None of the ones I marked as not working work well enough for BP's cut unless he's lowering the bar to allow games that glitch. Or unless he can fix them.

Unless BP can fix any of them, most of those don't work. About 10 of them are already in Arcades. Girl games won't make the cut. Asura blade - Sword of Dynasty - Doesn't work Asura Buster - Eternal Warrior - Not included in MAME list for 0.84 or earlier. Battle k-road - Doesn't work Big fight - big trouble in the atlantic ocean - Not included in MAME list for 0.84 or earlier. Blazing Tornado - Already included in Arcades. Breakers Revenge - Listed as clone of Breakers (Is this different than Breakers?) Burning Rival - Doesn't work Cotton - Doesn't work Cotton 2 - Doesn't work Cotton Boomerang - Doesn't work D. D. Crew - Doesn't work Daraku Tenshi - The Fallen Angels - Doesn't work DJ Boy - Doesn't work Don Den Lover Vol. 1 - Foreign game (Is this worth adding?) Dragon Master - Doesn't work Dragoon Might - Doesn't work Fantasia - Girl games won't be added. Fantasia II - Girl games won't be added. Fantasy '95 - Girl games won't be added. Gaia Crusaders - Already in Arcades. Gals Panic - Girl games won't be added. Gals Panic 2 - Girl games won't be added. Gals Panic 3 - Girl games won't be added. Gals Panic 4 - Girl games won't be added. Golden Axe - The Duel - Doesn't work. Guardians - Denjin Makai II - Doesn't work Holosseum - Doesn't work. Hyper Street Fighter 2 The Anniversary Edition - Doesn't work Kaiser Knuckle - Already included in Arcades. Legend of Heroes - Not included in list for MAME .84 or earlier. Martial Champion - Doesn't work. Metamoqester - Already in Arcades. Night Slashers - Doesn't work. Power Instinct 2 - Doesn't work. Power Instinct 3 - Groove On Fight - Doesn't work. Power Instinct Legends - Supposedly already added to new version. Ring of Destruction Slammasters II - Already in Arcades. Riot City - Already in Arcades. Shadow Force - Already in Arcades. Street Fighter - Doesn't work. Street Fighter The Movie - Doesn't work. Super Visual Football European Sega Cup - Never tested myself, don't know. The Killing Blade - Doesn't work. The Legend of Silkroad - Already in Arcades. Title Fight - Doesn't work. Violence Fight - Doesn't work. WWF Wrestlemania - Doesn't work. WWF WrestleFest - Already in Arcades.

Thank you fumanchu, but I feel that I have overstepped my bounds and I feel bad about it, even to BP. This is his ground, not my own, and I have intruded on it. It is also all of yours, and I apologize for my behavior here. I will remove myself from this particular situation here. If I have any suggestions for rom fixes in the future, perhaps I will voice them on my other thread and who knows? Maybe they may get answered. There really isn't much more to fix honestly, and even if no more games were added after the last list we got the other day, there is only 80 games that still don't work that would(might) work with a fix (Doesn't show up in romcheck, Control remaps, screen problems). The other 309 that weren't added can be scanned in without any fixes if somebody else like me wanted them. It would be nice to be able to hide them after adding them then, but if that doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. Worst case scenario is that somebody could rescan without the add folder if they wanted to temporarily remove roms. Takes a lot longer than a simple GUI fix, but it's still doable. Have a good one. Thanks for your words, but this isn't my place. Sorry for being the agitator. ~Rx

Out of respect for you and fumanchu and other members of this community, I will not post here about Arcades ever again.

I figured as much. What a dick. And you go out with another incomprehensible post too. EDITED TO ADD: Can somebody please translate what the hell this guy is saying? All I got was "I'm a selfish dick"

I don't need you. I need the source. It's stupid for me to reinvent the wheel and do work on another emu that you've already done.

Does that mean that we can have your source when you deviate and go for the HD emu integrated with XBMC? Reinventing the wheel when 95% of the job is already done for me in Arcades is not a very attractive proposal. The way I figure it, there are only between 300 and 400 games left that work that are not in Arcades now. Only about 40 or so of them need remapping. Then there is a few GUI options, like being able to turn those roms off that I'd like to add. Other than that, your emulator is the perfect emu. It's really only about 3 hours work according to what you have said about how little effort it takes to implement it. You've probably spent more time telling me no than it would take to actually do it. I'm still trying to figure out why you bothered asking everyone what they'd like in the first place if you knew from the start you weren't going to add them.

I don't know how many times I have to say that BAED and HK builds suck. I don't think you understand that without somebody to remap buttons, these emulators are worthless. I really don't see the problem of adding the games and having the ability to have them turned off by default. Looks like nearly 50% of the people want A, and since it won't be in anybody's way that doesn't want it, I still can't figure out what the hangup is.

Aside from using a hex editor to change names, I wasn't aware that I could modify the .xbe. You mean that I can make my own modifications now!!!!? Please, don't take that ability out. And somebody, for the love of christ PM me and tell me how to make my own mods to the .xbe. What do you mean? I think this problem may be able to be overcome with torrentzipping the entire build, but I couldn't be sure until we tried it.

