[HELP]

Mediafire links 7, 8 and 9 are not working. Folders not found or empty.

Hi!


It worked for arccabview and ini files, but the "bilinear filtering" is lost, even though it is marked on.

Edit:

I tried leaving the "inipath" the same as it appears in the main emulator:
inipath = ini
I'm still testing, but it seems that way everything works fine.

First delete only the roms indicated in the instructions (in this case rockn.zip - rockn2.zip - rockn3.zip - rockn4.zip - rocknms.zip). Then cut and paste the update roms (ROMSET FROM v0.252.2 TO v0.254) into the main emulator's roms folder, accepting when it asks you to replace some files.

Hello

About MAME TINY:

[HELP]

Is there a way to make "arccabview" not enabled by default? (I checked in the emulator options and inside the "ini" files, but I didn't find that option).

So far what has worked for me is to disable it in "slider controls" every time a game is started, or modify the ini generated for each game in "OSD VIDEO OPTIONS", leaving "video" in "auto".

[TEST]

- As with the SB version, the TINY version also saves the ini files of each game in the root folder.


That's all, Bye bye!

**** Edit ****

I think I figured out the solution to both problems (default arccabview and the ini files created by each open game in the root folder):

In the "ini" folder, open "mame.ini", and right at the beginning in "CORE CONFIGURATION OPTIONS" write in "writeconfig" the value "0".

Thus the arccabview, if it appears activated when a game is played for fist time, it will be enough to change it only once in "Silder controls" (is a partial solution, but faster and more easy than the other options).

And ini files will no longer be created in the root folder for every game played. If the game properties are modified the resulting ini file will be saved in the "ini" folder.

[TEST] Bug in HB Mame Plus 64 and Arcade Plus 64.

A strange bug in "Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition [M7, bootleg]", where none of the 3 kicks work. I tried another random bootleg and the same thing happened. The parent game "Street Fighter II' - Champion Edition" (sfce.zip) works fine.

Hello!

A couple of suggestions for new versions of "Street Fighter III 3rd Strike", to consider:

- Modification of colors, Palmod, made by Hoods :

- Widescreen modification: It's not 100% yet, as it has some graphical glitches, but it still looks pretty good (in Fightcade it's available to see how it runs).

Yes, I use them separately. Regarding the crash, I imagine that it will only happen on PCs that do not have the resources to run the video system that comes by default, but I am commenting on it in case it also happens to someone the first time they try to open a game and they do not know the reason or how to fix it

[TEST]

About HBMAME PLUS *SB version*

For each open game it saves an ini file in the root folder. It doesn't affect gameplay, but it's weird.

And on this same version, every time I tried to play a black screen appeared, the emulator crashed and I had to scan the roms again. The bug was because "BGFX" was activated by default. Changing it to "auto" fixed it. I imagine that it will happen in some pcs and not in others.

[HELP]

More than me asking for help, I am writing to give a warning and help those who are downloading the romset from Mediafire+JDownloader:

Although it is normal for a few files to give a download error (these can be downloaded from other servers), it happened to me that a file was marked as downloaded (in Spanish I get "Finalizado(mirror)", I don't know how to indicate it in English or other languages), but it was not actually downloaded, which can be misleading.

The file was "m68705u3.zip", from folder #8. I give you the notice in case when you finish that folder it marks 399 instead of 400 files and you don't know which one you are missing.

Mientras te responde MasterStiller te puedo decir que en MAMEUI a mí a veces también se me bloquea la lista de juegos (ej: en los de cps3), pero es solo por unos 2 o 3 segundos así que no le he dado mucha importancia, aunque sí es curioso que no pase en ArcadeFIX.

Sobre los cierres lo que puedes tratar de hacer a ver si resulta es:
- En "View" desactivar "Software Area".
- En la carpeta raíz borrar "MAME_g.ini" y "MAMEUI.ini" (o renombrar momentáneamente para ver si al rehacerse los archivos se arregla).
- Borrar o renombrar momentáneamente los archivos de la carpeta "ini" y probar si se arregla.
* Si se arregla al borrar los archivos ini te quedas con los archivos nuevos y borras los viejos.

Sobre los "custom folders" hay que crear un archivo de texto, le pones el nombre que quieras y luego le cambias la extensión a ".ini". El archivo lo dejas en la carpeta "Folders". El archivo en sí debe tener escrito lo siguiente:



El juego puesto en "[ROOT_FOLDER]" es solo un ejemplo. En esa parte hay que poner la lista de juegos que quieras, uno por línea y sin extensión (ej: el rom es "ssf2.zip", pero en la lista se pone solo "ssf2").

Saludos!

Hello!

1) According to them it works in MameUI, but in reality it does not work. At least they keep pulling the dat file out, so we're fine for now.

2) I followed your advice, although it was enough just to add a couple of names in 3 entries (Warzad, Redearth and the Japanese version of Jojo's Venture), since the rest was fine. It was less complicated than I thought ( thanks !!).

3) Oh, I didn't know it was like that.

4) In that case, I'd better just use your file before I screw something up.

Well thank you very much, greetings and happy 2022!

Hello Masterstiller

I have four doubts:

1) Regarding the "history" file: how do you make the "xml" version that you add in the emulator work? It doesn't work for me, it only runs in "dat" format (I tried putting the xml in the root, history and dats folders, but it didn't work).

2) Is there a way to fix in future updates that "Red Earth / Warzard" appears in the "history" and in the "command.dat"?
(I think because of the renaming of the roms now it doesn't detect that data).

3) Regarding the addition of hacks: in the description it says that you have in mind to add some sagas. Have you thought about adding the "Mortal Kombat plus" games in the future?

4) And lastly: is the modified cheats file you added based on "Pugsy's cheat"? (Before I used simultaneously Pugsy and Wayder's cheats, therefore I want to know this in order to replace the pugsy with your cheats and keep the wayders) .

Well, thank you very much for your contributions!
Happy Holidays!

Hello Masterstiller

I do not know if I am doing the update of the roms correctly:

1) I deleted spcdraga.zip
2) I deleted jojo, jojoba, redearth, sfiii, sfiii2, sfiii3, warzard (including clones, total 41 files)



3) I copied and updated the new roms.

Total: 9,154 roms. Did I miss to delete some clones?

Hi!

Without the file "ldv1000.zip" the game "Esh's Aurunmilla" does not run.

Earlier i mentioned that adding as the second rom directory the main setrom (v0.236) could play some games. This was because in that setrom there were the files "pr8210.zip" and "simutrek.zip".

If I add the files "22vp931.zip", "ldv1000.zip", "pr8210.zip" and "simutrek.zip" to the roms directory all games can be played (except "Cliff Hanger set 3", "Cobra Command set 1 and 2 ", but as you say it seems that it is normal).
