haha did you ever play wwe raw 2? that game sucked just like the first one with minor improvements and they gave it a high rating while a real review by gamespot or hell even gamepro knew the game sucked. they do that so many times with games hell they couldn't even type their own hands on for sf aniversary for ps2 (the article was a direct ripoff of the xbox article only with minor changes that aren't even official like the ps2 version isn't going to be online) now back to mslug3 for xbox, its either you love it or hate it the game looks great and plays at a faster pace but one thing thats definitely annoying is the fact that continues put you back at the begining of the level theres 2 levels to be unlocked when the arcade version is completed (ps2 japanese version had the same) and thats about it.

well ign are picky and dumb most of the time so i'll stick with gamespot for decent reviews

actually the biggest you can put in is 120gb with this thing

the story mode works fine in japanese language only

some good news for anyone that rather uses the kawaks 1.48dev version of kof2003 (not the PCB version), ferchogtx of romshare recently posted a driver that works with that version in fba. i tried to do this for fba-xxx but its different in the neo_run.cpp part and all i got was errors heres the info: // The King of Fighters 2003 (bootleg) static struct BurnRomInfo kof2003bRomDesc[] = { {"271-p1bl.bin", 0x400000, 0x92ed6ee3, 0x10}, // 0 68K code /* scrambled, maybe P1 is P2 ROM */ {"271-p2bl.bin", 0x400000, 0x5d3d8bb3, 0x10}, // 1 /* and P2 is P1 ROM */ {"271-s1bl.bin", 0x020000, 0x3ba05252, 1}, // 2 Text layer tiles /* scrambled */ {"271-c1d.bin" , 0x1000000, 0xc29acd28, 1}, // 3 Sprite data {"271-c2d.bin" , 0x1000000, 0x328e80b1, 1}, // 4 {"271-c3d.bin" , 0x1000000, 0x020a11f1, 1}, // 5 {"271-c4d.bin" , 0x1000000, 0x991b5ed2, 1}, // 6 {"271-c5d.bin" , 0x1000000, 0xc2de8b66, 1}, // 7 /* The last 2 CxD roms contains S1-ROM */ {"271-c6d.bin" , 0x1000000, 0x3ff750db, 1}, // 8 /* data (512 KB) only, no sprite data */ {"271-m1d.bin" , 0x080000, 0x0e86af8f, 0x10}, // 9 Z80 code /* overdumped?

cool, if i can't find them in a flea market i'll definitely give you a holla

nice, you got s-video cables too see i to got a sega saturn a while back for free from one of my cousins but he used the rf adapter which broke and lost the original a/v cables on top of that, i got only the analog controller since the original was lost but i look at that as a good thing since i didn't like the first version's controller

for me mostly i perfer realism more like the gran turismo games but for fun its definitely snes mario kart or wipeout's (wipeout xl for ps1 was my favorite)

i played it a bit in 5-10 fba-xxx didn't really see a problem tho

well i got zintrick neocd to burn fine with cdrwin as Agozer suggested but that same cue i posted worked with cdrwin but its an unreadable disc for some reason i'll try what iq_132 suggested and see what happens EDIT: it works also i thought 3:00 as a pregap was weird but a changed it to 2:00 and its working fine. now for samurai spirits rpg btw, did they ever make a translation patch or something of that sort for it?

theres a few neogeo cd games that were only on neocd (crossed swords 2, samurai spirits rpg) so this is a good thing except for no iso/bin&cue support.

well i tried loading the cue to alcohol 120% but gives me an error about something in line 3, here's my cue info: FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 01.iso" BINARY TRACK 01 MODE1/2048 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 02.mp3" MP3 TRACK 02 AUDIO PREGAP 00:03:00 INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 03.mp3" MP3 TRACK 03 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 04.mp3" MP3 TRACK 04 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 05.mp3" MP3 TRACK 05 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 06.mp3" MP3 TRACK 06 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 07.mp3" MP3 TRACK 07 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 08.mp3" MP3 TRACK 08 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 09.mp3" MP3 TRACK 09 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 10.mp3" MP3 TRACK 10 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 11.mp3" MP3 TRACK 11 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 12.mp3" MP3 TRACK 12 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 13.mp3" MP3 TRACK 13 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 14.mp3" MP3 TRACK 14 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 15.mp3" MP3 TRACK 15 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 16.mp3" MP3 TRACK 16 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 17.mp3" MP3 TRACK 17 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 18.mp3" MP3 TRACK 18 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 19.mp3" MP3 TRACK 19 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00 FILE "Metal Slug 2 - Track 20.mp3" MP3 TRACK 20 AUDIO INDEX 01 00:00:00

well i got a few that i wanna try on the neocd emu for xbox but my efforts have failed to burn them properly now i got the iso+mp3's and i converted the mp3's to wav's and then tried to burn the disc as iso+wav but no luck my last attempt was to burn the iso first and then add the wav's but what i got was a game that finally played but no music. any help on this?

its avalaunch

same here now, i got the iso+mp3's; how can i make the cd to properly read in the emu? do i just need to convert the mp3's to wav and then burn or some other method? EDIT: i just tried to burn it as iso+wav but still doesn't work right

yup you read the topic right, we got a neocd emu now heres the info: NEOCD/SDLx - the SDL neogeo CD emulator for Xbox ================================================ NeoCD/SDLx is a Xbox port of the NeoCD/SDL neogeo CD emulator.

Enjoy! only bad thing is that theres no iso/cue&bin option so its using cd's only (sorry thomson users)

you know you could've just pm me but any way i'll send you the default.xbe i've heard from gogo's forum that theres gonna be another release soon so i'll wait for that one and then make another post to newsgroups

well i got the nd set completed but the encrypted set i need the other v1/2's and the 256k m1

http://www.slyck.com/ that site can explain newsgroups best. also for those who don't know, romshare has patches to make the new dump as it matches the dat from winkawaks 1.48 dev (in romshare its called the unkwown emulator for some odd reason)

autostarting?

for kof2003, you'll need the pmame.bin which replaces the p roms from the mame/fba version of kof2003. rotdn is the decrypted version and if you got an older kawaks w/loader you can decrypt the encrypted version to get the needed files. also you'll need to cut each of the v roms in 2 to get full sound (this also applies to mslug4 if you can't get the nd version) now if you got my compile of fba-xxx, kof 2k1 and 2k2 encrypted/decrypted sets are supported. gogo's version has kof2k1 encrypted/decrypted but 2k2 encrypted was wrong and he had the decrypted version called kof2002nd instead of kof2k2nd

i don't see it yet on newsgroups but if it shows up later i'll let you know

yes
