Theres a Dreamcast version out now.

These are images from kof2k3 running on kawaks. Apparently the team/ person responsible for making this happen is 96% done. check it out......... all i can report is that its being worked on and hopefully will be available to us soon.

When i worked for a gamestore i checked out the entire dvd collection and ripped them, made VCDs (before i had a dvd burner). Comes out to something like 10 discs but i kept it within 8 cases so it matches the dvd set (8 dvds). Made covers with a spine that creates an image when put together. I kinda went ballistic on it now that i think of it. Each disc had a menu with a unique image. You only would get credits at the end of the disc (instead of after each episode). wow i really wasted a lot of time doing it. BUt it was fun as hell! lol

we need a new P rom is all

probably. I'd make the dat myself but this is a whole new type of rom The whole ROM has 1 V file, 3 P files, 1 M file and 6 C files uhh what rom do you have?

well with the 2 xbes of Mr. X should be that big a deal to add a new game.

THat whole thing with Razoola was a big gag. Razoola came out and said it was not him and he can care less about kof2k3, his work will continue.

Just to let those of you know that might not already know, the Dolphin team released a working "Teaser" of their emulator and is running some games full speed.CHeck it out here! I tried out Cap snk 2 and double dash but they didnt work out so great. Bust a Move 3000 worked great (no sound) but everything else ran fine. Pretty cool news while i wait for kof2k3.

I still got the touch.........YEAH BABY!!!

I was told that the old FBA actually had support for that rom. I dont know about the newer one. As far as KAWAX, havent done much with the CPS side of the emulator. sounds like a challenge though and its boring these days........so ill take a looksie too.......just need that rom. heh

Pepperoni, extra cheese........thin and crispy also enjoy Canadian Bacon and Pinneapple on a Hand-Tossed crust.

yea like i said its just what i did to learn how to add the drivers, etc. Its not really meant for everyone. Just something to test out.

Well there may be some issues as reported but overall I personally am impressed with his work. I havent actually tested the xbe or seen it in action but I have compared the patched xbe to the original just to see all that was done. I cant even begin to understand how he would have realized to do the things he did to make those games run. Pretty interesting stuff that id like to learn.

where it shows the filetype, try clicking and choosing "all files"

Id really like to know how you used 2020 and Magician Lord as replacements to Mslug4, Mslug5 and King of Fighters 2002. just curious.

Havent bothered but theres a tip with everyone that has gotten fba_xxx

UPDATE:!!!! After playing several roms and testing FBAX out, ive decided not to support it at the B4 stage. Way too buggy. Theyve released 4.1 but no source trust me b4 is not worth it. Sorry for any dissappointments, kawa kickas ass though!

