One more time it looks like very nice stuff!

Thanks for the info. Hope it will not be a problem Next time please don't send me nude pictures of you lol.

No you're absolutly right, let them zipped Install Romcenter, add your DAT with browser. Then click on file, preferences and finally the romsets panel, and select the "split" option (also take a look at reparation panel, the only option i don't personnaly use is "create fake roms"). Then you're ready to scan romsets. lol, it would be great

Hi You have to use the DATs off FBA-XXX Pro and scan your romsets with, especially your neogeo.zip ( i can see in your error message that some bios are missing)

Yes i tried it with 2 smalls games ( Photo Y2K and Puzzle star), just for fun and to see (i didn't use VMM, which is necessary to launch almost of the others games due to her size) : http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/photoy2k http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/puzlstar Works well, but both have a small amount of data, in contrary of Knights of valour for exemple. I can't assert if it can run on Xbox, but if you look at PGM hardware: http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=809 It can be compare to Neogeo MVS hardware, PGM is just slighty powerfull. Honestly i think it's possible to run it on Xbox (iq_132 what do you think about that? ), but i don't have the level to do it (maybe a day? lol).

Nice stuff guys

Last night Great Mahou Daisuken on FBA-XXX Pro, i can't stop playing this game, please help me! lol

Nearly finish CPS1 update to match MAME 0.125 Still need to verify if all works well (you can be sure that i forgot something lol).

lol Build one statue for Oopsware No i'm just a liar . Yes it's true...

Honestly i have no idea Giving a date would be a lie cause i really don't know, there's still a lot of work to do (especially on Neogeo sets) and bugs to fix One more time, i forgot a thing lol . By added Raiden i've found a bug in the UI. In fact, this one has a very long manufacturer name and makes crash the Xbox when you scroll down the game list. I fixed it

As i said you in PM, your eyes are probably ok, cause FBA-XXX Pro CPS2 code is more recent than normal version. So it's probably true Sorry to repply just now, i always forgot things lol. Oopsware ported this driver to FBA a few time ago (thanks to him ) I added that stuff to FBA-XXX Pro, this one use two Nec V30 processor instead of a 68000 : http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/raiden There's 4 sets of this game, and now FBA-XXX Pro have a new CPU core (seems work fine)

Vendetta (Asia version) on Bendermameox for me... A pretty funny game

Thunderblade is playable, DDcrew if i'm right is protected by FD1094. and need to verify for Desert Breaker Edit: Confirm that DDcrew and Desert Breaker are FD1094 encrypted games, so unplayable at the moment (iq_132 gave me advices and things to look at in order to solve this problem, thanks to him ).

Don't worry about that, they will stay in the build It isn't necessary. I mean, this games have slowdown, but not enough to be unplayable. It's only slowdowns, not low framerate every time ( we can speak about low framerate only on Galaxy Force, and even this one is still playable) I don't have a play on a Xbox MAME build for a while, but the games like Mortal Kombat was really unplayable with sound So it can't be compare Moreover, i don't have evidence that it the sound that causes this slowdown (maybe someone can confirm that? )

That's cool ! i'm waiting for you

I'm completly out of it lol. Sorry for that Seriously it works fine for me However (tell me i'm wrong), i noticed you can't access to Neogeo Macro directly in a game, in configure buttons menu, but have to go in in game menu/ controller option/ controller configuration. Can you confirm that Cospefogo? For the coin button, can you be more specific? when i changed mapping from main menu it's always work, but during a game it does not work, even after a game reboot. I have to quit the game, relaunch it and it works Do you have the same issue? Thanks

