Just wondering if anyone can help. I'm looking around for a working version of B Rap Boys Special. I would really be grateful. I can't seem to find a working brapboys or brapboys special. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to R4 release. Thanks.
Nuvo
Sigh. I'll warn you twice.
-
Just wondering if any one can send me a link to a working rom set for 1.29c
I have been looking everywhere and cannot find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the great Emu.
Nuvo
No. No. No. No. Read the damned rules. AGH!!!
And my day was going so well.

Stickied.

I am considering upgrading the core so that the newer PGM games work (like Martial Masters). No ETA on that release. A couple weeks at the earliest. A couple months at the latest.
A few things to be aware of if you want to add those:
The ARM7 core's page handling takes a lot of RAM, you can free up a bunch if you remove the page handling and use
if (address >= xxx && address
Since you're probably going to be using the vmm for almost all of the graphics, it would probably be a decent idea to disable line scrolling first thing and add it back in if it doesn't slow down too much. (the line scrolling calls each tile 16 times [once per line] in the tile map).
Rom loading and crunching takes a little bit of work to get it going on xbox. PGM, like Neo-Geo, has massive rom capacities.
-
iq_132 since fixing the graphics problems in "Golden Axe - Revenge of Death Adder" and updated the driver, how many fps roughly would you say it runs at in coinops since the fix? and if it does run sluggish do you think there's any way of running it at full 60fps, or do you think that would be impossible?
Thanks
I didn't so much fix the graphics problems as some protection problems. There are still places where the graphics are quite bad. And as for speed, I don't know. I develop solely on a custom MAME 0.84 build on pc.
-
Evolution Soccer?
special moves improve sports games no end
What other games are on that hardware? And what did I say about them?
-
Saw Public Enemies and the new Wonder Woman animated movie.
Neither made me think "wow... this is a good movie," but I also didn't think "wow... what a massive ass-ripping piece of shit" either.
-
any chance of this?
best of best
or this?
Jackie Chan - The Kung-Fu Master
I mentioned the jackie chan game earlier afew posts back and iq_132 said it woudn't be able to run on xbox, not enough power.
But yeah "Best of Best" looks like a potential game to add.
It's possible I spoke too soon on that. How do the Kaneko Supernova games run on the xbox [gutsn, galpans2, etc]? If they run fairly well, it's possible that Jackie Chan may run fairly well too (it uses the same graphics hardware).
As for Best of Best, that's a fairly simple one to add.
-
Been looking for games that could be added into coinops, spent a while looking through and found this
Daytona USA ₢ Sega 1993
lmao. no.
@iq132 i noticed that power instinct legends the third in the series of these great beat emups is not in coinops would it be possible to add it to your list.thanks as always.
absolutely. should take about a minute to add (it uses the exact same hardware as Power Instinct 2), so it's pretty much copy + paste.
-
the pgm games dodonpachi 2 beestorm and knights of valour 2 would be something but i think that might be pushing it.again these 2 games are playable on pc fba.
DoDonPachi 2 isn't playable in any emulator. Kov2 with its arm7 protection processor is quite slow, too slow to emulate nicely on xbox, and too complex to simulate the arm7 (unlike kovsh).
yeah i thought kov2 would be to much for the xbox and i dare say martial masters would be the same.
yeah your right about ddp2 i remember trying ddp2 on a newer biuld of mame.
I just added G-LOC, Turbo Outrun, and Cotton. Do any of the PGM games work on the Xbox?
knights of valour
knights of valour plus
oriental legend
these games play well on the xbox under fbaxxx and coinops reignite.
pretty much any games that don't use the arm7 run pretty decently.
You can get a pretty decent speedup with kov2 [and most other arm7 games] by detecting idle loops in the arm7 and skipping them [which I've done for the most part], however, martial masters uses the arm7 quite a bit for extra processing power, making it much too slow. -
there is a really good shooter called vimana by toaplan which i have been playing on coinops lately.i know the sound on a lot of toaplan shooters isnt fully emulated yet but i do remember reading somewhere about a process called decapping.
do you know if they have got any futher in actually getting the sound emulated yet iq???
