Coinops 4 - How to disable Locks (run Arcade only)

[+ T +]

I remember reading somewhere that you need the videos too, so try changing zip to xmv and running the script again to create some fake video files.

I deleted CoinOps. I just don't care anymore.

 

CoinOps is just a mess. Look at the folder structure, the illogical roms placement, the absurd locks.

The only thing that this thing has is Mameox+final burn in a single station. (btw, this could be easily implemented in final burn legends - A starts the game with FB core and start starts the game with mameox core).

 

The discussion I had with BP was just beyond a human being with a preserved thinking could have. I believe everyone knows by now but I'll post more or less what happened.

 

Everyone can't change the games in CoinOps because BP had a fight with someone in a forum that I don't even know.

According to his posts he's trying to prove he's a better coder/man/teenager improving "locks" in CoinOps because someone removed those locks before he did.

 

So bottom line, I'll give it a bold: You can't play Fatal Fury if you delete Sonic the Hedgehog because BritneysPAIR had a fight with his friend.

 

Does it make any sense?

 

I've visited asylums all my life for personal reasons and I can assure you, I had more logical discussions with clinical insane people them this and I can almost say that this guy is completely insane to avoid saying completely stupid.

There's nothing I can really add to that. Personally, I gave up on CoinOPS a long time ago; I found the UI to be messy and confusing, the releases almost impossible to follow, the experience offered by the added "cores" to be extremely limited compared to the newer alternatives, and that's before I even start on the ethics of the project (which I won't).

 

The developer who has the sourcecode will always be able to create more complex ways to lock the software to the point where it will eventually be impossible for an end-user to circumvent them. But I really don't see why any developer would actually waste their time coding stuff like this. I guess some people just have too much time on their hands.

Agreed.

 

When you reach some maturity, I mean, past 25, some happenings just impresses you on "how can someone do that". I'm still very impressed but in the other hand you don't care the same way you would back then.

Seriously mate, 3 Sunset, Xraine and FBL 1.10 (till the next destronger update). Forget about it, you aint missing out at all.

Xraine is the neo geo CD emulator?

 

I'm using Neo Geo SDL Unleashed. Is Xraine any better?

[+ T +]

xNeoRaine is the NGCD emulator. xRaine is a port of the arcade emulator RAINE.
