Only Kawaks/Nebula with loader is in asr.dat MAME doesn't have an equivalent, you need to compile MAME with your additions.

Yes.

You are trying to make kof2002 a parent of kof2k2nd and making kof2k2nd a parent of kf2k2pa and kf2k2pls. You are not allowed to make parents of parents. Make kof2002 a parent of the 3 others.

Changed "&" in title to "and", because "&" crashes RSS feed.

The one specified was 2058ec5e. You have the encrypted one which I could not find anywhere. To get it to work, you will have to add an extra line in the DRIVER_INIT section, just above the "init_neogeo()" line. My guess is the line would be: neo_pcm2_playmore_2002(5); But you'll need to add an extra subroutine just above any DRIVER_INIT's you've added. // © PLAYMORE 2002 20-09-2004 //-------- to decypt v roms ----------------- static void neo_pcm2_playmore_2002(int value) { //kof2002,matrimelee,mslug5 (pcb and mvs),samsho5,svcchaos (pcb and mvs),kof2003 (pcb and mvs),samsh5sp (mvs and aes) //offset,xor address unsigned int addrs[7][2]={ {0x000000,0xA5000}, //kof2002 {0xFFCE20,0x01000}, //matrimelee {0xFE2CF6,0x4E001}, //mslug5 {0xFEB2C0,0x0A000}, //samsho5 {0xFFAC28,0xC2000}, //svcchaos {0xFF14EA,0xA7001}, //kof2003 {0xFFB440,0x02000}, //samsh5sp }; unsigned int xordata[7][8]={ {0xF9,0xE0,0x5D,0xF3,0xEA,0x92,0xBE,0xEF}, //kof2002 {0xC4,0x83,0xA8,0x5F,0x21,0x27,0x64,0xAF}, //matrimelee {0xC3,0xFD,0x81,0xAC,0x6D,0xE7,0xBF,0x9E}, //mslug5 {0xCB,0x29,0x7D,0x43,0xD2,0x3A,0xC2,0xB4}, //samsho5 {0xC3,0xFD,0x81,0xAC,0x6D,0xE7,0xBF,0x9E}, //svcchaos {0x4B,0xA4,0x63,0x46,0xF0,0x91,0xEA,0x62}, //kof2003 {0x4B,0xA4,0x63,0x46,0xF0,0x91,0xEA,0x62}, //samsh5sp }; UINT8 *src = memory_region(REGION_SOUND1); UINT8 *buf = malloc(0x1000000); int i, j, d; memcpy(buf,src,0x1000000); for (i=0;i<0x1000000;i++) { j=BITSWAP24(i,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,0,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,16); j=j^addrs[value][1]; d=((i+addrs[value][0])&0xffffff); src[j]=buf[d]^xordata[value][j&0x7]; } free(buf); }

What is the CRC of the V rom that you are using?

Yes it is possible, although because it was a work-related thing, we set up a Sandisk Mini-Cruzer usb stick to boot to Windows 98 command-line. You didn't say what OS you wanted to boot into, or for what purpose.

In what way is it bad? Does it keep repeating like an echo box, or is it all fuzzy?

It is? LOL Congratulations, have a good day. Present for you: robbbert attacked Disoblige with a Atomic Bomb (672 str) and took off 1244! Disoblige has 0 HP left!

It's the driver I happened to find. I just had a look and I don't possess the encrypted rom anyway. So there's not much choice.

Look for this one: static void neogeo_custom_memory(void)

Yes that driver is a bit old now. This is what I have, it's a rather complex driver.

Good luck.

As I don't have mod rights on this forum, we will have to wait for a supermod or admin.

I've yet to encounter a mame version that overall goes faster than its predecessor.

I was wondering that myself.
