Here's what i did today Hope you will have fun with it

 

BTW, i've done a good part of build's cleanup (updated sounds cores, remove useless code). In others words, that just mean you'll have to test a lot of stuff lmao (Coffee highly recommended ). It have also free up a bit of RAM for the UI

 

 

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.

 

That's interesting to see the emu behaviour in HD mode (which i absolutly don't know lol ), looks like less stable than non HD mode. In fact, i can launch a games before having a problem (if i have one). I'm afraid (even sure) that i couldn't do something for that, so if anyone wanna do it...

 

I also agree with your idea to sort the games, hiding the clone etc... That's definitly necessary, there's a lot of games.

I also ask the question if you gonna keep 4 menus in the emu, honestly if the games are sorted properly , that will be more simple. I'd really like to know what's your opinions on that.

 

For other stuff you mentionned, it will be correct in the cleanup i'm currently doing.

 

Thanks for all your help Fosamax, that's pretty cool

 

i see hyper streetfighter is still giving you problems kenshiro.

 

Yeah, i hate that one lol, i've never get it work in a build ( was working previously in 1.28 ), even iq_132 was surprised to not see the game boot.

 

 

Edit: stuff sended to testers, still missing Glitch and bulge2 emails.

You need at least 3 posts to enable PMs now. It's just a simple anti-spam measure. It works both ways too or else I'd PM you instead.

right reply to this and thats 3 posts then i will send the beta for you to test.

 

god thats stupid to remove cut file support! almost all my emus on xbox use cuts to boot games except surreal,mame, and scummvm. hopefully someone will add them back in in some way. and i wont be updating my xbmc anymore. thanks for the info

one of the first things im having troubles with is loading large neogeo roms. Im playing at 480p with full sound options and no filter . ill post

what i find on the spreadsheet.

[fumanchu]

i just tried snkvscapcom and couldnt get the parent rom to load but snkvscapcom super plus works just fine and it loads a lot quicker now than in any other biuld of fba that ive tried.

had some problems with samurai showdown 5 and sam show special,couldnt get them to load even though the romset was correct.

but most of the neogeo games ive tried work fine.

[mtsaint]

thats funny the two neogeo games i tried after the install were svc and samshosp.

Hi everyone

 

Romcenter DAT file is buggy with this build (missing games and parents and clones often seen as different games).

 

Use Clr MAME Pro instead (Rom center can handle this as well).

 

When using the spreedsheet. Please comment the video mode you're using for getting the crash.

 

Thanks

[- kenshiro -]

That's "fixed" Fosamax, as i restart a clean build, i simply forget to readd the code i modified before

[fumanchu]

im liking the legend of silkroad this game reminds me of the crystal of kings and it seems to use the same graphical style.
