OK ill use the aspect ratio people saw in real life....not sure about saves I tested sonic 3 on mdrive and its fine....I tested supermario world and it was fine....

 

Removed restrictions on adjusting screensize to sd aspect in hd....so you can resize it to that ratio and it will still remember it...although I would just enable aspect correction for consoless button and all will be done for you

Is there a form to add two folders of screenshots and coinops read them?????

 

The problem is I have 6000 screenshots, but in a folder just can put 4096, and the others...

 

I´ve tried modify MAMEoX.ini in Tdata:

ScreenshotPath0 = d:\screenshots

ScreenshotPath1 = f:\Emulators\CoinOPS Epic R2\s2

ScreenshotPath2 = f:\Emulators\CoinOPS Epic R2\s3

ScreenshotPath3 = f:\Emulators\CoinOPS Epic R2\s4

 

But doesn't work

 

ScreenshotPath = d:\screenshots;d:\s2;d:\s3;d:\s4

 

Either works

 

ScreenshotPath = d:\screenshots;f:\Emulators\CoinOPS Epic R2\s2;f:\Emulators\CoinOPS Epic R2\s3;f:\Emulators\CoinOPS Epic R2\s4

 

 

Either works

 

Any ideas???

to fumanchu bor is in there and you gave them wrong info about connecting to xbox homebrew...tell them it is as per the readme FAQ and list of stuff is in the console supported games file

still cant figure out the SMB stuff so decided to put hard modded xbox in main living room

 

was trying with mameox too... no joy their either. I followed the intstructions in the mameox readme but still no joy. Also copinops seems to have the network settings missing and when i enter the SMB path into the roms path when i press back it freezes and i have to reset xbox

it works if you get it right....it will crash in games if there is no games in the list...its easy to fix I just keep forgetting....

 

to not get this....add a rom to coinops/roms and it will scan in a rom

 

also you will need to do all ip though the save ini :D but it does work I cant be arsed using it so Its there but not hugely supported due to speed issues as well

OK tommorrow ill work on R3 its only 1 week from delivery

 

 

Hey there BP, you've done a fantastic job on EPIC, its all come together very nice, im loving it.

 

Is there any chance of seeing the option to take screenshots of console games in R3 ?

nope...ive been thinking of removing screenshots for arcades for a long time....they are so easy to get....and why not support the epic pack and get all your games put in the right way...eg vids and cats

I have a Ver. 1.0 XBOX 120gb Maxtor Ultra DMA133 HD. Installed Evox 3935 replaced with XBMC rev17820-T3CH loaded on the E:\Apps\XBMC and using Shortcut.xbe method. Install CoinOPS Epic R2 on E:\Games\ CoinOPS Epic R2. I installed the complete file in this location and no other part anywhere else. Installed ROMs’ and artwork in respective directories. Set up a shortcut in XBMC to the CoinOPS folder. Reboot XBOX got to launch application using the CoinOPS default.xbe and I get a black screen. I have tried previous ver. of CoinOPS ignite and reignite with the same result, I have pored over every file and opened all the .ini’s to be sure that paths are correct. I have been reading for hours on end over the past week trying to make this work. I am to the point of starting over but I would like some insight on the proper way to install CoinOPS Epic R2 with XBMC as a dash. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

Reboot XBOX got to launch application using the CoinOPS default.xbe what does that mean.....need to boot xbmc then setup up the program / games folder to scan and find default.xbes on E:/Games then launch CoinOPS

I have downloaded the EPIC pack with all the games etc and like i said its awsome and its now the only emulator im using on xbox.

 

I dont use vids as i only have a 80gb hdd and ive already got xbox games on there.

 

So what ive done is added a few console games myself that were missing and that i used to use with my other emulators, ive updated the cats. But suprisingly ive been struggling getting screenshots for these games to show, so this feature would of helped me out thats all. It looks to be a bit depth issue with my screenshots as somebody kindly pointed out, but ive since give up trying to solve this as i was getting nowhere. Its only about 20 or so games but it bugs me to death when all the other 1,900 odd games have screenshots.

 

No problem then, guess ill just have to live with it, still look forward to seeing what other features / improvments you do make to R3 though. Are you still releasing a game pack, any ETA on this?

Absolute beginner speaking:

believe me, a reply like that is really precious, because there is no way to understand how Coinops works.

I had to guess that default.xbe is the main file that have to be launch to make appear Coinops main screen, because nothing about that is wrote on any readme file.

After DAYS of hunting for related docs inside this forum or Google, still I don't have idea if what I'm doing (about installing) is correct or not because who wrote about Coinops seems to be people who well know what they do and how to install it, they (rightly) focus on bugs or changes and the searching for basic docs is despersive and frustrating.

 

anyway, if I have correctly inferred these are the main steps you need to do..:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- You must have a modified Xbox (??) :D

-- Install XBMC dashboard on it (or a similar one)

-- Unpack Coinops on your computer.

-- Copy (using ftp) the Coinops main folder inside the largest partition of Xbox (in my Xbox v1.1 the largest is E: )

-- DEFAULT.XBE is the main file that have to be launch to start Coinops

-- If you want Coinops as your main dashboard you have to create a shortcut of default.xbe file ....

(the *how* is this is still a mistery here. Now I'm going to try what you just wrote above..)

...otherwise you can make it run using a file manager, moving inside E:\\Coinops folder and running default.xbe by hand (??) <_<

-- Disable the info tracking to dramatically reduce the game loading time **pressing BACK and START together** and entering in the advanced menu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

what's wrong/missing?

 

I well understand the above looks like extremly boring for who of you are use to focus on deeper sides of Coinops,

but unless the philosophy is "less than we are, better is", I hope some simple "coinops for dummies" lines will be added on the README file in next Coinops release.

I would be happy to help in this, but as you can see I still do not know how to do it, and my English is shameful.

Anyway I hope my post will be helpful for someone else, total newbie as me.

 

For everything else, I have only GREAT COMPLIMENTS to be done. Coinops is a wonderful creation to recycle the old xbox, TNX!! :(
