: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 f9 e0 5d f3 ea 92 be ef 2 f9 e0 5d f3 ea 92 be ef detecting shift (this may take a while): piece guess = 4096. offset 0 piece guess = 4096. offset 0 piece guess = 4096. offset 0 piece guess = 4096. offset 0 searching....................................................................... ................................................................................. ................................................................................. ....................... done 0 (total dist) / 256 (num found) = 0 shift = 0*piece_size - offset = 0 detecting address xor: 0xa5 (675840) 0xa5 (675840) ------------------------- neopcm guesses for 265-v?.bin: data_xor f9e05df3ea92beef addr_xor a5 shift 0

hmmm....i tried it too and i thought its just my slug PC.

theres no loader that works with Kawaks past 1.46

the encryption for this game is the same as ROTD and MS4 did and the v2v tool can deal with it (unfortunately, v2v just isnt easy to use). no need for reverse engineering to find out about it. the V encryption for KOF2002 and above games are vastly different, already known but not publicly released. check attachment for V encrypter (props to SuperCodex for upping it @ RS) pnyaa_d_e_267_v1_1AC7DB71_E2E8E917_.rar

actually, much as i hate to break it to you, it is true. http://www.jtf.org/ i cant recall why Tim hated that site. the way Tim works, you should have an idea by now - its either someone spamming A@H with the site or political view differences - or both. it was a coincidence i say.

youre right, just the second character. all the bosses are usable even in console mode, just not in practice mode in FBA (not a clue how it goes on other emus). but as far as i know, the s1 crc doesnt matter since the glitch fixes are mainly in the P1. and ive even used the same S1 CRC for both (AAEsomething)

8ae0710d (6 MB) - P1 Plus fixed CRC that i used a while ago as far as i remember it didnt have gameplay stopping glitches (like Zero's triple rod in red blood setting, etc.) but it had FBA-specific problems in console mode (cant select characters in practice mode). not sure if those problems would appear in Kawaks.

(hmm..wrong message to post, please delete message)

i cant find any notable gameplay changes in it

The link you gave is about windows, not MacOS. However, maybe John the Ripper could help if the pass is not too complex. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you read his post, it sounds like he wants to use a MAC to troubleshoot a PC that someone forgot the password to. If this wasn't the case, why would he be asking about formatting a hard drive with a Windows filesystem, using a MAC? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks for the replies, i think this is enough for me to stop with the idea. taratata's right. im talking about MacOS password, and if theres just no way knowing the password for it, then the plan is to convert it to a PC. but from your replies, i guess thats just not possible (i figured as much)

i think FEP can use those.pat files. search Romshare Emulation Info threads for the link (cant be arsed to look for it, im sleepy darnit ).

hi all, my friend asked me to do some research on Mac as we may use it to troubleshoot someones machine. because of this i decided to ask a few questions as i dont even have a clue on where to start. 1.) the last time i heard (which was a long time ago), Macs use a different kind of processors but uses the same type of harddrives (only differs on formatting). the question is, is it possible for a Mac to be formatted to use Windows? 2.) the only real reason we have to troubleshoot that machine is because the owner of it lost his password and can only log on to it as a user. someone else changed the password, is it possible for me to know that password? hacking or a program that can do it is what i have in mind, but dont have a clue on what resources i could use/accessible to me. this question may be breaking the forum rules though. 3.) can someone direct me to a "Mac-for-Dummies" kind of site if it isnt too much to ask? i would definitely appreciate if i could get a relevant reply. i didnt post this in the PC Technical Help because..well....its just not a PC thing :\

.bat files are MS-DOS batch files (unless youre being sarcastic or something ). whats the file extension of the compressed files btw (.rar,.zip,.ace,.7z, etc)?
