So what do you guys think of this new style I just uploaded. If you can't see it, go to your profile settings and as the template set as "subBlack3d". I found the template on another emulation site, coincidently. I may put it as default, but I don't know yet. I don't want to look like another site. At the same time its a good style. I havn't made a logo yet for it, but I will. Enjoy! ~Tell Me What You Think

Nice to have you back Eugen Popovici. As for TapeWurm, I will see if I can talk to him on ICQ. You have surely pleased us all, thanks again Eugen Popovici.

Yeah it wasn't so great for me either. But hey lets just keep telling everyone about this forum and I bet we will tripple our users! We got to be positive, like me good old momma always says.

*JUST FOUND* Links not allowed -Diso Enjoy!

I have been looking for a Windows XP Front-End Patch or something to play Mugen on my computer. Are they any? If so please post a link!

yeah I know, its a little crazy. See before the only way to get my softwares was to register on the forum and PM me from there, so thats what happened, but nobody posted, till I made it completely free and no restrictions.

(After getting on the internet after almost a week due to internet problems and a lost second phone line) I hope you really stay and I even have an idea to clean yourself forever from this mess, just contact me via pm. As for anything else, rom request or anything please feel free to email me or PM me. I have to admit you are probally one of the most precious people in the emulation scene that most people really would pay to get someone like you on their site. I really hope that you will keep posting on this forum. Not only that you have brought many people to my site and I have noticed many times. We even had one that said "Thanks Dev for this awesome site" (which is you Eugen Popovici or Deve***, don't really want to reveal your other screename if you havn't already). To be honest I was really shocked when you said you were going to leave. I mean the first time I saw you was on A@H where we all grew up to the emulation scene. You were one of the great people who pushed me on to keep making my softwares. I truly, truly thank you for that. You have really made me a better person in what I am today. Thanks again. P.S. Are you leaving all the forum or just here and what about a@H? [bTW] PM me as soon as possible, like I said I have an idea. (For All Other Mods) Think of XXLEnimga as your row model when it comes to being a Moderator because he has trully brought a lot of people here.

I got to admit its good graphics design... But I'm still puzzled... Did you guys want a Emulation Illustration or just plain illustrations.. Oh well keeps the forum alive. (Another thing I am a kind of person who really really hates anything Extremely revealing like I said, so don't think I am messed up or something because I have had girlfriends. Its just that I have to keep it to a limit on this forum so it will never go down or anything close to it.)

Umm.. Emsley your image still won't show. I guess you can show images if it is not on the site. Upload your image to: http://www.imahosting.com Its free for images under 20kb.

Hmm... Probally in your list you should have. 1. Street Fighter Alpha 3, I heard it is preety good. 2. Tekken Advance, You see I like Fighting Games 3. The newest Mega-Man game. (Keeps you action-packed) Well thats all I can think of since I don't download GBA Roms that much, but there you go.

I'm a Lamborgini fan. My favorite car out of all of them the "Diablo" ohh yeahhh

Nice post, but makesure you keep it under 18 stuff. I don't want any hentai, or whatever you call it porno anime. But once again good post, but very, very, close to being edited. Like I said in the rules nothing "EXTREMELY" revealing meaning porn and junk but obviously its no porn, but artwork. But you know what I mean. Keep it to the limit.

Does it work you guys?? This can save a lot of $$ money for me, because I copy all my data on cds.

Thats a good idea, its kind of a pitty how are record use to be 28 members and now it is 13 when I did the forum switch. BTW people, incase you are puzzled on what he is talking about "The most users online at once" Probally today (Saturday) at "GMT - 8 Hours" Since a lot of people I know here are from the pacific part of the world. I'll be on (HopeFully).

