[zero129]

It's 844k zipped.

 

And I don't use newsgroups so I wouldn't know how to upload it there. So if anyone else wants to host it then just let me know.

ill host it m8, just send it to zero129@gmail.com , im not sure what the sites bandwith is, but it should atleast help until someone else with a better host comes along, plus the more mirrors the better, anyway i think my bandwith is 1gb per month

[Prican25]

well if you want, email it to me and i'll post it on newsgroups

 

email is PRican1010@optonline.net

 

a lil update to those who wonder about posting the source, talked to gamecop and its ok to post the source since it doesn't break fba license and isn't illegal

 

i'll say it again, no xbe or link to xbes or else --->

Okay, I've sent it to both of you. Thanks for the help.

Well here it is.

 

As I said, this first patch just adds the newer romsets from the last version that supported them and so the required roms are exactly the same as those from the 08-02 release. Just apply the patch to the MAME version of the 09-01 default.xbe with your favourite IPS patcher and enjoy.

Thanks to Thraxen for hosting it.

 

EDIT: It seems there are a few problems with FBA generating s rom data with some sets. This is causing lock ups during loading. Adding an s rom line to the drivers seems to fix this so if people experiencing these problems could post the names of sets that are affected (apart from Metal Slug 4 and 5 which I'm already aware of) then I'll get a fixed patch done in the morning (it's late here ). Sorry 'bout that, I didn't have time for much testing.

[Prican25]

well i do this for fun so i'm glad you had a good laugh

[axledentaldj]

Does it work correctly on the 8/02/04 old non mame default.xbe?

Thanks

[Prican25]

its meant to be used with the latest version out

[axledentaldj]

I guess what I meant to say, the new version thats out still gives you two choices of default.xbes, will it work on the default (old dumps).xbe? I'm about to find out...

Nope didnt work and didnt think it would seein as I probably didnt IPS patch it write as the defualt.xbe was about 16MB when patched, that didnt seem right.. damm.

well i tested the patch with the mame xbe and it works fine tho i noticed cthd2003 encrypted rom still has gfx probs and i would guess mslug4 encrypted would still have gfx probs too since manto never bother to fix it (i did in my last compile which shastaorange used for his disc).

[axledentaldj]

trying another IPS patcher called: IPSWin 2.0, this time it was about 2,840KB default.xbs testing....worked only for the default (mame dumps).xbe, the old dump xbe hangs in the black screen, please, make one compatible for this old dump default.xbe. Thanks!

Here's a 'fixed' patch. This update fixes the problem with Metal Slug 4 and 5 locking up during loading. It seems that for some reason my build of FBA-XXX is unable to generate s roms for these games. Since I know nothing about coding, the only solution I could come up with was to add s rom lines to the those drivers. So for the time being you'll need the following extra roms for these games to work (I've used the versions that I think most people will have):

 

mslug4nd.zip

------------

263-s1.bin 128k 62575f68

 

mslug5nd.zip

------------

268-s1.bin 128k 64952683

 

If anyone knows of a better solution to this problem or notices any more games that are affected then please let me know.

I'll see what I can do about a patch for the 'old dumps' version although there really is no excuse for not updating your romsets.

[axledentaldj]

Yes there is an excuse, you know how crazy it was to keep up with all the changes that Gogo and Artic and manto did on the romsets, which ones they followed, so Manto decided to offer and old dump default.xbe and I'm happy with that. Most of the banned neogeo romsets won't see proper dats for a while.. I think..because they are banned.. Its just a pain in the butt.. But thanks!

Or and FBAXXX decoding thingy for the mslug 4 & 5, s1 roms are better to have.. can't remember exactly what the problem was, but the way FBAXXX decodes the neogeo driver for s1, had alot of problems with the Metal Slug games wihtout s1 decodin.. and I think for garou.. so I prefer to have the s1 in the romset neogeo driver anyways...
