  1. This is great, thank you, T! Could someone post the newest roms that were added? I'm still in the middle of getting these perfect pixel INIs built and it would help.

    im not running a full set but all that worked for me in 1.4 work in 1.5 but you will need a bangup to date rom for knights of valour 2

    tryed about 5 till i got the right one

  2. +T+ just a quick question im kinda running out of space on box so any chance to save some would be welcome

    ive currently built my pgm and cave games using the rom.dat but ive added the pgm bios pgm_mo1s.rom etc

    and the ddp3_bios.u37 to every pgm and cave game rom zip folder do i need to do this or does just having the pgm bios files

    in the roms folder and ddp3 bios as part of the ddp3.zip enough

     

    If you're running low on space, I'd recommend maximizing the compression of your zipped roms by following this guide:

     

    http://eabmobile.abime.net/showthread.php?p=361987

     

    You usually gain 2-5%, which can be a lot on a large collection.

     

    EDIT: In the same way, you can run any png files through PNG Gauntlet to maximize compression (losslessly).

    Also, I notices some of my roms contained various text/html files in the archive - you can remove them to save a few more bytes!

    thanks will look into it cheers

  4. Awesome stuff.

    Some quick (promise) questions:

    1. I (admittedly) glanced quickly and seen no mention of the ability to alter such settings as analogue dead zone, NEOGEO bios, etc. on a default emulator wide level (rather than in game) - is that in now?

    2. What MAME version should I be looking for for any of the new additions, or is it the case that some will be from 141, some from 142, some from earlier, etc? Is there an easy way for me to check this, or is finding these additions more a case of just trial and error?

    3. Dunno if there is already an option to do this, but it would be quite nice to just have a number on screen telling me how many roms the emu has available to run (from whichever folders you've set it to look at). A rom count, if you will, that will tell me at a glance if an update has maybe dropped a few roms (as in this case, with a rename or something).

    4. A QUESTION FOR IQ_132 (or anyone else who knows the answer): this is probably a dumb question, but what are the chances of Ibara? Does that even run in MAME at all? If not, what's so "special" about it that it's managed to avoid emulation for this long?

     

    Many thanks to +T+, iq_132, kenshiro, and of course nes6502.

    You probably don't realise how happy you've made this silly old man.

     

    Edit: that was quite quick, wasn't it? Not bad.

     

    For me.

    the easiest way to check your roms would be use the romcentre.dat which youll find in the tools folder as for ibara its not currently emulated in mame so the chances at the moment are slim

  5. The Crystal of Kings. I missed playing this game from the old version of MAMEoX.

    last time i checked crystal of kings runs way to slow to be playable on the xbox but then again so did knights of valour 2 till recently

  6. in many areas off life if your lucky you get one big last defining moment be it a sportsman going out with a bang a fadeing movie star gets a box office smash

    a singer makes a comeback and gets a number 1 hit

    consoles are no different you know the last big release before its on to the next gen

     

    so was thinking with the great work by IQ on the pgm, cave and now cp3 games in FBL

    will this be arcade emulations last big swansong on the xbox or do you think theres more to come

     

    what needs to happen arcade emulation wise for you to say

    thats it the last big moment has come and gone

     

    for me personally all my dreams would come true with the raiden fighters series and viper phase 1

  7. gamecentrals been around for years was originally on channel 4 text but you can find it now on metro.co.uk/games

    loads of great game features midweek and weekend hot topics ,game news, previews ,reviews readers comments answered

    and the most unbiased game reviews youll find anywhere on the web

     

    laugh as fanboys sqeal gamespot gave it 9.7/10 but you only gave it 6/10 i dont want to play this anymore

    youve ruined my day

  8. if your from the uk and under 25 you probably wont know any better but back in the day

    in my opinion rountrees made the best chocolate bars

     

    but nestle bought them out 1988 and since then the quality and taste has gone right down hill

    its got to the point now i never eat what used to be my favourite sweeties

     

    but must admit quality street is good just now

    so is it just me or do you also think the following sweeties are crap now

     

     

     

    heres a list

     

    rolos

    aero bar (all flavours)

    toffee crisp

    lion bar

    kit kat

    caramac

    smarties

    munchies

    mintola (now after eight bites)

    after eights

    match makers

    yorkie bar (all versions)

    toffos (changed all the flavours)

    walnut whip

    fruit polos

    jelly tots

    drifter

    cabana (my alltime favourite)

    golden cup

  9. hi all ive only been on here for a short time but ive been thinking this is a forum for emulation topics

    and here i am filling this section with loads of general games stuff and personal gaming stories and views