That signature of your DreamCastLover is seriously awesome. The quality of the picture is really good. It kind of looks 3D like too! Great Job, as for SgtSarros, hmm.. Google btw, has a new image finding system just click on the images tab and you can search for them and see what you can find. http://www.google.com

Your idea unforunattely Alexis really can not happen except by PM. The reason why is because let say a child around the age 10-13 enters the board. And then he see's a topic about the reproduction system or (sex) and he doesn't know about it. And clicks it. We can get sued by many places stating all this stuff. So basically your idea can only work with private messaging. Don't forget the ages for emulation start from 10-18 and then 18-28. You rarely except Teckel or Tim, a maker of a site, would be on a board like this. So basically there you go. If you have any questions or comments just PM me, but for now. TOPIC CLOSED (not really)

Woohoo, thanks for notifiying us!! This will seriously help a lot of people.

I can picture it too. Hell wouldn't the username and password for your ftp change too? Isn't like the username: aah? Well if you do decide to change it and leave a@H, change it to: Username: emulforums Pass:.cjb.net But yeah, they would seriously be pissed.

You are absollutely right SgtSarros. I myself hate it when you have so many abilites and try to make your opinions facts, without anyone saying anything about it. That is why so many people are getting pissed at him, but we all know they can't say what they really want to say or they will be banned, so some of them agree with them even though they know nothing about the subject.

Thats right folks...!! If you post a banner of EmulForums on your site, your link will be in our new affiliates section that will be coming soon in the new webpage design! Not only that it will increase the traffic on your site substancially because this site is growing everyday. We have already 2 gotten to affliates. And already their traffic will be increasing. We even support FTP's, Direct Connect Hubs, and MiRC HUB's. One other thing, its absollutely FREE!

I am getting sick of A@H too.. Way to many pop-ups/ banner ads all over the place. And now all of a sudden the admin of the site Teckel (TIM) is now posting all this stuff in how some religions are bad and stating a bunch of crap. And you are right the whole forum is current affairs, thats one reason why I have this forum and why I made it. 1. This forum has no popups/ banner ads. 2. Style Costumizable 3. Language Costumizable (COMING SOON) 4. Makes Softwares To Help People 5. You are able to post links to whatever you want. 6. Restrictions are much lower than regular forums. 7. We Have Roms & Isos. Hell if you notice in the stats, my thread is on the top of the list, why, because I am helping people to find roms or now (SomeBoddy) is since I gave him the job. And right now basically all I see in A@H Forums is:

Just leave the zip file, neogeo.zip in your roms directory and all should work. Do not extract it unless you are using NeoRageX.

Since the link for the rotd dump is a fake, this thread will be closed and the link will be edited! ~

