Now with the new Hex editing option its boiled down to wether or not one prefers to hex or split/double to get the desired results. I only hex if i absolutely have to (rotd/svc) otherwise im comfortable with just inflating a rom if needed. Gouki....... i know that with P roms theres a "header" line prior to the Ps that says how big the Ps should be total. do the other roms have a similar occurence? (like the C roms, V roms, etc?) or do those only need the main changes? Ive only made hex changes to P roms for SVC and ROTD........and thats it. just curious.....

+Dec 2 2003, 04:56 AM--> QUOTE(Gouki @ Dec 2 2003, 04:56 AM) Personally, I've edited my own default.xbe to play SVC instead of Samurai Shodown 2. I've changed Samurai Shodown C roms sizes, P1 rom size, V roms sizes & all the rom region. I've not cut svc_p1.rom, it runs perfectly in 6 Mb. & All the Rom Region.......? what do you mean by that? Yea with all this new default.xbe hexing the possibilities are endless on how to successfully run a rom now. good idea with Samurai 2 though since it only has 1 p rom like svc.... i never looked that far back in the roms.

The p1 doesnt necessarily have to be split up 1 and 5 (although this is the way i originally did it when the game was first released.......) everything youve been trying though requires your p1 to be split into a 1mb p1 and 5mb p2 rom.......so keep at it this way........ if you decide that its too much or you get frustrated........ill offer another sollution. the important thing is that you get the game running so you can enjoy it! so check out the SVC on KAWA-X sticky and theres a site that has kawa-X Plus Pack.......... HERE! its basically a pre-hexed default.xbe WITH p and m roms, images, and easy instructions to help you run ROTD, SVC, MELEE, MSLUG4 and kof2k2 all in one emu together. dont give up, you will play soon enough.

Ok, i created a kawaxp.ppf that will be uploaded late tomorrow i assume (i have no direct access to the site)-gamecops thang. this patch will be applied to the kawa-x plus default.xbe (this is only for those of you that want the intro the way its meant to be (otherwise stick with what you have and enjoy the game) ive also packed up the C5,6 and M1 rom changes i made to Clone to RBFF2 (real bout fatal fury 2). Also have a new slug4.jpg ready to go. the new metal slug 4 will be named slug4.zip and cloned to rbff2 so look for this stuff tomorrow. kawaxp.ppf slug4CandM.zip slug4.jpg ***I will stress again this is not a critial fix ( i was bored)

The roms used for this came from svcplus. the P roms were altered as well as the M rom from svc plus in order to make them compatible with kawa-x.......but these roms are included in the Pack so as long as you have svcplus rom.......your set. just replace the P and M roms provided, rename and presto! **should also note that the P roms provided are the current NO PLUS/ ALL CHARACTERS unlocked ones. **and for ROTD, the P roms allow you to play in Arcade and Console but are not the hacked ones that have the 2 bosses selectable. (you can easily replace your P roms with whatever version you like- the important thing is to name them correctly.

Yea think of this as a separate EMU from your normal kawa-x. Because of the "cloning".......whatever rom the new game takes the name of will become that game. In other words....if kof2k2 is kof2k1....then you wont be able to run kof2k1........ as a rule its best to keep kawa-x plus as your Banned Roms Emulator. and use a normal kawa-x for EVERYTHING else.

+Dec 2 2003, 08:59 AM--> QUOTE(Gouki @ Dec 2 2003, 08:59 AM) Will you add Jockey Grand Prix & V-Liner ? Well Gouki, those titles arent too high on my must-play on kawa list. They dont really even look very fun. **update- Something that has kinda bothered me for awhile but ive been too lazy to do the work was get mslug4 running perfectly.....currently with the plus pack you will notice a break in sound in the games INTRODUCTION sequence...other than that it runs great....... i was bored tonight so i decided to mess around with other drivers, etc. most of you may already know this but mslug4 seems to run 100% with RBFF2 as the clone. I doubled the c5,c6 and m1 roms.......then renamed to rbff2 convention. Intro runs with music,etc and game seems to run just as nice as before. Ill build a ppf patch or something for the default.xbe........

Bigger Badder Better Kawa-X Plus Pack

Cool deal with that iso Waiting on Gamecop to get the site up. Everything else is ready to go. Me and a friend made one called Kawa-X plus the day I got SVC runnin on it. Its setup for all the Banned games, etc. the plus pack that gamecop mentioned inclued screenshots of the internal roms for eachgame (so you know how to rename your roms) and also the P and M roms for all of the 5 games (rotd, svc, melee, mslug4, kof2k2). In addition it has a Hexed up version of kawa-x v.11 ready to run all of the roms and displays the actual game title in menu, etc. Ive finished the "manual" its really nothing more than a few simple instructions for renaming some stuff since the emu is ready to play. like i said before, just waiting on GameCop.....

