Coinops Discussion

[run088]

Since you have a arcade cab which is not a very mobile unit you can stream your roms from your pc if you want this is what I do. In the same file I pointed you to there is network settings if you set them correctly and use this structure it will work

 

 

 

SMB://WORKGROUPNAME/COMUTERNAME/PATHTOSHARE

 

 

 

Has to be this structure. It will not work for me unless the path look like this. On older builds of mame non coinops you could only point to one folder or the roms would not load but on coinops you can point to 4 different folders if you want and it works flawless "samba anyway".

500GB harddrive means not having to worry about space Still thats useful information for the vertical cocktail I'm working on. I plan on just leaving the stock drive in there and streaming music and stuff from the network when its used as a jukebox.

[run088]

Might get you around the folder restriction so you will not have to lose any of your rom set. Ext2, ext3, or ntsf should not suffer from the folder restrictions. I would not think.

Got it sorted. Thanks to all for the help. It all sounded familiar but I've never had to deal with so many roms at once.

 

I've got too many previous installs of coinops to tell which save file I needed to edit so I put half the roms in the default folder and specified the other half in another folder in the advanced options.

 

With the other videos I've converted almost all the games have a video to go with them and I have only come across a couple that have no screenshot.

 

Question for DOA: Will the SNES games play on a rotated screen?

[BritneysPAIRS]

no SNES and Megadrive wont support rotation...or alot of stuff...they just play

 

They are both in and fully going

 

Just need to add the games...then maybe look at adding in some features...but everything launchs and plays in GUI now

 

 

Any idea how long the driver list is away?

[run088]

The program I pm'ed you about is almost ready to go. There is a couple things he needs to fix for me but it will make both list in a matter of 30 seconds with only the year info to be added. I also asked him to make the system name selectable right now it only says Super NES or whatever.

 

I should be finished up with the snes list tonight. I was hoping the program was finished already so I did not have to finish the list manually. I already got all the year info but it should not take me to long to patch the rest of the display names by hand.

 

 

The app is already available for download so people can make there own preferred rom names but it needs more work at the current time. You can get it at xbox-scene in the emulator section in the thread called XBMC shortcut creator it will be packaged with that app on future releases.

 

Run the py file the same way you run it for the regular shortcut creator or the new bat that is included to run on the pc to generate your rom list. Put the generated txt file in the folder you have the app in then run the mameconfig executable file and it will generate an output folder with 2 text files inside one for the driver list and one for the other list.

added

 

theres actually more that needs to be created

 

a list like so

 

<Rom name="ActRaiser" version="?">

<Status></Status>

<StatusNumber>0</StatusNumber>

</Rom>

<Rom name="Aladdin" version="?">

<Status></Status>

<StatusNumber>0</StatusNumber>

</Rom>

<Rom name="Axelay" version="?">

<Status></Status>

<StatusNumber>0</StatusNumber>

</Rom>

 

just driver names

 

and

 

ROM_START( PrinceofPersia )

ROM_END

 

ROM_START( Sparkster )

ROM_END

 

ROM_START( PockynRocky )

ROM_END

 

ROM_START( PockynRocky2 )

ROM_END

 

ROM_START( SuperBomberman )

ROM_END

 

with the driver names

 

its a bit of work to patch in every game

[run088]

I think I can get him to make the bat file to do both these task to. Is there any other lists that need created so I can ask him about it?

 

The list shouldn't be to different than the other 2 list as far as generating the text both these list are just insert object into the exact same text here. I think that the bug right now is when it tries to remove the spaces from the name. The game name field comes out perfect everytime its only where it kills the spaces that the problem appears.

 

So let me get this straight

 

 

<Rom name="DRIVERNAME" version="?">

<Status></Status>

<StatusNumber>0</StatusNumber>

</Rom>

 

 

 

and

 

 

 

ROM_START( DRIVERNAME )

ROM_END

 

 

Both are driver names not game names right?
