Unessential Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 For the longest time now, i've been using Kawaks 1.45 and 1.46 because of my lack of motivation to update anything... (i'm still on mozilla firebird now actually ) Anyway, I finally decided to download kawaks 1.54 and 1.55 and the first thing i noticed was that My neo geo games wouldn't show up... I assumed it was due to an update in the bios... (as it has happened before) so I grabbed that too, Now there's another issue, About half of my neo-geo Roms have Glitchy graphics while playing on the 1.5x versions of kawaks but are fine in the 1.4x Is it due to a bad copy of the bios?, or an update to the rom? and does this mean I have to Re-download all the neogeo roms that don't work with the new version?

Agozer Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 The most likely answer is that the sets have changed over time. Not all, but some have. Depends on how old your emulator actually was before you decided to download a more recent copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unessential Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) I don't believe that explains what's happening, because the games still run, It's just the graphics seem corrupt, if you can make out the positions the games are also still playable. also, I am sure the rom is fine because, again, The older version of the emulator runs the roms with no problem. the reason why i believe that it doesn't explain what's happening is because if the drivers were updated because the romsets have changed the CRCs of the old romset wouldn't match and would not be allowed run by the emulator.

Robert Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Kawaks is quite strict about CRC's, so yes, you would get an error if you had the wrong roms. But on the other hand, I had no problems at all with the graphics on 1.54 or 1.55 Can you tell us some system specs, and some games which are affected and in what way? (what do we look for to see the problem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unessential Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have no idea what specs are relevant... but... Intel Celeron 1.8 GhzATI RADEON 8500on Windows XP Quite a few games... The only ones i can remember right now areAero Fighters 3 and Samurai Shodown 3 and 4 The graphics look jumbled I can't describe it better than that. uhmn... Text is fine, sprites and images are not.

tiger1020x Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 (edited) i believe he may have the the old winkawaks type roms i remember some time ago winkawaks changed to match mame he could check his crc's and apply patches at micmano.net instead of redownloading his roms Edited December 23, 2005 by tiger1020x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest he gets the latest dat for kawaks 1.55 and use Romcenter or clrMame to comfrim that his roms are correct. Bad GFX in most cases means bad roms with kawaks.
