Excellent!

 

720p support is great as it means better and smoother motion, colours and clarity for TVs that are HD.

 

I know the difference it makes in FBA-XXX from 480p to 720p and let me tell you, its great!

Hello !

I've tried Coinop Gold, it works much better than older mame versions but doesn't accept roms with "prom" problems (64 street, Madgear, Raiga Strato Fighter...).

Ignite is a kind of a dream coming true, thanks a lot for your GREAT work !!!!!!!!!

As you can add new drivers, do you think you could update the driver for sega system 32 games ? (I dream to play Golden axe 2 (ga2 or ga2j) with correct graphics and the driver included in mame 84 is a too earlier development).

 

Will the games lose FPS with the 720p mode ?

 

It's my first time on this site but do you think I could get a beta version of Ignite please ?

 

As all french people use to do: pardon me for my not so good english. Best regards to you all !

Hello again, it should be nice to reintegrate the VSYNC option, because some games run better without it (Twin Cobra 2 [ktiger2.zip], Macross plus, Hyperduel...) and it's anoying to change it manually in the ini file. I'm ready for suggestions if you need it.

 

Some Games like Blasteroide or Skulls & Crossbones have strange screen sizes because of the "Aspect Ration correction" enabled by default. This option should be reintegrated too.

 

See you soon !

posting in an epic thread... awesome work guys!

 

font changing for low res users would be a nice option since us europeans wont go HD for public television before 2010.

 

reintegrating (improving) the mortal kombat sound hack would also be great.

 

from now on I will hammer F5 this thread until releaseday

[stf]

you could add a "service mode" as in fbaxxx pro.

 

How to start unibios on coinops? I never succeeded.

 

Thanks

 

You can access the dip switches by pressing White+Back. For some games (atari for example), you must activate the service mode "ON" and reset the game. I have remapped my pad for a direct access to the service mode of the "newest" games (Psykio, etc).

The "service mode" is F2 by default in the original game mapping, you just have to remap it with your own combination of buttons. For sega 32 games, change also the service 1 configuration to navigate in the service options. Good luck !

On kof98 ago but the dip switch on Super Street Fighter 2, there is no dip switch or service mode.

 

How to start unibios please?

I just got GOLD working yesterday. Amazing job! Good to see updates are still rolling in. Can't wait till IGNITE is done! Thanks BP!

[BritneysPAIRS]

UniBio is now added..... and least for consideration what does it do? service mode just need keymapping though white+black

 

VSYNC cant be bought back it does nothing maybe you mean framskipping...........

 

Let me know options to bring back as there is now a hidden mode that allows you to access alot more settings.

The animation is smoother in some games with VSYNC desactivated and Magnification/Minification set to 2 (linear fitering). You can just try and compare with P47aces, Gratia, Gunbird 2...

 

In older Mame versions (BendermameOX for example), the screen refresh wasn't as good as in CoinOp Gold, so I used the VSYNC activated all the time but now we don't really need it anymore.

 

Options I'd like:

 

VSYNC,

Magnification/minification

Sound enable/disable

Aspect Ration Correction

 

That should be enough.

 

A little advice for players: we can also set a value for CPU overclock:

ingame menu -> "Remap Gamepad" -> "On screen display" : remap keys here.

It can be good for "big" games to set CPU overclock to 75 or 80% cause Mame will more easily emulate a less powerful CPU. In some games like Aerofighters the CPU can be set to 120%: no more slowdowns when a lot of bullets are on screen.

 

Thanks a lot BritneysPAIRS for answering your "fans" !

 

PS: did you pay attention to the request for Sega32 games ? Do you think it's possible to import Mame 127 or 128 drivers ?

--== Rejected ==--

 

PM someone should set up a thread with a vote or tally of what Arcade Emu they use and also if its hk why? If enough people use hk for a reason that fits into CoinOPs vision ill add it

 

Hey BP. Hope you don't mind me posting your quote, but it's the first time I seen it and I think it's great.

 

Crystal driver.... SF1 Fixed... that awesome name banner (props to the artist)....

 

I don't have time to read the whole thread..... so how's it coming with the possibilities of video preview? I've got about 20GB of videos for arcade games that I could start putting together if it seems like this might happen.

 

And how about the "Allowance" mode. My apologies if you've already added it, but I've been pretty busy with my work and haven't had a chance to try your new releases out yet. I just didn't see it mentioned here so I brought it up.

 

Everything else sounds awesome man and I feel much better doing my work while you do yours and stuff just keeps improving all the time on all fronts.

 

Later,

Rx - I remember BP saying allowance mode was done in Gold, but not sure if it made it into the beta that went on and became final or if was finished for the originally intended final build. I haven't seen the option in the default settings screen of gold, could be in an ini or maybe I'm missing it.

 

Anyone know?

 

ALSO - major props to BP for the continued excellence that is CoinOps.

[BritneysPAIRS]

allowence mode is up for disscussion ive added it into a build, should it be a coin counter per person or an overall coin cointer?

[Trig]

It would be great to have the midway driver rollback.

 

On another topic, is there a page up/down on the game selection screen. Or could it be possible to have analog or digital be fast scroll and the other be slow.

[BritneysPAIRS]

ill look into the midway driver sometime ive looked into it before and it looks pretty possible.

 

the up down left / right fast jumps at present 1980 1981 1982 or A B C D depend on how its sorted..... also the triggers fast scroll

[BritneysPAIRS]

OK ive decided to put back in alot of video settings and complete redo the GUI for 720p cause it look so fantastic now with some of the filters as you can really see what they are doing in Hi Def and also the fonts etc on the skin can look so much better in HD
