nope people didnt vote that one in but its sitting on my desktop for later... people now asking for 720p which is the one I stated many times I am using and wanted to direct my time didnt vote when asked so majority ruled and I put it aside and coded this one up. I am still working on it and its very much in the late days of dev now I have been using it soley since xmas now

Lis of changes 100 odd keymap fixes 300 odd games added New save, new folder for no confict New Classic sort method New Skin plus coding to make it 100percent New Simplified Settings GUI New Wording for simple language, less techo talk Removed clock check so it can boot straight from powerup for a Cabnet New Command line code New Patching interface Repaired bad code in the Romstatus code source as I may use it later Added Bendermikes Fixes for lightgun Changed Video filter menus and code to better support autofiltering I am sure there is more little stuff.... but if I noticed it I fixed it if not well its still there.

The skin will be wrong without new xbe as functions of it had to be recoded.... Please no misinformation as it wasnt out at the time you posted your thread so you wont have a it and as stated, XS is the place for out of scope and maybe incorrect info.... your own other thread is also the place for this stuff RX. It is rubbish like this why I wont even work at all with you RX you dont even have it yet you comment on it. Only comments please on the release.....

I dont even know where and id say it will be what you said anyways I have no idea about this stuff.

Nope not sure where it will go I just hand it over the base files people assemble and release it

Hi guys all done and dusted any suggestions or bugs let me know....shouldnt be to bad. Good luck So much new stuff mostly tweaks and bug fixes, but a new skin, simpler settings and 300 odd game changes.

All done good luck guys The BETA thread is dead for me new RELEASE thread http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26716

Id like to say sorry to most BETA testers as it would simply slow things down. Hopefully the person testing who can name himself, I wont, will finishing testing each game in a day or 2 and hand it over. Might as well get it out so sorry all but feel free to offer support or stuff and hopefully can patch it to be even better although its def better than arcades now

Not to sure about that sorry....some games slow a bit not to much just a bit just each rom to go though then id say someone will hand it to the public

First BETA hooked up looks like it will go live on Friday a full version cross fingers...BETA is sort of canceled as Ill just make sure its ok with a couple of people and release it. Ill add options later if needed time to get it rolling out the door now that the road blocks are down

Nope ... there actually a few games that do that but havent noticed it in along time. Just remeber if you limit games like I was going to do, alot wont work in scan so you are limiting people. I have decided to remove all limits in CoinOPS they are easy to add but decided againt it.... people can add what they want

Its all ready been done to make the xbe 10megs instead of 35 just ask around its been done more than once

Yes they will start soon BETA is nearly up eg a few hours away now. Ill PM you some stuff Also some good / Bad news the demand for it seems higher than I thought... So because its ready bar a few hours work ill put a stake in the sand... only allow a couple of tester to help me with screenshots and testing this week then make it live in the weekend.... Then ill start a thread to improve / patch in stuff for people. I have to put a stake in the ground or else it could go on for quite a while. So the new threads can start after release Fam you can if you want monitor it and ill pop in and release a patch from now and then...now that the base will be setup for it.

removing that wont effect performance at all, well its does by about 1 percent, the midways games it wont effect at all. You would be better off making the VMM code leaner, but Export is the expert there. I am no expert at all people like export is although I dont like his GUIs, if he was involved he would sort stuff that I cant like the midways games. Its fine to post here I didnt read it as it was to long I just skimmed it. Good luck with your project im a little busy with mine at present there is still alot of work to do now

I added in unlimited credits once as I to had that idea...I removed it as some games play a tune when credits are added by the fam 80percent of those games are allready in BETA for some reason avenging spirit isnt but ill look into that cause I remember it...best I leave new game requests till you test it theres alot of new stuff. Alot of games like gates of doom is in now just called wizards fire or something a few in your list have been in for years This is new settings still might remove a few of those video settings, also might add a few of old ones there or new stuff that will be upto you guys....anyone got ideas on this stuff?

