Hi,
Am trying to add the mame history.dat so I can check the mame history for roms. I tried putting this in the emulator main folder but this didn't work.
Can anyone help?
its ok just figured it out lol sorry guys
-
Woaw ... Excelent ... i never see it before lol
And it come in 2004 lol ... so stupid ...
I really love XBOX ... very sad to see today it is near death and nobody continue to code on it ...
The WII is the new eden for coders but playing with wiimote is really bad ...
And the console is not powerfull ... i really not understand
don't despair darknoir! The xbox isn't dead yet. I reccommend you download and install NAVI-X then check out the ANIMEFREAKS television show feed. That should cheer you up
Plus the xbox aint dead yet. As long as ppl like playing the old console games and the old xbox games the xbox will live on!

Thanks for this

hey all
just got into xbox tinkering to spend my xmas holidays, anyway it's a lot of fun
what's the favourite and least favourite thing about the OOTB xbox, and a modded xbox normal xbox: the greenness i love, but the needing a remote for dvds is rubbish
modded: xbmc and playing dvds/streaming stuff
and my least fav is finding the appropiate 'resources' for it since most of the sites are now dead or amalgamated lolanyway, have a great day all
well I like the dashboard layout on the ootb xbox, but the best thing about a modded xbox is that the sky is the limit (under a 64mb RAM "universe") microsoft unwittingly created a boon for the hacker and look what has been achieved! it really is amazing. A cheap mediacentre with a ton of options!

cheers dude
will have to try dungeons and dragons now, I used to like the cartoon so should be good -
We had a Double Dragon at a arcade my brothers and I used to go to in Indiana. Cement floors.... jukebox usually playing. Kids smoking cigarettes. Those were the days.... before Big Brother took charge of everything. Now adults can't even smoke in bars and god help you if your in prison in California because a contraband pack of smokes will set you back nearly 400 bucks.
Can't remember how me and this dude Chris figured it out, but we had this method of getting free credits on Double Dragon. When we'd put our quarters in the game, we'd start beating the hell out of the coin box and the quarter must have bounced around or something because sometimes we could get 6 credits for one quarter. Got so good at the game that summer that I could beat it on one quarter, so I could stand in front of that damn thing for 4 hours off of a buck easy.
hehe ingenious! I like it. Yeh shame about the downfall of arcades and the increasing power of "the man." Rage against the machine had the right idea! best number one over!!! lol

It has adapters wired into it, a USB connection and a Xbox connection. I have model 1 so i cant tell you about the other models
im presuming they come ready to plug in aswell. The recoil feature works independantly of the emulator. You can have it recoil all the time. I only use recoil for calibrating as its neccessary really. But for gaming i switch it off as its f****** annoying
"clunk" "clunk", trust me, you'll see.
hmm I would love one of these guns, will give me something to look for on ebay so bonus
-
Defiantly mortal combat. hanging out in the 711.
TMNT. spent many a coin on this one.
i used to play area 51 but i dont have a light gun (and maybe its not even emulated. havnt checked).
good games, I preferred timecrisis and house of the dead to area 51, just liked the recoil and the gore better I think!!

My local market, the Matty St Dairy, had two arcade machines in the back: POW and something that looked like Galaxian I think but it looked like it had been on fire. When I was 9 I lived two blocks away and I would dig into the couch cushions for change, turn in what I found for quarters from the counter and then stand on a stepstool to play. I had an NES at home but I couldn't get enough of that machine.
Then there was a pizza shop with a real Donkey Kong machine. I had Donkey Kong Classics for NES but never really enjoyed it, but the real machine adds another layer when a life actually costs money. Plus, its a lot tougher in arcade form.
In the 90's Turtles in Time was THE game to play. That and Simpsons. Four player beat'em ups have never been better.
After that I think I moved on to SNES and N64 and didn't frequent arcades too much. It wasn't until my adult life that I had the bug to MAME a cab. And now I live with someone who lets me keep an arcade machine in the livingroom. Not sure how that happened but I don't question it...
lol the cab dreams are realised!! nice.
I forgot to mention tmnt and simpsons, I played both briefly (at the airport before a holiday) and was blown away, would have loved more of a go on these in the day. On my to-do list in the world or emulation!
-
Astro Blaster, Galaga, Outrun, Salamander and Nemesis.
Hours n hours on all of these.
old skool, have you ever played the R-Type series?

