BritneysPAIRS Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 and testing will finish in the next 24hours....then ill talk about release and ps I dont get reported bugs with my full builds(rarely if ever) and theres a good reason for that theres another hint for you guys that want help.....CoinOPS 2 will come out in one form and one form only and ill support and upgrade it....ill know the state of it and everything around it.... to those that talk about two many builds...people like dballs ask for a feature like speeding up the saving before playing a game...I spend time to add it....next due to it being completed and people want it I release it for people...every build has something done or more often alot done and fixes or adds something...sometimes its drivers, sometimes gui,sometimes features, sometimes cores, sometimes control fixes, sometimes game info, sometimes, video support, sometimes 720p support the list goes on and on....but every build gets stuff....if you look at the change log and decide I dont need that stuff wait till a build that has a feature in you want....ive worked with xbmc quite alot and release all the time...people dont complain about it...and some wait for point releases where we do a bug bash.....well CoinOPS 2 is the point release all other builds are work in progress and you dont have to get them...thats why I dont release just the changes changes, I release the whole emu so no older files are needed....just to clear a point .... im doing whats right and giving you 2 weekly snapshots of a moving project....its up to you when you upgrade and how.... also CoinOPS 2 will make things different support wise for me due to misinforation ill controll that my end with some changes, it will just be update packs from CoinOPS 2 base so you will require CoinOPS 2 to upgrade...and yes there will be anti misinformation locks that nearly everyone that voted wont notice...2 levels will happen low level altering will be blocked...hi level altering well one can only wait for x time or plays and see but rest asured you wont know straight away..... peace and next will come the release...normally another painfull part....remember I dont release it ...others do...the time is close for this now....expect it will be a week or two before its in peoples hands due to the size
jrvmc Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 ...and yes there will be anti misinformation locks that nearly everyone that voted wont notice...2 levels will happen low level altering will be blocked...hi level altering well one can only wait for x time or plays and see but rest asured you wont know straight away.....You can be fine to do what you like with your code -- but when adding blocks with questionable behaviors to enforce your vision of how we should and shouldn't play the games -- it is the unfortunate direction for CoinOps. This behaviors echo the sayings of "cutting nose to spit the face". I will not upgrade into this version because of it -- but hope for no strange locks someday so i can use CoinOps again.

I was really looking forward to CoinOPS 2 but I'm not upgrading to something with locks.
BritneysPAIRS Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 dont care...if people dont want it thats all good....untill I can stop misinformation ill do it though code....im not supporting the rubbish ive seen and I can stop it....and the 85 percent of voters wont notice the diff at all....they can add 1000s of games if you want and delete stuff at will and customise it the same.....if you try and nuke it down by 1000 games it simply wont work.......if you want it solved like the last time the people pushing misinformation will have to step aside....like the other times...its the same people but clearly I move forward with or without locks.... the locks are there to save me time.....and will do so.... testings finished....non locked versions will be availbe to friends tommorrow.....then ill code the locks and publish the new version for anyone that wants it.....if not CoinOPS 1 is dam good not a bad place to end it all the other answer is to keep it private till a better solution can be found....and bring to light project 2

ace9094 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Hey BP looking forward to the next release so I can upgrade my cab my machine is 99.9% done and running Coinops on it is like a dream to play... EVERYONE who has had a go loves it and wants one !!!! I still need to get some side art printed if you can assist with a virtical hi res image of the logo... My friend is lending me his HD camcorder so footage will appear soon and pictures of the process !

Annihilitor Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 BP, what do you think about putting your locks up for a vote and letting the people decide if they want it included or not? I understand your concerns for doing it but like so many others I can see it being a hindrance for a lot of folks. Thanks mate!
BritneysPAIRS Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 locks comply with the vote 85 plus percent of voters will not notice a things...the locks have been constructed around what people voted for
BritneysPAIRS Posted April 18, 2011 Author Posted April 18, 2011 private build is nearly ready....ill let you know when its done.... public build will be talked about who wants it tonight also features...if no one wants it with the restrictions that all consoles cant be removed then I wont both with the process...people I know are fine with it anyways....
ace9094 Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Ill roll with whatever If I dont want consoles I just wont play them
PhilExile Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 The locks BP is putting in won't stop CoinOps from working the way it always has. I believe its only intention is to make it that you cannot delete roms.
Cosmonaut Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 The locks BP is putting in won't stop CoinOps from working the way it always has. I believe its only intention is to make it that you cannot delete roms. Which prevents those of us with factory hard drives from enjoying the latest updates. Unless of course I could stream everything from my Server.
PhilExile Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Oh, that's a good point. I think it does Samba well though.
