gamez fan Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 this is an unoffical build that was stripped down and not released by BritneysPAIRS it will be kicking around the torrents somewhere if youget this build you WONT be able to play the following as the cores roms and videos were removed i would recommend that you AVOIDthis and get instead the OFFICAL lastest release which is coinops 3 sunset it will have all files you need to play every game supported and it's unlocked if you get this build using the torrents you'll know about it as many games wont work ill list whats missing below FBL arcade gamesALL console gamesMidway arcade games with sound mamexb6 core ive put this here as i was partly responseable for it although i did not create or distrubute it i did egg on its creation it's caused no end of hastle for ordinary users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ T + Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Would this not be useful for people who only use CoinOPS for its MAME component and use standalone emulators for other systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamez fan Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) problem is +T+ not wanting to sound big headed or make out im an expert or anything i know how to work my emus where as most coinops users dont they really need something that just works outta the box so to speak and this build will cause them all sorts of issues i put this here just to let them know what build to go for i guess if you know your stuff then and just want mame arcade only set by all means get this buildbut if you're new to emulators in general and have never used coinops then i would 100% recommend an offical buildat least that way everything arcade consoles etc will work for ya gamewise Edited March 26, 2012 by gamez fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ T + Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 My understanding is that CoinOPS is distributed as a complete package, so to download all the console components must add up to a lot of extra gigabytes for users that just want the MAME side of things and use other emulators for their console games. So I wouldn't underestimate the appeal of a package like this. Anyone who needs help with setting up or working their emulators can come here. Since we are the unofficial home of CoinOPS now, we can support any and all custom builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamez fan Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) i dont underestimate the appeal of a set like this at all as ive got an arcade only build of coinops personally which i made myself the problem with a set like this for novices is say you had full set coinops 2 and wanted to upgrade to coinops 3 if you were to get this thena whole lot of your games be it arcade or consoles that worked for ya before would suddenly stop working thats why i would always recommend an offical coinops release if your new to emulators and coinops is what you want of course going the offical route wont always work as there are locks implemented again so in theory you could have a certain number of games in your set upgrade to a new release and it would'nt work also yes coinops is released as full package but if you have a full set from before you could just get a standalone release and add what's new gamewise yourself would save a whole lot of downloading but then again you would also have to kinda know what your doin going the standalone route as you would have to add your roms know where to put them how to set up pointers etc as well as find the videos for the games Edited March 26, 2012 by gamez fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknior Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 (edited) So cool ... i love the idea Make a CoinOPS with all MAME games and remove "FBL arcade games" and "ALL console games" ...But why removing "Midway arcade games with sound mamexb6 core" .. Where we can found it ? Can we upgrade it ? Edited March 27, 2012 by darknior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Maybe in the future Coinops will have optional plugin bits, so you can decide how much emulation you want. So if you want the smallest stripped-down build, it only have MAME, then if you wanted, attach things for other systems, all the way up to the Ultimate do-everything version.
