BP you're a star ! Thanks for the sample rate, no more irritating sounds in the oldest games <_<

I personnally believe all the useful options are concentrated in these 3 pages, good organization, no more suggestion ! Easy for everyone, and complete for exacting players !!!

 

 

PS in answer to guys who wanted to manage their roms directories (pm):

Open mameox.ini file and check those lines:

RomsPath0 = d:\roms

RomsPath1 = d:\roms

...

and replace for example with RomsPath1 = f:games\**folder**\roms or g:\roms or anything according to where you placed your games !

Has anyone else had the problem "error missing files" when loading roms with coinops ignite beta 4.0?

 

Are there any DAT files that will correct this issue? I can't find any DAT in the download I got and I assume this is the issue here.

OF COURSE mameox.ini is in e:\tdata\babe...\system !!!

 

I don't know if an advanced setting for that is useful, and this can be easily edited on a PC. If people can run the beta, they sure know about the save and where it must be placed, and mameox.ini is in this save !!!

 

Up to BP's judgement !

 

Answer for other pm: Older saves must be erased, place babe0002 in tdata (in this you can have edited mamox.ini for rompaths). Then launch the beta and the drivers list will be writen properly, don't copy in babe0002 the files from an older "babe" save !!

No more problems of missing files if you're still using the same roms.

 

PS: BP PM for you <_<

just pointing out why i think its need... to tell you the truth i could give two $hits about it as i know what the hell is going on.. but there are people out there that don't have a clue even if they can run a beta and remember one day there will be a final release and it should be simple to use because that's what this project has always been about.. also remember stf whats easy for you and me to do is not so easy for others that may come across coinops at some point.

 

You're just right Hellsfury, I do agree. <_<

 

But another solution could be a detailed "HowToUse.txt" in every beta, as I suppose it will be contained in final release.

Reading all this I'm sure BP will decide something easy for everyone !

 

That's why we wait for reactions in this topic from you friends who pm us for betas !!!

little of topic:

The pm to a Beta should include, that a user has to delete T- and UDATA-Folder "babe000x". So a User never runs in a "Rom not found" issue, like me im Beta4 <_< I just overwrote the "old" T- and UDATA, but that didn't help. Every User who wants to try the "Beta" should know how to do it. If not he should use a Final.

Maybe BP should add an Option to restore the "Default Settings".

 

BTT:

Changing the Rom-Folders should be in the Settings, maybe in "Advanced Settings", but it should be there.

im looking at rom paths.... the first one will be locked and maybe one will be changeble. Dont need 4 of them. Anyways a new BETA is very close where every setting will need to be tested. As everyone has been changed in someway code wise. Not to user hopefully but it needs test. It should have Extra Rom Path Option in it. What about screenshot path? and then theres the new Title Shot path if the screenshot path is needed :) BETA out in the weekend.... there is quite a few changes new options new skin elements new features etc..... Big mod.

 

After this the tweaking of it so it works well is up to the community.... I need bug reports. Games that need virtual mem added or sound removed to work right, keymap changes, naming, manufacture etc changes, sensitivity changes how close I get it to not having to use and vmm or sound options is up to you guys

 

Good Luck you have 4 hours to suggest your opions on what paths re required and why

all good..... paths added as hidden settings.... documented in buttons nd features (push both thumbs in in settings) there is also a restore default paths button :) so you cn return to defaults.

 

sorry docummentation is bad the problem is in BETA its a moving target. BETA 6 has massive changes and is pretty much feature locked down. So now proper docummentation can happen ... who is up to write it ... I will supply help to whoever is. After BETA 6 its only bug fixing... 720p support and gloss. The complete setting reorg is done a list of changes in beta 6 are

 

reorg settings

add many new settings

redo screen sizing screen
