Hey BP...

[BritneysPAIRS]

One final time.....I know theres a million questions...I know of the download demands that CoinOPS is probably the strongest....

 

But we have to face facts....DEV HERE IS POINTLESS AND YOUR HELPERS DONT GIVE YOU HELP BUT MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO SIMPLE THINGS WITHOUT WAY TO MUCH GRIEF..I HAVE TO DISCUSS MISSINFORMATION...STUPID FACTS...ETC AND JUSTIFY THINGS I KNOW ARE NOT CORRECT WHEN IT WONT MATTER ANYWAYS...MY BUILD IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR BUILD DUE TO FACTS...YOURS IS JUST PATCHS OF STUFF FROM MY BUILD.....I LEFT XBOC SCENE FOR THE SAME REASON AND NOW ITS SIMLAR HERE....NO REAL WORK CAN HAPPEN HERE....SAME AS XBOX SCENE I SEE ALOT OF WRONG INFO ABOUT COINOPS THERE ALOT BUT NO ONE WANTED MY COMMENTS SO NOW I REMOVED MYSELF FROM THERE PERMANANTLY.... if you want proper support I need proper support...find a proper dev place or else CBA and his friends can help you....and so far ive seen no help on little things from them.....people dont even know how easy it is to fix little things in FBL and other EMUs that im not part of...alot of the questions like parent video/pics are in my sources and sorted out

[ressurectionx]

Like I said.

 

I found a whole bunch that doesn't work right in CoinOPS R5 and fixed it for myself where I could.

 

I'm having a hard time figuring out how some of this stuff supposedly worked in previous builds when it doesn't now.

 

 

Take it or leave it man. There was a lot of testing that I've done here and things that should be added and changed for future releases. The spreadsheet will be there when you decide to do this, but I won't be around.

Hello,

 

I can help you test this as well. I think what your saying here would work. In my experience, simple is better. I have some ideas on how the user interface could work with this implementation, but have a few questions for you. I sent you a message via MSN, so IM me when you get a moment.

 

Thanks again

 

 

Answer to Cospefogo....ive looked at this but no one would discuss the issues...and in truth theres some tech difficulities and needed tester etc to make this happen as id never test it right....spend a full day with me build testing and debugging and it will have one option and one only ..... Run game at native resolution and center = Enable/Disable (might allow it running 2x in 720p)

[BritneysPAIRS]

No worries RX it does take alot of time to setup mame correctly and some knowedge thats for sure..... cheers for the spreadsheet and good luck with your new stuff

 

Phil I MSNed you

[ressurectionx]

Cool man. Good luck to you and thanks for the emulator.

 

Hopefully the spreadsheet is of use and you can get more games officially supported someday using it.

 

I may come back now and again to see if you got Allowance Mode or the 2player alternating on old games.

Ok, ok then!

 

Let me become part of the testing crew for this feature.

I want to collaborate on it. It is a really important matter to me.

Is your MSN still the same?

 

NATIVE SCREENSIZE + CENTERED will be a bless!

Could anybody tell me where the file is that I need to rename a rom in the emu?

 

Some games need to be renamed. For example, I have both Tapper and Root Beer Tapper on my system. Unfortunately, the emu displays both as just "Tapper".

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT:

 

I also want both 2 and 4 player versions of TMNT I & II and the Simpsons and I'll probably need do that for them too.

I think remember for TMNT I & II you must go in the arcade game setings to activate the 4p option.

I know, it is really stupid for some games it is not by default ... i don't know if it possible to made it by default

if ($remember == 'well') { $file == '/save-dir/catver.ini'; }

else { $file == 'I-can't-be-sure...'; }

 

Jokes apart, I think it is on the catver.ini file.

Or in the romlist file, both in the E/TDATA/COINOPS-SAVE-DIR/

 

Other file that has a huge collections of names inside it is the MAMEOX.XBE,

but on this one you will need to go by HEX EDITING.

 

Best,

Cospefogo.

[BritneysPAIRS]

naming cant be done except via sources....I think dark is on crack with that info

[ressurectionx]

I could probably hex edit though, right? That sounds like it would work.

 

I don't want to alter much.... Just one of the TMNT games, The Simpsons and Root Beer Tapper.

[BritneysPAIRS]

cant hex edit it sorry as the name is longer....you can change all the avilible letters

[ressurectionx]

Guess I'll have to do that then. Gotta have something differntiating between Tapper and Root Beer Tapper especially.

 

Maybe you could add these changes in your current code, even though it's not going to do me any good?

[BritneysPAIRS]

if you want ill do you a build

itemise the name changes.....and sensitivity changes.....give me the roms,pics...videos cfg...nvs....ill make the changes and give you the xbes+extra support files

 

if you msn I could show you the stuff you missed...etc

 

also fixing the stuff NES said is easy as you can see...i love the way people say its impossible and I cant code but I fixed it in mins when asked as the first video support didnt support this..the next version did though

[ressurectionx]

I'm not going to say anything else about the FBL situation except I appreciate your support on the idea that it can be done. I might not be book smart, but I do know a bit about the general workings of things and with all the time I put into this project, I can't imagine that if somebody with skills wanted to get it done that they couldn't.

 

This is nothing more than a tale of desire, and the lack thereof....

 

That's all I'm saying though because we both know 2 weeks from now we could be locking horns just like that ourselves

 

 

I appreciate your offer.

 

PM me your MSN again. I think I have it, but I want to be sure.

 

I'm really busy putting the finishing touches on the Xtras console packs right now and doing all the upload prep stuff. Some of that has large gaps of time though where I have things zipping and/or torrentzipping and/or uploading and/or converting from jpg to jpg and/or converting from large size to the "ideal" no-larger-than-318-px-wide-or-tall-for-artwork packs and/or creating datfiles and/or creating cut files.......... LOL

 

I don't blame you if you skimmed over that paragraph. It had to be boring. It's basically my memoirs of the last 2-4 years.

 

Anyways.... I may have some free time to sit and discuss things with you, and if they aren't too difficult or time consuming we may be able to help each other.

 

We'll be in touch,

~Rx
