Question about state of xbox arcade emulation

[visualdef]

Hey guys. I appreciate all the hard work you guys have been doing for the xbox. I took a break from my xbox a few years ago and I'm delighted to see it back in full swing.

 

I have a couple of questions for you guys.

 

Has there been or is there an emulator in progress that is porting mame over past the version 0.84 that I have in MAMEdox currently?

 

Also I was wondering, does FBL, coin ops, or any of the other current acive development into arcade plan to support and emulate Mystic warriors based-hardware or the Namco NB-1/ NB-2 for the xbox?

 

Mystic Warriors based-hardware

 

 

Namco NB-1/NB-2

 

Some of these arcade games were super sweet. Especially outfoxies for the NB-2 and Monster Maulers for the Mystic Warriors based-hardware. I know Mame supports them now but the latest xbox version 0.84 that I'm aware of does not fully. I should also mention I have FBA XXX Pro which I love and I'm just now trying FBL and Coin ops. Thanks to you developers that keep the box dream alive.

 

I've been out of the loop for awhile so forgive my ignorrance. Any info is appreciated.

over the past 2 years or there about iq 132 did a lot of new drivers for coinops like nightslashers,osman/cannon dancer,dj boy,bc kid,skull fang....loads of new games.

and i am sure monter maulers was another one he did in fact i am sure that most of the games on the mystic warriors hardware is now emulated apart from gaiapolis.

as for the namco hardware some of those games are already emulated on coinops like nebulus ray but it does not have sound.

edit/should also add that final burn legends plays a tonne of new games that arent in fbaxxx pro like powerdrift,turbo outrun,galaxy force 2......and so on.

gaiapolis works on 128meg xboxes

[fumanchu]

gaiapolis cant get past the boot screen,this has been a problem now for years as far as i remember anyway.

cant remember anyone being able to boot it even on a 128mb ram xbox.....unless i missed something.

[gamez fan]

i mind when i was compiling a missing games thread elseware that BP said gaiapolis will work on 128meg xbox but as i always say could be wrong

[fumanchu]

well it is possible i suppose just dont myself lol..

Thanks very much for the quick, solid info guys. This is indeed another exciting time to get back into the xbox. I will be following very closely and appreciate all of the hard work that you guys do to maintain in my opinion, the best console still. Cheers.

i believe +T+ was talking about the 0.143u7 romset... not the actual mame source.

 

but believe when i say this... I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MAME IN FBL TOO!!

 

even if it was just .084...

fair point i could bullshit and say oh thats what i ment the romset

but no i guess i need to read up on FBL before posting

 

and you might get your wish for mame in FBL im sure i mind +T+ sayin

he was looking into maybe adding it to FBL at some point if im not mistaken

 

ive stated before i do prefer the gun game crosshares and the control adjustment options in FBL so anything

that means i can play more of them ie beast busters or lucky and wild in FBL

would be totally cool

I just want "Golden Axe II revenge of death adder" working on xbox without any graphics glitches, thats the only game that I really wanted to see on xbox over the past few years.

You can't have "MAME in FBL". They are two entirely different emulators.

 

Unless you mean you'd want the FBL UI to launch MAMEoX via some cheap command line trick. But I would have to ask what's the point of that? All you would end up with is MAMEoX running with none of the features or configurability of the original emulator, much like the old FBA core in CoinOPS. Let me be clear and say that FBL will definitely not be going down that road as long as I'm working on it as I consider that sort of thing to be entirely counterintuitive.

 

FBL is an Xbox port of Final Burn Alpha and that's the way it's going to stay.

[gamez fan]

fair point i newbiely assumed if mame 0.84 core was added it would run as part of FBL not side by side

so there would be no benefit for gun games as they would use the mameox controls

 

so that ends my interest in mame 0.84 being added to FBL wont mention it again

and since +T+ states he has no interest in adding it i suggest you all do the same

dont piss him off by askin for it

Lol. You can ask for anything you want, I don't mind. But as long as you don't mind that sometimes my reply won't beat about the bush.
