It is crazy. I know for certain, that I will die before getting anywhere near 10k posts. Or even 1k posts.

how do you know that SP1 causes the problem?

I've tried kawaks 148b/dev, 150, 152, 153 with no problems at all on win95. 146 crashes a lot.

It's funny that EVOL posted the question here, when I answered his question on another forum. Anyway for those that don't know, here it is - for KAWAKS. if you're using keyboard controls 1. delete eeprom\vliner.srm 2. start kawaks 3. start the game 4. in the config screen, press A until you highlight CONNECT COIN 1 KEY/NOT 5. Press these keys one at a time: F A S F 6. Now it says CONNECT COIN 1 COIN IN 7. Press D to start the game

LOL

Lots of SPECIAL people

Rundll is the program that runs all the control panel thingys. As the name suggests, it allows any dll to run as if it was an exe. This makes it a haven for viruses, trojens and the rest. During normal operation, rundll should not be running. Kill it off. If it comes back you have something bad.

Back to the original question, I have Azureus, and it works quite well, my problem being a severe lack of disk space. Only a 6 gig drive on this pc.

My birthday was 2 days ago.

FBA - I tried running it on win2k-pro, it scanned for roms and wrote a dat file, then crashed with error c000005. Unable to get past this error. Any ideas? *edit - got the answer

(text removed - in the wrong thread)

I have attached a list that is part of my rom manager. It lists 1. the zipfile name 2. the parent or bios 3. the sample zipfile 4. the chd file 5. the game status (GGG = it works) 6. the long name It is for mame 0.90u2 but should suit your purposes. Enjoy!

neither do I, and I've got an old win95 pc

he can type in MAME -listfull |sort > list.txt that should in theory produce a text file with the games sorted by the zipfile name

That doesn't work on some motherboard brands. Same goes with MBM. But at least he can try it.

I can give you a list of all the games that exist if that helps at all.

CPU could be over-heating. You can check it by downloading a program called speedfan, it will tell you the CPU temp. If it exceeds about 60 deg C, you have a problem.

RazorM6, thanks for your reply.....I think. A mod chopped it out.... is there any chance you could PM it to me?

I thought it was clear enough..? The roms are renamed to their crcs For example, for the game 'invaders', usually you need invaders.e, invaders.f, invaders.g invaders.h If you opened my invaders.zip, you would see 0ccead96, 14e538b0, 6bfaca4a, 734f5ad8 This works because mame, kawaks, nebula, and final burn look at the crc first, not the filename. Only if a correct crc is not found, will mame look for matching filenames and issue a warning. Kawaks completely ignores filenames. Nebula and Final Burn haven't been tested, but I would expect them to work the same way as kawaks. Why do it? I have one zip file, the fully-merged set, containing the roms for the parent and all children within the one zip. This one zip is used by all 4 emus, and as we know the roms aren't always exactly the same between them. Further, I have multiple versions of some emus. It saves having lots of similar sets laying about. My kof2001 set has 45 roms in it - and it doesn't cover everything - still more roms to be found. I don't expect that you would like it or understand it, but it suits my purposes just fine.

Thank you for that. In my mame roms, the indivual roms are renamed to their crc instead. This is acceptable for all mame variants, kawaks, nebula, and final burn. It means that the one zip can support all those emus and different versions of each, at the same time. Will Callus and calice work this way? At the moment it seems not. NRX doesn't.

It called callus95 to be exact. I did specify my mame roms folder as the roms folder. I tried every game and none worked. There is no crc list anywhere so I don't know what rom set names, or rom names to use.

Two more emulators! callus, 0.42, 1998, no instructions, unable to run any games. looks like it requires files and folders rather than zipfiles. Any ideas? calice, 0.4.6, 2001, no instructions, unable to run any games. There is a folder full of .drv files, which look something like loader .dat files. I'm not sure if its just something to read, or it controls the games. It lists crc codes in there, so perhaps it uses zip files. If the .drv files control the emu, it becomes quite flexible - as long as you know what to do. What comments or help can you give?

FBA doesn't work on win95... so that's the end of that !! onto the next emu........

Is FBA just a newer FB, or a derivative? What is the current version of FBA?