My father used to have an upstairs games room in his cafe that would hold about 5 uprights 1/2 pinball machines and a pool table. it used to be the hangout for the teenagers in my town and it was great as id get cheeky credits and get to play all his jamma games before anyone else. he wouldnt change the game that often - but when something really good came out he would get it (this is pre-dedicated only years)
Galaxian - just a great shooter HAS to be played on a cab to be appreciated - i still have his 1978 galaxian cab that i has partially restored and has coinops vert running in it (90% done)
Stratovox Cocktail - i have very very fond memories of this game and i have never played a decent emulation of this game. The alien ships come down and grab humans from the side of the screen and they say "help me" in a great 8-bit style speech and "thank you" when you save them - still got this cocktail and original space invaders taito cocktail in storage too - they will come out at some point.
1942 - i have never met anyone that doesnt / didnt love this topdown shooter
Outzone - another great topdown shooter that was hard hard hard!
TMNT- just a brilliant brilliant hack and slash that was about when the first wave of turtle mania was about - spent loadsssss 20p's on this
Various versions of street fighter 2 - again this is where my 1v1 mastery has evolved from. He had various versions starting with sf2ce and also had a dedicated xmen children of the atom (which was ok)
Tetris - again another classic people have played a million times but sitting at a cab and playing for ages at 10p a go was time wasting bliss
there were loads more but these are probably the most memorable as i got to play them loads - and i got to own most of them as well as inheritance
. building xbox cabs keeps the memories going when arcades where full of games and not gamblers and massive driving toot.Wow man, you had th best dad EVER! Any you still own those cabs too! man I must say I am slightly jealous!

Hey all,
I am interested to know which games you played in the arcade that are now emulated on xbox, and also the ones which aren't.
I used to love punching sonic blast man, but that won't be emulated unless someone makes a punch bag xbox. Great when you are a teenager and you wanna find your limits and each month you get a little stronger.
Outrun and turbo outrun: I played outrun and turbo outrun in a hotel I used to stay at in scotland. I loved the wheel and the pedals on the bottom of the machine (you had to stand on the one I used) but could never get very far. I thought the graphic of the car flipping was amazing!
Thunderhoop: Played this in the south of france (the same trip I met my first hot girlfriend) I loved the intro but couldn't get very far on this. I think it was set to hard. I resorted to saying the machine wasn't accepting my francs so they would open it up and click the coin slot from the inside to give me some free goes. Until they realised I was lying and a huge french bloke scared the hell out of me chucking me out of the bar and yelling incomprehensible obscenities.
Double Dragon: Used to play this in the rugby club bar when I was about 10-13 (so thats 1993-1996?) I just loved beating the shit out of ppl on that game! At the time the graphics were good and the gameplay compelling. My dad lost many a 50p to that game! And it was 3 goes for a quid, marvellous!
Various scrolling flying shooters: I think the one I used to play in the leisure centre cafeteria was 19XX (loopmaster?) but I can't be sure it was so long ago. I loved that game so much colour and activity and firing those massive weapons gave a real sense of power! why could I never get very far in these games!!!!!
Aliens: Can't remember which one I just remember it was either 1 or 2 and you got a "MASSIVE" gun to shoot the shit out of those damn acidic aliens. I will never forget the level where you come across the core/reactor of the ship humming in the background of the level. I thought what the hell and shot it to shit, BOOM, KABLAM the reactor goes critical and a message informs you that you have crippled the ship. Im not sure if this affects anything but I remember thinking that was the first time I could realisticly affect the background in a game I was playing. Fantastic!
Anyhow hopefully that got this thread started, lets pass the time reminiscing for a while. Maybe some games you haven't tried will be mentioned and we can give them a shot on the xbox? What did you play? what were YOUR games?
-
Hi, been looking at the gun you guys are talking about. Does it come with multiple (including xbox) adapters as standard or do you have to request a gun with the correct plug to match the system you use?
Also does the recoil feature work in mame games? Does it recoil every time you press the trigger or does the emu tell the gun to recoil?
Looks like a nice gun im thinking about getting one.... aaah (to digress) if only time crisis or house of the dead would work in mame. That would be recreating my arcade experiences. I used to complete house of the dead regularly playing 2 players on my own, a gun in each hand. I used to complete it on £4 (4 creds) on average and sometimes would draw a little crowd. Fond memories... i'd forgotten about that till I saw this thread

