  1. I played the demo in a store (lol yeah) and I got my ass handed to me on the level harder than medium - forget what it was called. I don't wan to judge the game too quickly but does it get more fun? I dunno, I just wasn't impressed as much as I thought I'd be. SF 3 instantly grabbed me, this really didn't. I plan on buying a PS3 soon and I don't know if I'm going to even buy this, and my excitement level was pretty high. In no way am I going to blame the game for my sucking, but god I sucked bad. Worst of all is that I'm re-playing the first Ninja Gaiden for Xbox right now and thought SF4 was more daunting. I did almost win my third fight but maybe I should just wait for MvC 3 or check out BlazBlue.

  2. I am in the process of building a romset, dl-ing roms only from the mame sections (even for CPS 1.2 and NG games) from the usual sites. I read that coinops is built from mame 84 and that updated roms may not work. I'm just really worried that all the work I've done was a waste. I haven't any idea how old those roms are on the site, but is anything Mame ok?

     

    For screenshots I've added, the average size is something like 300x230, will the emulator automatically re-size them to fit size of the entire screen?

     

    Thanks again. Sorry about all the questions.

  3. Yeah, I added the majority of CPS 1,2 and Neo Geo games. I want to keep FB because I'm very attached to it, and I love having those sets in separate form, especially Neo Geo.

     

    If I manually add screenshots, is there any specific I have to name them? Would I have to name the img the proper rom name. For instance, for After Burner 2, would I name the img 'aburner2' in accordance to the rom name?

     

    Yes, I'm a noob at this stuff. Thanks for any help.

  4. Here are mine, no particular order:

     

    There are only two Shock Troopers games.

     

    Run and Gun (or R&G 2) didn't receive a proper console port.

     

    Technos only made two WWF games, no sequels or ports of WWF Wrestlefest

     

    The MVP Baseball and NFL 2K series were discontinued. Exclusive rights suck.

     

    No sequel to WWF No Mercy while the crapdown series is in its 56th installment.

     

    The death of 2D games in the late 90s. So many great games and ideas never came about due to virtually all developers focusing their attention to 3D.

     

    EA sports abandoning the NHLPA 93/NHL 94 and NBA Live 95/96 engines in order to go fully 3D. Personally, I feel more sim-like versions of these games on the PSX would make for some of the best games of all time.

     

    I wonder what would have happened with the Dreamcast had Sega agreed to EA's offer of making exclusive sports games for the console and have the visual concepts make non-sports games. I loved the NBA, NHL and NFL 2K games but Sega may have won the war - at least stayed alive in the console business - had they made that deal with the devil.

     

    On a related note, what if Sega's Star Wars Trilogy Arcade was released for the Dreamcast?

  5. Super Fire Pro Wrestling X Premium

    Shadowrun - The combat/shooting system sucks or I suck but it's still a favorite

    Super Castlevania IV

    Zombies Ate My Neighbors

    Contra III

    Castlevania: Dracula X - not as good as the PC Engine CD game but great

    Mega Man X3

    Wild Guns

    Sunset Riders - prefer the arcade version

    TMNT: Turtles in Time

  6. there really is absolutley no point in having 0.84 because the roms you have for mameox0.84 will work fine on coinops.so you will not have to edit any gamesaves that way.

    you cant rename gamesaves like that anyway,they are named a certain for the emu to recognise them.use mame0x 0.72 and coinops.if you wish you could try mamex-b6 for nba jam,narc and double dragon 1 and2 if you wish.

    if you dont know where to get mameox 0.72 then i can give you a link to download it as i uploaded it ages ago.let me know if you want it.

     

    The reason(s) why I'd like to keep 84 is because I have a giganitc romset (also, my FTP connection sucks, and I don't want to mess around with anything nor deal with the hassle) and I plan to use coinops for my favorite games. I seem really fixated on the idea of having a smaller, customized romset. If I feel like playing randoms, I'd use mame 84. As long as I could play the Jams and Open Ice sans sound on coinops, that would be good enough for me. I own Jam for the PSX, so I could always rip the game and put it on pscxbox if I need to play it with sound - or just play it on my ps2. I usually listen to music when I play old school games, so it's not a big deal for me. I'd rather keep 84 than add 72, if I can't have both.

     

    I really appreciate you helping me and I know how annoying newbs can be - although I'd consider myself a quasi-noob on a good day. I'd be able to find old versions of mame, if they're working. If I can't, could I pm you? Thanks again.

  7. Thank you. What is the newest and/or best version? I ask this because I've seen versions up to r10 then read it changed to r1-3 or 4. I'm a little confused.

     

    Do you have to unzip the roms before adding them? My FTP connection stinks and it will take much longer to transfer folders and/or multiple files.

     

    I think I'm just going to add my favorite games from Mame84, and of course the now playable stuff like Osman, NBA Jam, Open Ice, etc. My FTP connection is way too shoddy to try to make any major upgrades and I'm completely satisfied with Final Burn.

     

    I really appreciate your help.

  8. Generally, what's the best version for running Osman/Cannon Dancer, NBA JAM, NBA Jam TE, Night Slashers, NHL Open Ice 2 on 2 Challenge, the late 90s Raiden Fighters games, Desert Breakers, DD Crew, Wrestlemania Arcade Game, Golden Tee 98, Lucky and Wild, Jurassic Park and Gaiapolis?

     

    Can you interrupt play/pause with the right analog stick like in Final Burn?

     

    Do you have to unzip roms to transfer them? If so, are there any versions in which you don't have to?

     

    Is it okay to have Mame 84b and CoinOps on the same xbox system? I apologize for asking this silly question but I'm very cautious.

     

    Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
