ace9094 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) I've gotten all of RX's xtras with videos for arcade. i installed coinops reignite X. there are about 1717 arcade games. However, coinops loads games very very slowly. from when i click on a game it hangs at the frozen rom browser for 20 seconds then it goes blank for 25 seconds and finally at ~50 secs to a minute the game is ready to play. also when i choose reboot xbox from the options menu it takes seemingly as long to exit out of coinops. the rest works fine! the emu loads very fast. idk. any thoughts as to why this is happening? I have a put coinops 5 xboxes for friends, This only happens on xboxes I done with standard Hard drive in, all the others I have with upgraded Hard Drives seem to run just fine. hope that helps in some way...

dballs Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 i have a 1.5 tb sata hd with adpater. so maybe yes maybe no. i suppose it could be hd related. showcase one with r5 worked fine. all other emu's load games fine.

Hmmm dunno then dbass mate, it was just an observation i noticed with stock hdd's ( ps 1.5TB, WOW i gotta get me one, but misses car in for MOT this month so its on hold gutted, still next month )
PhilExile Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Hi, I have the same exact issues and I too am using a SATA HD & RX's romset. In other versions of CoinOps, I didn't have this issue. I don't think the additional lag is caused by us storing the ROMs someplace other than the default location or the romset themselves. I tried using my original Showcase romset in the default location and the same lag was present. I do think that the issue lies with our SATA HDs, but something must have changed slightly in the code for this issue to become so pronounced. BP, is this something you could look at for us? I could help you test if necessary. Thanks,Phil
Bigby Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I made a quick Demon's Crest video at 640 x 480. Demon's Crest WMV

PhilExile Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Hmmm, its odd. Since both of use have SATAs though, I'm sure that's the part of the issue. Here is the converter I'm using: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12537 BP, could you take a peak at the launching (I think that's the name for it...) code and let us know if anything is different from previous versions of the emu that may be causing this issue? Thanks
ace9094 Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 But what about slight lag in loading on stock HDD's.... anyone with a stock HDD confirm this too?

BritneysPAIRS Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 discussed 100 times.......read previous stuff please
Mega Man (?) Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Yes, there are many Vids in the Xtras that will slowly become less and less to par.The first objective of the Xtras was to get a vid for every game... and then go back and try and upgrade some of the bad ones. Most are from emu movies, and the rest were done by Me and my team. (mostly all the rare, odd ball, and foreign games ) I assure you that the ones we have hand made for the Xtras are at least to a greater standard than the emumovies ones.Of course as technology improves, we will all want "HD/HQ" Videos and the current ones may all become obsolete. (some of these are actually pretty old, and needed the frame skip on among other performance issues just to get them made) This was not our primary concern, and I am not offended by people upgrading videos.We have already begun to do this, with some, just like yourself. BP If anyone wants to continue this effort, I am sure it will be appreciated by all.I offer this guide I made a while back: Mega Man (?)’s Guide to Making Game Preview VideosIt's not perfect, but it can help newcomers get started. Best of luck
BritneysPAIRS Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 well xtras are missing quite a few games....jap imports but cheers it looks easy with ace emulator I did about 25 in an hour or to last night but cheers megaman good luck with xtras...ill probably redo all the ones in my build pretty much to suit HD Also I may work to a diff standard.....to that tut as I can really pile though these alot fast other ways....and if I cdont get co operation ill go it alone
BritneysPAIRS Posted June 12, 2010 Author Posted June 12, 2010 OK just did another 28 .... I guess ill do about 30-50 a day so it will take about 2 weeks to complete this but they should all then be of a good standard ...as ive said I can no longer look at cores/features while doing this so this will be the next 2-3 weeks of stuff from me
