CoinOPS 5 Countdown

[Robert]

I understand that the scene is broken, I just want it to be civil. Maybe that is asking too much...

 

Not at all. It's good that you want to do something. I'm just not sure if the time is right yet.

[destronger]

i appreciate sharpforks opinion. he helped me with my xbox arcade which is still in the works.

 

@sharpfork: you know the whole story as to why bp is no longer trusted among the scene.

 

1) using other peoples sources and not recognizing them for their contribution.

 

2) not releasing his coinops source in a timely manner (although i'll admit i didn't release fbl sources very quick, sorry. they are out there).

 

3) his continuous banning and bully tactics when he was here at 1emu (1 strike for 1emu).

 

the rest are personal pet-peeves:

 

4) he has no sense of humor.

 

5) his ability to write a proper sentence and/or paragraph is atrocious. it's a bad joke that he lives in the educated county of new zealand where english is the common/official language. some of the posters here and emuxtras write better when english is their second or third language.

 

however, none of this will change your mind... many dev's of the past have left because of his involvement. you should note that all existing dev's in the scene are at emuxtras. that should tell you something.

 

thanks for posting, we all appreciate your help in the scene.

well there you have it coinops 5 which as far as i understand is to be the last full release on the xbox from reading the coinops forum a while back

i fully expect coinops 6 to be either on the android or xb360 platform unless plans have now changed

now ive heard some opinions expressed that doubt BP's abillity to port coinops across to said platforms i for one will keep an interested eye on

the situation see where coinops goes from here

 

note to BritneysPAIRS im relaying what ive heard this is not a trolling comment designed to wind you up OK!!! best way to shut doubters up is to port it simple as

This mentality of competition is the single most pathetic thing about BP and CoinOPS. No other developer sees things this way; it's laughable. And yet there are still those that say BP isn't the reason the scene is split.

 

That's all I'm going to say. I'll now leave those who wish to discuss this release to do so.

you bring up a good point here +T+. when retro was released he seemed to scoff at it. the posters on his forum tried it and said it didn't compare to coinops... the thing is it wasn't supposed to. it was released to prove that the a lib emu could be ported to the xbox with a minimal interface per the dev's design.

 

instead of assuming everyone is out to get bp, shouldn't he instead say that a release like that is a great addition to the scene. everyone else saw it that way...

I've been given to understand that the members of that forum have been instructed not to post here or else. If Sharpfork wants to fix the problems in the scene, he has a tough job ahead. I hope he succeeds.

hmm dont see a post about this maybe he's changed his mind about 1emu and will let his community roam free

 

 

Has anyone tried pcsxbox redux?

 

Regarding CDDA...

 

 

Quote:

Much improved CDDA playback. This fixes the CDDA in ALOT of games which makes them worthwhile playing. Unlike the older x-port releases which had some serious CDDA issues.

 

 

Quote:

* Fix to Re-volt CDDA. Earthworm Jim and Contra - Legacy Of War now play audio. Make sure you have the matching ".ccd/.cue" files for Earthworm Jim.

 

on a seperate note some users discussing the limitations of playing psx games in coinops and this post caught my eye

for sure 100% sound advice the thread only told half the story this post certainly completes the whole picture

dont think these comments will be welcome though

It's a shame that most of these CoinOPS users are probably totally unaware of the awesome work madmab has done in improving PSX emulation on the Xbox. I'm sure even mentioning it over there warrants an instant ban. Funny how, despite all the releases, CoinOPS is just getting more and more dated.

 

As I recall, BP used to compare himself to Einstein (), so I guess comparisons with Steve Jobs, Da Vinci, Jesus etc. are pretty inevitable with this kind of neurosis.

[gamez fan]

you know i have noticed a disturbing trend of late we now have coinops forum members routinely accusing each other of being trolls

for even the slightest of reasons whats goin on certainly wasnt that way over there when i was a member a while back

 

hi all, and thanks BP for coinops (just discovered it with co4)

 

please can you check in CO5 that multiplayer on snes is working? on CO4 it's not (maybe 2 player but not 3 or 4), it sucks for bomberman

 

didnt see much wrong with the above post but then....

 

bottedumal are you trollin, jokin or serious?

 

and

 

copyman => I really don't see where the "troll" or joke is?! take it easy man.

 

yes bomberman can be played 4 player, as many other snes games, with a multitap, which is perfectly supported in snes emulators on xbox.

 

hmm weird

well many happy returns and all that who's gonna blow out the candle

 

Happy Birthday guys....

 

Its offical you are the largest CoinOPS community ever....

this is a great achievement....other people have boasted to be so even though 3/4 of there threads where flame wars from trolls....even with all the trolling removed from here the numbers are now greater than has ever been achieved before...

 

This is quite a feat because this happened in 1/5 of the time....and also alot of the discussion is now done in the realtime chat....and lastly as this site came from nowhere....other sites had 1000s of established people although they are dying.....

 

so congradulation....CoinOPS 5 is done and it should push the bar higher.....and theres a new VISION on the horizon......