Click back a few threads and i give some direction on how to pinpoint your search.

lol..yea i got a 5-slot in my crap.......all i gotta do is click on Right Stick and return to menu! lol i havent actually used the uni-bios.......no need since you can return to menu to select another game.......

Listen to Gouki.....thats exactly what i did to get ROTD and SVC runnin together. ***also want to credit Gouki for helping me understand the process of making these hex changes w ROTD and also getting the right P roms for ROTD, etc... thanks again man.

I understand your confusion there but what i meant by that was that some people have the actual strikers rom in addition to the strikers(rotd) rom.....so it can confuse people with roms named strikers.zip........ that way you can keep all your roms together if you like (on your pc) or whatever....without tryin to figure out "is this the real strikers or the rotd strikers" sorry for the confusion

I didnt hex it to read Strikers in many different names Strikers = ROTD Garoup = SVC i hexed 2 different romsets within the xbe so that i can have both games running on the same emulator without conflict. ** also the other 3 games run in same emu with these two (melee, mslug4 and kof2k2) so all 5 banned games run within same emulator with no conflicts.

If you got bad sound, its your M rom most likey man...... find a new M rom or wait for the PACK!

I have ROTD runnin off of Strikers and SVC runnin off of Garoup romsets. its setup like this in my Kawa-X Plus! its floating around so those of you that have been hooked up........start returning the favor.

lol, crap sorry man.......lol give me some info on your SVC rom.......your p1 p2 and m1 rom sizes..... i can give you the info you need to get it runnin also.

And those instructions are for ROTD.........just an FYI.

Dont focus so much on the values.....break it down into smaller chunks (more precise chunks)....... to get you started........do a FIND for FFFC8EFF (try to FIND ALL occurences)....there should be 2 locations for this. Once you find them, goto the first one and look for this 0000000000001000FFFC8EFF02000000609F0D00 change to this 0000000000004000FFFC8EFF02000000609F0D00 now take a look where your at from here.........if you look up more youll find this line......... 0000000000005000000000000A0000006C9F0D00 (this is really the first one your supposed to edit) changed that 5 to an 8 (like i said it isnt far from the place you just edited...you just need to look above it and to the right........youll see it there.) once you do that youve just completed 2 lines. Remember there were 2 locations for that string? goto the next set and make the same change........ while your there.....look up a line or 2 and look for 0000000000005000000000000A0000006C9F0D00 again.......it will be there and you will need to change the 5 to an 8 again..........double check your work by looking at the A that follows the 5 here.......its alone. make sure you edit the correct 5. if you do that then youve now completed 4 of the 6 corrections. now do a FIND for DDD4DFEF (again find ALL - should have 2 locations) click on the first one and change 0000100000004000DDD4DFEF0200000000000000 to 0000400000004000DDD4DFEF0200000000000000 (notice the only change is that 1 to a 4) now goto the second occurance and make the same change..... your done!

To your first concerns........no I did not tweak a HACKED version of kawa-x..... i simply made the changes to a freshly unzipped kawa-x v.11 As far as crouching tiger........i know some people have done it and a lot of us have not since its not a real game....lol its hacked crap but its good information nonetheless for those that might be interested in getting it workin. BTW........i heard that CTHD2003 does not have V roms? is this true? if so..........did you just use the kof v roms? i could be wrong about all this since i havent really messed around with it.

Connection refused....... how about some info about this emu..... how fast is it running the games (FPS, etc) how about minimum system requirements, etc.

The P1 rom used in the information posted earlier in this thread has that problem (no console mode).....it blacks out when you switch to or start up in CONSOLE.........however ARCADE mode works fine. There is another P1 rom that can be used though........and Console mode will work as it should. P1 rom (CRC : 1BD7512D) This P1 rom is created by taking P1 rom (CRC: 841071FD) - 8mb p1....... split it into 2 4mb roms and keep the 1st one and use it as your p1. so theres 2 roms you can search for listed here. if you find the first one, ofcouse it will be easier........the second one requires you to split it up (instrunctions/ app mentioned earlier in this thread).

The xbe, p and m rom for SVC has been sent out.......... this xbe is edited for svc and rotd as well as displays the proper names for the other "banned roms" = kof2k2, mslug4, melee, etc. on your Kawa-X menu. another note for some of you........all the edits were done to Kawa-X v1.1.......... some of you may be trying to edit 1.0........ if you happend to download a fixed xbe for this task........and it displays Kawa-X Plus on your dashboard.......it may be the one we created. Just as a note for you the xbe we fixed is looking for the following roms. kof2k2nd.zip matri.zip mslug4.zip rotdndp.zip svccha.zip notice the romnames are not the standard convention used in the emulation world but then again we didnt do standard stuff to get these working.....it does help you keep your roms organized without the confusion of "which strikers is this, rotd or strikers........." the internal roms *whats inside the zip, are still renamed to the CLONE rom (the one that were tricking kawa into running) and like i said the actual game title will appear in your Kawa_X menu.

What happened to the sharing?

Posted in another forum. This is the info that got me started on SVC.