     

    just want to ask everyone do you mind me doing this or should i just stick to emulation posts and questions

    because afterall this is whats this sites for and theres loads of forums dedicated to general games stuff

    which i could join and post this stuff there

     

    dont want to step on the toes of others who have made this site what it is and furthered the emulation

    scene more than i ever could or would

  10. im sick of the same old same old game genres i want to play something new something a wee bit different but for now idd settle for something like this

     

    1) a survival sort of game you know theres been a huge natural disaster maybe an earthquake or sunnami something like that

    then it would be edge of the seat thrills and spills as you struggle to beat the natural dangers as well as human baddies etc

     

    2) a police style game were theres alsorts of nutters on the lose that youve got to bring to justice with a badge and a gun

    it would feature tracking serial killers down, car chases, hostage situations, bank robberies a bit like a dirty harry film

    but done in a such way that means every moment is addrenaline charged full on action

     

    3) a good old school style platformer but with a modern twist thats not on xbox live but a full on release

     

    4) a new starfox style game plenty of huge bosses loads of branching paths infact just more shumps that dont get lost on xbox live or become

    obscure import titles will do

     

    5) less 1st person shooters or co-op shooters or team based online shooters infact any fucking shooter the genres been done to death

    has few new ideas and is the same old shit

     

    games companys need to give me a reason to stop pulling out my xbox and firein up my emulators

     

    what about you what would you like to see happen right now game wise

  11. 1st thing i done when i bought my xb360 arcade was sell the wireless gamepad on ebay and buy a wired one

    grew up with wired pads so see no good valid reason why wireless is better but unfortunately the games companies think different and wireless

    seems to be the new way where do you stand on this which do you prefer wired or wireless

     

    wireless

    + no wires

    - have to charge them up either by console or expensive charge pack that you have to buy

    - higher electricity bill because of extra useage

    - gamepad can run out of juice while your in the middle of a game

    - recharge battery will need replaced at some point which=more money

    - offical sony ps3 charge cable was way to short

     

    wired

    + see the above negs

    + gets its power from console

    + will never run out of charge

    + cheaper energy bills

    + no expensive add ons required

    - wires which can get in the way

    - could trip over wires and hurt yourself

    - could trip over wires and damage gamepad or console

  12. 1) grand theft auto vice city (ps2)

    2) starwars knights of the old republic (xbox)

    3) pikmin 2 (gamecube)

     

    Classic?

    MINE:

     

    CLASSIC:

    - Raiden (Arcade)

    - Shinobi (Arcade)

    - Double Dragon 1 (Arcade)

     

    MODERN:

    - Mario Galaxy (Wii)

    - Katamari Damacy (PS2)

     

    C.

    wonderboy (arcade)

    flying shark (arcade)

    chase hq (arcade)

     

    forgot all about katamari damacy cool game great music

  13. back in the day when we actually spent money on this kids had youth projects which gave them something to do kept them off the streets and out of trouble. back in the mid eighties we had the youth summer play for 2 weeks in the school summer holidays

     

    it was a chance for inner city kids like me to get to go places i would never get to normally they had trips all over scotland but i prefered the trip to ayr because you went to the magnum centre in the morning which was a huge leisure centre idd never seen anything like it swimming pools with chutes cinemas sports fields all under one roof

     

    but the afternoon was my favorite cos we got to go to the ayr arcade it was huge had all the top games and if you survived the many neds that hung about it was gaming heaven. well it was on one off these trips i made a record score on paperboy you know game off your life and all that got every delivery finished every training park on hard way racked up a huge score and put my name on the high score board i think it was 198 thousand cant mind for sure

     

    the summer play ran for years and you could go till you were 15 so on the many trips i went back there i noticed my high score still stood

    so i grew up forgot all about it as more important adult things take over you know women jobs money drinking in that order

    well anyway about 10 years ago me and the boys go a day trip to the seaside to largs the place sucks but the pubs are good

     

    well i notice the shows are in town shows are what we call theme parks so theres the waltzers the big wheel a rollercoaster etc but i head for the shappy arcade

    hardly in the door it costs me 50p as as five young apprentice neds tap me yeh got 2 boab there big chap so tax paid im in and its mostly fruities

    but in the corner theres some old arcade machines and wouldnt you guess one of them is paperboy

     

    so drop in my 10p give it a whirl and you widnae believe it the high scores got my name on it its the same fucking machine from the ayr arcade that scores been there for maybe 15 years what was the odds of that finding the same machine and my highscores still there must be near 1 in a million maybe ill head back one day and see if my score still stands

     

    you got any gaming stories you wanna share???

  14. Uuuuh...I was being sarcastic. Clearly gameplay is more important, only a true retard would argue otherwise. On that previous point - agreed, Narc is NOT waht it was back in '89. Rampart on the other hand...

    ok its 3-0 for gameplay anyone gonna choose graphics???
