  1. Thank you for the reply. However it was not either of those editions. This version had no temp gauge and you could not over heat. Also when you did well for a while (assuming no crashing) the bike would flash and you would become "immune" to any crashes and go faster. Also the graphics were much better in this version. If one were to look at them (normal Nintendo version) side by side you could see a huge difference between them. I still really think it was a bootleg of some sort because the ExciteAbike name really stands out in my mind

    For a few more bucks I can get an increased memory clock but im not greedy.

    if anyone can spot on this site something I can get better than this for a little more then let me know if your bored or something

    Im deffo looking into the 400 range... Unless someone knows better for price. :)

     

    That is the exact card I have. It runs everything I throw at it beautifully -- I can run the Crysis 2 Beta at 1366x768, Hardcore settings, at a pretty constant 50+fps.

    A few downsides -- the fan is loud as hell and it heats up pretty quick (though the temps don't seem to bother it, it freaks me out a bit).

     

    The card overclocks beautifully though, not that it is necessary.

     

    Btw my cpu is only a 2.8 c2d, 4gb of ram, 64-bit win7.

     

    This is the card for me then, on the day when I make the trip to the store if they are out of stock I will just get anything as close to it as I can if thats higher or slightly lower..

    My 8800GS fan is pretty loud sometimes when I start up my rig it just whirls it's testicles off for no apparent reason, I do have under floor heating though but it has never been an issue in the past, I cant wait to get this sucker!!!

    I have a dual core athalon kicking in at 3.2 and only two gigs of ram, I may need to buy a power supply unit as I think i only have a 4 pinned socket for my card...

     

    Two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors are needed, god dam it!!!

    Im not entirely sure whats floating about in my case but Ill check it out as soon as I get a date for my money next week, Plus it says need dual PCI space for the card (it must be a fatty) Im pretty sure I have that,

    Not sure if it will fit??

    It is a fairly wide card -- definitely going to need the second slot (my mobo/tower is set up for a 2x slot card), and fairly long (it nearly rests on my ram module). The Palit cards are shorter than pretty much any other 460 card though.

    Seriously a beast of a card. There hasn't been too much that I've thrown at it that even makes it stutter... as long as you don't expect a crazy high resolution.

  4. Just some advice in the future, always check reviews and comparison charts when buying cpu/gpu. Like you said, the companies have made buying them unbelievably confusing for your average joe.

    A few months back I decided I need to upgrade my old geforce 8600 gt and spent two weeks trying to sort out what my best option for my price range was (I'm an Nvidia fan, so I was hoping to stick with them).

    After reading the reviews, I decided on the gtx 460. This would have been an easy choice, but there are two version of the gtx 460, a 768mb and 1gb version, and on top of that there are several manufacturers that customize each card a little.

    From there, I checked out the newegg listing, performance reviews (including noise levels from the fans!), the prices, and then customer reviews.

     

    I still ended up getting not exactly what I wanted. The company making the card i bought had two different cooling solutions on the same product. I got the one that sounds like a mini-jet-engine with heavy usage.

  5. Hi,

     

    I was just asking for a friend, is it possible to play this rom on coinops? I tried the rom from the latest mame release "wrally" but when run on coinops it said files were missing.

     

    Is it possible to play this rom on xbox? it would make my friends dream come true!

     

    it is possible, but it will take a port of a cpu core. I really hate porting cpu cores. :D

     

     

    ok, well thanks for the reply. I just started learning java and can't imagine the effort and xpertise involved trying to port something like a cpu core!

     

    any interesting projects at the moment?

     

    A couple of things, but not anything that is impressive to most people.

    -- I started teaching myself 68000 assembly -- starting with ripping the protection out of the Cave PGM games (This is completed :lol:)

    -- Confirmed a cpu bug in FBA's musashi 680ec20 core. It affects two games as far as I can tell. I have yet to track it down exactly what operation is wrong though.

    -- Worked on breaking the encryption on an unemulated system I'd rather not mention (incomplete)

    -- Did a little work for a friend on some CoinOps drivers (a few are complete, a few not, when I get more time I'll update more)

  7. its actually a really good shmup,fast striker was actually released on the neogeo first and then ported over to the creamcast late last year.

    the neogeo game actually saw a limited japanese arcade release.

    Yeah, I know about it. These are the same people that released "Last Hope" on Dreamcast & Neo-Geo CD/MVS/AES.

     

    Have you heard about the upcoming game Gun-Lord?

