FBA-XXX Pro 1.29 Beta (aka project "Blue Balls")

[- kenshiro -]

kenshiro, if you want to send me the beta I'll upload it to megaupload or rapidshare or whatever. Then I'll PM you the link back and you can just hand that out. Unless you've already done that?

 

 

lol yeah, that's already done

 

Stuff sended to Fumanchu, Fosamax, Vegeta, Hellsfury, Bonky, Fosamax, Tulius, mtsaint, Cospefogo

 

Gavin19, i can't remenber if i've you're good email (please resent it), miss also emails of Garcimak, Chrom, Bulge2 and also Chiemik and maybe others i missed

 

 

So like said Garcimak previously i'm extremely busy atm (work, currently moving to another flat, means that my web acess will be closed the first November, No idea on the date for a new one ) however i made a special experimental build lol with changes i was speaking on Bottom.

 

 

So there's only CPS1, CPS2 and Neogeo in it, that's normal cause i restart a clean build, the others parts will be easy to readd (except maybe few Sega games, we'll see lmao), that's over 600 games lol

 

so the small things i don't have the time to do:

 

- readd auto unibios option (you need to set the bios during the game)

- Neogeo games will appeared in "others" section, that's normal (yeah, yeah that's true)

- If you get a crash of a neogeo game during loading, that's just mean you tried a game with incomplete code (affect about 20 games, all the rest runs well). That's encrypted games after 1999 will graphics sprites data wtih a size higher to 32 Mo

 

 

I've no work Sunday, i'll have the time to code a bit, i could readd anothers games and fixed crap you will find lol

 

 

I wish you all a good night, and if someone don't receive the build let me know.

 

PS: lol i suck, i think the email i send have no subject, wach out!!!

 

EDIT: Neogeo sets are those of FBA 0.2.96.98 (in .99, there's a bit of changes in bootlegs sets, also some bios changed). As i didn't found that stuff in my favorite place, i let the previous one atm.

Hello guys

 

I've made a spreedsheet on google docs. Thinks it'd be easier to test and report usefull info for kenshiro on that one.

 

Here's the link : Fba 1.29 aka blue balls

 

Don't forget to save and close.

 

By the way here's some general bugs I've found so far :

 

Enabling vertical bg crashes the emu (480i and 720p)

Changing video mode before entering a game crashes the emu

Those are old bugs in fact.

 

Happy testing

[- kenshiro -]

for some reason it was in my junk folder.

 

I assume because of the preliminary status lmao

i see hyper streetfighter is still giving you problems kenshiro.

[fosamax]

Hi Kenshiro

 

Here's other bugs I've found so far :

 

The emu freeze when entering menu if it runs out of memory (imho). This happens every 7 ou 8 games when video mode is set in 720p (so there's probably a memory leak).

Sometimes, the menu start to draw but the background doesn't show and the emu freezes.

 

For some bigger game the emu freeze every time I try to enter in the menu (aof3k, aof3...)

 

Also HD related : The "command view" doesn't display properly in HD : it seems that the 2nd player is hard coded to x= "something between 500 to 640" (it draws in the middle of the screen) when it should be something more like "xOffset - something" where something is the position of the player one display.

 

By the way, it should be great to have the opportunity to keep aspect ratio when resizing (especially for vertical games) and to center the display.

 

I've also noticed that when you press the A button on the menu, it cycles through 3 preview but I don't know how to name the needed folders (preview, title, cabinet ?)

 

Auto Uni bios doesn't work anymore but you have already mentioned it.

 

Did you think of adding an option for showing/hidding : (working/not working ; parent/clone) or to filter by region

 

Not really important : Mega Man - The Power Battle (951006 USA, SAMPLE Version) : the others versions of megaman don't take a caps at "The" (idem for Rockman: The Power Battle (950922 Japan))

; Metal Slug X should be placed between 2 and 3 ; Saturday Night Slam Masters (slam masters 930713 USA): slam should here be in caps) ; Fatal Fury Special should be between 2 and 3 ; there's a typo with Metal Slug 3 (not encrypted, decrpyted C) : decrypted C.

 

 

That's all I can think of for the moment.

 

Keep up the good work.

[fumanchu]

ive been testing a lot of the cps2 roms and on my lcd tv i noticed the sound on games like progear and marvel vs capcom was a lot sharper and louder to boot.

excellent work kenshiro.
