STF worked this way and it went fast and mostly smoothly.... hes missed :( although theres a feature in there for him

I'm really sorry friend but these days I'll never find the time. I know it looks like I abandoned everybody here (and at Hellsfury's place) since Ignite Standalone's Release and I'm sorry about that. I'll sure be back a day as I liked to be involved. :)

there is no black screen cospefogo your using an old build :) by looks.. there are correct widescreens aspect ratios now (also to fix aspect ratio there is alot of considerations needed that would have to be discussed like 1280p 4x3 16x9 all differ most games have there own correction in them I can sort all this stuff out and understand the code..... but to suit everyone will require 4-5 settings and this is clutter to me at present)

 

and im not asking for new features at present................. I will do in the future but at the moment im in the tiding phase so its feature locked for now

Yes yes... I am using the first Ignite release.

I had no time to hunt this new version yet.

 

Thanks for you attention, BP.

Best,

you can change the picture in the skin folder to whatever calibration picture you want cospefogo (2 skins now low def and hidef...the picture is backdrop-message.png make sure the dimensions of the pic are the deminsions you want the screensize to be....eg 640x480 or 1280x720 else it will be stretched to a diff aspect ratio)

i really dont have any suggestions concerning features as ive got everything i need now with the screen rotation and autofire.

Posted

well it has an option that can be set if game rotation is on, for Autorotate Topdown Shooters only. So pacman etc isnt rotated only games like raiden fighters 2 2000

Posted

OK who wants to test and release standalone.......... MSN me

 

*** CoinOPS IGNITE R2 ***

 

New Screenshot sizing for vert games

New only autorotoate Topdown Shooters

New Tiding up clutter options

New Hidden Options to show you Hot games or No Sound etc

Settings Tidyup

many bug fixs

new Cats

new skin engine features

New screenshots totally revamped

Redone Classics and Hot Games

Im sure I did other tweaks......

 

I will look at others features now but for me it operates how it should......this was mainly some tweaks with stuff that didnt quite work for me in Ignite

 

You will have to remove the save add a new one or do a refresh game info

 

No Dat changes yet (although that stuff is moving now :) ) so no rom changes but ive tidied 350 new games if someone wants to release it at some point.... 160 of them are

 

Stuff in the future im open 2 is and a thread will be created at sometime

 

Video Previews (have code needs to go in)

Fix Lightgun (need help I dont have lightgun)

Fix Trackball (need help I dont have trackball)

Commandline Fixup (have code)

Autofire speed options (have code and makes it better I guess but harder interface and less user friendly...so I removed)

Only allow 1 credit per x mins (have code didnt like it myself)

Redoing source to xbox standard so you dont have to compile parts for PC and parts for xbox so its like other EMUs(I did this to save me time as I dev on PC alot)

More user friendly sorting (need ideas)

Aspect ratio stuff (have code but cant make it user friendly and give all options so in the end was clutter 2 options stayed to correct for widescreen at present)

ini global keymapping (have code needs inseting)

Posted

lots of stuff has gone on and its looks like lots to come, good work BP. Looks like a lot more fixes and additions are to be worked on soon. Lots of stuff for most users. That seems very positive and definately a step in the right direction

This looks quite nice, and after playing around with it for a few hours I only have two suggestions, both of which are fairly simple.

 

[1] - It would be nice to be able to quit back to the dashboard, but I'm guessing that all dashboard software is purged from memory as Coin Ops Ignite loads as to make more room for decompressing roms... if this is the case then it would probably take as long to reload the dashboard back into memory as it would take to do an actual reboot - so I guess there is nothing that can be done about this.

 

[2] - Better docs! I, like many others playing around with XBox homebrew done always have the time to watch all of the forums so that we can gain information from the Q & A sessions when a new version is released. I still have no idea what Mame roms are supported (so far I am getting about a 30 percent success rate at best) and which version of these (I recently read that Coin Ops is based on MameoX which is in turn only based on Mame 0.84, so I guess I should be looking for an OLD torrent of Mame roms?). I am not even sure if Coin Ops supported 128MB at this point...

 

Anywhoz, as I said - very simple suggestions that would make a very ambitious project all the more polished.

 

Good work BP.

Good work BP.

You can get back to the dashboard when your in the rom select screen,just hit start and select the option.

yes coinops is based off mameox 0.84 but a lot of newer driers were added in mamedox1.1 which this is based off.basically all your neogeo,cps1,cps2 play fine and all the usual mame games.

even if you have 128mb of ram it dosent offer anything extra for mame on xbox.

there is a complete package that you can get with 1250 roms and no it isnt a torrent.

Some websites still have older romsets available for download, which work with CoinOps. Most of the ones I had working in it I downloaded from a particular site; a Nation of Roms you might say. Most from there worked fine as is, but some needed a bit of fixing with the CoinOps dat in Romcenter.

 

I'm just using FBA now which uses the latest MAME roms. They're easier to get hold of. For those I go to a site that is a Keeper of Roms. A very good site I think too.

 

If you can find the complete CoinOps package though you won't need to worry. Just take out the games you don't want. I never found the full release though, only the standalone.

Posted

Just find a full release It will save you a tonne of work and everything is tested and retested..... Ive finished 300 game patch into R2.

 

Im currently updating alot of Dats for coinops and working on my own FBA project... sp ill be away from this for a while

Posted

Care to elaborate on the FBA project?

Posted

Just rethinking the way it works like I did with Coinops plus fixing stuff thats badly done like 720P (if you use 720P option in CoinOPS you should see its better handled and automatic)

Ill add a few drivers maybe and of course reskin it and add any skinning elements needed to do this to the way I want it. Ill make sure it works with as few bugs as I can make it.