The beginning of all this can be found in "kawa-x Plus" which involved some doubling of roms, splitting, etc. Crude but effective with the central objective was to get unsupported roms to run. Then the xbe hexing was discovered and an entirely new strategy was adopted to making the emu recognize romsets.......ENTER KAWA_X SE - this build by Mr.X supports the roms as they are found in the scene and by far the most USER-FRIENDLY version of the Kawa-X, eliminating the need for all the renaming, etc provided that the end-user has a matching romset. (I personally tested SE(alpha) - the first default.xbe that Mr.X made (before it was called "SE") I went to sites and re-downloaded complete romsets that were supported at the time with SE and I had about a 90% success rate in just plugging and playing those roms. Thats pretty damn impressive if you ask me considering all the rom sources out there, etc. If everyone was using SE then there would be no concerns as as mentioned above- SE supports romsets as they are in the scene. Thats really a matter of opinion. Some people are emulator freaks that want their games to be run as close to the actual arcade version as possible.....so you see the conflict with your comments about UNLOCKED characters, etc. Also SE supports both the Bootleg and PLUS versions of SVC (basically different P1s) and PLUS does show the PLUS on the screen but has all characters and newest M and S roms. Plus is what makes it the plus. Newer sets like Samsho5 and Mslug5 have not had major changes made to them from the final releases that were running. As we all know we generally are waiting for a P1 that will run for us on kawaks/nebula/neorage or whatever. P1s were released for both of these games which allow us to run them in kawa-x. I havent really heard a lot of people complaining much. In fact in many ways (imho) it has strengthened this community here with members helping eachother out and as they grow to learn more about the emu, they become teachers instead of students. Ive been very impressed by all this actually. Kawa-X Se allows you the flexibilty to play around with your roms (switching out P and S roms, etc ) since there is no CRC check. So in the case of SVC(PLUS) if you dont want the PLUS to show up but you also want all characters unlocked, then all you would need to do is change out a P rom that has all characters unlocked and no PLUS. The EMU SCENE standard with SVC is to have the BOOTLEG and the PLUS versions as Mr.X has added them in SE. Now ENTER: FBAX With the link provided, right away most of you are going to have compatibility issues with certain roms, ESP: kof2k2nd.zips p2n...there might be others with PIM, Sengoku3 and others.....who knows. Reason being, FBAX checks CRC (currently-ill get to this in a minute). Also everyone will need a new neogeo bios for FBAX (all mentioned in the readme and website)....Ofcourse his motivation wasnt a transition from KAWA-X to FBAX the compile was done for himself according to roms he has. Great job too. So why even bother? Well FBAX could be a PLAY ALL on 1 EMU/XBE solution that a lot of people seem to be looking for. No more renaming/ replacing romsets in order to trick emu into running newer games, simply adding the driver will bring it INTO the rom family with all others. (CPS1,CPS2,CAVE, TOEPLAN,NEOGEO). -I know that DJBASE (the person that compiled the zip that has been linked here) is working with someone to remove the CRC checking in fbax. This would mean more flexibilty with the emu and more opportunity to "play" around with your romsets.......basically SIZE would be the only thing that matters. I have recently learned how to compile and add drivers to FBAX and my goal is to create a version that is more compatibile to the SE roms with little or no need to go in and hex crc values. Also add compatibility for other decrypted romsets that are NOT compatible with FBAX currently. (mslug3, strikers,kof2k,kof2k1,kof99) which will be even more of a smooth transition for everyone here. When i release my version (very soon) it will include a "dat" of the roms i added to it as well as 'preview' images that you can add to that folder so you get a little pic when you highlight the rom and a new MENU image (cause i cant stand the one it comes with). _personally i have found that the FBAX sound levels are lower and tend to break up more often than in Kawa-X. But you should all try it out for yourselves. The compile i will be building will still be as PLUS was.....something for ME that I share with YOU.

should also give credit to the person that made that compile. DJBASE

The default.xbe and rom images have been sent out. Expect them as soon as the individual releases them to those that want them. default.xbe supports:(from previos kawa-x plus and new) cthdnd.zip kof2k2nd.zip matri.zip mslug5n.zip *(NEW)* rotdndp.zip samsho5.zip *(NEW)* slug4.zip svccha.zip this is the one i have on my xbox, its my testing facility so to speak. If you have any issues, compatibility problems, etc. Please do not PM me, im releasing this xbe for those that still use PLUS. Please help eachother (as you have been doing). I highly recommend everyone start movin over to Kawa-X SE. FBAX-PLUS coming soon!

seems peeps are still doin the PLUS thing. Someone contact me with info and i can send you a new default.xbe that adds mslug5 and samsho5 roms. all other roms will function as they did upto CTHD2k3 (last update) i was hoping people would stop using Plus and migrate to SE but it seems that you have not. No big deal Im still using plus. Like i said, i can send out the new default.xbe with new screenies for samsho5 and mslug5n.zip. PM me the info if intersted. basically it would give you ROTD KOF2k2 Metal slug4 metal slug5 CTHD2k3 PIM SVC Chaos (you decide which P file you want to use) Samurai Shodown V all these work under 1 default.xbe

nah man, he just likes to scribble on his site and piss people off even more.
