lawnspic Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) +T+ May i suggest just for the hell of it including packbat in the next release or just compressing the xbe. From my personal experience the emu runs faster and more predictable in this state. Also you dont get the hicups that happen every now and then when uncompressed. I have a 1.1 xbox maybe its just me though. Gogo did mention a performance increase a while back, not with game emulation but i think he meant was in navigating the emu and initial bootup and stability. Cant put my finger on it, it just feels right compressed Edited February 21, 2006 by lawnspic
+ T + Posted February 21, 2006 Author Posted February 21, 2006 (By the way, this wasn't documented anywhere in the readme/option menus, which is why I asked, but thanks.)Both are listed in the Help screens of the emu. I'll add an entry to the FAQ section of the readme to make this more clear. +T+ May i suggest just for the hell of it including packbat in the next release or just compressing the xbe.

Cant put my finger on it, it just feels right compressedI did try running a compressed XBE a couple of times. Each time it crashed my Xbox so that was the end of that as far as I was concerned. Could you possibly be more specific about what parts of the program you've noticed running better with a compressed XBE? Or what hiccups you get when using an uncompressed one? If the differences are significant enough then I'll look into this further. Thanks.
lawnspic Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Well then i quess its a matter of personal preference, or need. Since it crashed on your xbox then there is no discussion. Thanks
+ T + Posted February 23, 2006 Author Posted February 23, 2006 FBA-XXX Pro v1.09============= - Fixed incorrect kf2k2mp2 P2 ROM. - Fixed corrupted GFX in ms5boot. - Fixed sound in ms4boot. - Fixed missed controller presses when navigating menus. - Removed switch to hide clone sets from ROMlist. (for some games the only working sets are clones so this option is useless) - All INI files are now saved to the emulator's TDATA folder. - Updates to default skin. To those who requested an option to hide non-working sets from the ROMlist; Over the last few days I've been trying to re-implement and fix the old ShowNotWorking code that caused problems in a past build of FBA-XXX. But no matter what I do, playing a clone set of a non-working parent with this option enabled always causes the emulator to crash when clicking the right thumbstick to enter the in-game menu. I have no idea why this is and until I do I'm afraid I won't be able to add this feature.
Prican25 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 nice update + T + also seems no need for an update since it can easily be fixed using the dat with romcenter/clrmame
Prican25 Posted February 23, 2006 Posted February 23, 2006 i'm in the mood of giving back so i'll make a post on newsgroup of the complete v1.09 romset for FBA-XXX PRO i'll be using the giganews server and that should speed up things while posting along with ditching xnews for posting and trying out YencPowerPost. i'll reply when its going up since creating par2's takes a good 2 hours
deadsoulz Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 "Removed switch to hide clone sets from ROMlist. (for some games the only working sets are clones so this option is useless)" Have you considered changing the option to hide clones, unless better than parent? Similar to mamewah and other front ends? This way you always have working roms displayed and none of the parents that do not work.
Prican25 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 ok guys/gals, the post is going as i type (actually before i typed but i was busy ) to the same groups as before which are: alt.binaries.the-terminalalt.binaries.games.xboxalt.binaries.cd.image.xboxalt.binaries.emulators.neogeo now the set should show up as compete as i even added the fake versions of the 2 unreleased roms and its noted in the readme. now since using giganews there shouldn't be any problems of it showing up on many servers but theres always the chance of some ppl seeing it bad/incomplete or missing in which i suggest paying for a server like giganews or astraweb that have decent plans to d/l whatever you want. also wanted to mention to those of you that didn't update from before, the par2s might fix the romsets you have thos par2s are the last to be posted. Enjoy
badazz74 Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 This is a great site with great people, Thanks for all the hard work with the updates and the rom sets. I am glad I came across this site on xbox-scene. Keep up the good work you guys make a lot of people happy.
lawnspic Posted February 24, 2006 Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Fixed incorrect kf2k2mp2 P2 ROM I assume this rom is fine, because everything shows up ok with the new dat on RC Ok just tried to play it and it says im missing that rom(P2), i quess the dat was not upated, what's the crc? Rc is saying i have that rom and shows up green, but when i open up the file that rom is not present, is this a problem with the dat or is it me? Looked into this more, in the directory of my roms it does show up yellow saying available in another game, so i fixed it, i quess its fine. I have not tried it yet though, if that rom is in another game, then which one. Im lost, just when i thought i knew RC im stumped again Ok, i think i figured it out, but it still seems strange to me though Edited February 24, 2006 by lawnspic

Previously it was using the kf2k2mp P2 ROM which was a mistake and caused graphics problems. The correct ROM works fine for me in both the DAT and the emulator.
