  1. 1080i skins for FBAXXX Pro.

    Fonts are a bit small (size 18).

    The best i could find and im not making any.

    No.

    Producing the font.xpr files for xbox apps means installing other software that i dont have installed/use anymore. Im not actively working with anyone on any projects so have no need or inclination to install new software. The font was borrowed from another emulator and is only size 18. The largest i could find off hand. The 1080i skin needs probably size 22 at least.

    I did briefly browse a "XBMC" page relating to .xpr tools for XBMC. If you wish to persue it yourself (which you should) im sure they have a tool and links to the stuff required. They will, no doubt, have a tutorial too.

    Dont be daunted. Its not hard. Its a case of how bad do you want to fix it !

  2. Yes quite true, its not a big job BUT. Try just using XBMC in 1080i. Things tend to start getting sluggish. I only built those 1080 skins cause of 1stmoon's inabillity to display 720p. I think we ought to make do with 720p and be happy at that.

  3. It really does make a difference which TV is used i totally agree. One set of settings that work on a particular TV set don't necessarily work on all. Its a case of the end users own trial and error to find the settings that look comfortable to them. Of course the settings need to also take into account the TV's capabilities.

     

    Damn it just noticed im not dead anymore ! Who gave me the kiss of life ?

    Hope you don't have a beard !

  4. I don't use filters either, I might if I was displaying on an LCD.

     

    My main TV is a 37" HD LCD (1080p 1080i 720p 576i 480p 480i). All games look very good without lots of filtering. Obviously i set the aspect ratio of a particular rom with the emulator screen adjust. Otherwise the games look very stretched n nasty. I am going to play with the filters tonight though. I tried the scanlines filter to test for neoryu and that looked awfull. However each to their own i suppose and thats how it should be.

  5. @cba.gy: I use these settings below:

     

    Video settings: 720P

    Hardware filter: Anisotropic (sometimes Linear)

    Software filter: Scanlines 75%

    Flicker Filter: off

     

    Audio settings:

    PCM interpolation: ON

    FM interpolation: ON

    Sample Rate: 44100khz (will try 48000khz)

     

    All CPS1/CPS2 games run perfect (after the initial black screen). All the NeoGeo games that works run perfect. Try these settings out with Guwange and see if things are OK for you. Play a few medium or large-sized NeoGeo games and then run Guwange with those settings.

     

     

    Right i tried those settings playing a few large NEOGEO roms first then launched Guwange. I still had the game work except some graphics missing. The intro had lots of graphics missing. The hero couldnt be seen onscreen just his bullets. Returned to my settings and then re-launched rom with no problems.

     

    I dont tend to mess with filters, the audio filters make lots of games crackle like hell. I use standard audio with nothing swithched on @ 22050. Video @ 720p Hardware filter = Linear. No software filter and Flicker Filter = 1. Thats totally it. Adding too many filters needs resources no matter how quick or small the filter, it still has to be maintained ! Thats the way i see it anyway. Im sure someone else with have a differing opinion !

  6. new version of FBAXXX Pro has the ability to hide clones i think :huh:

    But i agree with The_Ice_Man. Just delete the clones. I only use Euro parent roms, cause thats all i need unless a rom doesnt work or other reasons.

  7. As promised i have reworked some of my skins. Ive re-built them from scratch as i deleted all

    of the graphics i made by accident in a hdd swap. The skins have been reworked to allow for

    more rom space and truncated names.

    The CAB skin comes in two flavours - HD and SD (Standard Definition).

    I built another i called NXE. Its for HD only and although its nothing like MS NXE i couldnt think of

    anything shorter to call it so there you go. A few pics of the HD versions below. Blurry i know.

     

    This is the CAB version in HD. SD looks just the same.

    And this is the NXE version. HD only.

  8. Well i have to agree with all the points in BP's first post, down to the letter. I also agree with The_Ice_Man's first post. I still have both emulator's on my xboxes. CoinOps plays more of the old school games which i love the most if im honest but FBA plays fighting games great. CoinOps for me suffers with options which i just dont use, like The_Ice_Man said, coloured rom status, sort by and other options. I just disable these optons. I have my roms in CoinOps sorted by name. The favourites colour status i use to highlight my LightGun games only. This serves to highlight them for the kids and the wife. In a way its not a case of CoinOps vs FBA as i use them both for different reasons as i suppose most users do.

  9. Its hard to believe people prefered a standalone emulator. I would have voted for the xbmc style build myself as it has much more scope for adding other stuff (emulators etc). Plus it seems far more up to date with its previews and navigation. The build you have is it stable ? And what sort of changes (if any) would you be implimenting. I understand you will start a new thread but a few teaser comments / descriptions wouldnt hurt.
