A Murder of Crows

It does make a difference to useability....so much so that i'm still using FBA-XXX 1.28 pro for playing these games in our group. Unless something changed since 1.4, every game has it's own controller settings....there is no over-reaching controller scheme. Our sticks do not match the default settings, so in order to make the sticks useable, we have to go in to each game and fiddle. It is time consuming in comparison to the old way of doing it. Our matches are fast paced, and people are encouraged to bring thier own controllers. Maybe getting the main FBA to support this is the proper way to go? Right, but how many different lists does it support? I miss the functionality of different lists in FBA-XXX where NeoGeo, cps1, and cps2 were all separated. Anyway, the one thing MAME/CoinOps has that i truly wish was here was a multiple list sort/filter option. For UI, i can't imagine this being too difficult, but i haven't worked with the emu internals either. Having the sore/filters in main list make it much more intuitive to use, imo. I haven't seen this "work" yet. I run the emu in 720p, but i want the games to be scaled from their native resolutions. Instead, FBL is scaling them full (read: stretched out/wide) screen, and i can't find a quick setting to get the aspect ratio right. I have to estimate about how big it should be. Maybe i missed something here? You're planning to remove supported games from FBL? most likely it'll be a pre-made edited favorites list. Ugh. Please don't. On the EmuXtras set, pr0n was a separate folder that the end user could choose to add to the main set. This works well. I don't want a default setting censoring or removing games, i want that left to the end user. I do want to thank you both for your continued work on this emu. I use it for my own personal, casual stuff. I hope it can evolve to a point where we can use it in tournaments as well.

Posting this again in hope of some work on it. I looked through the changelogs and never saw this mentioned: + T + (and now destronger) Three things: 1: Here is a (probably outdated) list of Pr0n roms from FBL 1.3 blockgal.zip bubl2000.zip dblpoint.zip drtomy.zip fantasia.zip fantsia2.zip fantsy95.zip funybubl.zip galhustl.zip galpanic.zip gumbo.zip honeydol.zip loverboy.zip lvgirl94.zip magicbuba.zip mchampdx.zip missw96.zip msbingo.zip mspuzzle.zip multchmp.zip newfant.zip nmg5.zip paprazzi.zip pclubys.zip pkladies.zip streakng.zip supmodel.zip wondstck.zip zerozone.zip zipzap.zip I don't use romcenter or anything at the moment so i have no clue as to if these roms are named the same or not now. 2: My old requests still stands i believe, as i did not see anything in the changelog that addresses them. if any of these have been fixed, i apologize. A. Control Changing: I'd like to 2nd the opinion/request of someone earlier in this thread. We street fighter players would much rather have a "push the button you want to use for this function" style of control scheme setup, the way FBA-XXX Pro had. B. screenshot changing....i'd like a means of changing the screenshots via the X button as there is no right stick on my arcade sticks. Would also like to see a change in screenshot/image every 5 seconds or so. this will help a ton C. Filter ability in the main game list. Yes, i know we could access filters from the main menu, but it's counter-intuitive to do a filter listing that way. I'd rather have the main list be filter-able on the fly, especially for games in Final Burn. Our group really likes to be able to filter out the difference between Neo Geo, CPS1, and CPS2 boards quickly for the kind of stuff we do D. (this might already be in, but if not i wanted to mention it) The ability to create custom filters on the fly. I'd like to be able to search for games with the words "Street" and "Fighter" and save the search as a filter. E. (longshot, but let's try anyway) Networking capabilities, if possible. Not for online play, but more for easy access to download extras. Even a simple FTP server that can run for updates and then when it exits, it relaunches the emu (so it doesn't tie up resources). good if you want to drop out of a game to add screenshots, cheats, or guides. Would be even better if it had the ability to download directly from online resources. That was all from the earlier 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 threads. 3. I could not find a way in 1.5 to have the UI be in 720p but the emu screens to be native/pixel perfect. Did i miss something? I swear i saw it was added... Big thanks for your continued work. Please help me be rid of FBA-XXX Pro 1.28 forever

maybe this could be done as an Xtras project? i figure, configs for people who use Saturn Pads, Arcade Sticks, Xbox controllers, and the SF Anniversary controllers could all be supported, and via batch could be swapped.

Thank you good sir. When that change to the controls occurs, i can safely remove FBA Pro from my systems.

I'm for this as well, but may i ask that hacks and alt versions be included as well? mainly street fighter related, as different versions have different Guile glitches.

one of the very first xbox related downloads i ever had was a soul calibur mod that had Cheetara from the ThunderCats in it, among others. i have searched far and wide for that disc again, but i never did find it. my original burn of it went bad and i gave the xbox that had it installed to someone a year before i realized it was gone. would LOVE to see this stuff back in action.

i'd like to see a "global" setting and an individual setting. global setting would put everything at a certain "starting point" but would be able to be changed. individual game settings would override global settings.

i hear you on all of the above. i had been searching for that post for a little while, and only wanted it in here so i didn't lose it again.

This is a "future request" as it took me awhile to find my old message and i don't want to lose it. please ignore for now, and thanks for working on this. ---------- Just got this running today. Well done! couple of notes/requests: 1. screenshot changing....i'd like a means of changing the screenshots via the X button as there is no right stick on my arcade sticks.

can i get a link to the latest, full version, via pm? I have been looking for Showroom as a base but i just can't find the full version, and i'm so completely confused by all the name changes that i'm not even sure which one is right anymore. I thought maybe the first page would lead me to either who i need to PM now or what to search for to get the latest full editions, but it didn't help either. thanks guys

i don't see any of the doom legacy enhancements....the ability to look up and shoot specifically. any test that out?

its okay kenshiro. the scene is in a weird place right now, between egos and such its hard to see what if there is any actual progress being made. i wish NES would jump back and produce some updates.

