MAMEoX v0.84.b1 SE

[jejej]

After I start mameox, it says "loading. please wait..." but it never loads.

Any idea why this is?

[roofus]

Give it time, the packed xbes require another 10-20 seconds to decompress.

[Prican25]

ok, once again got help by James (thx man) and have added samsho5/samsh5nd (based on dev) and so far in tests, the encrypted version didn't load at all for me with vmm but the decrypted one loaded up just fine with vmm at 1024.

 

i also added sengoku 3 using the driver info roofus gladly shared (thx for that) and tried it but it too didn't load.

 

also with the help of James (thx once again ) i added mslug5 plus and as we speak its compiling so i'll post later how well that plays.

[jejej]

Well, my Mameox doesn't load at all. I give it alot of time. Just says "loading. PLease wait..."

Did I install it wrong? I just threw it onto my xbox, and created a roms directory in the main folder.

 

Please let me know, I'm looking forward to using this thing.

[Prican25]

ok, my latest error deals with adding mslug5, mslug5nd and mslug5p; it tells me: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _install_mem_read16_handler and error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _install_mem_write16_handler

 

both of those are in machine/neogeo for mslug5 but i'm lost on what i can do

 

plz post if you can help

 

also i'm still having a hard time finding a proper driver for the kof 2004 ex hack so if you can post that driver i'll be glad to add it

About kf2k3pls, tell me if U want to use kof2003 as parent & the recent decrypted EX Hero P1.

 

 

ms5plus driver I use :

 

in Machine\neogeo.c

 

static READ16_HANDLER( mslug5_prot_r )

{

logerror("PC %06x: access protected\n",activecpu_get_pc());

return 0xa0;

static WRITE16_HANDLER ( ms5plus_bankswitch_w )

{

unsigned char *RAM = memory_region(REGION_CPU1);

int bankaddress;

logerror("offset: %06x PC %06x: set banking %04x\n",offset,activecpu_get_pc(),data);

if ((offset == 0)&&(data == 0xa0))

{

bankaddress=0xa0;

cpu_setbank(4,&RAM[bankaddress]);

//neogeo_set_cpu1_second_bank(bankaddress);

logerror("offset: %06x PC %06x: set banking %04x\n\n",offset,activecpu_get_pc(),bankaddress);

}

else if(offset == 2)

{ data=data>>4;

//data=data&7;

bankaddress=data*0x100000;

cpu_setbank(4,&RAM[bankaddress]);

//neogeo_set_cpu1_second_bank(bankaddress);

logerror("offset: %06x PC %06x: set banking %04x\n\n",offset,activecpu_get_pc(),bankaddress);

}

}

 

after static void neogeo_custom_memory(void)

{

sram_locked = 0;

sram_protection_hack = 0;

prot_data = 0;

 

 

after /* Individual games can go here... */

I'm finally back, my desktop is no longer broken (so the FTP server is back up).

 

A minor note: in MAMEoX, you will need to change those nstall_mem_write16_handler's to memory_install_write16_handler, with the second parameter ADDRESS_SPACE_PROGRAM, and 0 as the 5th and 6th parameters. So, for this line:

install_mem_write16_handler(0, 0x2ffff0, 0x2fffff, mslug5p_bankswitch_w);

You will need to change it to this line:

memory_install_write16_handler(0, ADDRESS_SPACE_PROGRAM, 0x2ffff0, 0x2fffff, 0, 0, mslug5p_bankswitch_w);

 

Oh, and I'll be putting up a new build if anyone is interested. Supports a few more romsets for which I found drivers for (including that mslug5p one Mr.X posted).

[Prican25]

roofus thx for mentioning that as that fixed my prob

 

now as for kof2004 ex haven't gotten the rom yet but i'm still willing to add it

 

edit: well finding out the hard way, mslug5/nd based on dev aren't working yet on mame but plus is playable, so i'm gonna add the mslug5 bootleg so at least i can play it

 

update: i'm going to add svcplus with the 512k s1 thats out will post how well it plays when i can

 

update2: well i played it and was surprised it played well unlike kof2003 which was a bit annoying with the video tears here and there. s1 did a nice job on the fake transparences (made it look simaler to ps2 version)

 

tomorrow i'll toss in the rest of the neogeo stuff and see what happends and also will look into trying to add vasara 2 and gunbarich which were added back in mame 84u3

Well with the mslug5nd driver I included (and the romset I have here) and vm settings included it works great here. What problems are you having on your end?

Thx for mslug5p : memory_install_write16_handler(0, ADDRESS_SPACE_PROGRAM, 0x2ffff0, 0x2fffff, 0, 0, ms5plus_bankswitch_w);

 

Now, it works.

 

mslug5 doesn't work (with original encrypted P1 CRC d0466792 & P2 CRC fbf6b61e).

[deadsoulz]

Is anyone going to compile and release there uber versions on the newsgroups?

[Prican25]

i haven't got around to adding all the games yet but when i do i'll be sure to let ya know

 

i also got the new fba-xxx source to play around with but i'm a bit busy around this week so i'll have lil time to work on it

[sammaz]

prican you have any way of getting that.b2 source...it would be sweet to work with that

[Prican25]

he still hasn't posted the b2 source

[BIGWORM]

got a small problem. For some reason or another, when I'm at the startup screen where it says insert coin, I press select, and it just freezes...does anyone know what's going on?
