Kao Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Well. I have the emulator and the right rom. It still dosen't work. I mean when I open winkawaks loader, ssv is in the game list. I try rescaning all my games but ssv dosen't appear in my "Available" Game list. I try loading it but nuthin happens. Here's exactly what's in the ssv.zip file ssv_v1.romssv_v2.romssv_v3.romssv_v4.romssv_c1.romssv_c2.romssv_c3.romssv_c4.romssv_c5.romssv_c6.romssv_c7.romssv_c8.romssv_m1.romssv_p1.romssv_s1.rom So yeah, they are all here in the zip file. That means I have the right rom. So how come it says" Can't find ssv_p1.rom" when that file is in the zip file? All those data files are in the rom.
Agozer Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) I don't know if this helps much, but check that the CRCs of the roms match those found in the DAT. This is much more down james' alley really. Edited January 1, 2004 by Agozer
Agozer Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) CRCs...? DAT? What the heck are those???When you open the WinZip window, you should see a row named CRC...If not, goto Configuration and check the CRC box there. Now you should see the CRCs of the files inside the ZIP. Now, open up your SSV DAT with Notepad and maybe you'll see something like this: (This may not be entirely accurate) %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% System: NEORomName: samsho5Game: Samurai Shodown 5 (Epic Center Romset) [Program]ssv_p1.rom,0,800000,8A86C728,0 [Text]ssv_s1.rom,0,20000,33227D62,0 [Z80]ssv_m1.rom,0,20000,18114FB1,0 [samples]ssv_v1.rom,0,400000,6849136C,0ssv_v2.rom,400000,400000,222E1774,0ssv_v3.rom,800000,400000,CD9E7ADC,0ssv_v4.rom,C00000,400000,8B305CAC,0 [Graphics]ssv_c1.rom,0,800000,4E7BDEA1,0ssv_c2.rom,1,800000,7B444985,0ssv_c3.rom,1000000,800000,8C709A9B,0ssv_c4.rom,1000001,800000,CFD53F5C,0ssv_c5.rom,2000000,800000,C026D318,0ssv_c6.rom,2000001,800000,B3D9D204,0ssv_c7.rom,3000000,800000,FE03A025,0ssv_c8.rom,3000001,800000,89DB2D34,0 [system]CartridgeID: 270GfxCrypt: 0GfxKey: 0ButLayout: 9Fix: 0 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% The 8 or so numbers before the last ',0' are the CRCs of each file recognized by the DAT.

Captain FuKu Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) Hey everyone. My first post here, and... Well, I'm ready to get flamed. See, whenever I try to download the individual roms from that spanish site, the link changes -- or is it redirects? -- to some "network.vizit.us" crap. There's like a user agreement contract, members area, login, and it starts downloading some "vizit us" application crap. Now, I've look through the past posts in this thread and it's made no mention of this, so I'm assuming I'm the only one with this problem. Well I assumed maybe I needed to first register on that site before I could start downloading anything, so that is what I did and I got the same results. Either way, I'm lost and I'm spanish illiterate. I could just download the whole thing in one big zip file from another site, but I'm on dialup and this would take me well over five hours -- not to mention the likely possibility of repeatedly getting cut off. Is there any other site from which people can download the individual roms or I can only get them from that spanish site? On a side note, though I've got the right version of NRX to play this rom, won't I also need to have the Bios files? Where would I download the Neogeo Bios? As to my emulation history, it's pretty pathetic. Though I do have a very general understanding of using roms and such. I have used zsnesw, FBA, Neorage-x, visualboy advance, etc. in the past without too much problems however. Well...thanks for whatever answers you can provide. P.S. oops...I think the bios already came with that latest NRX emulator. They're the files that are in the neogeo folder which is in the ROM folder, correct? Also, if I were to try and download the whole thing from http://3x3x.com/kof/samsho5.zip do the roms work in NRX and include the correct P rom or whatever, or would I have to go about manually changing names? Edited January 1, 2004 by Captain FuKu
Agozer Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) You have two methods: 1. Put the BIOS files (the plain files) to the same directory where you have the Neoragex.exe file. 2. Compress the BIOS files to a ZIP file named "neogeo.zip and put that ZIP into the NeoRAGEx roms folder. Edited January 1, 2004 by Agozer
Agozer Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 (edited) Um...ok....well I went on confugaritions and there's nuthin special there besides a a few options in the Columns.That's right. You have to check the little CRC box in the Columns group for the CRCs to show up. Edited January 1, 2004 by Agozer
Captain FuKu Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Here's an update: Decided to just download the whole thing from that 3x3x place. It didn't take as long as I imagined, and completed the download just under four hours. Anyhow, next I checked the roms to find that they were all bin files. Since I want to play it using the NRX emulator (yeah, I got the latest one; the one with the password and all) I created a separate zip folder and put all the roms there after renaming all the files to ssv_"whatever".rom Then I named this folder "samsho5" and placed it where I put my other neogeo roms. Finally, after opening the emulator, I set the rompath under directories. Next, I hit "import", and I find that all my other neogeo roms become available on the list... However, yup, samsho5 is no where on the list. WTF?! Damn, there must be something wrong with the roms or something cuz the darn thing is not picking up! So close, yet so far. Sorry to be a bother guys, but what is the problem here? Does it matter whether the renamed roms are lower case or capitalized? Is it something wrong with the p rom?
Captain FuKu Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Um...sorry, I guess I should have added more details. Yes, I know that it's supposed to appear on the bottom of the list, but this is not happening. Anyhow, I was wondering if it had something to do with the p1 rom and so I checked the CRC or whatever it's called. Now, correct me if I'm wrong but the correct p1 rom has CRC number of 611A6887, right? Well, mine has 611A6687 -- notice the 6 when it should be 8. So perhaps this is the source of the problem? I dunno, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to these things. Is there a way which I can change the number or do I need to find the correct p1 rom. Man...this is fustrating. Besides the spanish site listed earlier in this thread, I don't know where else I may download that p1 rom individually. Again, as mentioned earlier, nobody else seems to have a problem with that site, but I don't know what's going on nor what the problem is whenever I try to download from there. So, is there someplace where I can get this p1 rom individually?

Captain FuKu Posted January 1, 2004 Posted January 1, 2004 Agozer: Thanks for the offer. I'll consider it, but I don't want to be a burden so I'll search for the rom on my own for a little while. But if I have no luck (which is most likely), check this thread and I may give you a notice to check your PM. I used to have AIM, till my computer recently crashed and had to recover everything. Don't have experience with ICQ, so email seems more likely. BTW, I won't be online for like the next 15 - 20 hours or so -- gotta do the daily routines, ya know.

You have to check the little CRC box in the Columns group for the CRCs to show up. I clicked on it but I don't know where they should show up. I wen't on Winzip classics and there were not CRCs, just the plain old rom files of ssv. The only diffrent thing about those files is that now they are in Note pad format. Does that mean anythin?? When I'm on winzip classics, there is a column on the left named CRC, it shows a few numbers for each file. Edited January 1, 2004 by Kao
