    DoDonPachi 2 BeeStrorm And Demon Front Now Playable

    in XBOX Hacks [/xbox]

    Posted

    FBA's PGM code is a little unstable. It's got a couple of long-standing, hard to track, bugs that I've been having a hell of a time squashing. They are largely unpresent in FBL because it uses older code and ignores things like sprite zooming.

    It's true, the PGM driver in FBL was one of the 'frozen' drivers which didn't get updated along with the rest of the core due to having Xbox-specific VMM routines. With some drivers I was occasionally able to integrate the old VMM code into the updated driver but where there was any doubt, I just left well enough alone.

     

    thx for the answers guys ive wanted to play ddp2 for years glad to here it will indeed play fine on the xbox

    hmm a few people seem to be reporting an issue with ddp2 it crashes on the title screen seemed to work fine when iq posted the youtube vid of it playing in FBL

    reading through the shmups boards loads of mame users are playing it with no issues wonder if the rom that people are having trouble with is missing a new file which is ddp2_igs027a_japan.bin hope thats all it is as im really lookin forward to givin this a whirl

    installing coinops 3 newbie guide

    coinops4 will be out soon... then r1 will be here, then r5... r9.

    coinops5 will be out in 3 months...

    I may be reading this wrong but the tone seems to be mocking the number of releases and revisions. I do not think this is aligned with the attempt at a fresh start here.

     

    in fairness sharpy that post was from a while ago anyway ill try and keep things positive

    Maybe in the future Coinops will have optional plugin bits, so you can decide how much emulation you want.

     

    So if you want the smallest stripped-down build, it only have MAME, then if you wanted, attach things for other systems, all the way up to the Ultimate do-everything version.

     

    this might already be happening somewhat as support is added to coinops for certain systems and games but they arnt included in full download you have to add them yourself by downloading seperate packs that users have kindly made packed and uploaded themselfs dont know how much longer full sets of coinops can continue to be released in their current state

     

     

    they way things are going with the new tide of web piracy crackdowns i think torrents days are numbered upload sites will more

    than likely become few and far between and im thinking the less there are more will be dodgy rom sites will go bye bye as well time will tell i guess

    maybe in the future emulators might all be standalone type affairs and then its upto users to find their own roms videos etc maybe

    you might need to know someone with a private FTP :wink:

    So cool ... i love the idea :-D

     

    Make a CoinOPS with all MAME games and remove "FBL arcade games" and "ALL console games" ...

    But why removing "Midway arcade games with sound mamexb6 core" .. :sad:

    Where we can found it ?

     

    Can we upgrade it ?

     

    you've maybe picked me up wrong :-) im not making or releasing this it's already been released by someone else there's a thread about it on another site i just put this here to let novice coinops users know this sets not for them if they for example want to play arcade and console games in one emu

     

    but tell ya what since im a helpfull fella if you want to know how to make your set arcade only yourself grab coinops 3 sunset and PM me :wink:

    Just a little suggestion

    well to be honest i did think the same thing remove all old stuff and start afresh i was gonna suggest it on here but never got round to it

    had my eye on the new pgm stuff :-)

     

    TBH i dont think this is going to be that busy a section on here maybe some update posts from Fumancho regarding coinops releases maybe new features games added etc and some unofficial support if someone comes here askin for help thats it i guess

    i dont underestimate the appeal of a set like this at all as ive got an arcade only build of coinops personally :-) which i made myself

     

    the problem with a set like this for novices is say you had full set coinops 2 and wanted to upgrade to coinops 3 if you were to get this then

    a whole lot of your games be it arcade or consoles that worked for ya before would suddenly stop working thats why i would always recommend an offical coinops release if your new to emulators and coinops is what you want

     

    of course going the offical route wont always work as there are locks implemented again so in theory you could have a certain number of games in your set upgrade to a new release and it would'nt work also

     

    yes coinops is released as full package but if you have a full set from before you could just get a standalone release and add what's new gamewise yourself would save a whole lot of downloading but then again you would also have to kinda know what your doin going the standalone route as you would have to add your roms know where to put them how to set up pointers etc as well as find the videos for the games

    problem is +T+ not wanting to sound big headed or make out im an expert or anything i know how to work my emus where as most coinops users dont they really need something that just works outta the box so to speak and this build will cause them all sorts of issues i put this here just to let them know what build to go for

     

    i guess if you know your stuff then and just want mame arcade only set by all means get this build

    but if you're new to emulators in general and have never used coinops then i would 100% recommend an offical build

    at least that way everything arcade consoles etc will work for ya gamewise

    this is an unoffical build that was stripped down and not released by BritneysPAIRS it will be kicking around the torrents somewhere if you

    get this build you WONT be able to play the following as the cores roms and videos were removed i would recommend that you AVOID

    this and get instead the OFFICAL lastest release which is coinops 3 sunset it will have all files you need to play every game supported and it's unlocked

     

     

    if you get this build using the torrents you'll know about it as many games wont work ill list whats missing below

     

    FBL arcade games

    ALL console games

    Midway arcade games with sound mamexb6 core

     

    ive put this here as i was partly responseable for it although i did not create or distrubute it i did egg on its creation it's caused no end of hastle for ordinary users

    hmm seems you need a new file in your dodonpachi 2 rom or it wont work its ddp2_igs0127a_japan.bin i guess it's for the new data thats been read out from the rom dump

     

    also been talkin to a helpfull fella on the shmups board about demon front who tells me no new files are needed but only the clone dmnfrnta will load for him in mame
