Happy 20th Birthday to BoomBa_GoosE !!!

er, what is Black Friday?

I think dudu.exe pressed the wrong button... lolz

That's a different thing. This one actually uses the CD player/burner to alter a track on the CD, to record the console's ID onto it.

Only a rumour so far, but knowing what assholes Sony are, I expect it will happen. A patent has been filed, which will restrict a game CD to work only on the unit it was first played on. Patent application It is rumoured this technology may be installed in the PS3. It would stop you taking a disk to a friend's place; stop renting of used games; stop sale of games on ebay. If your PS3 broke or was stolen, your games would not work on the replacement unit. What Joystiq said. What The Inquirer said. If Sony aren't sued first, I'm sure some smart person will produce a hardware mod to overcome this misuse of technology.

Today, I found the missing 269-m1d rom and confirmed that svcchaos and svchaosa are working. Then, sorted out the mess with kof2k4se various versions, and kept 2 of them. Then, fixed a mistake with kof2k4ex and it now works. Currently battling with some obscure supposedly decrypted kof2003 variant.

There are no emulators capable of running Nintendogs or any commercial game at this time. Maybe in a year or two. No one would be willing to work on such a new game lest they draw the wrath of Nintendo. You'd be better off buying a real DS as you can be assured there won't be any glitches or bugs.

Did a big clean/tidyup of neogeo.c, removed various un-needed codes, commented out code for games i'm not implementing... and finally found a fix for svcplus/svcplusa. I'd left out the px_hack routine. Now, every driver for which I have the roms is working! Decided to add kof10thu and kf10thep, only to discover I don't possess the encrypted kof10thu roms. Therefore I made a kf10thud and substituted the p1 and s1 roms from the nrx set. Two more working games! While watching kof10th attract mode, I discovered that the neogeo/snk screen is corrupted. Since my new kf10thud uses exactly the same c roms without problems, the fault must lie either in the p1-program, or in the driver. This needs to be investigated. This exercise has been a great learning experience, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks to James for his assistance!

Happy 17th birthday AxL !!!

Yep understood. Had another go at bankswitching code, kof2003 is working at last! Still no luck with svcplus and svcplusa.

Thank you again sir. You've saved me about 2 weeks of work, I would have got there eventually, I swear. (j/k) It runs pretty well, there's just that bad graphics in the title screen that you mentioned. I've tidied up that code and removed the redundant and duplicated stuff. It works the same - I tested it. //----------------------------------------------------------------------kog experimental code DRIVER_INIT( kog ) { UINT8 *rom = memory_region( REGION_CPU1 ); UINT8 *buf = malloc( 0x100000 ); int i; unsigned int nBank[] = { 0x3, 0x8, 0x7, 0xC, 0x1, 0xA, 0x6, 0xD }; for (i = 0; i < 8; i++) { memcpy (buf + i * 0x20000, rom + nBank[i] * 0x20000, 0x20000); } memcpy( &rom[ 0x000000 ], &buf[ 0x000000 ], 0x100000); //move unscrambled p1 back memcpy( &rom[ 0x100000 ], &rom[ 0x200000 ], 0x400000); //move p2 rom to original location free(buf); samsh5bl_sx_decrypt(); //works samsh5bl_cx_decrypt(); //works init_neogeo(); }

Got a little further with kog. When it should show neogeo snk screen, it shows a crosshatch pattern instead, and stops. What does this mean?

Perhaps if someone can talk me through getting website watcher working again, then i'd be able to post some news. EDIT: nvm, I fixed it. Generally, I'm exhausted from work, and it's too damn hot and humid to do anything but sleep.

Yeah, that. Why is the set called 2k3 Ultra Plus, when it says 2k4 and no ultra. The EX isn't even mentioned.

I followed the instructions and it worked !! The title screen says King of Fighters 2004 EX @@ PLUS (the @ signs are really some asian characters)

Thankyou sir, I can see I was loading the c roms in the wrong order. Now, I've worked out the so-called "encryption" of the C roms - I found a suitable subroutine, and the graphics are now perfect. The p1 rom is the major obstacle as part of it appears to be encrypted. Booting up produces a red screen at the moment.
