FBA-XXX compile help

[Thraxen]

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).

 

Maybe you could help out +T+ and let him know to to fix those drivers *hint* *hint*

[Thraxen]

It looks like mslug3nd.zip and matrimnd.zip have the same issue. Perhaps you should go ask on FBAXXX forums why a game like mslug3nd works on their version but not when you compile your own. Unless PRican has an idea what is going on.

[Prican25]

i'm not sure about mslug3nd or matrimnd probs but as for fixing mslug4 its a lil tricky but can be done, just do what it says here: http://www.freepgs.com/iq_132/pages/games/neopcm2.htm and the game should run with out gfx probs during the game. again this only effects the encrypted version.

I'm hoping to include Samurai Shodown V Special in the improved build I'm working on. I'm also re-adding s rom support to the decrypted romsets because they'll load faster and I feel they're more complete this way. This build will also run from disc unlike the current one.

 

As for the current basic version. I'll add s rom lines to the matrimnd and mslug3nd drivers. I'll also see about implementing IQ_132's code to fix mslug4. I won't be able to test this though since I don't have the encrypted rom.

[Prican25]

well as i read, samsho5s is missing the m and v roms and using samsho5's works but sounds terrible

[+ T +]

Here's fix #2.

 

S rom support added to fix mslug3nd and matrimnd (CRC details in the README). And I've added IQ_132's code that hopefully fixes the gfx problems with mslug4. Let me know if it does or doesn't.

Awesome, thanks for the IPS patch to improve FBA-XXX +T+

 

I hope to see SSVS when the proper M1+V roms are out for it.

Well, Metal Slug 3 works now, but on the title screen all I see is the title. There is no "Insert Coin" or any of the other text (company logos, etc...). The S ROM I'm using has a different CRC than the one FBAXXX is looking for, but my S ROM is straight from a perfect MAME set of Metal Slug 3. So I need to know if this is an issue with my S ROM or if everyone is having this issue.

 

Also, matrimnd does work now, but the sound is still glitched (lots of static at times). I expected this though because the 8-02 version has this problem also. Manto said that he screwed up the drivers in that game and was going to fix it in the next release... but this was before they decided to pull support for new games. So does anyone (PRican, + T +, etc...) know what the problem is? Can you tell by just looking at the drivers what is messed up?

[Prican25]

well thats a problem i was never able to figure out and i have mentioned it many times in fba-xxx forum but nothing was done.

 

funny thing is tho that the driver is the same one used even in the pc version and pc version never gave me static probs and also as far as i remember older fba-x it didn't have a sound prob either (neogh0st builds and such before fba-xxx)

 

well just tested the latest patch and mslug4 encrypted locks up during loading

 

my guess is you added what was on the site but didn't remove the old version of that same code that was already there

Check the size. I presumed the MAME set still used the old 128Kb s rom so that's what I added to the driver whereas my upcoming build was to have the full 512Kb rom. If MAME is using the 512Kb one now then I'll change the driver accordingly.

I'll see if I can find a newer matrimnd driver. If anyone has one then please post it.

I thought I followed the instructions but I'll take another look at it. I had to use the cygwin fix code since the other gave errors when compiling.

i can only play samsho5sp in AES mode...can you guys look into why...I am hearing that James and k-dash got it running in MVS mode in kawaks....so im guessing that the MVS driver info is missing in FBAxxx

The one I have is 128 KB (6d9d4d0a). Does the title screen display correctly for you?

[Prican25]

mame uses 128k version, fba-x/xxx is funny with s1 data so 512k s1 works

I have a bug to report.

 

When the banned roms were pulled from the FBA-XXX source by manto the loading text bug also seemed to go away since the 31/08 version.

 

The loading bug text for example in version 02/08 was:

 

Found D:\roms\kof98.zip okay

Found D:\roms\kof98.zip okay

Found D:\roms\kof98.zip okay

Found D:\roms\kof98.zip okay

Found D:\roms\neogeo.zip okay

Found D:\roms\neogeo.zip okay

Found D:\roms\neogeo.zip okay

Found D:\roms\neogeo.zip okay

 

It should just be:

 

Found D:\roms\kof98.zip okay

Found D:\roms\neogeo.zip okay

 

I just tried the 01/09 version with your IPS patch and this bug is back so my suspicion is that its related to the NeoGeo drivers because I did a clean install of your version and the text bug is still present.

 

Can you look into this?

 

BTW Sammaz, those V and M roms in your samsh5sp set are from samsho5 and that makes samsh5sp sound horrible...
