bogard81 Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 I would like to change the gui buttons from this emulators.Maybe in the future there will be a chance for me?It bothers me.I want to have the same buttons on all emulators:mame,kawaks,fba
Gryph Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Well...chaning the GUI takes a lot of coding talent. I've never seen anyone change the GUI in these emulators. I don't know why it's such a big deal to you, just get used to it. What buttons do you want?
bogard81 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Posted May 20, 2005 The ones mame has by default.Almost.Mame is cool because you can change all the buttons.Maybe the guys who write the other emulators will add this option in the future
Agozer Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 You'd be better off asking the actual developers, but don't count on them being too interested in your "proposal".
Gryph Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Well MAME has several frontends and is an open source emulator. It's also a lot more well known than Kawaks, FBA, or Nebula hence the attention it gets.
Agozer Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 FBA is also open source to my knowledge, so if you have l33t coding skills, you can change the buttons yourself. What buttons are we talking about here anyway? Hotkeys or what?
Gryph Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Yeah, FBA is open source too but I haven't seen any front ends for it or any GUI manipulations. Maybe IQ or James might know something.
Agozer Posted May 20, 2005 Posted May 20, 2005 Yeah, FBA is open source too but I haven't seen any front ends for it or any GUI manipulations. Maybe IQ or James might know something.Does one actually need a frontend for it when it already has a GUI? People don't change the GUIs because just "changing the buttons" isn't really the priority when someone compiles a custom build. Besides, why fix something if it isn't broke?
Inky Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 my question is why use fba or kawaks when you are already using Mame?
Wizard Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 MAME has 3 input frame delay, that's why it now sucks!
Inky Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 so then the question becomes... why use fba and kawaks? they are both pretty equal aren't they? I dunno I haven't used either in quite some time.
Wizard Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Normal FBA has no frame delay. Other builds of FBA (nFBA, EnFBA) have a 1 to 2 frame delay (depending on build). I believe Kawaks has a 1 Frame delay also, but Kaillera (normal) adds frame delay depending on the connections of the users (More delay added for higher ping). Also certain FBA builds now suppport CPS3, so MAME can take a hike!
iq_132 Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 so then the question becomes... why use fba and kawaks? they are both pretty equal aren't they? I dunno I haven't used either in quite some time. Not even close. FBA supports vastly more games than Kawaks, has more accurate sound, a better Motorola 68000 core (it actually has two), a better gui, none of this "pause before you exit" bullsh*t, and is open-source. Also certain FBA builds now suppport CPS3, so MAME can take a hike!Errr.. even the official build of FBA includes CPS-3 (and to a degree PGM) support now. ^^
Inky Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 so then it would seem there is no reason for kawaks or mame at all. except for non fba arcade games. (but really who is playing those )
Agozer Posted March 20, 2008 Posted March 20, 2008 Which version of FBA is the one you'd recommend most, iq? That unofficial Shuffle or the official one?
