CoinOPS 2 (old dev site)

[(XBOX)]

Btw, still hoping someone out there can try to fix Brap boys

 

Ask IQ, alot of the new games add'd to CoinOps is done by him, hes the shit (I mean shit in a good way )...(hes prob the reason why I keep updating this emu other wise I most likely wouldnt need to...

This worked for me for X-Men

 

It works fine for me...so you there could be 2 issues I would guess

 

delete CoinOPS/nvram/xmen.nv and give it a go (its the non volitle memory and maybe its corupted)

 

or the rom is incorrrect...if you went to xtras team im aware of alot of issues with that build...

 

if you grabed the offical versions I just got 2-3 people to test it and its all good on CoinOPS_ShowROOM_X_XBOX-iND and CoinOPS_ShowROOM_X_LITE_XBOX-iND

sorry the other stuff is not tested well from what ive seen and has some issues....I need to know the exact version you have....but CoinOPS all builds will run that game just fine

 

Best of luck

[BritneysPAIRS]

delete the ram file for xmen and xexe in the nv folder...some how your non voiltile memory got changed

 

I know grrrs ftp was causing issues and some small issues slipped out....if you update to CoinOPS Inferno over the top of this it will all go....

 

you will have to update bubble booble rom to the latest mame one though

 

PS the next upload will be sfv checked

 

But honestly its worth updating to CoinOPS Inferno anyways it owns ShowROOM just overwrite it and update bublbobl.zip

[BritneysPAIRS]

I cant beleive what is happening to CoinOPS now it seems to be exploding in popularity.....the name is spreading alot and seems to now be number one talked about on mame sites....and true questions are really coming out....its fantastic people are really testing it to this point and I can see the time and attention to detail you guys are putting into your testing....

 

you guys should form a team and start adding etc and I will listen and fix everything up.....that needs it I cant do everything myslef but if you have a team thats organised ill work with you in sorting out all your issues

 

Its once again fanstatic now CoinOPS is getting fantastic reviews...and also fantastic feedback....other sites like xbox scene finally seem to be dieing and thanks to people for that I support the site but really it was just missinformation.....great to see everyone once again I look forward to more improvement in a timely manor right back to it guys

 

 

PS

 

a while ago question was about midway games running in mame.72 yes im aware of this...these games dont run in the mameb6 core due to memory im about to remove all other drivers to free memory for these other games like rampage world tour im sure you know what that will mean

[zerojay]

I was the one asking about running more Midway games on previous builds. I see what you mean when you said the games were choppy with sound.. pretty much unplayable once I figured out how to set it in romstatus.

 

I've been trying to configure the screen size for console games and it appears that the screen size set when you hit Back and White is not remembered the next time you run the game. Also, in an attempt to set the screensize for all games for one system in a single shot, I edited the ini files for Mednafen (NES) and SNES (SNES9XBox) however it appears that the files are overwritten right before the games are launched, erasing my changes to them. Will I have to wait until the scaling options in Coinops apply to the other emulator cores?

[BritneysPAIRS]

it will remember your screensize...it will only change it if you swap from hd to sd or from sd to hd as it knows the screensize would be alot diff

 

im not sure what your trying to do but I can help you via msn...

[zerojay]

Okay, here's what I am trying to do. (I would have asked over MSN, but I don't see you online.)

 

I'm playing with Coinops on an HDTV. I've added some console games to Coinops and I want them to be displayed at a proper aspect ratio. As the FAQ says, the aspect ratio options (Pixel Perfect 1X, Scaled, Stretched, etc...) only work on Arcade games right now.

 

When I try to run a console game, say Super Mario World for SNES, it plays but the screen is stretched badly and isn't in its proper aspect ratio. When I hit Back and White, I get the option to resize the screen. I resize it to look correct, then hit back to go back to the game. The game then properly plays in the screen size I set it to.

 

If I quit Super Mario World and go back to the Coinops gamelist by hitting Back and Start together and then select Super Mario World again, the game again starts up in the stretched aspect ratio that it was in the first time. The screen size I set for that game or any other console game is not remembered (but it is for all arcade games).

