FBAxxx Pro 8/02/05 build Help.

[XtraTrstrL]

Ok, I finally upgraded from my Baed3b FBAxxx PR version to the Fbaxxx Pro 8/2/05 build.

 

I also downloaded some new kof's (10th anniversary, 2004ex 'n such)

 

Almost everything seems to work fine this try. There's no music in FBA menu, but whatever.

 

I can't seem to get a game or 2 to work on this version though.

 

Samurai Showdown 5, It worked with the PR version, doesn't work now. I really want this game.

 

I found a site with a whole bunch of separate zips for NeoGeo games (including Samsho5 and Samsho5 special). I downloaded all the zips for each one.

 

now I'm left with this:

Alright now, How in the world do I get these to the way they should be to work again on FBAxxx Pro?

 

Please, someone out there guide me through this.

 

 

Thanx in advance.

[+ T +]

Use the DATs included with the patch to find out the CRCs of the ROMs you have and the ones you're missing. Then from your lists download whichever patches turn your ROMs into the ones you need.

[XtraTrstrL]

Alrighty, I'm gonna try that, have no idea what I'm doing though.

 

I opened the dat before with notepad 'n checked some stuff out, this is crazy though.

 

Anyhow, lemme get on it.

 

P.S. Once I get all the files, do I just zip them back into 1 zip?

[XtraTrstrL]

LMAO

 

Ok, I'm not afraid to admit when I'm in over my head. I just tried to do what you said. It's a little too deep for me to jump into at my level of knowledge on this at the moment. Too many random patches and they don't all say what they do.

 

Guess I just gotta either go back to the Baed3b PR version and try to add the KOF 10th and '04, if they'll work. And for the fixes and stuff on FBA I'll have to wait for someone to remake a new altered version with games like Samsho V special 'n whatnot. This is just too complex for me.

 

Thanx though +T+. Good lookin' out man.

[+ T +]

You're not supposed to open the DATs with notepad. Go to www.romcenter.com and download Romcenter then load the FBA-XXX Pro Romcenter DAT with it. Now if you drag your ROM folder into Romcenter it will show you the state of your ROMsets including exactly what you have and exactly what you're missing.

[Prican25]

just to be clear, fba-xxx pr doesn't work with newer roms like kof10th or samsh5sp

[XtraTrstrL]

Oh, Ok, now we're getting somewhere. Let me go get the Romcenter, then put my BAED3b roms back on the PC and try this out.

 

I'll be back.

[XtraTrstrL]

Ok, I got Romcenter.

 

I go to "file" - "open data file manager" - "add..." - and add the FBAxxx Pro Romcenter.dat to it.

 

Then I drag my roms folder into the games database section. And all the games show up with errors on roms.

 

When I try fixing any of them, it comes up with "No Fix done !" immediately.

 

I'm lost on this one.

I'm having this exact same issue. I'm fairly new to this stuff, and even though I've read the docs and have a reasonably good idea what romcenter is supposed to be doing with the FBAXXX pro DAT, it doesn't seem to be doing it. Fix doesn't seem to want to actually fix anything.

 

The BAED3b disc, copied to my Xbox HDD, works great by itself - but I tried upgrading to FBAXXX 8-26, then I tried applying 'Patch 2' to make it act as an 8-02 Pro build. After I installed it on my Xbox and copied my roms over, I discovered that it doesn't like some of the very same roms it previously played without incident.

 

I'm watching this thread with baited breath.

[XtraTrstrL]

To be honest, I didn't really read any docs on it. I should, I'm just a lazy bastard. But, I was trying to walk through the process in a common-sense-ish style, and I figured that the way I went about it was what +T+ was saying to do. Though, every game has an "Access violation" under info. And I have no idea of how to go about actually FIXING the problem.

 

I'm not even gonna try to get Samurai Showdown 5 special and the others put together with all those crazy zips and patches I have. If I'm having this much trouble with Romcenter to begin with, it doesn't even make sense. I'm in way over my head on this isshhhh.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

The reason it doesn't like the same roms are because the BAED3b disc had an altered version of FBAxxx. PRican edited it to play those roms. The newer builds are different, PR's version was just based on the original and augmented. I wish PRican would Fix up a new version.

 

That'd be the SHIIITT!

[ShadowStitch]

The thing is, I'm GUESSING that I AM doing this right, and that romcenter WOULD try to repair my romsets and prepare them in accordance with the fbaxxx pro dat, if it had the correct rom component files to splice from... I probably just don't have what it wants to work from. It's looking for rom bits that are not present anywhere on my system -- and why would they need to be? It's worked fine till now!

 

If the choice is between either using an older version of FBAXXX from BAED3 that WORKS with my roms, or attempting to blindly collect multiple copies of a few roms until it assembles the bits the new FBAXXX wants....I might just stick with the antique.

That last statement you said, I feel you completely on that. That's the conclusion I've come to. Just sticking with the BAED3b version. I mean, I see all the updates and fixes the new ones are said to have, but I've yet to have any noticable problem with the PR version. There's like 3 fighting roms I don't have, and they are all just hacks anyhow. No big deal.

 

I think you're probably also right on Romcenter needing some more input for it to correct the problems. I think there's something we're not adding in there that it needs.

 

But I can't really talk on that, it'd be like the blind leading the blind. I'll Let the experts get on that.

The 'fix' function in Romcenter can only rename any ROMs that are incorrectly named or import ROMs from other sets if necessary. It can't create new ROMs that you don't have.

 

You need to look at the CRC numbers of the ROMs that are missing from your sets (the ones in red) then download a patch that creates that ROM from one you already have.

 

If you are really having problems with this then I would suggest using the non-Pro version of FBA-XXX since it supports ROMsets that are much easier to find, and you may well find you have them already. Pro is called Pro for a reason, because it uses the latest and most accurate ROMs in its supported sets. If you're not bothered about using the most up-to-date ROM dumps and just want to play the games then there's really no reason to be using the Pro build at all.

Perhaps then, my motives are simply being petty, because I spent 6 hours making an awesome skin for the XML version of FBAXXX and I'd hate to lose it when I switch back to the INI version.