OK the BETA is nearing the ready stage and the large part....the Games are nearly all up. I require a few things now 1 ) A new thread created by someone with rom requests. I need a list pinned to the first topic with new games to add (the rom name eg SFA3). A list of Games which will play with no sound OK, also with MK3 or whatever. I will pop into the thread and give you one to delete or scrub at times after ive seen if they make the cut. Also a list of VMM games if they are on the list and settings will help as ill add them now including MK3u name. 2 ) Once the BETA is underway I need a Keymap list in a new thread where you can have your say on the same things with Keymaps. Also with faulty roms if any. I will also pop in and make comments and the runner withing a day or so should change the first pinned list. 1 and 2 would have been good for RX but I think its best Fam you do this. 3 ) A BETA tester will need to test every ROM as its not exactly synced with my build they should all boot but someone will need to check this, it takes about 4 hours and ill explain the fastest way its prob diff than you would do it please PM if your Keen... one game is wrong just to test you as well it wont boot Also Notes I have had feed back from BETA testers all want a forced save.... Some want Rom adding / removing in some dont, I allow it now but with some restrictions most if any will notice the restrictions. Settings is redone and and every menu is simplified as well as more newbe friendly. The Patching interface is in so once you have the BETA the full will be less than 20 Megs wont matter how you do the patching none of them will confict just put on the latest at any time. Also to Note alot of the screenshot I want to update some help here would be nice. Because of the new GUI vertical games you get the top part I want to crop alot of the pics so I know they are displaying the bit of the pic that best suits. High res screenshots would be good as well and also if its has a black score bar across the top or bottom im cropping them so it look smooth. Some help here before final would be good but if not ill be doing it. This patch will prob be 30 megs and will require all screenshots to be removed. Thanks guys

OK bug fixed the GUI and tidied it up a bit (you can see the splash screen....the rom selection screen sorted by type and the new classics type)

New GUI start better or worse? removed time check so you can boot into it even if the clock is wrong. Also change the folder name and xbe name and save so it can run with another build in harmony

ill look into it in the next few days and give you results it will stay as start/back but ill see if I can make it configable to click in thumb instead as an option

Rainbow islands extra is in beta... ill look at football champ

OK lightgun will be looked at once the final goes out as a patch as it will slow things down alot and will blow out the files size to greater than one DVD this will also go for games to be run without sound.... I am suppling a visual list of games for you to look though it is the current BETA let me know if there are any games to add and a list of games that go with no sound. http://www.thraxen.com/BritneysPAIRS/BETAcut.rar

OK ill look into adding alot of VMM games that wont make the cut. The settings are as I thought only really VMM and video setttings used I will discuss weather to just make Settings now Video Settings and remove a couple of them and add VMM and maybe a few more. I played with Lightgun support and im sorry it wont make the cut in the end due to all the issues it had with TVs I know direction on Settings now only thing I have to do is to look into is there better looking flicker / filters for defaults but it might depend on your TV Next question is there any switch you would like added in settings.... remove splash. Turn off after X mins with no use. Only have top 100 games stuff like that and also does anyone see a good use for X key or for left / right. I tried to get it to jump with Left / Right A B C D 1980 1981 1982 and it just doesnt feel right but the idea was good unforunatly it wont make it.

I need to kow a couple of things 1) can somegive me a site or pics of diff scalling filters and the changes like FBA ones I could add ones if applicable. Also a good way to auto them eg scal x2 on for pre 1980 games or something like that as I will look into this over time to make it look better on my HD TV 2) did HK release his source Im not sure if so where can I find it... no worries if not but I think he added this stuff. Also another feature im thinking of adding is press X on selection menu to launch a random game but im not sure if it will confuse people maybe in menu when you press start random game...clutter or not? PS if you give me names of MK games or ones you turn VMM on for ill make it so you dont have to turn it on as ill add them to VMM

Please suggest any features..... most wont make it be prepared for that but if they will help the experience and add no clutter or the clutters worth it let me know. I also wish to know what settings people use.... eg VMM Folder locations Vector Settings as I want to just add a small setting section Only settings I was thinking of leaving in was a few video settings and renaming it video settings. Does anyone use settings if so please let me know... now is the time they arnt cut in BETA but they are on the chopping board just due to massive amount of clutter that will actually break the EMU not make it better in most cases but maybe there are good reasons for VMM or sound on/off or something. State your case if you use them pretty please

OK im about to release this at the moment its a private BETA this could change depending on things I will prob lock it to one Xbox for now. People that want the BETA this week please PM me I will review there history and see if they can have it. I would like it to go further but hey sometimes I cant help but take stuff personally its my human side...I dont like being kicked for some reason If you have any skills you can add to this please feel free to offer your assistance, if you have the talent and want a clean uncluttered mame for sure id like to get help, my hand goes out to any dev I will for sure give you full credit although I dont even put my name on the product.
