CoinOPS 2 (old dev site)

[BritneysPAIRS]

VIDEO Anti-Aliasing now is Disable / ENABLED / Automatic and its automatic by default.... this will look at the options for scaling and will enable Anti-Aliasing when ever its not in Pixel Perfect or Pixel Perfect X it will disable Anti-Aliasing if it is

 

Pixel Perfect = exact pixels (no x2 x3 x4) etc

Pixel Perfect X = exact pixels x2 x3 x4 to fit to defined window size

 

BABE7777 is the save....ReIgnite R6 uses BABE6666

 

Vigilante = 256x256

On PixelPerfect = 256x256 on sd or hd

On PixelPerfect X = will be 256x256 on sd and 512x512 on hd

 

Shinobi = 320x224

On PixelPerfect = 320x224 on sd and hd

On PixePerfect X = 640x448 on sd 960x672 in hd unless you scaled your adjustment screen to less than 672 pixels high then it would be 448

Ok, after some tests with the new build I have some comments about the

so desirable features of PIXEL PERFECT.

 

Problem 1. When I use any of the features, the antialias does not turn off, even in games

like Moon Patrol (240x224), so I need to turn off the antialias by my own.

 

Problem 2. But the antialias is not the main problem, the real problem is that the PIXEL PERFECT

and PIXEL PERFECT X setting just present the screen on its 1X original size! It is a tiny tiny

screen centered! This is wrong, since we can't have a 320x240 screen on a 640x480

native output... We should have the games running at 2X! Moon Patrol should be presented

on 480x448!

 

And we have yet the 3rd problem. Even with screen running on its 1X (tini-tiny) the aspect

ratio is not correct. There are artifacts on the horizontal and vertical scrolling. With Jackal

is easy to notice that. In Moon Patrol too, check the mountains in the background.

 

Hey BP, can you please make the PIXEL PERFECT setting present the screen on its

original size multiplied by 2? Shinobi should be exact 640x448.

 

Thanks!

I hope to be helpful!!

Cospefogo,

 

I was able to get Pixel Perfect X working by extending the screen size. Its pretty great!

Hi BP,

 

have you ever come across this? http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=662368

 

It seems, that the Xbox is capable of outputting true low resolutions like 240p or 288p. If this is possible, it would solve a lot of the aspect ratio issues.

And you would be the first one who did something like this.

im not interested in this stuff ive moved onto HD:)

Hey hey BP...

 

Looks like I did fail on my tests, sorry.

PhilExile just told me he achieved good results with the builds

and I am very happy - although I have not made my second

round of tests yet.

 

In this afternoon, after the work, I will perform the xperiences

again. Thanks man, for you prompt work!

 

See you later!

 

Best regards,

Cospefogo.

I was wondering if anyone could take a look into why the consoles emulators fail to load off dvd. I tried editing the saves through hex editing but all the consoles emu's still lock up before they launch. Help would greatly appreciated since I and i'm sure others would like to have the option of having the emulators work off dvd. If someone would be able to look into it and edit the XBE's i could try testing them off dvd. Thankyou

you could try installing coinops to your xbox hdd and then just have the roms burned on dvdr.

then just go into the advanced settings and point the emulator to g:/roms.

this way it would read the roms from a dvd disc.

its an option to try anyway.

Hi OldOne,

 

I think the only way this can be achieved is through a hacked BIOs. As far as I know, the guys trying to get this to work never managed it. BP indirectly made a great point, if you did change the BIOs to output 240p, it may goof up HD output, crash the emulators that were never coded for this output and in general, limit the Xbox's versatility. I.E. Hooking up to SD or HD TVs with a broad range a resolution options.

 

This said, I'm a fan of 240p and its possible on Xbox, I do it myself on one of setups. Just get an Extron Emotia, a Frosty VGA cable or something like the Neoya XVGA, and read this guide: http://scanlines.hazard-city.de/

 

Once you have everything hooked up. Change output on your Xbox and emulators to 480p, then flip the switch on the Emotia to "non-interlaced" and presto, 240p.

 

I'm been doing this a few months and it works flawlessly. Also, with BP's new pixel perfect X settings it looks exactly like the arcade in CoinOps.

 

Hope this helps you out.

I'm still messing around with this is as well, but I just wanted to say that this new feature is really, really impressive. BP has added something that no other arcade emu on the Xbox can do. If I remember correctly, this is even difficult to pull off well on the PC arcade emulators.

 

BP really hit the ball out of the park on this one!

Aaah, I am still very curious!

Anxious to get home and restart the tests procedure!

But just to see you PhilExile's positive feedback I am already relieved!

 

Maybe we finally got the holy grail for Mame in hands!
