Ouch! Details please?

[Cospefogo]

I was eager to migrate to 1.29 some time ago, JUST BECAUSE in 1.28 I can't remap the damn coin button. How is it now, Kensho? Anyone could please tell me if the BACK BUTTON remapping is working again? This was a stated bug in 1.28 by the very own creator, Mr. +T+.

 

And more, with few tests I made on 1.29 most of my roms stopped to work. YES - I know I need to "update" my romsets using that "CLRMAME & ROMCENTER" tools, but GOD - I really have no idea what to do to BUILD a total functional new romset for 1.29.

 

If someone can teach me, it would be a pleasure to migrate back.

At the moment, I am still on 1.28 where all games works fine with no need to mess with romsets.

 

Regards,

Cospefogo.

Ask it to +T+ if he's still alive.

Ok i assume that cause that's my crappy work.

 

A romset is a zip file with contains roms, each roms has a name, a size, a CRC32. That's all... So that tools can do this work instead of you. There's i don't know how many tutorials on the web to get your answers, take five minutes to understand how it works seriously...

 

And also, i would be a pain to explain that in English, so look for a tutorial.

Hey man, I did not intend to be harsh, sorry.

It's my poor english that make my message look like rude sometimes.

 

I wonder if YOUR version is remapping the coin button.

Last time I tried, It was not. +T+ has nothing to do with 1.29c, correct?

 

Ok i assume that cause that's my crappy work.

 

Your work is not crappy, your work is superb. I really appreciate the new improvements, but since I am just to play, as sooner as possible, I stayed on 1.28 that all games installed are running for me. without extra work.

And I know that Google can teach me very well. When I find out for sure that the CoinBUTTON remap is working again and all your new features/improvements/retouch gets finished, for sure I will migrate, and will ask GOOGLE about the best way to fix my roms.

 

Question:

On FBA1.28 I have some decrypted and some non-decrypted roms (Metal Slug for example). I remember I wanted to get rid of the Encrypted ones and to keep only the decrypted, but then the games were not loading anymore. I need BOTH sets for the game to work. People told me about MERGING sets but I did not move forward on this procedure.

 

How is it on 1.29?

Am I able to have just ONE SIMPLE set for a game?

I hate having dozens of versions of a same game.

For me just one is what I need to simple ---------------- PLAY.

=D

 

Thanks!

cospefogo i would have thought that if you use the parent roms then you should be ok if you just want one of each game.

could be wrong though.

No prob

No.

Correct, that was a way to say i've nothing to do with FBA-XXX Pro 1.28 issues except of course drivers, which is the only part i'm working on. Except drivers and dats generator, the code is 99,99% those of 1.28, bit per bit. People have to live with it or help to fix it.

That's normal, you tried to get run a clone set without the parent one. For example, you wanna just keep Ganryu (decrypted set). Here is Ganryu romset content:

 

// Ganryu / Musashi Ganryuki

 

static struct BurnRomInfo ganryuRomDesc[] = {

{ "252-p1.bin", 0x200000, 0x4b8ac4fb, 1 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, // 0 68K code

 

{ "252-c1.bin", 0x800000, 0x50ee7882, 3 | BRF_GRA }, // 1 Sprite data

{ "252-c2.bin", 0x800000, 0x62585474, 3 | BRF_GRA }, // 2

 

{ "252-m1.bin", 0x020000, 0x30cc4099, 4 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, // 3 Z80 code

 

{ "252-v1.bin", 0x400000, 0xe5946733, 5 | BRF_SND }, // 4 Sound data

};

 

here is the decrypted one:

 

// Ganryu / Musashi ganryunki (decrypted C)

 

static struct BurnRomInfo ganryunRomDesc[] = {

{ "252-p1.bin", 0x200000, 0x4b8ac4fb, 1 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, // 0 68K code

 

{ "252-c1_decrypted.bin", 0x800000, 0x6bf7605b, 3 | BRF_GRA }, // 1 Sprite data

{ "252-c2_decrypted.bin", 0x800000, 0x596792ce, 3 | BRF_GRA }, // 2

 

{ "252-m1.bin", 0x020000, 0x30cc4099, 4 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, // 3 Z80 code

 

{ "252-v1.bin", 0x400000, 0xe5946733, 5 | BRF_SND }, // 4 Sound data

};

 

You noticed that the clone set "ganryun" use the p-rom, the m1-rom and the vrom of "ganryu", as "ganryu" is the parent. So to just keep "ganryun" working alone, you have to create a zip named "ganryun" with p1, m1 , v1 of the parent, and put also the two C - roms of the clone in it. You should have then a merge set.

 

I will suggest to people to keep split rom sets .

 

How is it on 1.29?

Am I able to have just ONE SIMPLE set for a game?

 

By sorting them on your PC with a rom manager or by hand.

I hate having dozens of versions of a same game.

 

I love it lol, and that's the primary goal of FBA-XXX Pro.

 

For me just one is what I need to simple ---------------- PLAY.

 

No prob, play!