New problem My arcade stick can't get into the right click menu anymore. This used to be a problem with Final Burn Alpha Pro 1.28, and what i'd normally end up having to do is overwriting the TDATA for the emulator with proper files, however for some reason i can't find the file that will let me do this. I've actually reinstalled this multiple times at this point. Anyone got any ideas?

none would be the answer because if you take a look at maws. http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/ it will tell you that the game was first added in mame 0.89 and mame on xbox is currently at 0.84 but obviously it has had a lot of new gms added thanks to iq132. so its no for now me thinks. i was wondering more about FBL. i don't keep up with the PC emulation scene. if it doesn't run on my xbox i probably don't want it....except this. This i want bad.

does anyone here know if it's possible to get this game (jchan2.zip) running on an xbox emulator? i REALLY want to play it, but i don't want to move off the xbox for emulation

Ack, that's a bummer. Kenshiro still has access to my ftp server, though i don't think he's used it since the FBA 1.29 days. BTW, i only installed this because of our conversation on X-S yesterday. good looking out, this emu is better in a lot of ways. I really wish it were easier to find complete romsets and such though. feels painful having to rebuild the collection all over again.

Sorry to see you go, moo man. Pass me the last of the work and i'll put it up on the site for everyone. I have to say, i'm pretty bummed right now, but i can't blame you. much luck in your further adventures

lmao, i do own the real thing, 26 diferent systems and hundreds of games as a matter of fact, just sometimes the blur-vision is annoying on bigger tv's and widescreens especially. I don't feel like lugging around 100 pounds of systems of games and cords and controllers when i go out of town or what-not. That's the best thing about having my xbox, i have 2 huge bins full of nothing but cords and controllers. ive messed around with filters but can't find anything worthwhile, mednafen-xnes in particular, what settings do you guys use to be asking, i've been using simple 2x, with flicker filter of 1 or 0 and point filtering. Anyways i figured it would be a good read for the people who are interested in it. I'm not too anal just sometimes it's annoying as hell. HF- I always over do the NES filtering...i go advancemame 2x, flicker filter to 0. Sometimes i'll use the 10x11 pixel size. I stay away from Widescreen resolutions.

From the FTP records, there has been no update to the beta since Jan-23-2009 If/When there is an update, the same link that kenshiro gives you all should have it, eliminating the need for PM requests for those who already have received it in the past. I'm sure that when a new build gets released, Kenshiro will let us all know in here.

Kenshiro has uploaded both the beta source and the compiled beta for testers. It is on my hosting account, at my domain name. I have no problem with people getting it from this resource, it will make things easier for every one to D/L, No public requests, please. Kenshiro knows the address and has permission to freely give it to whom he chooses. I do not want to be PM'd requests for the files at this time. If you are a regular distributor, contact Kenshiro for the url. I trust his judgment on who he'd choose to provide it to. Since he has direct upload access, the latest version will always be up there when he puts them there.

You added 128mb back in? This is what i get for being homeless for 5 months. You're actually still on my msn list, haven't been able to talk to ya yet though. Is the 128mb feature documented, or is it automatic. Much props, i stand corrected.

This topic seems pretty dead, but i wanted to chime in anyway.... So, BP has done an AMAZING job of getting an easy to use interface on one of the most complicated programs on the xbox. Out of all the emulators used, FBA-XXX Pro and this get used the most. They are simple, easy to understand, and they work. I have MameOx 128 on all my machines because i have a 128mb ram upgrade on both. I keep it on there because BP said a year ago that he didn't think it was an option worth keeping. I argued my point on this, but he went forward with that mentality anyway....that it's "bloat" because "most" people don't use it. I never had much success with MameOX 128. Most of the roms i had with it were missing files, and no one ever released a 100% perfect working gamelist. That should have happened, a LONG time ago....every game that worked on MameOX 128 Plus with 64mb ram and 128mb ram should have been made into dats and released out to the world as a full package. I like the idea of having an emulator and romset where you KNOW everything is going to work. I like the idea of not having 20 different versions of the same game show up....so long as all the known glitches, fixes and tricks are available on the version that's included I never liked the idea of games being excluded due to someone's vision. Unplayability is a good reason to remove something, but not personal taste/choice. If there is no easy way to configure controls, get it out of there. Framerate of 5 FPS? unplayable, get it out of there, move it to a list to be fixed later. Pornographic? So What?? If it plays, it should be able to work. Lastly, options. I'm a BIG fan of options. I'd rather have the ability to adjust everything than not. However, i like that a lot of options have already been taken care of for me in CoinOps....i don't HAVE to configure custom controls to make a game playable... This doesn't mean i don't want more though....I want to replace MameOX 128 Plus completely. To do so, BP would have to add in all the options and abilities that MameOX has in the Advanced Options mode. 128mb, Screen ratio size, filtering, etc. I'm sure it would be really easy to re-add all the original options and have it as a MameOX 128 CoinOps fork.

Kenshiro - If you are interested, i think i have a solution for distribution of both latest source and a compiled emu i guess i have less than 3 posts still, but if you are interested, ping me.