Nope, no progress afaik. If you check Guru's decapping list, a lot of the mcu (also the sound cpu) chips are needed.
http://guru.mameworld.info/decap/index.html
Cool! This emu is amazing. But what about Crystal of Kings? Could it run on Xbox? Thanks for everything!Highly unlikely.
Here's a good way to tell if a game will be playable on xbox.
Run your mame game in windowed mode on pc
mame -window kof2003
Open up the task manager
Record the average %cpu mame uses for this game (not intros, IN-GAME).
Next, add 5 to this as newer cpus are more efficient than the one the xbox has and MAME has gotten slower.
We will call this percent-> GAME_PERCENT
Next, find out how fast your CPU is in mhz
So if it is a 1.8ghz dual core cpu your ghz is 1.8 * 2 -> 3.6
next, multiply this by 1000
so your mhz is 3600
we'll call this number CPU_SPEED
Next, find out how much ram this game takes. If it is over 60mb, you're likely going to
need to use the VMM. This takes, I'll guess, about 5% more cpu.
If this is the case, add 5 more to GAME_PERCENT.
Now, here's a quick formula
(CPU_SPEED * GAME_PERCENT) / 100
just plug in the values as necessary.
if this value is above 733, it will very likely run like crap on the xbox.
Here's an example
Night Slashers takes ~23% cpu on my system.
I'll add 5% to this, making it 28%
I have a 1.8 GHZ c2d. So I would do (1.8 * 2) * 1000 -> 3600 mhz
Night Slashers also needs the VMM.
I'll add 5 more % to the GAME_PERCENT, making it 33%.
plugging the values into the equation:
(3600 * 33) / 100 = 1188mhz is required
Taking this even further, you can calculate about how many fps you should get.
733 / (1188 / 60) = 37 fps.
[note that ~60 is the normal fps for most arcade games]
This isn't 100% accurate, but it's close enough in most instances.

the pgm games dodonpachi 2 beestorm and knights of valour 2 would be something but i think that might be pushing it.again these 2 games are playable on pc fba.
DoDonPachi 2 isn't playable in any emulator. Kov2 with its arm7 protection processor is quite slow, too slow to emulate nicely on xbox, and too complex to simulate the arm7 (unlike kovsh).

Updating that driver too far causes it to be to slow to be playable.
ah thats a shame
can anything be done with the prototype version instead possibly? (sonicp)
Oh, and does the same problem apply to virtua fighter and virtua racing?
would be the icing on the cake to have some 3d arcade games working in coinops
I said "driver" and not "game" or "rom set" for a reason. The Sega System 32 driver got a huge update in later builds, fixing most issues (graphical or otherwise), however, the update causes the games to get a lot slower.
Pretty much anything 3d is too slow in MAME. I'm not going to waste time on a driver that will only run 3fps.
For my part, i have a request for : 2002 - Gals Panic S3 (galpans3)Because all others are working, but this is not working, and the S2 have some glitch ...
If it is possible to have all the familly working, it were great
Just added in it in. Atm, it needs a speed hack, which will take me a little time. Works fine otherwise though.
-
Been looking for more games that could be added into coinops, spent a while looking through and found few more
The Age of Heroes - Silkroad-2 © 2000 Uniana.
Jumping Break © 1999 F2 System.
That's something I'm working on (I like Silkroad), but atm it's putting up quite a fight getting the cpu core it needs updated.
Air Attack © 1996 Comad.Already in.
Bullet © 1987 SegaFor future reference, I'll not even be looking at games with FD1094 or FD1089 in the title.
Hard Times © 1994 Playmark.Power Balls © 1994 Playmark.
Same driver, I'll probably take a look at some point.
Bomb Kick © 1998 Yun SungI'll add this to the yunsun16 driver. It should take about 30 seconds.
Thunder Hoop © 1992 Gaelco.(I think I tested this game but it crased my xbox)
Already in.
also any chance of the sound inDragon Blaze © 2000 Psikyo fixed?
As long as you don't mind it being painfully slow, sure.
Is there any chance of a driver update on Sonic (the arcade game)?speed seems to be ok on this one aswell, just unplayable because of the old drivers
Updating that driver too far causes it to be to slow to be playable.
