MAMEoX with 090 CPS2 Support!

I was looking at the vm.txt file and found that many games were listed twice and one was listed 3 times. I've removed all the duplicates and put everything in alphabetical order (makes it easy to find duplicates). You can get it here: vm.txt

 

Also, I noticed that your version has the Force VMM option on by default. If you do this is the vm.txt ignored completely or are the values for games listed in the vm.txt used instead of the ones used in the Force VMM option? If it's ignored completely then I'm not sure that is the best way to do it since the values in the vm.txt are usually picked because they work the best for each game. Using the Force option, if the vm.txt is ignored, would then force each game to use the same settings whether or not those settings are actually the best settings for any one game.

 

Anyway, for future reference, the easiest way to sort and manage the vm.txt is to copy the list and paste it into Excel. Then you can use the Sort option to have Excel automatically put everything in alphabetical order.

ive done a VM.txt for all games plus so called banned roms. But there are many duplications and because it doesnt cause any problems I havent sorted it. I will do and put it into bendermameoX cause a few games dont run with vm on auto and set to 8 megs most do a few dont.

 

Cheers for tip of sort easy to do and so simple

Force VMM shouldnt be set to on by default...It's only used for testing the best setting for each game. When you test it out, you should add it to the VM.TXT, and set Force VMM to off to enable the setting in your VM.TXT.

If you set it on by default, every game even those which dont need any VMM will use your vmm setting.

 

I have a 128M XBOX, so most games dont need vmm(all CPS1/CPS2 games, almost all NEOGEO games). I cleaned them out of the vm.txt file, and I'm testing the best setting for some games that need VMM on 128M XBOX.

It seems lots of you have spent hours testing roms and emulators like FBAXXX, Mameox, Kawa-x,...

 

I've always been interested in sound emulation as I know that till Kawa-x was stopped, no more progress has been made in that way.

 

May someone advise me how is the sound emulation under Bender's Mameox ?

 

Are there still any sound halts in the emulation of Neogeo roms like in FBAXXX ?

 

Is the sound as good as Kawa-x ?

 

Many thanks for your comments.

 

Best regards

mame by far emulates neogeo best but uses more memory.

 

the fba-xxx probs are due to a buggy src tho gogo and co. has done a lot of miracles with it.

 

kawa-x is best for low end systems and was great but work on it has stopped for the public at least as Iriez at x-s claims Mhz still works on kawa-x. hopefully one day Mhz will allow new kawa-x to go public, untill then live with fba-xxx or mameox

benders runs the fighters way better than FBA and Kawa. Metal sugs run better on benders. Flying/shooting games run slightly better on FBA or KAWA. BenderMAMEoX takes longer to boot but SFA3 is so much more fun in turbo, cause in turbo on FBA or KAWA its not fast

the fba-xxx probs are due to a buggy src tho gogo and co. has done a lot of miracles with it.

Actually the worst sound problems were caused by changes to the VMM routines that were made in later versions of FBA-XXX. I was able to virtually eliminate all sound issues by restoring the original VMM code.

May you please link the post where Iriez claims Mhz is still working on kawa-x ?

 

I hope it was true...

 

Thanks in advance

Hi, I am new and would like some help on how to set up the

latest bendermameox release. I am currently using mameox 0.84

with Mr. X progear patch. What files need to be changed and/or replaced with files from Bendermameox to update ?

 

Thanks in advance.

Nice! any chance of uploading the source somewhere?

[Prican25]

nice to hear that + T +, i hope you can share your src cuz it would be great to finally play matrim without breakups in the sound.

 

jontox not that hard to find, it was recent topic. i won't link it since i believe things like that should be left alone and hope until he decides to make a new public release.

The old code is still in the current source, it's just commented out in favour of the new stuff. Then it's just a matter of a few little adjustments here and there. An adept coder like djohng would have no problems re-implementing it.

 

I'd be happy to post my modified source but my build of FBA-XXX is so heavily customized to my own romsets and tastes that many of the roms from djohng or gogo's version wouldn't even show up.

well could you at least post the file\s thats needs to be changed? i doubt its dealing with d_neogeo.cpp but if it is you could just post what needs to be changed.