     

    Side note -- favorite shmup (any system)? Been loving Ketsui, Espgaluda, and DDP3 lately. Ikaruga rocks my socks.

  8. A friend of mine asked me to fix some games ages, ago. Here are the ones I've gotten to:

     

    The first is that I hooked up the Sample player to the game Journey, Implemented a "pause" function, etc. This makes it so that the song

    plays at the end after you beat the crazy-weird minigames.

    http://neosource.1emu.net/temporary_upload...sample_play.rar

     

    The second is that I added the game Recalhorn to the taito_f3 driver. I have a feeling it will be very slow. I may have to implement a speed hack.

    http://neosource.1emu.net/temporary_upload...nops_update.rar

  9. In the next release of mame batsugun will finally have full sound/music,looks like they finally cracked the protection.

    It wasn't exactly protection-related. The sound program is uploaded to ram and then run by a nec v25/v35 cpu. This particular cpu wasn't emulated until recently (well.. it's a bit complicated, but not emulated is the easiest way to explain).

    would be nice to see this updated driver in final burn legends or coinops.

    Doubtful to ever see it in coinops, but it's pretty likely to end up in fbal at some point. I just have to get bored enough to port the cpu core + changes.

  10. Over the next few weeks I will be spending some money onto the site's development.

     

    Money donations would be used for -->

    1. Web Hosting

    2. IPB Mods

    3. IPB Skins

    4. Any other necessary apps the site needs.

     

    I haven't asked for a donation in years, nor have I received one in years. But right now I have just about ZERO money. So even a few dollars helps.

     

    PM if you want to donate.

     

    Thanks,

    GC

    If I can cut you a check or pay with a big sack of pennies, I will absolutely donate. My bank anal rapes me when transfer funds to paypal.

  11. i am not asking for these games to be ported on xbox as i dont think personally that these games would be playable on xbox,but iq 132 how do you think ketsui and dodonpachi dai au jou would emulate on a xbox console with final burn legends?

    since these games were added to mame 0140.u2 ive been having a great time playing ketsui.

    like i said this isnt a request i am just looking for your opinion.

     

    thanks as always.

     

    if there are any shmup fans out there then i would suggest you get a hold of the patched version of mame and try out ketsui and dodonpach dai ou jou and the black label version.

     

    Honestly it is pretty unlikely that it would play perfectly on xbox. It takes a big chunk of cpu and makes heavy usage of the slowest parts of the pgm emulation (sprites). On top of that, it uses almost 70mb of ram (so it would need a vmm hooked up). I've got some ideas on how to speed up the sound emulation a bit, but other than that, there's not a lot I can do.

    I did have a version of the pgm driver that ran quite well on xbox a while ago, but it was based on extremely old sources - no sprite priorities, lots of unemulated features. :S

  12. and Kenshiro you may have noticed that cps3 now plays on 128 meg xboxs at full speed

     

    "Everything" can run on with 128MB of RAM on that crappy Xbox, things are definitely easier. That's why CPX3 is really an amazing emulator ---> runs with only 64MB and a crappy CPU, with a more than decent speed.

     

    ...and moooooo good luck with the ipad

     

    lol excellent.

     

    Moooo!! How's it going Q? Everything good with P and M?

  13. well when you are talking about adding arade games,there is one game that i would like to see with the sound added and that is nebulusray.it plays fine on coinops but unfortunatly the sound has not been emulated.dont know if iq 132 would be interested in having a look but just throwing it out there.

     

    Count me out. I'd have to port a cpu core and in the past that has proven to be a severe pain in the dick. Sorries. :(

  14. Just made a small pack of games for MAME HERE for anyone who is interested. None of these were released with the full version of Showroom and should work on most CoinOps versions.

    jodo you might want to delete that link because we are not to link to sites with rom,xbox games and stuff like that on this site,just letting you know dude.

     

    Agreed. Warned.

  15. DS would run like dog turds on the XBox. The cpu may be a 733, but it feels more like in the 500mhz range. RAM wouldn't be much of an issue for this as the cartridge has a filesystem on it, it would be easy enough to put the cart on the hdd and stream whatever is needed from it.

     

    The main issue is that the main ARM9 (~66mhz) and sub [sound] ARM7 (~33mhz) cpus would overtax the xbox's main cpu. ARM-type cpus are generally not fast or easy to emulate. The next issue would be that the graphics would have to be either HLE'd (complex & buggy) or LLE'd (good, but slow as hell).
