CoinOPS 2 (old dev site)

[Shibathedog]

well here are my suggestions

 

As far as what games to add, you should probably start a new thread that is kept clean. One of those threads where the only thing that should really be posted is suggested game additions and keep the discussion to this thread. This way it will be easier for you to look through. Maybe do the same for features/etc. or keep that in this thread as well.

 

For people who are upgrading/downloading when it is all finished you should probably do what you did last time. Release a FULL and a LITE. In addition to this an UPGRADE where it is all the new files/games and people who already have Showroom can simply drag this over the showroom directory and it will overwrite everything that has changed/add everything that has been added for a simple upgrade. I guess depending on how this is done there might have to be an UPGRADE FULL and an UPGRADE LITE. It's a lot of stuff to upload true, but it makes upgrading so easy that anyone could do it. Then for those that don't have the original they can just download the full packages.

 

OR since the full/lite packages are already uploaded in a bunch of places for showroom (It really isn't hard to find at all, coinops has exploded in popularity, very impressive and congratulations), you could even ONLY release the upgrades, requiring the user to first download showroom full or lite, then download the corresponding gameroom full/lite upgrade pack to get gameroom. This would cut down on uploading significantly. This shouldn't be too hard for people to figure out either.

 

Please let me know if I have been unclear on anything here. Its a long story but I've had quite a rough day and quite a bit to drink. Probably why I was so confused about this earlier, that and initial excitement

Quick question for anyone who might know.

 

What version of MAME (or MAMEoX) is running the MAME roms? I would love to try and add some more of my favorite Arcade games to the new version but I see no DAT file for compiling purposes.

 

TIA

yes ill make a new thread soon about the new team....id like a new project manger ive done the majority or the work but trackiing project although easy is needed as I add stuff daily and people recommend stuff more than dailty

 

Im glade to see the massively positive response this is getting although its limited in game features the GUI and playing of anything though one interface is great for those that want it

[zerojay]

Something that I think would be helpful is the clarification of how XBox games are handled. It really wasn't very obvious to me that the shortcut XBE's needed to be in the Coinops root directory. It took me a while of moving them around before I finally figured it out, so having that clarified would be a great change for the Readme.

[BritneysPAIRS]

sure but its exactly as it says no folder why people guess its roms when it clearly says nothing about putting it in roms. It is eactly as it says it is....but anyone can tell people its the root folder /XBOX_Gamename.xbe

Hey BP!

 

Excellent job on the newest release!

 

I have a few questions though:

 

1. Is there a way to speed up the GBA emulation or is this due to the xbox hardware? Games like Advance Wars have some pretty significant slowdown...

 

2. I think it might be cool to have the game title on the screen while the Screen Shot screensaver is running... I'm watching it now and wondering what game I just saw

 

3. I know I've said this before, but I'd really like to have SMB support for movies and console games... not sure how hard this would be... for those stuck with a stock HDD this would be a Godsend!

 

4. Again... AWESOME job dude! Thanks for all your hard work. I appreciate it SO much!

 

Beau

[BritneysPAIRS]

im looking into that stuff after....SMB isnt to hard to add I dont think, was thinking of putting an option to show game overlay on picture or video screensaver....the same one that is on the from page with manufacture year title and times played and blackbackground...

[momaw27]

Cool, thanks man!

[Xbox Junkie]

haven't got round to trying it yet, but just wondering with the other cores that are running in this from other peoples

emulators -md,snes,n64 etc- does coinops run those games any better than using the new madmab emus?

i know they are all under the same hood in this one, but are those cores you are using from older builds of the other emus?

did you manage to get the new gui you were talking about going yet?

[BritneysPAIRS]

no they wont run better....less features...just better sorted better managed and all in the same emu....pretty much run the same but everything is automatically handled....like switch from 720p to 480i/p is automatic all other emes you have to readjust the screen and set it to other res in the emu...mine looks and goes 720p is availbe resize it for them as it was at 480...stuff like that is the differences the core its self is pretty much the same one xport did

 

XBMC interface / gui is in BETA but all going

[Xbox Junkie]

thanks for the reply. i will a have a go on it soon.

i saw some examples you posted awhile back of a new looking gui, that looked good, with stret fighter backgrounds.

also, is it easy to do a skin for this? i mean, a friend of mine was showing me some photoshop, and i would

like to give it a go, might take ages thou.

[jobo]

Could someone pm a link to the 15 GB showroom pack? I downloaded it before, but removed lots of roms which I now regret, and can't seem to find a working torrent anywhere. Thanks!

[BritneysPAIRS]

new GUI is 10 times better than the street fighter stuff you have seen...that one is easy to do now....this one is as hard as skinning XBMC..and the new reskin is the bit that will take the longest as its is really the GUI

[BritneysPAIRS]

OK to everyone that wanted this

 

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QYG3AQ5S

 

its the - Supported ARCADE Games Lookup For Naming of Roms.txt

 

it gives you all the name of the Arcade games the same as the console games names....its 5164 titles for the arcade

 

fumanchu id say you to would be interested in this....theres lots of hacks etc hidden in there that ive added

[Jodo901]

Thanks for posting about pointers fumanchu, I saw that and just snagged it. Then later when I read about it in the "- Readme and FAQ" it made sense to me right away so I understand how to make pointers.

 

And thanks for the quick response about the MAME core.

 

 

Now of course I have another question...for anyone capable of answering it

 

How do I (or can I) get properties up for changing the controls on any given MAME game? I can pull up "cheats" but that is all I see. OR is there any way

for me to create cfg files for a given game? I'm trying to fix the controls for Star Trek, which is running fantastic...but the controls are screwy.
