[ASR.DAT files for Kawaks]

From what I am putting together here, the ASR.DAT file pretty much controls what happens in the Kawaks. Now, lets say I have a rom set that varries from the ASR.DAT, but is the same game. Could I adjust the ASR.DAT to read my rom instead of the rom specified in the ASR.DAT file?

 

For instance, I have a rom of Crouching Dragon Hidden Dragon 2003. My rom is cthd2003, however kawaks asks for cthdd. I know I could rename it, but if the files in the cthd2003 differ from the files the ASR.DAT then could I just adjust the dat to read a S1 vs. a M1, or something of that sort. (my roms are at home, not here at work, so I can't give exact examples)

 

If it is possible then how can I edit the ASR.DAT? Also, what steps would I need to take. I doubt all you need to do is state the rom within the dat.

 

Secondly, I see that you also need to check CRC numbers, how can I find those?

 

Damm I hate having to ask newbie questions.

[Can some one explain M rom, P rom, S rom stuff?]

I have some files that have m1d, and a m1. What does that mean.

 

Also, could I rename a P2 to a S1 if the Kawaks rom audit tells me to look for it?

Yeah, I saw that site, unfortunately, it doesn't contain any of the newer roms ie, SvC, Kof2k3, and so on.

[Games Loading For Kawaks]

Hi Guys,

 

I am a Newbie to the Neo Geo emu arena, but not a newbie to any of the other EMU scenes. So I was wondering about a couple of things.

 

I downloaded the newest Kawaks with the Kawak loader from the link below:

http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php...?showtopic=4002

 

At the same time I downloaded some of missing roms from :

http://emu-russia.net/roms_en.php

 

The thing I noticed is that some of these roms did not work within the Kawak loader. For instance

- Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

- SvC

- SvC Plus

- King of fighters 2001 and so on

 

I read all through the forums here amd audited my roms and found out what each or the.bin or.roms needed to be named. I managed to get SvC, SvC plus working through the renaming process. However, I needed to find a whole new place to download KoF2k1 because the rom was missing either a v1-v4, or some other part.

 

I have yet been able to get Crouching Tiger to work at all, as it is missing some of the components. I tried to take out the v1-v4 from Kof2k1 rom and put that into the crouching tiger hidden dragon rom, but that got the graphics to work with garbled up graphics.

 

So I guess I was curious, since there is so many rom variances, is there a place where I could get Kawaks compatible roms. Secondly, is there a Newbie area where I could read up on what each of the rom codes mean. IE p1, p2, m1, etc.

 

Lastly, I noticed that when I audited my roms, there was errors, however the rom itself will still work. Is this something I need to worry about, or is this natural considering that Kawaks is hacked to run some of these roms?

 

Thanks for the help in advance.
