Vagabond

September 20, 2004

I saw it. A horrible, boring movie with a few moments that make you smile. It would be a much more enjoyable movie if they had compressed it into 5 or 10 minutes.

The film starts off in your typical "Mystery" fashion, an event, reguarding the dissappearance of a scientist, that leaves you in wonder as to what happened. Also one of the many lame plot twists within this movie. If you can encompass your brain around a STUPID plot twist every 5 minutes, this is your movie. The twists weren't even decent. Highly generic movie and VERY boring. I should have seen RE2 instead.

...any idea which way?

This is the first occurence of this ever happening. It's never done this before.

I feel like a noob...

For some reason, myu SVC Chaos is in "plus" mode or whatever. Plus flashes on my screen onstop and I can only choose Kyo Kusanagi as a character.

What did I do wrong again?

more info for that version:

[ 2 ] 4 player support for following games:

- Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter (all clones)
- Marvel Vs. Capcom (all clones)
- X-men Vs. Street Fighter (all clones)

Notes:

* You *could* join the 4 player versions of above games using
the official build, but the game will desync immediately.
All other games will play fine with the official build.

* Normal mode recordings must be played on normal mode and
4 player mode recordings must be played on 4 player mode.
Failing to do so will cause desync while replaying the
movie. However, if you load the replay file before any
game is loaded, it will load the correct mode.

--- How the 4 player mode works ---

If there are 4 players playing the game, P1 and P2 control left side
characters, and P3 and P4 control right side characters. Basically,
it's (P1 and P2 vs. P3 and P4). On the selection screen, only P1 is
allowed to select the first character, and then P2 selects the 2nd
character. Same goes for the right side players (P3 and then P4).
The match will start off as P1 vs. P3 until they decide to switch
with their teammate. Players cannot control the character while it's
not their turn, so they must wait for their turn.

--- Rules for 4 player support ---

* 4 player support for above games are available for both
off-line and on-line mode.

* Rules for off-line mode:

- Requires two players to play against CPU.
- Requires four players to play against each other.

* Rules for on-line mode:

- 1 player at start ---> p1 vs. CPU
- 2 players at start --> p1 & p2 vs. CPU
- 3 players at start --> p1 & p2 vs. p3
- 4 players at start --> p1 & p2 vs. p3 & p4

* Rules for on-line mode when someone gets dropped/disconnected:

- p1 dropped ----------> no longer a netplay, Duh!

- -------------+----------------------+--------------------
Started with | Dropped/Disconnected | Rule
-------------+----------------------+--------------------
2 players | p2 | p1 vs. CPU
3 players | p2 | p1 vs. p3
3 players | p3 | p1 & p2 vs. CPU
3 players | p2 & p3 | p1 vs. CPU
4 players | p2 | p1 vs. p3 & p4
4 players | p3 | p1 & p2 vs. p4
4 players | p4 | p1 & p2 vs. p3
4 players | p2 & p3 | p1 vs. p4
4 players | p2 & p4 | p1 vs. p3
4 players | p3 & p4 | p1 & p2 vs. CPU
4 players | p2 & p3 & p4 | p1 vs. CPU
-------------+----------------------+--------------------

--- Bugs regarding to the 4 player mode ---

* In Marvel Vs. Capcom 4 player mode, player 2 has the control
in the beginning, not player 1. Therefore, player 2 has to
input coins and press start. After the character selection
screen appears, things will be normal. However, if you wait
until the intro ends (after attract mode is started), player 1
has the control first (which is the way it should be). The RAM
monitoring for supporting 4 player mode is based on MAME32k.
I wasn't able to test this on mame32k, so I don't know if same
thing happens on MAME32k or not.

* When you generate Romcenter/ClrMamePro dat files, you will
notice that the 4 player version of above games are listed as
seperate set of roms. Due to the Game driver structure, it was
either making them listed as seperate roms, or making them use
same file names for the game cfg file. Since switching between
the normal and 4 player mode could screw up input setting, I
made it to use different file names, and therefore, listed as
new set of roms in the dat file. The 4 player versions, however,
use same roms as normal versions since these are not a rom hacks,
but input hacks. Therefore, their status will be same as your
normal romset status.

