You only gave me a few examples of games that didnt' work from the get-go and they were all in my updated spreadsheet already. To this day I have no idea what errors you're speaking about that I didn't already have marked as needing to be fixed on games before they were added. You have yet to tell me one that I didn't already know about. I do have our conversations saved because I didn't want to lose your instructions on how to alter game names with the hex-editor and how to alter the catver correctly, so I'm sure I can dig up a few quotes from you that were more than mildy abrasive. I don't think you appreciate how much time I've put into this before you say some of the things that you do. I'm certain that if you took the time to look at my updated data in the spreadsheet that you'd see we already agree on most of the errors.
For the record, when I first gave you the folder with working roms, I had NOT tested them in Arcades yet. My original intentions when starting this thread was to get a MAMEox128 working romset, but I quickly discovered that your emulator was much more advanced. I told you the night that I supplied you with what you asked me for that they were not tested in Arcades and that they were tested in MAMEox 128. After our discussion I then spent the next two days going through all of the "Add" games and the "Change" games using Arcades and tested each one individually and thouroughly, even remarking what key-mapping changes needed to be made where necessary. (This is what I'm mad that I did, because if nothing comes out of this I can't get that wasted time back) Chances are that I missed a few even with the updated spreadsheet, but that's why there are two people testing. Honestly, there are a lot of games that worked fine without fixing in Plus that needed altering in Arcades so I do know what you're talking about there. When I went through and retested roms that didn't work in Plus, about 50 of them worked in Arcades without any problems and another 25 or so will work fine after keymapping changes. I know from experience that the two emulators handle about 10% of the roms very differently. You keep mentioning 60 games that you needed to fix, and I'm pretty sure that if you look at my spreadsheet, the number of games I say needed to be fixed is pretty close to 60 if not right on.
Take a look at my spreadsheet. Just because I packed all 550+ games together the first time and didn't separate screen errors or keymapping problems doesn't mean that they weren't re-tested in Arcades. All of the info is there. Sure, I may have a few mistakes, but nowhere near the 10% you're claiming. As for the second batch that I provided to you on Monday or Tuesday, they should all be separated and I'd be suprised if you disagreed with anything I said about them in the spreadsheet.
It's a shame we can't get past our differences here. I have also have quite a few suggestions for remapping games you've already added as well, such as Robocop II so you could use the X for attack left, A for attack right and B for jump. I can't remember off the top of my head at work, but I know that it's not set up that way and it doesn't feel natural.

might give the people what ive done, but I wont work with you further to produce what you want as you simply wont listen to there is alot of ERRORS that need fixing about 10 percent of games have issues outside of keymapping and the need to stop it only playing on second boot so I wont support it, you will need to go back and fix the issues.
I'm not even sure what most of that means, but as for "you will need to go back and fix the issues", I would gladly do just that, but as you've already mentioned, I don't have the source. And you've already said that if you weren't adding the game that you wouldn't take the time out of your day to fix them for my patch.
