[BritneysPAIRS]

or better source videos for some of them would be great

[Mega Man (?)]

Sorry, I only have a few hundred or so random Mame videos...

(nothing I ever plan to use... especially with "showcase" put together. )

 

Why do you ask BP...?

Better source videos... I could definitely do some down the road.

 

I haven't even gotten the pleasure to see all of showcase in action yet, If there was a list or request for some videos to be remade, I could help out for sure.

[BritneysPAIRS]

ill make a list of videos for you in the weekend....if someone can get me game info for mame in txt ini or xml files I can tell you guys how to view them and ill add them to the build(only aplicable on new version of default.xbe with smooth scroll)...I wont add this stuff offically till its done right though as it will cause confusion then the pack will be part of the build I guess or at least an extras pack like the screenshot pack. I cant be arsed doing these sorry just need the source files alot seem to be in FBL.

 

******trig are you availble can you help me sort an issue with some code you will like...I forgot your MSN .....trig where are you...plus I have some stuff for you on m-unit******

[Mega Man (?)]

Cool

As far as re doing videos... I am a good man for that.

 

Game info? what info would that entail? (just name, year, manufacture, and such... or full synopsis style work...?)

[BritneysPAIRS]

the game takes control and guides you into the temple, pull diagonally

Leftdown on the joystick. Do it right and you'll get 10,000 points. Note

your time, for example, 33,330 points and 13.30 seconds, or 100.000

Awesome!

Yeah this is what I was talking about previously.

If you found a way to implement it without clutter, than that is great

 

I can make some as samples and give them to you.

Any other format preferences can be worked out after that...

 

EDIT: here is a sample of a game info I just did. (txt document)

Is there any special word wrap preparations or anything like that I need to do?

Or any other modifications?

Description
Control one of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as you battle through different time periods (prehistoric to the future) in this horizontal scrolling fighting game. The cool "3-D" effect as you throw enemies at the screen and the funny speech ("Ooh, forgot the sunscreen!") make this game memorable.

Trivia
The pizza-munching turtles originally appeared in a black and white comic book that debuted in 1984. They were so popular that they immediately spawned imitators with colorful names such as "Armor-Plated Adolescent Aardvarks!" and "Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters". A cartoon series based upon the Turtles' adventures debuted in the United States on the CBS television network in 1987.

The first names of turtles -- Michaelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo, and Donatello -- are the names of Italian Renaissance artists who lived between 1386 and 1564. Three of those artists had full names which were respectively Michaelangelo Buonariti, Raphael Sanzio and Leonardo Da Vinci, but as for Donatello, that was his only name.

it works exactly the same as help file...adjust that and you will see how it all works....think thats help.txt.

Anything like that I guess is all good....just need to match at least 1200 games before I add it to showcase and maybe 1800 :S

[Mega Man (?)]

I plan on cleaning up the format and maybe arranging them differently as far as what info comes first and such.

 

Sorry BP... "help file" maybe my mind is going blank... what help file are you talking about?

Some way to test them along the way would be nice.

[BritneysPAIRS]

just change the CoinOPS/media/help.txt file then press start and "select buttons and features" this is the same code im using....I can supply a source early next year on new forums...that I need to control to move forward, this stuff as you have seen causes more issues than constructive help although people think harrasment and false statements will help me out....they dont help me see proper ways to do stuff and move forward normally I just want the stuff thought about (messure twice and cut once)...

 

 

I would like to see ini stuff cleaned up as well as the offical history.dat was to messy for me to want to add.

[Mega Man (?)]

Gotcha BP

 

That official history.dat is pretty crazy...

 

I'll get working on these and let you know when I have made sufficient amounts.

[BritneysPAIRS]

cool.... I can adjust the sources a little to match stuff correctly later
