New MAMEoX

[sammaz]

Nice find on the mameox pre-.72 sources Prican!!!

 

now they can implement the dcs hack!!!!

I don't make requests very often, but I have one. Would it be possible to add the SPI update from the newest mame source? It decrypts the Raiden Fighters 2 graphics!! If it's not possible, it's all cool. Thanks for all of your hard work!

i was going to request this

Id say the UI features (long over due to make sorting 4000plus games useable and pretty) will go in first and maybe in a short time....then we will call for help putting in new drivers.

 

But esby is launching into it at full steam hard to know where hes up to hour to hour, hes really doing a wonderfull job

well mame 72 is an improvement for midway games with dcs compared to the latest, 71.b had the dcs sound hack which made those games a lot more playable.

 

you can grab the source to it from here as xbins doesn't have 71.b src: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.p...ackage_id=79947

Cheers for that Prican, I've downloaded it and had a quick poke around, but due to me being a complete noob at this kind of thing (ie programming!) it's a little harder than I first anticipated. Could I just overwrite the.84 files that deal with midway games (ie. dcs.c dcs.h midyunit.c midyunit.h etc.) with the 71.b files or is there a better way of doing it? (sorry if this is a silly question btw)

I was reading about the update today, I'm a big shmup fan and I wanted to get Raiden Fighters 2 to work, so I'll definitely have a go. I also wanted to include the drivers for Super Trio, just for the pure reason that I like the look of it

 

Obviously I can't promise anything though. I wish I could, but it's a whole new learning curve for me. I'm learning more about the code every day.

 

Cheers for the kind words BritneysPAIRS. I appreciate it.

 

I'll keep you updated ...

Ebsy.

Cutesy game alert!

 

Sorted

 

If only adding Raiden Fighters 2 code was so easy.

awesome Ebsy!!!

 

I just want to throw this out there...have any of you noticed that V-sync problem? like if the screen is mooving very fast and you can see that V-sync is not really working...there is a "tear" in the screen....i think we can fix this...

 

somewhere in the mameox source there is a setting for "refresh" rate for all games...globally

 

this needs to be hard coded to 15.7khz it is set at 31khz right now because it was a pc port (VGA monitors have 31k refresh rate) and the people wo ported it forgot to adjust it to the xbox's settings...the xbox always outputs 15.7khz unless you are using a VGA bios then you are outputting 31khz for a VGA monitor....but mameox is not for pc!!! and that is why you see the tearing effect...its not V-sync'ing correctly

 

so if you see refresh rate settings we can hard code it to 15.7khz and the tearing will go away and mameox will look better than fbaxxx

VSync has never worked properly in MAMEoX so it would be nice if something could be done to make work like MAME-X..

 

It would also be great to have the option of using the Simple2x graphics filter instead of/as well as the AdvanceMAME2x one for that authentic look.

[sammaz]

advancemame2x looks clearer on the arcade machine...but you are correct! mame-x has sync at 15.7Khz

 

for sure this will fix it

[dantesinferno]

Any chance of a cpu speed option similar to fba-xxx?

[zero5]

Does the light gun work well ?

[+ T +]

advancemame2x looks clearer on the arcade machine...

Yes but it creates an ugly edge-smoothing effect (which I know some ppl like) and also slows things down alot. Simple2x is just as sharp, but creates a look more true to the original display with only a negligable (if any) effect on performance.
