For the first person to be working on a new version of FBA-XXX

[Cospefogo]

I wish I could help with this FD1094 thing.

But damn... I am a illiterate regarding this kind of subjects.

My area is the graphic design.

 

Well - I really would love to see working on FBA:

Raiden (As said before) and Same!Same!Same!.

This game is also know as FireShark in the US.

It is a wonderful shooter by TOAPLAN.

 

Check that, guys:

Raiden and Fireshark already work fine on Mameox. Fireshark is without sound like other Toaplan shooters eg. V-Five, Dogyuun. Fireshark did get a pretty good Megadrive/Genesis port though.

Yes, Gavin19!

 

I know they work fine on MAMEoX, but the vertical games rotation screen feature

is miles away better in FBA, since it also rotate the commands.

And, to never forget - the image is much more crisp and sharp in FBA-XXX.

If you use Mameox128 for shmups then there is a Rotate screen option (as there was with all Mameox/Mamedox versions), which also rotates the commands to match. I'll agree that with the filters that FBAxxx has, it can make things a lot nicer to look at!

 

OT but related - I was playing some old MvC, X-Men vs SF etc on FBAxxx yesterday and was changing filters, when I stumbled on 'Superscale Scanlines'. It made such a big difference, at least on my screen. Highly recommended!

Gavin,

 

Are you sure it rotates the commands on Mameox?

Oh... I need to re-check that. I saw that option there but I don't

know what made me think that it does not change the controller method

as well when turned on.

 

Ah, I think I remember why I did not liked that option in Mameox128...

It rotates ALL games, and not only the vertical ones. Yes yes... I recall now.

 

Anyway, now that I did learn how to make the Mameox save in different folders

inside TDATA through HexEditing, I think I will build a second Mameox on my

Xbox just for few games that are nice on the rotated view, without affect my main Mameox.

 

Cheers!

PS. I will try the SuperScanlines, but I don't know if they will work

fine on a CRT TV running thru 480i.

Yes, I forgot you have to turn it off when you want to play a vertically-orientated game.

That's what I have, an edited version of Mameox128 which I use just for horizontal shooters. The other big advantage to this is that Mameox128 has autofire which is really needed for some of those games.

Yeah, I'm running it on a 32" LCD at 720p so I don't know either. I'm sure it will improve it anyway

Its an easy mod to change the rotate on MAMEdox stuff to only do it vertical games....... but I dont have the source to do it to HK128 build sorry.

A bit off topic - Yesterday I migrated most of my vertical shooting-up games

to a new folder and did set up new Mameox (HexEdited, of course) for them.

 

All games are rotated now - but you need t go to the IN-GAME menu and

"rotate" the general UP/DOWN/RIGHT/LEFT commands too, Mameox changes just

the image.

 

Damn, now when I play Raiden I feel urged to physically rotate my television!

Eeerks!

Yes it would be great, i send you a PM as soon as possible

 

I just finished to add the sega drivers improvements (specially sound) from the last FBA release: http://www.barryharris.me.uk/article_view.php?id=92

 

It was tested very quickly ( and not test system1 drivers), but it seems to work like the PC version! ( i hope lol)

Gentlemen,

 

There is something strange on FBA-XXX Pro 1.28 here.

Can someone please make a test to clear my doubts?

 

There is absolutely no way of making the controller shortcuts

to work in my FBA 1.28. I tried to assign A+B to black button,

and C+D to white button, or A+B+C to white, and so on... but

they do not work.

 

If I turn off the controller shortcuts in the settings panel, the

options for shortcuts disappear from the in-game controller

settings, and if turn it on, they are back, but there is no

way to make it work.

 

So, I assume it is buggy on the current 1.28 version

just like the change Coin Button option... am I right?

 

Can someone please try to assign A+B to BLACK button as a test?

 

Thank you!

Cospefogo.

 

PS. Kenshiro - Great news on FBA... I am really looking forward

for the promising 1.29 version!

[Knocks]

The official FBA does support CPS3 now, so why not port that code instead?
