  1. It's the first time I hear this. Maybe you have a lot of scratches on your CD, or dirty fingerprints to remove. Agozer it's NOT emulated , XBOX has its own version
  2. Bp is realizing your dream for the final
  3. Some roms are merged, the parent zip is merged with a clone in a zip with the clone's name. It was sometimes necessary because some original games were not working. You'd better wait for BP's full release because this is a long work done manually. examples cps2 fighters games use a USA clone because the Euro parent is not working. Same for armored warriors (armwaru instead of armwar). Gigasb is a clone of gigas (non working) ...
  4. Oops the last game to fix: Terminator 2 (with sound) - midyunit.c Lightgun X Key/Joy Speed 25 Lightgun X Sensitivity 15 Lightgun Y Key/Joy Speed 25 Lightgun Y Sensitivity 15 Because of my daughter's holliday i didn't have time to restart all my tests, but for 480p: cyvern 4 21 65535 vmetal 4 11 65535 dariusg 4 46 65535 warriorb 4 56 65535 If you're in a hurry sorry I can't test all the games in 480p this week. I won't rewrite the vm but just place the values up. I can retest all the games only next week. (Anyway I'll rewrite the vm for a personnal use later as I started to test a lot of different values, and will submit it to you even if you've already released Ignite, to try it on different Xboxes). A small advice: whatever the settings for gunbird 2, it's better when this game is a first game launched. When testing a lot of games the cache mem gets full, and from time to time it's cool to refresh the xbox by rebooting to free some RAM. (whatever the mame used)
  5. Yes unfortunately, the problem is still the same in the latest mame versions (segasaturn=gale racer)
  6. after changing my rom path using hidden settings now i have the following problem: now no matter what i do it wont load a rom saying rom files are missing? I have checked the zip files all roms are there, i've run rom centre and it shows all rom zips as green. tried fresh install remembering to delete/replace UDATA and TDATA babe004 folders, tried re-copying all my roms tried using roms zips that I know definately worked in the past, no matter what I do error roms missing. The roms are there I don't know how this is still happening after fresh installs etc.. This happened after using browse to folder in hidden settings, now my copy of coinops final won't work. If this feature is something that is causing people more trouble than its worth I say remove it. Sadly im considering using my pc as my mame emulator I can't see a way to fix this When you tried the fresh install, are you really sure that ONLY mameox.ini was in e:\TDATA\babe0004\system ?
  7. Read the main menu: Buttons and Features / Advanced ingame controls, and you'll get it !!
  8. OK, I stop redoing the vm.txt for 480p. I had many cool improvements (more than 1 mn better time loading for gunbird 2 or other big games) but i push the RAM to its limits and I'm afraid because we don't all have the same softmod or modship, so not the same RAM available. I'll keep the actual values, and redo only those for "Malloc Fail" games. I suppose the vm was made by guys often testing with 4 ... 65535. It's really possible to set with 8 ... 65535 and sometimes more (gunbird2 52 8 65535 is really faster when lauching because it distributes the memory blocks differently, for the same results ingame but 0 meg free). So I won't write those values in vm.txt. Thanks again BP for CoinOps ! I really have pleasure to use it.
  9. ddsom revision 1 is a clone! i don't know which vm.txt you are using. ddsom & his clones appear in both 480p & 720p vm.txt. moo & arabfgt appear in vmHiDef with the values 4 48 65565. In 480p no vm values were needed for those games before the final beta appeared, using a little more ram (the public beta). No more values are needed today in what is closed to the "final Final".
  10. Obviously... but i want to do a new full romset compilation and i can't. in your babe save, erase everything except mameox.ini. then relaunch. It wil refresh the games list: "Welcome to Coinops" etc, etc...
  11. 1 moo.zip & ddsom.zip but i can't find any problem. What chipmod or softmod are you using Darknior ? (maybe it has a consequence on your RAM) Or BP it was maybe due to the "35 kb" (this problem is over now).
