Neo369

why? the splash is awesome lol. and what about an option not to scan the dats every time, but only when you ask it to? i only play about 100 roms right now, so the scan wouldn't take very long. i guess i dont know how many other users would want this, but for me, it is nice, because downloading the entire showcase is not a very easy option with limited bandwidth...i just add the games manually that i want.

hey, is anyone else have the same problem as me? coinops r4 only shows the title screen on the very first boot. once game saves are set up, it no longer shows. any ideas? also, a cool feature would be that when games are scanned in, all files are checked against the dat file right away. i know this would take a bit longer, but would eliminate a lot of hassle in the long run to see if games added are even the right set, since many new downloads have only .136 sets or whatever. (sry i didnt feel like making a new thread just for that)

here is a more complete screenshot pack with higher quality images. still not perfect im sure, but i think its pretty good. Screenshots.rar - 103.84MB

im sorry if im totally missing this, but is there an option to set up the default screen size for all roms? i feel stupid for not seeing it anywhere...

thank you. good answer. will try out fbl within a few days (once i get a day off work, lol i have 11 hour days now...avatar keeps selling out still). anybody else see it yet (yes i know totally unrelated).

hey guys, im still pretty new here and have been using coinops and am happy with it, but after this whole fiasco of what's going on, im starting to look at final burn. my only question involves the different versions of fb. so far i have seen: final burn fba-x fbaxxx fba-xxx pro final burn legends what is the difference between each one? are they simply updates on each other with new names? i am aware that final burn legends is the most recent, but is that an update of all other versions shown here or does each one have something specific that is different about it? also, will fbl (if it is the best option here) play most arcade games that coinops plays? i have heard performance can be better to?? i am most interested in old school arcade classics (pacman, galaga, pole position, etc.), mortal kombat and the like, neogeo, cps and cps2. thanks for any and all input. please no flaming about coinops or bp, thats not my intention here.

thanks guys. that had been bugging me for a while.

is there any advantage to using DVD2XBOX to rip a game to my HDD over just doing a direct rip (selecting all files in a filemanager and copying to F:\Games\<game name>)? is one faster than the other, or give a better working backup somehow?

haha silly me. i was so excited to try it out that i didnt read it right. works great. thank you!

I am unable to make it work with ZsnexBox v3.5. Black screen, no sound...anybody else try it out yet?

any news/developments on the latest build? also, can i get a pm with a link for the most recent version? thank you to whoever responds.

Yea for Detroit!!!

Though this probably belongs in a different thread, while we're on the topic of bios, what bios support 128mb ram, as I am also considering upgrading that for Surreal and CoinOPS. Does nkpatcher work with 128mb?

I am looking into upgrading my stock HDD (finally lol). So far, I am looking at a 500GB Western Digital WD5000AAKB. I chose a PATA because I have read that people have had trouble with SATA->PATA converters. Can anyone confirm that this HDD will work and is lockable? Also, do I need a special BIOS to support this drive? I have a 1.4 XBOX and have a softmod (from SID 5.01, NKPatcher 11, I believe). Thanks!

any chance of getting sound to work with gunlock? or mortal kombat?

i know of two such games: Starsky & Hutch for the XBOX (check snesorama) and another on the arcade...at this time i'm drawing a blank as to its name, although i was just reading the article about it on wikipedia. i believe you drive a jeep and im pretty sure its a zombie game if that helps at all.

i contacted freakdave and he gave me this link on his website: http://freakdave.xbox-scene.com/surreal/Su...v1.0_Source.zip enjoy!

any torrents yet or coming?

unfortunately, saturn isnt possible as you probably know (dual processors and such...) though i would love to see that as well... as for a net browser there is one in aideluxe, or you can use linux to run firefox. and for defragging, most likely not possible unless done through linux. my friend and i tried to port an open source defrag to the xbox filesystem, but the xdk does not have, afaik, the os methods needed to run it (someone correct me if you have found a way...)

sorry for the probably n00b question, but is it possible to update the dats to use the newer version of certain roms? i tried doing this, but i still ended up with missing file errors for the files that i switched out, crc and all... i want to use bublbobl with the proper a78-01.17 rom instead of 68705.bin, which does not work quite right. is there any possible way to do this?

Updates for the N64 emu (Surreal XXX B5) would be awesome. Even if it was just customized settings per game, something similar to what was done for CoinOPS vm would be awesome. I know that here there is a list, but it is outdated and does not include every game. If the settings could be built in per game, so the best emu (1964, PJ64, UltraHLE) were automatically chosen, this emu would be absolutely amazing. If anyone knew how to integrate this into surreal, I'm sure that support would rise and most if not all games would be tested in no time.

i have to apoligize for this as well... for the two weeks that i had the beta before the final release, i was extremely busy. finally, i have time now, but its too late to contribute to this awesome project. i guess all i was hoping for was some sort of vm fix or something similar that would be simple to do on an individual basis. if this is not possible, i guess ill just be out of luck... thanks for all the hard work.

sorry mk4 doesnt work in any mame. my mistake. nm #2 edit: ok, doubt that anyone will notice this edit anyway, but plz ignore all the questions i asked in the previous post... they are all very stupid and make me sound far less intelligent than i actually am. lol.

hey just hoped that i could get a few questions answered... sorry if they were already in the thread... 1) No sound in mk, mk2, mk3, gunlock 2) mk4 not supported? 3) outrun missing files (i have the full set) 4) bublbobl does not run with proper rom set (looks for hacked rom file 68705.bin)

Sorry for the late reply, been busy. For a 56" screen i would advise using the better LED stands. Remember when you use 2 guns from EMS only one pair of LED's is needed for both guns. If i remember correctly, when you buy the guns they come with the standard LED's anyway, you may be able to get different packages, i dont know. They come with full manual anyway. Whether they are any good or not is neither here nor there (there good anyway) cause its all thats available for modern TV's at the moment. Older type's of gun's used a flash to map the screen on CRT TV's. Modern screen's cant use this system so the LED stands map the co-ordinates to the xbox for you. The LED's plug into a port on the xbox just like the gun or a pad would. The gun comes with a laser sight if you like to use it (good cause you dont have to squint down the sights) also it features a re-coil feature which is necessary for calibration but highly annoying while playing, as it is plastic-y, clunky and loud. However buy them you wont regret it. thanks for the reply, ive been busy as well, so i dont mind at all. will be purchasing soon. probably will buy two and the extra bright stands.
