Robert Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 MGD sets are different and no amount of romcenter work will fix them. The real NRX (last version 0.6c) supports this format, but the hacks do not. The really bad thing about MGD's are that quite a few are bad dumps! You would be better off playing those early neogeo games on kawaks, mame, or nebula (and using mame romsets). For those used to reading MAME code, here is the weird code needed to get an MGD set working: ROM_START( eightman ) ROM_REGION(0x100000, REGION_CPU1, 0) ROM_LOAD16_BYTE ( "n046001a.038", 0x000001, 0x040000, CRC(e23e2631)) ROM_CONTINUE ( 0x000000, 0x040000 ) NEO_SFIX_128K( "n046001a.378", CRC(a402202b)) NEO_BIOS_SOUND_128K( "n046001a.4f8", CRC(68b6e0ef)) ROM_REGION(0x200000, REGION_SOUND1, 0) /* sound samples */ ROM_LOAD( "n046001a.1f8", 0x000000, 0x080000, CRC(0a2299b4)) ROM_LOAD( "n046001a.1fc", 0x080000, 0x080000, CRC(b695e254)) ROM_LOAD( "n046001b.1f8", 0x100000, 0x080000, CRC(6c3c3fec)) ROM_LOAD( "n046001b.1fc", 0x180000, 0x080000, CRC(375764df)) ROM_REGION(0x300000, REGION_GFX3, 0) ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "n046001a.538", 0x000000, 0x40000, CRC(c916c9bf)) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x000002, 0x40000 ) ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "n046001a.638", 0x000001, 0x40000, CRC(7114bce3)) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x000003, 0x40000 ) ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "n046001a.53c", 0x100000, 0x40000, CRC(4b057b13)) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x100002, 0x40000 ) ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "n046001a.63c", 0x100001, 0x40000, CRC(51da9a34)) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x100003, 0x40000 ) ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "n046001b.538", 0x200000, 0x40000, CRC(12d53af0)) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x200002, 0x40000 ) ROM_LOAD32_BYTE( "n046001b.638", 0x200001, 0x40000, CRC(43cf58f9)) ROM_CONTINUE( 0x200003, 0x40000 )ROM_END As you can see, bytes need swapping about, and entire blocks are in the wrong places.

pyro Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 ok heres my situation on the thing.i mainly use nebula and i have over a 160 romsbut recently ive this urge to play this kof 10th anniversary game(cuz i havent played kof in a while and want somethin new)but for some reason this rom that i downloaded wont work with nebula nor will it work with this new version of nrx that i got. now i kinda know that no ammount of romcenter work is gonna change my romsets cuz ive tried that before, if there is something u could reccomend me in order to play the kof hack, what would u say i do?remember i mainly on nebula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Just to add a few more facts, MDG sets are dumps from Neo-Geo AES cattridges, instead of dumping them directly from the arcade boards. I still have a couple of MDG sets floating around as well. The original NRX supported MSDG sets, because back then (1999) MDG sets were still a big deal. After that, these sets gradually lost popularity to the arcade dumps. Isn't that KOF 10th set encrypted, and that it doesn't reaslly work in NRX unless you can find a fully decrypted version? I don't like hacks so my overall interest is fairly low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 Well it works on Kawaks and Mame, it may well on Nebula but I've never tried making a dat for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 ok ive got one final question. yall answer this one and all my problems are solved. supposing i just downloaded about 181 neo geo roms all encrypted sets. can rom center produce a gigantic dat file for all of them which will enable me to play them on nebula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 To my understanding, nebula can't decrypt every encrypted set out there, SNK Vs. Capcom: Chaos being one of them (Nebula needs to use decrypted Cs for SvC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 wellt hen i guess these arent the encrypted sets, romcenter says all 181 are incomplete, yet nrx 5.0 reads all of them. someway i can generate a gigantic dat file for them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I dn't think there's anything to automatically make a giant asr.dat, but you might like to read these (if you haven't done so already). http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4912 http://www.1emulation.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=16164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyro Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 well ive seen the first one before, just not the second one. all the rom files inside my roms end with a.rom extension. what kind of sets are these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Neo-Geo sets. What did you think they were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
