It's not for the string but hexa addresses.

With hexa editor like WinHex, open default.xbe. When the default.xbe is opened, Click on "Edit", then "Find" or "Go To" & enter the hexa address 0x0013A678. On the line : 0000000000005000000000000A0000006C9F0D00, replace the 5 with a 6 if it's not already done. Then, find this adress : 0x0013A6A0 & on the line 0000100000004000DDD4DFEF0200000000000000, replace the 4 with a 5 if it's not already done. Then, find this address : 0x0013A9E8 & on the line 000000000000000000005000000000000A000000, replace the 5 with a 6 if it's not already done. Then, find this address : 0x0013AA08 & on the line 609F0D000000100000004000DDD4DFEF02000000, replace the 4 with a 5 if it's not already done. After all those changes, save your default.xbe.

Check if you have those lines in the modified default.xbe : 0x0013A678 : 0000000000006000000000000A0000006C9F0D00 0x0013A68C : 0000000000001000FFFC8EFF02000000609F0D00 0x0013A6A0 : 0000100000005000DDD4DFEF0200000000000000 0x0013A9E8 : 000000000000000000006000000000000A000000 0x0013A9FC : 6C9F0D000000000000001000FFFC8EFF02000000 0x0013AA08 : 609F0D000000100000005000DDD4DFEF02000000 & you won't have a black screen, normally.

The problem is : I've no messenger & web page.

Don't forget : Press X button to rescan for new roms.

Also, check you've removed Strikers 1945 Plus (parent set) from the roms folder.

Remove your save in E:/TDATA/FA7E/ Check if you have those lines in the modified default.xbe : 0x0013A678 : 0000000000006000000000000A0000006C9F0D00 0x0013A68C : 0000000000001000FFFC8EFF02000000609F0D00 0x0013A6A0 : 0000100000005000DDD4DFEF0200000000000000 0x0013A9E8 : 000000000000000000006000000000000A000000 0x0013A9FC : 6C9F0D000000000000001000FFFC8EFF02000000 0x0013AA08 : 609F0D000000100000005000DDD4DFEF02000000 Check your P1 & P2 are well cut : P1 size : 1024 Kb P2 size : 5120 Kb

Rename it 254-m1.bin. Put it with the others roms & call your romset s1945pn.zip to launch it with Kawa-X.

Ok, Kawa-X freezes because your M1 rom size is bad Use the lastest SVC M1 fix rom of 128 Kb (CRC : 7F01DAC5) renamed in 254-m1.bin.

Your roms names are right. Their sizes should be : 254-p1.bin 1 Mb 254-p2.bin 5 Mb 254-m1.bin 128 Kb 254-v1.bin 4 Mb 254-v2.bin 4 Mb 254-v3.bin 4 Mb 254-v4.bin 4 Mb s45pn_c1.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c2.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c3.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c4.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c5.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c6.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c7.rom 8 Mb s45pn_c8.rom 8 Mb s45pn_s1.rom 128 Kb

I'm not sure, Mr K (aka MHz), maker of Winkawaks & Kawa-X, refused to make a version with recent NeoGeo games.

If you want to use SVC instead of Strikers 1945 Plus predecrypted, you must use svc-m1.rom renamed in 254-m1.bin size : 128 Kb.

Check if you have svc_p1.rom of 6 Mb cut in 2 parts : 1 Mb + 5 Mb to make 254-p1.bin & 254-p2.bin.

To use MSlug4nd without cut music intro, you must fully rename it like The Last Blade 2 & edit Kawa-X default.xbe to change the size of C5 & C6 roms (change 8 Mb in 4 Mb).