I found you can have access to two levels of power when you're doing a Super Special attack. You can make an alternate version of Cassandra's White Wave super but directly on the ground. Look at Cassandra's own character moves list for more details. Thanks a lot to Kuang Liew for this great pieces of info. c) I found some infos about Abubo (not Abobo). Look at Abubo own character moves list for more details. Thanks to Playmore(www.playmore.co.jp) for the new things about this mid-boss. Version 1.1 (2001/08/01) After having played many times, and writing a faq for some times now, I am ready to give it to the public. My major issues in this faq are about the backgrounds of the characters, the controls, and the moves names and their respective joystick motions. Any help on these will be greatly appreciated. 2) INTRODUCTION Rage of the Dragons it's a Tag Team fighting game (2 VS 2) developed by Noise Factory and distributed by Evoga. The victory goes to the first team able to defeat the 2 other fighters. The game features 14 playable characters and 2 bosses. I'm writing this because I don't find any faq about this game until today, and I think this game deserve it because it's a very good one. The fighting engine is great and the graphics are good (a little under Mark of the Wolves standard). The animation it's sometimes choppy, but real good in general. The backgrounds and the musics are OK. There probably a few mistakes about the names and the background of the characters; the controls; the names and the motion of the special moves, but I'm still working on it. Sadly, the Rage of the Dragons machine in my local arcade it's already gone. So, if I don't find an other arcade with the game, I will probably buy the NeoGeo cartridge to complete this faq. 3) STORY 3.1) The Legend of the Dragons The art of the dragons it's a very unique art among the rest because it practices the worship of the dragons, ancient creatures that once roar on the earth. This mythical art can transform the human energy into power for good or evil depending of which dragon the user decides to adore. The cult comes from all parts of the world, and in many ancient cultures it was used. However, there are different ways to learn the abilities of the dragons. The power of the dragons gives to the user the power over many elements among other powers. But the resonance among the different dragons provokes the user to look for the challenge of other dragons. Those who pay respect to the legends will fight for honor. But those blinded by ambition and power will destroy the adversaries to gain more power from the defeated dragon. The dragons have been in many different ways and in very different persons along the history. They have decided some important parts of mankind during many centuries. Sometimes, evil dragons raise to gain power to become superior over other dragons and rules. Unavoidably, the dragons must clash to balance the power and keep peace. The humans are conducts to the dragons energy, and can live in harmony or be consumed by the power of the dragons. Those that had summoned a dragon are also mark to be in constant confrontation with the rest of the dragons and to feel the resonance of the spirits. Only those who train can control the full power of the dragons. Those who don't will live in a constant confusion because they don't know how to deal with this kind of power. 3.2) Background Story Sunshine City is ruined. Decadent and corrupted, the city is a no man's land ruled by the law of the strongest. The police and the national army are not able to stop the violence wave along with the corruption in the government and others authorities that make the situation worse. Among the chaotic situation exist a strong group that practice the religious worship to the BLACK DRAGON. This group is quite recent but has gain a lot of young followers with their faith lost in life and in a world in economic recession and severe climatic crisis. The leader of this sect is a young and powerful heir with a sumptuous mansion set in one island close to the Sunshine Bay. From their, this young man controls the city in totality and the fates of many people. This man has been possessed by the evil spirit of the BLACK DRAGON, an ancient spirit confined in a sacred stone and it was awaken by this powerful man. Long ago, he was a martial student, tenacious and strong but also too ambitious. Because of this, he was expulsed from the dojo where he was learning the ways of the dragons along with the SHO SETZU KEN art. Because of this, he promises that his old master will be trash for rejecting him. So, he steal one of the old seals that kept the BLACK DRAGON spirit. His anger and hate feed the BLACK DRAGON spirit and took possession of him and became a powerful leader. With his power, his cult grow quickly and overpowered the Sunshine City authorities, and now, its expanding through the country. This has happen in humanity several times, and now, it will happen again. This sect will overwhelm in a way or another the life of many people in Sunshine City. The sect has grow more and more ruthless. So this time, when two brothers feel the need for confrontation, that flows from the BLACK DRAGON energy. The dragons have the destiny to fight each other and they can't escape from it. The confrontation is set! The dragons are summonded! This is the... 3.3) Rage of the Dragons Old master of the SHO SETZU KEN and guardian of some of the Dragon Spirits have travel long time ago and stay in Sunshine City when it was a blooming community in development. From