I'm not sure what you mean there man.
What are you having problems with? I could probably help you. Are you trying to make a pack of screenshots for the Xtras?
yeah, someone said on here that you can use the dat to run the screenshots through clrmame and it will rename all the files to match the roms. I can't find out how to do this tho. Have tried using the help and googling but no luck.
I just cut and pasted the whole screenshot pack that I downloaded (with more screenshots for roms that aren't supported yet still in there) and that worked for me.
If you or anyone else can help me figure out how to audit the roms properly then am glad to help.
-
Sorry RESX I can't figure out how to use the dats to sort out the screenshots.
I just downloaded and pasted and it worked for me. I did try but failed. Anyhow it will work to add all the screenshots and also adds an element of future proofing as if more games are supported screenshots are already there.
-
ps, RESX what do you have already MAME wise?
ok i'll just do FBL tho will let you know when im done

RESX you might wanna take note in case you ever get round to adding your spicy actions to mame?
If you or anybody else works to collect them I'll definately use them if they're better than what I've got already. It probably won't be about a month and a half or more till I get to them if things go well. It would make my job easier down the road.
Yeah ok, i'll tryto figure out how to use the dats to make a set for FBL and upload it for you. FBA XXX 1.29 is pretty sorted as is coinops already so if there are any others to do just let me know.
Im happy to wait however long it'll be worth it
-
Thanks nes, that site really does have everything!
For those who want to just download, cut and paste one big zip use the torrent, for those who want to be more methodical use the above link, it breaks things down into useful sections and will not die like torrents do (at least hopefully not anyway.)
I will be adding that site to my favourites I think
Man we've made a lot of progress in a short space of time screenshot packwise, RESX you might wanna take note in case you ever get round to adding your spicy actions to mame?

Has anyone used keyboard and mouse for Winston X (the atari ST emulator)
have modded an xbox for my friend just for this emu, he loves the ATARI ST it would be great to add mouse support for arkaniod etc.
has anyone tried this, did it work, do you have pics? Im specifically interested in Winston x don't forget peeps
Just to answer my own slightly off topic addition.....
it seems that mouse and keyb are supported in winston x, if plugged into ports 2,3,4 once the emu has loaded? at least thats what I read in an old thread.
I think especially keyboard support is important for Amiga emulators, impossible to play many games otherwise!

If you want some screenshots try this torrent:
http://www.torrentdownloads.net/torrent/38...f+the+MAME+Roms
im sure it is not complete but it will definately brighten up the emptiest of screenshot packs
Enjoy

Has anyone managed to get a "proper" "full" set of screenshots for FBL compatible roms yet ?
Hi,
I found a set of "titles" on a torrent but that isn't what you are after. Its literally just the title screen of the game, still its better than nothing and covers most if not all the games in FBL.
check this site out if interested: http://www.mametitles.com/
If you find a screenshots pack let me know...
edit:
after some creative googling manage to find this:
http://www.torrentdownloads.net/torrent/38...f+the+MAME+Roms
have downloaded and it seems to be the real deal

I tried to rebuild a coinops set from a 0.135 perfect set, i used the crlmamepro's dat (R3) and after a couple of hours i obtained the new set, i scanned it (with the same R3 dat) and found quite a lot of missing roms (and even some missing set). Why did i encounter this issue? It wasn't supposed to be based on the 0.135 set? there are some older sets in the R3 dat?
Thanks a lot
google "coinops showcase torrent" and start downloading. That is the easiest way will take you a few days of constant downloading depending on your bandwidth but it will give you a complete out of the box package.
