CoinOPS 2 (old dev site)

[lins]

BP, you're doing a great job with Coinops! thanks!

I have one question: i have a lot of Super Mario World (SNES) hacks and they aren't in the list of coinops. Is there anyway i add them?

[BritneysPAIRS]

nope not at present....thats why people needed to beta test it and give me the names...I added over 50 import or hacks that where not in the xtras list...

[BritneysPAIRS]

you can remove the xbes if you wish Neo369 it will save you about 20megs id say just dont try and launch any console or handled games or it will only reboot

If BritneysPAIRS gets around to adding the feature that lets us lock .XML settings for each game, you *should* be able to set auto fire for the games that need it without having to mess with it again. Would this be an acceptable workaround for you?

well, i dont need autofire...its just nice sometimes to turn it on if i want it. if it never happens it never happens, i just like autofire cuz im lazy

[BritneysPAIRS]

use hk 128 version it has the kind of autofire you will like..you can set it up via the ingame osd

Can't argue with that.

With one caveat: He must be willing to give up features in CoinOPS that aren't present in hk 128. IIRC, hk's last release is quite dated. What if he wants auto fire in Boogie Wings? Is that game even compatible with hk 128? Pixel perfect mode isn't there either, which means he'd be stuck playing games with unnecessary blur.

oh well its coded for the normal user not special occassion types of user so I wont be putting this in...the click buttons are the perfect place to put this feature....I tried a few other types of autofire including like hk just copying it from mame32 sources but I didnt like it done like this so I rethought about how I wanted autofire in and for me its exactly how I want it to work

[BritneysPAIRS]

no hidef...no autoroation...so much is missing...... but he will get history.dat

Brit, what do you have against flexibility? Seriously. I totally understand releasing CoinOPS with your preferred defaults (they're fine I think), but not everyone uses an Xbox controller to play arcade games. I myself own a HRAP and a Magic Box. The HRAP and Saturn controllers are far superior to the stock Xbox controllers, imo. So is Neo's setup.

 

I imagine also that he prefers to use CoinOPS over the dated hk release which is a compliment to the hard work you've put in it. It's just that you label everyone else normal users, when the truth of the matter is that there are plenty of users who own high quality controllers that they'd like to use with CoinOPS.