-
Heavy Smash is removed as it was there for trial but I never siad it worked ever dont know how you are guessing that its ment to.
I think that's because Heavy Smash rom is contained in the "R3 showcase update" rar. BTW thanks for your hard work and dedication!
Yes it's the point. Is it playable in the R2 version?
nope.
Thanks, that's a pity. Anyway 1.000.000 OF THANKS to BritneysPAIRS for her job!
His. BP is a dude. lol
-
Looking for a snes game just for the hell of it - It was a cowboy game side scrollling shooter - you could be a dude or a woman.
Im not sure but it had enemies like will smith robot thing in the wild wild west not too sure about that bit though? and you had floating targets to twat your enemies... i think..
I thought it was by konami but cant find it on their list for snes games on wiki?
Sunset Riders?
-
Not a chance. The xbox is much too slow to emulate those.
CPU : SH2 @ 28.636350 MHz
Sound CPU : YMF278B (OPL4) @ 28.636350 MHz
These are the Psikyo SH2 specs
Wasnt there a rule of thumb that you need 10 times the mHz to emulate a platform properly?
20 (normally).
-
Possible?
Asura Buster
That's on the same hardware as Asura Blade. It runs too slow in MAME. I'd suggest giving FBA-xxx a try if you want to play those games.
hi everyone ive been away for a while does any of these CoinOps have full speed mortal kombat games like ultimate mk 3 etc etc?Nope, none.
My suggestion is: PCSX with Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It's a bit slow on the loadings, but it's great fun to have such a huge roster of characters.
now this is what i call a umkt hack for the genesis that is but still bloody good.
back on topic.
finally iq 132 heres a game suggestion..
bombs away
info
TEST MODE:
Hold Start1 + Start2 on boot to enter test mode.
WIP:
0.127u4: Jaleco 'Bombs Away' improvements [aDG4W+qp0]. Added game to the Psychic 5 driver. Changed region user1 to proms and palettesize to 768 colors.
0.123u2: Added 'CoinA' dipswitch.
0.106u6: David Haywood and Andrew Gardner added Bombs Away (Jaleco 1988).
19th March 2006: Andrew Gardner - After (finally) submitting my Psychic 5 blend chip changes, Reip pointed me to another game running on similar hardware to Argus, Valtric, and Butasan. It's called Bombs Away, and it looks to be a quaint 194x-style shooter. I've decoded most of the graphics, found a few bits of the palette, and have the text layer drawing quite nicely. No idea where the tilemaps are, nor the sprites - and the thing reboots after running for a few seconds, but there are still tons of other things to try so stuff may begin to look better.
7th April 2005: Guru - Bombs Away (Jaleco 1988) arrived, purchased from two private sellers by Randy.
22nd February 2005: Dumping Project - Randy finalized an agreement to purchase from a Swedish seller Jaleco's 'Bombs Away' (1987).
GAME( 1988, bombsa, 0, bombsa, bombsa, 0, ROT270, "Jaleco", "Bombs Away", GAME_NOT_WORKING )
That kind of rules it out for me.
-
psikyo perhaps?
Not a chance. The xbox is much too slow to emulate those.
-
I understand the frustration of users posting random favourite games for fixing.
Even with a little research, not all of the info is clear, so unreasonable demands will be made.
It does however stand testament to the level of skill you bring to this emulator iq_132.
A lot of advances have been made so user expectancy has raised the bar a little higher.
The challenge of being a "goto guy" may be harder and more demanding than the coding itself.
I, myself, made some requests last week, you answered with no uncertain terms with colourful
language which i found hillarious. I read it in the vein it was written. My kind of direct, toungue in cheek, humour.
Anyway (bad grammar i know) thanks guys, BP, IQ_132 and others. Love the previews in GUI. Loads of games to play.
Very modern, unlike the skin.
.I'm glad you understood I wasn't trying to be rude.
-
Speaking of Zelda, I think I may actually start a new game in The Phantom Hourglass. I made it about 4-5 hours into it a while back, but I was side-tracked and didn't pick it back up. From what I've seen, it seems like a great game. I was hesitant about the idea of full stylus control, but it's surprisingly natural once you get into it.
Do it! Spirit Tracks is coming out soon too!