  12. the roms and screenshoys you have for gold will work fine on ignite just delete the gold folders apart from screeenshots and roms,then transfer ignite over. As i'm rewriting the vm for 480p, outfoxies is of the games which will run slightly better (less hdd access but not that less).
  13. Haven't you tried CoinOPS IGNITE ?
  14. - SF added - 720p fully usable - Removed unused players 5-8 configs= more ram ingame - 90° rotated vertical schmups with rotated key for playing horizontally Coinops Ignite is my choice.
  15. No it won't ! The driver included doesn't allow it and the game is slow enough without it !
  16. Growing up ? Hmm, a long time ago. I played Shinobi a lot in the arcades, and when outun was released I got mad (in those times car games didn't have a lot of graphics elements, outrun brought a lot to the genre). I loved Ghosts & Goblins, Commando, Grysor (Contra) on Amstrad CPC, Giana Sister, Hybris, Shadow of the Beast, Battle Squadron on Amiga 500. Then I finished growing up, but continued to love a lot of games.
  17. Give me 10mn, the time to upload a default CFG with BACK+Y configurated. From this you'll remap it the way you want !! Link by PM !
  18. hmmm. Is your skin in fullscreen in 720p ? If it's the case no problem ! The skins for 480p and 720p are the same. 720p has been resized to get the sames results as 480p. (before that the skin was in a small window on top left of the screen). When you rebuilt your beta, did you replace the skin folder with the new one ? (2 skins included)
  19. disable the sound lockout in the menu. It won't change anything.
  20. It's just normal because the driver was an earlier development.
  21. !!!!! This was done for Ignite Standalone, Update to R2 soon) !!!!! "Gamepad Defaults Can Be Remapped" Enabled in settings allows to remap some ingame functions. This will be important for advanced users. THROTTLE. Throttle disabling is useful for games running at 57fps, 59fps, 58fps(cave), 61fps (namco). Enter the ingame menu, "remap gamepad", and map one or several keys as THROTTLE. (You can map your THROTTLE as back+X+B ) Example: If you think Dodonpachi (58 fps) isn't that smooth, call the THROTTLE function by pressing the keys remapped. THROTTLE will be disabled (because enabled by default) This will force the game to run at 60 fps (60/58 fps): a small speedup but a smoother animation. Throttle can also be used for 55 fps games (Midnight Resistance...) but the sound can glitch a bit (speedup). Some older 61 fps Namco games are smooth with THROTTLE disabled and Frameskip 0 (Rolling thunder 1,2...) If you want to know what the original framerate is for the games, press BACK+BLACK (default setting) CPU OVERCLOCK. This can be very useful for some games with slowdowns. To call the function press BACK+RIGHT THUMB, (the sound volume setting appears) Go up or down a few times and check the CPU0, CPU1... overclock settings. Examples (for 480p) -BioMechanical toys has small slowdowns, Set the CPU0 to 125% = smooth animation. -Double Dragon (original beat'em up) runs slowly: set the CPU0 and CPU1 to 150% = nice speed. Don't overclock the games that can't reach their original framerate (ex: 52/60 fps, 36/57 fps), the emu will be slower. Overclock only the games running at full framerate ! Biomechanical toys runs at 60/60 fps and Double Dragon runs at 57/57 fps, so the values for CPU can have a higher setting. We can also decrease the values: -To get a better anim in Darius Gaiden (or some other Taito), keep CPU0 at 100%, and set the CPU1 (sound CPU) to 50%. CONFIGS A member wanted a config for CPS2 games (some Capcom games use LPunch+MPunch+HPunch, same for Kicks) If for example LPunch=LTrigger, MPunch=X, HPunch=Y and you want a shortcut for furies on WHITE BUTTON then "remap the game" this way: P1 Button 1 = J1_LTrigger or J1_White P1 Button 2 = J1_X or J1_White P1 Button 3 = J1_Y or J1_White Pressing White will call the 3 Punch Buttons ! FAST FORWARD Sometimes it's boring to wait for a long time when a game is launched: memory tests, rom/ram tests, etc... I personally use a fast forward function: just change the frameskip ingame. My default Frameskip is AUTO. I have remapped Frameskip Dec as L_Trigger R_Trigger X (FS decrease: Auto - 11 - 10 - 9 ... 