    Combos Thread

    I suck at combos. That's why I suck at the playing roms. I need to find my Sidewinder!! I can't believe I lost it.

     

    But I did this combo with Terry and Joe (Terry was leader) on my keyboard. Forgot the exact number but I enjoyed it.

     

    Stand A->Stand A->Tag Attack Joe->Bakuretsu Ken->Bakuretsu Finish (A)->Screw Upper

    Who would you vote for president?

    All I know is that I ain't going to vote (through my dad :blink:) for Bush.

     

    The U.S. PATRIOT Act is a load of crap. It is just like COINTELPRO, and FBI agency in the 1960's that destroyed the American Indian Movement (AIM), The Communist Party (CP), and the Black Panther Party (BPP). They also are linked to the murders of Malcolm X and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (More Info at Cointel.org

     

    Also, he uses Christianity as a springboard for his politics. I am an atheist, but I see him use his religion as if the whole of the U.S. IS Christian themselves. Also, after almost all his speeches, he says "May God keep Blessing America" as if we are the only country to get a "blessing" from God.

     

    So, all in all, Bush is a DOUCHE!!!

    Right on Brother!

    Anyone know if their are cheats out yet. I can't beat the game with the Korea team. I beat it with Garou, Benimaru, The Guardian or whatever it's called, and Hero. But I can't beat the damn game with the Korea team!

    I can beat the game with Korea team with difficulty 8 (expert mode). I just beat the game today. :blink:

     

    Use good use of Chang, he is really good if you can use him well. A good move with him: Keep pressing A, he will rapidly attack a person with his hand then suddenly he will spin the iron ball.

     

    Any questions about Korea team, ask. I always use Korea team. :D

    I see, I suck completely with Chang. I can use Kim and Jhun pretty well but the get defeated when Kusanagi has about 3/4 of the last life bar left so I'm screwed. I'm going to play next weekened with them because I have too much work now.

     

    Thanks for the Chang tip.

    What's wrong with MAME32?

    in Arcade Emulators [/pc/arcade]

    Well, what's wrong with MAME in general, it blows.

     

    It has no features on it  that the other emulators don't have, besides running all those games on random arcade machines that nobody ever plays anyway, and its interface sucks.  You can't add in external dat files, you have to compile your own version with built in drivers, which are harder to make.  I fixed KOF2003 last night, and I had to download a program to get the SHA1 for the s1 file I fixed, so I could make a new driver for KOF2003.  I compiled my own version of mame32 plus to run it on, because as much as I hate mame, I love KOF.  If you want to know how I did it, check the thread here.  Some of the mame lovers might appreciate this.  People like me will just see it as hassle... the only reason I did it anyway is because programming is easy for me and also I'm stubborn.

     

    Anyway, in final answer to your question, MAME really doesn't have anything bad about it except for its interface and the fact  that to add new games instead of copying and pasting a dat file you have to make a driver and recompile mame, but it doesn't have anything better about it than the other EMU's, and still many more people use it.  Why, I have no idea.  Compiling mame every time you need to add a new game, is not for programming n00bs... it would be hard for them to do copying and pasting.  If they just downloaded an already compiled version, that's like a 6 meg download every time which is annoying to.  I've compiled mame32 plus.  It's supposed to have many advanced features... I see none.  The interface is crappy, especially the games list, because mame can't sort them into neat columns, it leaves them all jumbled to high hell.  So why the hell do people use it?  (Referring to the people who like mame, and aren't using it to play KOF2003 because they have no other choice.)

     

    By the way, don't try to say MAME being able to play KOF2003 makes it better.  It can't play 2003 on its own, you have to compile it yourself.  If Nebula or Kawaks were open source, I could compile them to run it too; the reason adding dat fiels won't work is because KOF2003 uses different rom banking, so the internal universal driver to go along with dats uses different rom banking than KOF2003, so it won't work.  By the way, Nebula and Kawaks are BOTH compiled in C and C++ (the two most advanced programming languages... also the best.)

     

    [EDIT]I forgot to answer that question about mame using more resources.  Yes, it does.  I don't know as far as memory goes, probably yes because it's language isn't that efficient, but what I'm referring to is hard drive space.  These resources aren't a problem for me, I have a 3.00 GB processor, 1024 MB RAM, 78 GIG hard drive etc, but I mean, I saved a state last night on KOF2003, and I checked in hte folder.  The SAVE STATE was 8.85 MB.  On Nebula and Kawaks, save states are like... a few dozen KB's if that.  I mean, think about it.  If you compile mame without using UPX packer, it's 24 MB.  With packer it's 6 MB.  One save state is practically twice the size of the damn emulator.  That's ridiculous.

    Very insightful. I haven't dabbled at all with MAME. All I do is open it up and double click on KOF2003. I haven't even tried to explore it. The interface is crap.