I used to have this hack of FBA called FBACombo. This added feature was never used in an official build but it looks tantalizing, and worthy of being in FBAx, as it sounds very, very interesting. Here's a snippet of the changed source from the compiled FBAC version:

With this information, could a new version of FBAx or FBA-xxx be compiled that allowed 4 player MvC?

March 7, 2004

I can confirm that Tetris Worlds and Mechassault work nice like a mofo on 56K

There is NO problem. it is like I have Broadband or something!! EXCELLENT WORK DUDE!

I Will be buying Unreal Champ in a few days. Do you know any other games that play this well?

BTW Thanks again, this rocks.

February 24, 2004

You all are so lucky. I can't even get FBAx to run on my Xbox :angry:

February 19, 2004

I have a free 500MB webspace/5GB bandwidth server from one&one and I'd be happy to help with downloads in any way I can

February 19, 2004

segavagabond@msn.com <- !!! And also where can I find the needed bin (pmame.bin was it)?

What would be the involved risk of hex editing all the CRCs in the FBAx compile to all zeros?

February 18, 2004

February 17, 2004

Where can I download just the Kawaks dev version besides newsgroups (My ISP does not have one)

February 16, 2004

I am having problems running it in the hacked Mame32K provided. It appears to load as usual but I get the following errors:

271-s1.bin NOT FOUND

ng-lo.rom WRONG LENGTH (expected: 00010000 found: 00020000)

ng-lo.rom WRONG CRC (expected: e09e253c found: 5a86cff2)

does anyone have info on how to fix these errors to begin game play? I have a 271-s1.rom but not.bin

February 10, 2004

<a href='Blah

Get the 51 meg file (its the picture with Ash)

Get the text file (this fixes the text when you play the game)

January 11, 2004

The best game on the '64, sadly to say, does not work in PJ64 or UHLE, and works but is generally unplayable (very messed up GFX and very slow) in 1964.

now we have to wait on the best the 64 had to offer: PokeMon Puzzle League

January 10, 2004

What's with the Mina love here? She is easily killed thganks to the LayDown attack and she cannot touch Poppy.

KOF2003 is not released yet, as I have searched everywhere and the official status of the 2 or so groups that have the roms is "No, it is not released, do not Download links to the ROM, as it is not the ROM".

January 10, 2004

try right click -> save as

If that doesn't work, get a Download Accelerator (I reccomend GetRight) and make multiple connections to the file.

January 9, 2004

:/ now, I gotta have 3 Kawaks to play Garoup.zip and KOF99. :rolleyes:

January 8, 2004

Right now I am trying to balance 2 Kawa-X's on my Xbox just to run all my favorite games. It is not working out. FBAx runs all games as long as you write the appropiate driver, correct? So why is FBAx not so popular around here? Are the drivers that difficult to write? Is there something else besides the drivers?

I ask this because it would be convieniant to run all my Arcade games from one source, so why is the FBAx program so mulled over?

January 3, 2004

Oh, then some people need to start a project to hack into MAMEoX then

January 3, 2004

Nevermind. Damn good emu!!!

January 3, 2004

They're working as much as they can on it. They have lives outside of MAMEoX and they have only one guy working on VMM at the moment (Only one with enough info to work on it).

MAMEoX source is available if you wanna work on VMM or know anyone with expirience in C who could work on VMM

January 2, 2004

Hello, I suffered the same problem and the solution is sucky yet simple.

***Warning*** It will most probally flock ur crap up!

And erase all configs you had in Kawa-x

FTP into your Xbox

Fo into drive E

Go into folder TDATA

there should be a folder '0000fa7e'

delete the folder '0000fa7e'

It is the folder where Kawa-x saves your rom info. There is (I suppose) a glitch or bug causing toe black screen.

you may then restart Kawa-X and enjoy. thank me later.
