Damianiw Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 let me know about any games missed fam .... Arcades is an awesome update, I miss hyper street fighter 2 anniversary edition, but I have the files and the VMM settings in my Mame xbox install (and it runs) so I can add it to Arcades (thanks!) One thing I'd like to do is sort my Arcades, Mame and FBAxxx hd installs out so I have one rom set - maybe something for next Xmas for me to do!

gavin19 Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Could some one please explain to me what the purpose of 'Platinum' and 'Arcades' is? I fail to see any difference between my Mameox128/FBAxxx Pro setup and the Platinum2/Arcades one. To my mind FBAxxx Pro is far more preferable for any CPS1/2/NeoGeo and any other supported games (eg Guwange, ESPRaDe) due to autofire, extra video options, rewind/forward, record, HD support etc etc. Please correct me here if I am missing anything. Mameox128 is simply more preferable to me due to the autofire, as I mostly play shooters. IIRC there are more options in Mameox128 than in Platinum too? I am NOT knocking this as it looks like a lot of effort has gone into it, I have in fact got it on my XBox right now. I would just like some insight into the purpose of it, apart from streamlining the roms, which I have done myself from a full 84.3 romset.
BritneysPAIRS Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) good luck then you can fix all the issues and if you havent noticed them then theres no issues... this wasnt desinged for you in mind no offense it was designed with a different demigraphic inmind. Its has streamlined interface, streamlined favs, streamlined roms and bug fixed 100percent (which there is at last count about 300fixes) its for people that just want to play games and find them and sort favorites with no complications they dont want 100s of extra features and clutter they just want to find galaga and play it. PS I fully recommend this Arcades for people that just want a non cluttered prettier easy to use interface with most games they want to play and like favorites and easy organised sorting HK128 build if they know what they are doing, dont mind a little hassle want heaps of features controls and options, dont care about GUI and dont care if there 5 year old cousin cant use it that easily, want to sort out any issues themselves this is by far the best build its fully featured non limiting Edited January 19, 2008 by BritneysPAIRS
BritneysPAIRS Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Oh yes and all those other games where removed for good resons bad speed or lightgun (which most people dont have) or duplicate of other games. Ill be looking into adding a new skin interface soon with video previews instead of pics and I guess at that time ill look into little extras and rom changes. Edited January 19, 2008 by BritneysPAIRS
fumanchu Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 hey bs i seen over at x-scene,them talking about a game called osman/cannon dancer.apparently it was added in the .84 version of mame.any idea if this rom would playable on the xbox?
BritneysPAIRS Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 I tried it a while back and it didnt work didnt really look into why (eg diff sets etc) if you get it going let me know i can retry it again if not some time
gavin19 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 Thanks for the response. I see what you mean now. Guess I just prefer having a big mess of roms and a few different emus to play about with. When you mentioned the bugfixes do you mean that you have gotten unplayable roms to run, or speeded up some games, or added working sound? Do you have a list of these bugfixes?
gavin19 Posted January 19, 2008 Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Just tried Osman in Mame128 but no luck. It actually lists it as unplayable. Checked the old 0.84 changelog and it says Osman was added, but to the Non-Working list. Edited January 19, 2008 by gavin19
BritneysPAIRS Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 (edited) if you havent noticed the fixs needed then there isnt any bugs for you shooters dont have to many though bug fixes are keymapping of alot of games you couldnt control (Ikari warriors you cant turn the gun) or / and was non standardised for xbox controller. Sound glitchs that worked with old dats so I mixed them to produce an older game that actually played faster or with sound as new rom wouldnt, only for top games like Sam showdown 5 special as it has sound error in mamedox.... clones working but orig game not so you needed both to get the clone to work and the orig one would hang, cheats locked up a few games using orig settiings. Sort methods by genre was about 1000 of them now there is about 8 or 9 cats the list actually goes on and on but its just polish and for people that want to play around these thing wont cause them much issue and they dont seem to care. This is for someone that just wants stuff to work and doesnt even really understand mame I know many on these forum are experts and its not so much for them as for newbes Take care opions on how to make this vision work are allways looked at as long it isnt personal goals more simple pretty arcade launcher ill do my best to sort it out.

gavin19 Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks for the explanation. I can see a hell of a lot of time and effort has been put into this emu. I have a near complete 0.84 romset if you need any games tested or whatever. Keep up the good work
BritneysPAIRS Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 No worries just recommended games that kind of run is all good
BritneysPAIRS Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Its all finished just testing it really..... and tweaking a little at times. And deciding weather I want to support non 720P as 720P is sexy