What do you mean by mods? You can just walk right into sky and get a membership. Did it myself twice in the last year or so.

Fair enough.... I guess I won't know what still needs fixing then until you release your new build then. I suppose I'll go back to testing PSX games until you get around to releasing it.

Lol, come on man. You don't spend more time explaining stuff to me than doing the mod. I only ask the most questions because I'm the person most passionate about this project that you've met. I usually am in control of things, and it's hard for me to sit on the sidelines here. I'm really not trying to make your life difficult here. I'm not really sure how I can make my questions more to the point though. My written english is just about as good as I've ever seen anywhere online, particularly this thread. I think our biggest problem here is that I only ever understand about 25% of what you post. Sorry I have to ask so many questions, but I honestly just don't understand most of your answers. From now on, I'll only ask you one question at a time, and if I need clarification, I'll ask you to reword it. Hopefully that solves our communication problems in the future.

Not really sure what any of that meant..... So you're not going to fix any of the games I mentioned to add above then? What happened to the possibility of choice A? Looks like about 30-40% of people want it.

Great list. I have all of the ones that needed fixes ready to test in my spreadsheet whenever you release it. I know I said I wouldn't post in this thread, but that was just for the "lobbying" for your question. I have a few suggestions too before your build comes out........ Good games not added yet that would need to be remapped: Arkanoid Returns - Cannot move paddle. Can we map this to the Dpad? Cloak & Dagger - Can we remap so Dpad controls your guy instead of Analog Stick. Demolition Derby - Can we remap this so the Dpad controls the car instead of the R & L Triggers? Escape from the Planet of the Robot Monsters - Can we remap so Dpad controls movement instead of Left analog stick? Free Kick - Can we fix the paddle? It doesn't move at all in Arcades. Heavyweight Champ - Can we remap movement to Dpad and figure out how to map the punching? Seems like a pretty good boxing game. Inferno - Works and you can control everything, but it's just impossible to play the way that it's mapped. It's both analog sticks like Smash TV would be, but you still have to press A to fire on top of it. Too much for one pair of hands. It would be great if maybe we could map the gun pointing stick to also press A at the same time no matter which direction it's pushed and then it might work like Smash TV did. This game is really good, despite first impressions. Krull - Can we remap direction to the Dpad instead of the Left Analog Stick? Snake Pit - Can we remap so Dpad controls movement instead of Left analog stick? The Return of Ishtar - This one is probably complex to fix and I don't know if it can actually be done. Game was definately ahead of it's time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_of_Ishtar Two Tigers - Can we remap it so Left and Right on the Dpad turn your plane and not the L & R buttons? This one was one of my favorites when I was a little kid. Games already included that I thought could stand to be remapped: Ambush - Can we fix the mapping so your ship can take off? All the ship does is ride the launchpad until your ship hits a wall. Bad Lands - Can we remap so Dpad controls direction instead of L & R buttons? Front Line - Can we remap so L & R control gun direction? It's too hard to move with left stick, change gun direction with right stick and press A to fire at the same time. Nekketsu Kauha Kunio-kun - Can we remap to reverse the X and A buttons? Would make more sense if X attacked left and A attacked right. Night Striker - Can we remap direction controls to Dpad instead of the left analog stick? Ninja Commando - I think you should be able to turn your guy. Can we try mapping gun direction to the L & R buttons? Renegade - Can we remap to reverse the X and A buttons? Would make more sense if X attacked left and A attacked right. Rampart - Can we remap movement to the Dpad instead of the Left Analog Stick? Rough Ranger - Can we remap so B is jump and A is attack like every other game? These are backwards. Splat! - Can't throw anything. I don't think the attack button is mapped. There are probably more of the original roms that I could find that would work better remapped, but I accidentally happened upon these in my testing and just randomly playing. I'll probably go over those this weekend and give you any suggestions I have. Thanks BP

Hello everyone, The dumb n00b is me... My first post here at 1e and I don't want to step on BP's toes, but I just wanted to add something to make the vote more informative. If the direction of Arcades were "A", then it is possible to make an option in the GUI to have the "rubbish" roms automatically turned off on your first load and then they would only be accessed by people who actually wanted to try them out by physically going into the options menu and turning them on. All in all they only take up .2 to .5 GB max and wouldn't even be noticed by anyone who didn't want to ever play them. The bonus of this is that any of those games that went in, no matter how primative or unenjoyable some might think they are, will all be mapped perfectly so those who wanted to play them wouldn't be stuck using the scanning feature to add a game, only to find that the game doesn't play right (ie mapping horribly off, bad name convention in the GUI, bogus category in GUI, etc.) This, I feel, would make Arcades the most versatile emulator for every demographic. It's already superior to every other MAME emulator in the scene. I've said it before, and I'll say it again.... Having the ability to choose to play every working rom on this emu or not would make this emu the tits. That's all I have to say, and I won't be posting in this thread again. Thanks for your time, and thanks to BritneysPAIRS for a fantastic emulator. ~Rx