Hey Kenshiro! Thanks for your reply. The coin button bug was confirmed to me (through PM messages) by + T + himself, so it is there. And I have something more - can you please test the NEO-GEO macros? There is no way to make them work here in my FBA-XXX 1.28. I just assign the normal/default macros, but my NeoGeo games does no recognize them. What am I doing wrong? Example: A+B assigned to WHITE C+D assigned to BLACK I was playing Samurai Spirits 2 and they don't work! * * * And a suggestion: Can we have (for God's sake) a LOCK MODE OPTION for the controller settings regarding if it is ARCADE or ANALOG? For example: You go to settings and there is a option like - LOCK CONTROLLER SETTINGS: in ARCADE MODE - LOCK CONTROLLER SETTINGS: in ANALOG MODE - LOCK CONTROLLER SETTING: unlocked (BOTH MODES) Why I ask this? Everytime I have friends plying here they find a way to mess with my config options (changing from arcade to analog). I use only Hori Arcade sticks in the house or classic not-analog pads (PSX, Saturn). Well, that's it. I am happy to hear that SHINOBI is working fine now. Regards, Cospefogo. Ok i'll check that (one more thing to do lol) Thanks Cospefogo Edit: It works fine for me, i tried on Samurai Shodown 5 I'll try another game. Edit 2: To be more specific, Neogeo macros works fine, but there's a bug. Try to change macros and launch a game. Newer macros are not recognized. Then quit FBA ,go back and launch a game, and changes works now.

In reality, Out Run Hardware needs a small amount of RAM , and runs at full speed on Xbox , like others Sega hardware BTW (System16A, System16B, Space Harrier Hardware, X Board). However, Y Board is an exception: Y Board Hardware This one is more powerful than previous hardware, look at the CPU specifications In this case, the problem is not the amount of RAM, but the power of Xbox CPU . So games like G-Loc, Rail chase runs beetween ~ 45-60fps, with sometimes slowdowns to 40fps. The slower game i noticed is Galaxy Force 2, with slowdowns to 35fps. Honestly i don't if Y Board could run better with some Xbox optimisations, who knows? For Turbo Out Run, i can't test it due to that bug in FD1094 encrypted games, however Out Run is playable ( stiil need to make inputs properly)

I tried several games with Gaia but couldn't get a crash. One that I did find was Blazing Star to Action Fighter always crashed. Some other combinations - Andro Dunos > Alex Kidd Baseball Stars Pro > Outzone Double Dragon > Truxton Super Spy > Superman Ninja Combat > Rastan NAM 1975 > Battle K Road CTHD > Action Fighter All worked ok. For the crash concerning system16 drivers don't worry about that, this drivers were very preliminary (so unstable) when they were added to 1.28 , all seems ok now Well, it looks like a problem. Obviously, i never noticed a crash when launch a CPS1 or CPS2 games after a Neogeo game (i remember that it happened sometimes with 1.28, with launching a set of Punisher). BTW it is a thing of the past, cause CPS code was completly updated (and currently updated) Thanks Gavin

I'll double check, but I used to jump back and forward between Blazing Star/Pulstar on NG and DoDonPachi/ESPrade on Others without a crash. Thanks Gavin . I've found a nice one: like before, launch a neogeo game and launch Gaia crusaders. Can you try this please?

Sorry Cospefogo i forgot to reply to your post I'll ckeck for that issue. Thanks for noticed that BTW, if someone could verify the following issue it would be cool. Launch a Neogeo game and next go to "others"section and launch a game. Let me know if it make crash your Xbox. If it don't, try one more time with another "others" game Thanks

Absolutly agree with that I can confirm that. It runs like crap (FBA's CPS-3 needs ~1GHZ). Anway, kenshiro, if you need any advice/help/someone to bounce ideas around with, let me know. Thanks for that iq_132. I send you a message 2 days ago on Neosource, i don't know if you saw it I got new stuff for you Thanks again

Absolutly agree with that

Personnaly i think it isn't necessary. In fact, there's already CPX3 which works pretty well, and ported FBA code to XBOX would need a lot of optimizations. Moreover, add the incredible numbers of new FBA drivers to FBAxxx Pro is already a nightmare , i prefere concentrate the work on stuff that don't exist on XBOX ( or very preliminary), like PGM , which needs like Neogeo special optimizations

Sorry BP i think i send my message to the wrong adress. I send it to the e-mail adress you have registered on 1emulation Sorry about that.
