alphabetman Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 yeah, sorry, i should have specified. it's just him testing a theory about the p1, and he needs people to help him test his theory. if his theory works, it should play in kawaks. so yeah, if you know hex, and want to help, visit the link.
cosmic_lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) Hell yes! I am almost afraid to start helping with this... because I'm such a stubborn bastard that I can't start something without finishing... that's why I ended up compiling mame 32 plus to accomodate a fix i made in the s rom of kof2003, just because I love KOF so much, even though I hate MAME. I'll try this some, and see what I can come up with. [edit] btw, I encourage everyone to help with this, especially people who already have KOF 2003's rom. You go to that guy's link and download like a 3 kb file and read the instructions. You don't need to know hex... I do know hex, because for a class I took once, they made me learn how to convert from decimal or binary to hex with a pencil and paper. Believe me, it's not something you can do in your head, except for common ones, like FF. I know FF because I used to hex edit rpg games...and what's the magic number in rpg games? 255. 255 in hex = FF. Anyway, you don't need to knwo hex. Open up the windows calculator and set it to scientific mode. click the Hex tab, then enter a hex number, click the decimal tab to see that number in decimal form.

-VIOLENCE- Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) ooh that's clever i'll try that tactic Edited February 2, 2004 by -VIOLENCE-
cosmic_lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 what is hex? is it easy to learn? hex=hexidecimal, a base 16 numbering system. Decimal is base 10 In hex, there are 16 digits: 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A(10), B(11), C(12), D(13), E(14), F(15) I found a page on the net that should be able to explain it. Go here.
Prican25 Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 i didn't like it much either but at least its better then 2k2 tho for some reason it seems very short but i guess thats a growing trend (mslug5)
cosmic_lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 One thing that page doesn't mention is how to split the roms. After you open up your command prompt, what I did was unzip that file from the page onto the desktop, then extracted from kof2003.zip the p1 and p2 files. They have to be in hte same directory, I picked the desktop cuz it's easy to manage. in your dos prompt, type "cd desktop" to get to the desktop, that's how it is for me onxp anyway. once there, type test_px. It chops them up nicely
Urquan2x Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 hey guuys..i got the kof2003 for mame..and you knwo what/.im disappointe din snk/playmore..i had lots of expectations for kof2003..the ldm.is horrible.and argh.. yea disappointed me alot.. but is it out for winkawaks..kawaks is the best emulator out there.hm.. it'll be great if someone could fix that up quickly.. argh!!! kof2003 is not that good!!!! always have low expectations and you'll always be impressed ------------------------------------------------------------------As for kawaks itself, ppl are crackin the p1 rom in the meantime... can u get fullscreen netplay for kawaks?
cosmic_lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 (edited) I don't know why, but yes this does make it load tremendously slowly. Perhaps if you put in your dat file the crc of the test.rom you made? Maybe that would help. I figured the guy had a bad computer is what he meant by it taking 17 mins to load, but my system is awesome and it's at the 5 minute mark now, still not loaded. Anyway, this project is worth the time. [edit] I'm assuming the game acutally loaded within seconds... and just loaded to a black screen... I hope I'm right... if not I'll have to start all over once i get through Edited February 2, 2004 by cosmic_lord
Tidus Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 case I will be playing everyday if Krawks ver. comes out
Gryph Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 Anyone know if their are cheats out yet. I can't beat the game with the Korea team. I beat it with Garou, Benimaru, The Guardian or whatever it's called, and Hero. But I can't beat the damn game with the Korea team!
cosmic_lord Posted February 2, 2004 Posted February 2, 2004 There are cheats out, both using dip switches and such, and there's actually a push button code you can enter on the actual arcades, well you could push in the buttons on your emu but since it's an emu there are ways to permanently enable the bosses anyway Anyway, the problem with this method, I got through with it so I'm assuming that my assumption of it loading within seconds was wrong. I'm starting over and waiting until it either has an error or the bios comes up. Anyway, this will take time... but what the problem will be, is that it's possible the files were chopped up into smaller pieces than 1MB and put together wrong. If it's like that, you'd have to chop them up into even smaller pieces, and that of course, would make more combinations to try and more time it would take, especially at 17 minutes per load.