3 - 2 - 1 - 0 - Auto ...) and Frameskip Inc as L_Trigger R_trigger Y (FS increase: Auto - 0 - 1 - 2 - 3 ... 9 - 10 - 11 - Auto ...) When a game is just launched I Press LTrigger+RTrigger+X to run the game very fast (Frameskip 11). To return to Frameskip Auto (normal speed) when the arcade tests are finished I Press LTrigger+RTrigger+Y. This way I don't wait for the long rom/ram tests. (Just press the keys one time, or you can get lost as the Frameskip value isn't shown anymore ingame). SERVICE MODES Some players like to have a Freeplay (no coin) or an easy setting for the games, but no DIP switches ? All the games have a service mode NEOGEO, CPS1, CPS2, SEGA, MIDWAY, CAVE, NAMCO. Remapping function in "Remap This Game" will help. NEOGEO: Just remap the TEST SWITCH with the keys you want, and press thoses keys ingame: entering service mode. CPS1 & CPS2: Just remap the SERVICE MODE for the same results. SEGA 32: (outrunner, Golden Axe2, Arabian Fight, Spiderman...) Remap the SERVICE MODE and the SERVICE 1: SERVICE MODE will enter the settings and valid a choice SERVICE 1 will allow to switch between the different options. MIDWAY: Remap the TEST (or use the option: ingame menu/game settings/Test Switch ON/OFF). NAMCO: Remap the SERVICE MODE (or use the option similar to Midway's). CAVE: (Esprade, DoDonpachi) Remap the SERVICE MODE and press the keys during 2 or 3 seconds. Be careful ! Sometimes with some manufacturers you must reset the game (LTrigger+RTrigger+BACK) after you pressed the service keys to be able to enter the arcade settings ! ! ! PS: it's unfortunate but set the biggest schumps to EASY to get less bullets on screen and limit the slowdowns SOUND QUALITY it's really better to set a low quality sound for old games with fm sound, as it could irritate in CD quality. ... depending on one's appreciation, and what is used at home for listening. GUN GAMES Playing a lightgun game like Lethal Enforcers 2 with the pad can be hard because we must reload by shooting outside the screen. For this kind of games, enter the cheat menu and available the unlimited ammo setting. Same for Underfire. The crosshair isn't shown ingame but it's playable with unlimited ammo as we can see where we've just shot. Disable the Crosshair (BACK+LEFT THUMB) will help in Beast Busters. MULTI SCREENS GAMES (Darius 1, Darius 2, The Ninjawarriors, Warrior Blade) Disable the Widescreen setting for horizontal Games, and the games will play at fullscreen. 16/9 users will get the best results. Purists can also set a special "screensize adjustment" to get a suitable aspect ratio.
  22. I don't think anything must be added now, all the features allow the best game experience !!! As i told you, you eat less ram than mameox128 ! You're offically the best !!! If you've changed something from FINAL BETA, I'll msn you to get the very last build and will rewrite 480p vm to suit perfectly with it !! Time for a big cleanup of the vm. (I've seen darius gaiden with too big vm values and can change it, like outrunners. I'll need a big week for that).
  23. I don't understand the question. If you use the final beta, allow the advanced settings, enter the second page of option and just enable the VIDEO 720p option. it switches to 720p skin automatically.
  24. I don't understand ! it works fine here in 480p or 720p !!!! Something at your place eats ram. or have you enabled the Virtal Memory Manager ? (disable it) !