there, he will look to fulfill his mission, and the task of guardian of the dragon symbols is to keep alive the ancient art of the SHO SETZU KEN, but he will commit a mistake... Knowing the power of the dragons and feared to not find nobody capable of keeping the seals, he took the decision of inserting the spirit of the dragons in his most noble students. He found two brothers with the natural spirit of the dragon born with them, something very unusual. This young blood came from Jimmy and Billy Lewis. This brother were from a violent family that make big brother Jimmy to escape from it with his younger brother and they were welcome by Master Lee. He felt the energy that marks those who can achieve the enlightment of the dragon, so he started the training of both brothers on different worships. Jimmy started the training on the RED DRAGON, while Billy did the same with the BLUE DRAGON. But a tragedy and a dispute between both brothers after Marian's death, the girlfriend of Jimmy, make them to split and leave the training. The old master knew that this could be dangerous because they did not achieve enough discipline to control the dragons power that lives inside them. After the confrontation, both brothers took different ways in a self quest to find more about the dragons and how to control the power that lives inside them and grows each time more and more. Knowing that his days where count, the master decide to give to his grandaughter, Lynn Baker, the WHITE DRAGON seal and train her in this art to have a successor. But he did not expected that an old student returned to show how powerful he became with the BLACK DRAGON spirit. So he confronted his old master, but because of his elderly age, the old man died before the fight. After he left the dojo, Lynn returned to the site after she escaped from the training. She felt the fall of a dragon and the rising power of a new one. This energy was felt also to by the brothers who decide to return to the city, each one by their own side to know what is going on, while the power of the BLACK DRAGON keeps growing more and more powerful. 4) BASIC CONTROLS Up : Up QCF : Quarter Circle Forward Uf : Up-Forward QCB : Quarter Circle Back Fd : Forward HCF : Half Circle Forward Df : Down-Forward HCB : Half Circle Back Dn : Down DP : Fd,Dn,Df (Dragon Punch Motion) Db : Down-Back Bk : Back Ub : Up-Back Buttons A-B-C-D : Weak Punch - Weak Kick - Strong Punch - Strong Kick Swift Escape : Press AB Escape Roll : Fd or Bk + AB Tag Partner : Press BC Counter Attack : Back + CD (before the opponent hits you) First Impact : Press CD Team Duplex : HCF+BC Dash : Forward, Forward Retreat : Back, Back Taunt : Press Start Surrender : Press ABCD SPECIAL METER : You can accumulate three Power Stocks and you keeps it when you tag your partner. The Special Meter fill up very quickly when you're using Special Moves, and when you hit the opponents or when they hit you. PARTNER METER : The Partner Meter fill up automatically, and when it's full, you can tag your partner or you can use a Team Duplex. When you're tagging your partner, he comes out running and he hits the opponent. You can also use this in combos. FIRST IMPACT : After pressing CD, the opponent fly into the air and you can do a special combo (in the air). Each fighters has specific combo, consisting of a series of different buttons press (indicated at the bottom of the screen). Other combos are also usable when your opponent is near the edge of the screen. DUPLEX COMBO : By doing HCF + BC, you can do a Duplex Combo (used two Power Stocks of the Special Meter). To do this kind of attack, your two partners should have energy life and the Partner Meter must be full. It's like a Team Super Special Move. Your character will ram the opponent. If you hit the target, your character will do a combo and your partner will come out. You can even do a second Duplex Combo with your new character before the opponent falls down. Timing is the key. Note : If you fight with your Special Partner, the Team Duplex will be different and exclusive for the team, comparatively to a Team Duplex with any other partner. SUPER SPECIAL MOVE : Each character has one Super Special Move, but you have access to two different levels of power. If you make the move with WP or WK, this will use one Power Stock of the Special Meter. But if you make it with SP or SK, the attack will be more powerful and it will use two Power Stocks of the Special Meter. This attacks are very devastating (similar to the Desperation Moves and Super Desperation Moves in King of Fighters). SPRING ATTACK : Like KOF 2001, some sort of Wire Attack exist in this game : the Spring Attack. However, the opponent don't bounce back at you. In fact, he stucks on the wall a few seconds and falls down. After several Spring Attacks, the wall will disappear and the background comes taller (like Real Bout). SURRENDER : One of your character can surrender during a fight. This technique has the characteristic that your surrending partner will give you his remaining Power Stock(s). To do a Surrender, your two partners should have energy; the Partner Meter must be full, and you should not be under attack. SPECIAL NOTES : Some characters have Special Cancels (Fd + WP or WK). 5) CHARACTERS MOVES LIST 5.1) ~~BILLY~~ Real Name : William Lewis (Lee) Nationality : American Age : 22 years old Fighting Style : Ryu Zui Ken and Own Style Best Partner : Lynn or Jimmy Emblem : Blue Dragon Billy, the young brother of Jimmy, have always followed his brother in different adventures since their childhood.
