Hey BP, I think a few of these are incorrect. I can check these, but not for a few days - probably Wednesday or Thursday. Also, some systems have more than 1 resolution - like the SNES. From the Wikipedia entry: "Images may be output at 256 or 512 pixels horizontal resolution and 224, 239, 448, or 478 pixels vertically. Vertical resolutions of 224 or 239 are usually output in progressive scan, while 448 and 478 resolutions are interlaced." Is there anyway you can code it so that the core sees the ROMs native resolution and doubles it (or triples in the case of 720p) to the appropriate resolution? I think it would make the most sense. (If its possible) Thanks again!

If you enable WIDESCREEN TWEAK (I think that's what it is called) it will compress the screen by 20% - unfortunately, in 480p mode, this introduces a very subtle distortion when trying to do pixel perfect. I'm not sure if it does it in 720p mode too. I just discovered this recently.

No, just two PVM monitors. I don't have the room for a cab and I find these work just as well. The one is a 21" that I have set on its side for vertical games and the other is a 30" for horizontals. I have both being fed SCART signals from this switch, which works great: http://www.cables.com/Products/4-2-SHINYBO...R__SB-5520.aspx Note: it has two outputs. Unfortunately, it looks a bit more pricey than it was when I bought it last Summer. I think I paid about $80. Oh, and I had to mod it a bit so it would do standard stereo (R/L) output from a headphone jack.

Keep checking Craigslist. Also, if there are any advertising or post production companies around you, give them a call and ask if they have any old SD monitors they want to get rid of. Usually, they do. I use these speakers: http://www.amazon.com/Creative-GigaWorks-M...3549&sr=8-3 wish i can find one , i only have a 21" Phil, one question what kind of speaker have you for the pvm ? can you give me details (especially the impedance) ?

That depends on how you look at it. I have a real N64 which has been modded for RGB output via SCART. This is the best output, arguably better than YUV, and it feeds to a 30" Sony PVM - pretty much the highest end CRT ever made. The native output is 240p - at least for all the games I have. I'm able to reproduce this look EXACTLY on my 50" HDTV by using Surreal at 480p, pixel perfect and turning on my SLG3000. Its literally as sharp and detailed as a real N64. If your not using scanlines though, I'm guessing that the output is better at 720p. I will have to play with that. The N64 is a really odd system graphics-wise, so really, anything goes.

Thanks, Ace, but I didn't really do anything aside from get it out there and suggest some arcades to add. BP did the real work here.

Hah! By the way, Sparda, I posted to your Emotia thread at Shmups. I should have one ready in a few weeks. I just have to do that PSU modification and test it out first. Talk soon

Blank, History will prove you an ass. Cheers Geez relax! You're like the soup nazi. I had to take mine down for a day to transfer to xbox and zip to upload to MU. And plus I've uploaded about 35gigs. And weren't you the one talking crap when I stated I was only getting about 200kb/s.

Ya, we'll just use a private tracker next time. No biggy. Just human nature I suppose.

You screwed the pooch somehow, son. CoinOps 2 works fine.

Hey BP, OK - well, on the torrent front it looks like we have about 9 seeds and 25 leechers. This is down from about 100 leechers a day or so ago. Funny how we only have 9 seeds though!? Oh, wait, that's because they cut and run after their download completed like we told them not to. Next time there is a release, it will be on a private tracker where ratio is forced. Too many selfish shitheads in the world apparently. No more public torrents after this. Good job guys!

Ah - OK, let me know how it goes and definitely post some picts! You're like - my nerdy twin brother! (I also have a modified X-Arcade. I put 2x Magstick Plus in since the stock sticks were awful!)

Hey, which one? That sounds awesome! Does it work well if there are a lot of wires plugged in?

Huh?

Who cares about stars. I honestly didn't notice them until a few months ago.

Hmmm, I honestly can't remember. BP and I were testing that - but it was a while back and I've been busy with stuff since then. BP may remember.

There were 3 when I looked this morning. Its probable that you're only connected to 1 seed as that is how it works - democratic distribution. 100k isn't bad either. Stop complaining, this was just posted 12 hours ago! Huh? Multiple seeders? Im only getting 1 seeder and 39 of 71 peers. Was getting 1000kbps but now its crept down to around 100k. How many people have completed the download just out of interest?

OK - looks like things are moving. Multiple seeds and lots of downloaders - more than EPIC #1 if I recall correctly. After you are done DL'ng - SEED. BP, do you want to work on PP this week/weekend? I have a brief lull at work, so I'll have time to test.

OK - Torrent is posted at KA - just search for CoinOps 2. There is only one seed at the moment, but more will be coming on in the next day. Thing will be slow at first, but will speed up. Do. Not. Complain.

Hey BP, We will all be in sync! The two seeders have finished downloading so the torrent will likely be going up late this evening. Regarding Super Mario Bros, that was one of the arcades I recommended adding (along with a lot of Nintendo VS and Play Choice games), but I don't think they made the CoinOps 2 cut. However, that's not to say they never will. BP and I can go through the list together and release an update patch for CoinOps 2 that would include additional arcades, maybe along with the release of PP for FBL/Consoles. Cheers

OK - this will be released tomorrow - probably to KA torrents. Ace, you just keep going with the seedbox, hopefully we'll have two other seeds ready tomorrow.

Plain old torrent. I never got the hang of usenet, but you're welcome to upload it there!

Looking like the torrent will be released tonight - or tomorrow at the latest. There will be an additional two seeds beside Ace. Please be aware, speeds will likely be slow in the beginning. This will get better as more people get the files and seed. Please seed and not just complain that the file is taking too long to complete. Do not cut-and-run after your download completes. With EPIC #1 a lot of people did that.

I think clones are in sometimes if they work better than the parent or something like that. BP will be able to answer that better. I know sometimes clones and bootlegs are used also if the encryption has been hacked out. Going out boozin' Clones will work, but you need to build them complete. Like, the parent files are in the clone ZIP. Why not just use the parent, if the clone is not needed, as I found with that Airwolf game. Phil, you even told me that only parent roms are in CoinOps. Ok, if I find any clones that differ from the parent, and add a new feature or something, I can do what you suggested Phil. No, I did not use FBL much when it was first released. I did read about the 720P issues, but this is still a work in progresss. I will be testing the games and take out or inform people of games with problems.