 

Being able to set the screen size for individual games is great, but on consoles where most games used the exact same resolution, being able to set the screensize and aspect ratio for all games for that system is most important. No one wants to have to properly set the screensize manually each time they launch a console game.

 

All the Xport emulators allow you to set a universal screensize/aspect ratio for that console in the .ini file. Knowing this, I edited the .ini files for the emulators found in the saves directory within my Coinops directory in the hopes that I could set it manually, however it appears that the .ini file is overwritten with the default options including video size before a console game selected is launched, erasing my changes and again giving me stretched screens.

 

So, is there a way to set the default core resolutions and aspect ratios so that all my console games look correct within Coinops?

 

Thanks in advance.

hmmmm maybe your right

 

if (videoFlags & XC_VIDEO_FLAGS_HDTV_720p)

{

if (m_nScreenMaxX <= 1000)

{

m_nScreenX = 32 ;

m_nScreenY = 18 ;

m_nScreenMaxX = 1216 ;// Ken Automattically setup for HD and SD

m_nScreenMaxY = 684 ;

doSaveIni() ;

}

}

else if (m_nScreenMaxX >= 800)

{

m_nScreenX = 16 ;

m_nScreenY = 12 ;

m_nScreenMaxX = 608 ;// Ken Automattically setup for HD and SD

m_nScreenMaxY = 456 ;

doSaveIni() ;

}

 

so in HD if the screen is below 1000 on the right side it will change it back to m_nScreenMaxX = 1216 is your ini lower than that? you could fool it by moving it to the right a bit so the right side is more than 1000 that will stop it going this looks like sd ill resize it....I can add pixel perfect pretty easy to Consoles and is on the list of things to do

[zerojay]

Yeah, my INI had MaxX at 897, I believe. I went into SNES9xBox and told it to give me the proper SNES aspect ratio. Because the X was below 1000 though, I decided to find some better numbers and here's what I changed:

 

screenx=128

 

screeny=18

 

screenmaxx=1024

 

screenmaxy=720

 

The INI is no longer being overwritten and it is properly centered on my screen. It's not a difficult change now that I know why the INI was being overwritten and I don't mind editing them for myself until you implement support for pixel perfect for console games.

 

I guess I'll make the ini files available to anyone that wants to do the same thing once I have them all done.

 

Thanks for the help, BP.

no worries

[Weta]

Hi guys,

 

Longtime lurker, first time poster.

Thanks for all the hard work on this emu so far, BP, in terms of presentation and ease of use it's one of the best I've ever used.

 

I'm just wondering if there's a universal .dat file for CoinOPS, or otherwise if anyone has any ideas about ROM management in general? I could go through all of my existing roms and rename them to fit CoinOPS convention, but if I could build a customised set with RomCenter or something similar that would be very helpful, and a huge timesaver.

 

Thanks again.

[jobo]

Yeah, a rom, video and screenshot renaming tool for CoinOPS would be amazing!

 

Another request. Would it be possible to enable 2-player mode on GB, GBC and GBA games?

[Nuvo]

I was wondering if anyone has tried to play Raiden 2 on Coinops. I added it to the games list, it loads but does not let you add coins. This is a great shooter to have added. Thanks again for all the help. Btw, I deleted those files and Xmen and Xexex now work great.

hmmm looks like I missed the MK2 sound update in CoinOPS Inferno R2 opppssss...it will be fixed in R3 in less than 2 weeks

[BritneysPAIRS]

ON a side note CoinOPS tracking data shows that CoinOPS is the number one tracking topic on Rx xtras site thats funny as and no more waal for a while at least....I hope he comes back and learns a little...this is the first time ive seen this stuff and never wanted.......why do people really want to push the boundries so far....but it should be alittle less cluttered with stuff now...also alot of my posts where to waal and his posts are gone so it may look a little wierd...ill post about above topics when I get back from work
