Robert Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Two more emulators! callus, 0.42, 1998, no instructions, unable to run any games.looks like it requires files and folders rather than zipfiles.Any ideas? calice, 0.4.6, 2001, no instructions, unable to run any games.There is a folder full of .drv files, which look something like loader .dat files. I'm not sure if its just something to read, or it controls the games. It lists crc codes in there, so perhaps it uses zip files. If the .drv files control the emu, it becomes quite flexible - as long as you know what to do. What comments or help can you give? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 (edited) No, Callus works with Zips, AFAIK. have you specified a rom folder? I recommend Callus over Calice anyday. Edited February 1, 2005 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 No, Callus works with Zips, AKAIK. have you specified a rom folder? I recommend Callus over Calice anyday.It called callus95 to be exact. I did specify my mame roms folder as the roms folder. I tried every game and none worked. There is no crc list anywhere so I don't know what rom set names, or rom names to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no crc list anywhere so I don't know what rom set names, or rom names to use.Here's the list of the games I have and their setnames: 1941 --> 1941 - Counter Attack (9002??) (vertical) 3wonders --> Three Wonders (910520) captcomm --> Captain Commando (911014) cawing --> Carrier Air Wing (901012) dino --> Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (930201) dwj --> Dynasty Wars (89????) ffigth --> Final Fight (90????) forgottn --> Forgotten Worlds (88????) ghouls --> Ghouls'n Ghosts (88????) knights --> Knights of the Round (911127) kod --> The King of Dragons (910711) megaman --> Mega Man - The Power Battle (951006) mercs --> Mercs (900302) (vertical) msword --> Magic Sword: Heroic Fantasy (900725) mtwins --> Mega Twins (900619) nemo --> Nemo (901130) pnickj --> Pnickies (940608) punisher --> The Punisher (930422) slammast --> Saturday Night Slam Masters (930713) strider --> Strider (89????) unsquad --> U.N. Squad (89????) varth --> Varth - Operation Thunderstorm (920612) (vertical) willow --> Willow (8906??) wof --> Warriors of Fate (921002) You can look at the individual set names and rom names by choosing "Write Gamelist" in the Callus menu. Then open gamelist.txt Edited February 1, 2005 by Agozer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted February 1, 2005 Author Share Posted February 1, 2005 Thank you for that. In my mame roms, the indivual roms are renamed to their crc instead. This is acceptable for all mame variants, kawaks, nebula, and final burn. It means that the one zip can support all those emus and different versions of each, at the same time. Will Callus and calice work this way? At the moment it seems not. NRX doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 I thought it was clear enough..? The roms are renamed to their crcs For example, for the game 'invaders', usually you needinvaders.e, invaders.f, invaders.g invaders.h If you opened my invaders.zip, you would see0ccead96, 14e538b0, 6bfaca4a, 734f5ad8 This works because mame, kawaks, nebula, and final burnlook at the crc first, not the filename. Only if a correct crc isnot found, will mame look for matching filenames and issuea warning. Kawaks completely ignores filenames. Nebula andFinal Burn haven't been tested, but I would expect them towork the same way as kawaks. Why do it? I have one zip file, the fully-merged set, containingthe roms for the parent and all children within the one zip.This one zip is used by all 4 emus, and as we know the romsaren't always exactly the same between them. Further, I havemultiple versions of some emus. It saves having lots of similarsets laying about. My kof2001 set has 45 roms in it - and itdoesn't cover everything - still more roms to be found. I don't expect that you would like it or understand it, but itsuits my purposes just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
