[**** CoinOPS+ ****]

landmark the only old issue some people had was a controller in port 4 or something like that try using 1 controller in port 1 and see if the issue goes away

In fact I've got an extensive setup with three 2.4 GHz receivers for wireless controllers at ports 1, 2 and 3 and an infrared dongle for the DVD remote at port 4. I was anxious to try out your recommendation - but I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the controllers.

 

Things lock up at the same point of time even if only one classic wired controller is attached to port 1.

Updated findings.

[**** CoinOPS+ ****]

No luck either. Game freezes exactly at the same point of time after loading the roms. I did two things - at first copying over the new files to /F/Games/CoinOPS and of course deleting the old directories at /E/TDATA and /E/UDATA and copying over the new ones.

 

CoinOPS did some scans (various progress bar actions) and displayed the game selection menu. After selecting one game, i got the same behaviour as in final and 2nd quarter fix and patch.

 

Then, I deleted every file and folder at /F/Games/CoinOPS except for roms and screenshots and FTP'd CoinOPS+ over again. Again the same erroneous behaviour.

 

I think my problem isn't exactly related to the CoinOPS(+) frontend, but to the emulator executed afterwards.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. BritneysPAIRS, I saw you reading my other thread yesterday. Maybe you can tell anything about my findings?

 

Thanks in advance!

are you playing it through hd component cables?

No, just plain Y/C...

 

try it at 480i/p

... because of that I can't even select any of the hd modes.

 

you say theres a lot of writing appears does it say anything about certain files missing?

No, it seems like it is loading the roms like it should. No error messages.

Browse to your Coinops install folder and check for a 'debug.log'.

I'm afraid there's no debug.log. Has it to be enabled before?

 

i would delete all and install CoinOPS_Mamedox_Final again

Well, as long as installing refers to copying the CoinOPS folder to /F/Games and the contents of its 'save' subfolder to /E/, i did so four times now. Of course I deleted the folders before. I seriously doubt that the error is related to some files being copied incorrectly.

 

Are there any other restrictions? I'm running xmbc SVN rev 10070, PAL screen resolution (720*576) and Dolby EX sound output - just in case that this should matter.

would recommend maybe doing a clean install

I already did so. I cleaned the 4d414d44 subfolders in UDATA and TDATA, too. No avail.

 

Is there some logfile I could look into and post from?

[CoinOPS: Games won't start at all]

was it the standalone version of coinops you downloaded or the whole package which included all the roms?

It's the full package. CoinOPS_Mamedox_Final was downloaded from the el_diablo post at a.b.g.x., 2nd quarter patch and fix from via the appropriate torrents.

Hi there,

 

this happens with the 'pure' CoinOPS Final as well as with the 2nd quarter patch and fix applied:

 

I can launch the CoinOPS menu system, browse through the games with no problems at all. Then I do start a game. I get a black screen with white text showing "loading - please wait", then a blue progress bar is displayed. For less than a second, rom file names are displayed above that bar. Then, the text changes to "please wait" (progress bar is still visible) and my xbox freezes. Only way is to shut down and restart. Several other commercial games and homebrews do run flawlessly.

 

Any hints? Thanks in advance!
