  1. This is getting very frustrating. I could have the two games up and running in a matter of minutes, but messing around actually getting fbal to recognize the sets and call the right routines is an absolute nightmare. I would rather spend this time having my teeth pulled without anesthetic. :sad:

     

     

    As of right now, all the code is there, the sets are in the driverlists for both core and psykio, the roms are correct.

    However, they refuse to show up in the scan for the sets. No idea...

  2. Try changing the hardware tag. Games running with the "PolyGame Master" or "PolyGame Master based" hardware tag are configured to run on the psikyo.xbe so unless you've added the driver to that executable as well as the default.xbe it won't work. To force them to run in the default.xbe just change the tag to something random.

     

    For the freezing when generating DATS; check the tools/ folder. You should find a partially generated DAT file in there. If you look at the end of this file you can normally figure out which rom caused the problem and why.

    ahh. Psikyo that's the problem. Thanks! I will try to find some time to work on it today. :)

  3. Even for upgraded (128 RAM) xboxes?

     

     

    Would be nice if Lantus helps implement this into Final Burn Legends aswell, for xbox 1 users.

    The multislot stuff wouldn't work on the xbox1. Waaay to much ram usage.

     

    I suppose it could be worked out -- write the alternate cart data to the hdd, and load it as it is switched out. A real pain in the ass lol.

  4. New FB Alpha release. You can download the new version on the FB Alpha page.

  5. Groove on fight? Astra superstars? yeah I know I'm dreaming but love obscure almost forgotten fighters and this one qualifies

    Not a chance in hell on those two ever being playable on xbox.

     

    SF The movie.. Kaiser knuckle will be cool as well

    SF The movie is one i've been interested in doing. Kaiser knuckle as well, but the odds of it being playable on xbox are slim to none.

  6. being reading IQs dev whip on neosource a driver for pacland has been added to FBA any chance this game could be added to FBL 10 +T+

    not happy with how it scrolls left to right in my mame emulator maybe it will scroll better in FBL

     

    thx for adding the driver for this IQ was one of my fav games in the arcades

     

    ah memories i used to get some stick for playing this its a lassies game they all said and they were right all the lassies did play it and loads

    of em hung around the machine maybe thats why i always played it :wink:

    Thanks for reading the WIP thread. :) And I don't know about the scrolling compared to mame. I honestly spend little time actually playing games.

  7. Thank you very much for all your work ! :msnwink:

    Has Boogy Wings his sound fixed with this release ?

    Boogie Wings will not have sound in FBL until it's added to the driver in FB Alpha. There's nothing to fix.

    We're having a hell of a time getting MAME's huc6280 core to play nice with FBA. :(

  8. Wonderful news that you've been able to get some more FPS out of the M92 games. Is there any chance the optimisations could be applied to the M72 games as well? They perform slightly better so I'd think there'd be a greater chance of getting them up to full speed with just a little extra push.

    I will take a look, for sure. I have other ideas that i will try and implement there too.

    What's the current framerate of tkdensho? I ask because with VMM games it's possible to get a few more FPS by having them run in one of the separate xbe cores. The difference is not massive but every little helps. :)

    About 40 fps. I think adjusting the vmm will help more than anything.

    While you're perusing the source is there any chance you could take a look at Top Speed on the Taito Misc driver? I can't figure out why this one isn't working. It doesn't seem like it would be a memory issue considering the small size of the game.

    Sure.

  9. @iq_132: you've been adding alot mame titles to fba lately... is it your plan to eventually bring all mame titles (within reason) over to fba?

    My main goal is to port/improve things that interest me. That's why I hop around between adding to MAME, Coinops, FBA, FBL, and various other projects.

     

    also, i know you've been asked a zillion +1 times about miday titles and how you don't really care for mk games... but what about nba jam? :)

    Basketball interests me slightly less than Curling. Sorry. :S

     

    is Ninja Spirit already been ported to fba?? i know it's a irem game and i know you've been getting those ported. (edit: nevermind i see it is. :) )

    ;)

    lastly, thank you for help in arcade emulation.

    I accept payment in the form of baked goods. :)

     

    On a side note, I added the vmm routines to tkdensho. The game runs less than full speed. Probably some vmm setting tweaking can fix that or possibly ripping out the alpha blending.

  10. Okay, added some minor speed stuff to the m92 games (the most updated driver [with proper music tempo]).

    With the optimizations to the drawing routines I only managed a few fps increase in the frame rate.

     

    I'm currently working on adding idle skip routines to the games (this is somewhat time-consuming, but thankfully a lot of this is already implemented in older versions of mame). I've got a lot of idle loop skipping done on the main cpu, I think I can add it to the sound cpu with little-to-no consequence.

    With idle skipping (just the main cpu), hook (the only game I've tested so far), gets around 40fps. This drops when there's a lot of sprites on screen though.

     

    Additionally, tkdensho should only take me about 10 minutes to get hooked up to the vmm once I get around to it.

  11. Hey +T+, how far have you gotten on merging in the latest fba updates? I've made a ton of changes to the nec v30/v33/v35/v25/v20 games (m92 specifically) and am curious to how they'll run on xbox. If you could up your sources somewhere for me I'd love to take a crack at it (tonight :)).

     

    I can probably take a minute to look at angel eyes and fix that too.
