cba.gy Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Out of this world news that BP. Yes i do understand XBMC skin engine. So thats what youve decided for this emulator then. I must admit i was dissapointed when it was voted against those months back. Opens up doors for animations too, transition effects oh yes. PS. Did you have to pay for those videos for CoinOps ? Edited November 16, 2009 by cba.gy
BritneysPAIRS Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 yes I did buy access and developed some tools to do everything automattically.... some one else made all of them in the bit ratios and sizes I required both small and large that took about 2-3 days of 100percent CPU but was done within a working week so we have them all now, dev tools to converted both sets sd and hd to match Showcase roms and grab the pics from full sets....so all I have to do it select a set of roms and it will collect all the extras for me and assemble it to a package..... theres a hidden package loader so I can make it one rar file at sometime ill add it in so I it can be used by others with packs in mind
cba.gy Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 Im guessing you havent seen them running in HD. They are stretched across the rom list dialogue so therefore distorted. However i may have the SD versions of the videos that came with a showcase pack weeks back.
BritneysPAIRS Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 sorry no idea what your talking about I only run in HD also vids are 640x480 or so in showcase have all the 320x240 ones but they look bad. I dont care about aspect ratios myself any skinner can change that in seconds
jantony Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 I just gave a cousin of mine a modded xbox, FBA, CoinOPS and a few other emus I installed for him. He loves CoinOPS, the simplicity of it with the videos and the amount of games he can play got him hooked. He just wanted me to say thank you for him and that your emu is the S*@T. . Keep up the good work BP and Iq.
darknior Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 Hi I know it is compicated at this moment for BP ... BIG war over the FORUM ...And you tell us to not ask it ... But really, for know ... will you release the last update version "CoinOPS reignite R4 SHOWCASE upgrade" with the last drivers games add and videos ... ? Thanks for the workbye
jantony Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Hey BP, if your going to go the way of xbmc, could you do more of a pm3hd skin. Its a sexy little skin.
BritneysPAIRS Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 sorry guys.....ive lost alot of interest lately especially in the release or talking about release side and been busy with other stuff, im getting a bit of help fixing some driver at present for myself really as I want a few games with speed, midway is being improved along with cps2 by some old school dev but otherwise ive got other stuff I need to do. As ive said others can help you guys if not im not really discussing ways forward at present skin im using at present isnot PM3 sorry its this
jantony Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Oooh, even better..... I like it. Is that transparency? Sometimes you have to backup and take a look at things before you can move forward, your quality speaks for itself. Hope to see it before I deploy, thanks for the sneak peak.
BritneysPAIRS Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 skin isnt availble its by me but concept was Emilo and alot of source graphics from Djh
Enkak Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) I continue to like the CoinOPS skin personally (besides one or two smaller things that i've written before). It gives a distinct look and personality to the emulator and works very well for what's intended and fits the design and philosophy of the games it plays. Maybe i'm in the minority, but i like it way more than that xbmc stuff. In the end it's all a matter of personal taste i guess. Edited November 18, 2009 by Enkak
BritneysPAIRS Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 CoinOPS will run under both my GUIs also you can launch oldschool gui from the new school gui as an emulator like xbmc of course can. to be honest though the project scope is now just what I want in and how I want it to run....theres so much potential but anything I dont want in it I removed it as clutter. Im kind of enjoying getting back to roots of my design for myself. But I can work with people independantly of my project for a better driver core that would help both parties as im leaving you guys to others help really. Its nice to just work like the old days and im really starting to cross over to it now...as each day goes on and seeing that being a developer is just silly these days I will developement pure and simply for me and my friends xboxs based on a non compromised what I like ideals. (everyone knows the reasons why ive spelt them out....im not even going to help actually with support anymore or telling people about silly stuff people are saying ill let them help you guys even if I think its silly hey its up to you guys and your communities to sort it out for yourselves really I know what I think, as promised many times I wont be returning to public dev unless the state of forums is better and clearly I would disagree with that at present. The decession to leave the community to support itself was nothing to do with any threats or wants of people here etc more the fact that really its your guys fight now and im happy to completely leave it up to you guys as stated many times I personally believe its in a bad way but its not for me to change this and its only really taking me backwards...its back to the old school ) Peace brothers
Enkak Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Interesting the choice of launching with both GUis. I like that. Choice is good. Personally, i'm satisfied with CoinOPS at the moment. Of course you have those usual small things like some of the ones me and others suggested and thought, or more drivers support, but for now the emulator works good and it's in a 'final' (notice the commas) state for me. Regarding the other subject, i agree with that on most parts like we've talked before. Develop outside the public eyes, release it later or not if you wish, but let the public part on foruns for the users to deal. You can check the topics they create the same, see if they find some bugs for example and so on, and reply or not if you wish, to some question you decide to answer if no one does it before and ignore the flames, troll baits and try to do yourself the same, not doing that. A good example, of many good ones, is the recent thread created on XS regarding Surreal compability list, where people are helping eachother to create an ini file with good settings for all the games, because not only people like to help and create something for the community, but also because it will help the developer later too, without the need for him to have all that trouble. That's where you can focus, because that's positive, like the feedback and input you will see for the recent Final Burn Legends too for sure. You just have to filter what you want to read and deal with. Edited November 18, 2009 by Enkak
