Looks nice.
I have 1 request. Can you please add more filters? I think AdvMame 2x filter blurs a lot (none too), and maybe more options will make many people happy... simple 2x for example (for crisp pixels), HQ2x etc, like many others emulators for Xbox.
Thanks, and looking forward for the Gold

What makes best Mame ....... - of course supporting biggest amount of good games (not removing options, new skin or keymap fixes)
An least try to fix:
- Gaiapolice
- sega driver (Golden Axe 2 , Spider-man ........)
New games that should be possible to good emulates on Xbox:
- Raiden Fighters series
- related to above ViperPhase1
- Cannon Dancer aka Osman (or vice versa)
Bring back possibility to turn on/off sound emulation

I love the fact I can turn a retard loose with it and they will not be able to mess anything up because the old options are HIDDEN.At first I was against this until I realized that the options were HIDDEN not REMOVED.
My only suggestion would be a read me included in the emulator that described that the options were still there but only could be changed via the ini.Also the location of the ini decribing how to change it and how it works.
I already know how to do this but it will cut down on the people who assume that the options are gone and not hidden and it will let them know how to make the changes.
This seems to be the biggest complaint people have.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
This is my take on it.
They say it is made for noobs and in a way it is.
But the irony of it is that those same people are the noobs because they cant figure this much out.

OSMAN (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
(IMG:http://hg101.classicgaming.gamespy.com/strider/osman-10.png)
(IMG:http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/6978/osmantz9.jpg)
but it seems hard to emulate this jewel on xbox
otherwise:
dual videos/screenshot(or flyer) display, because there are tons of games on mame and we need a fast way to see if a game looks good or not
(sometimes the screenshot is ugly but the game is good, resulting a lot of peoples don't play the games that must be played)
since there is videos support in zsnexbox, my neighbour kids are playing at some jewels
ex:marioworld, megaman x,skyblazer (they don't feel interest with the boxart/preview, but the videos give them the envy to test it)

Thats very great - edits ini then turn on emu then turn off because you want to change something - and around - very great but on Pc not on xbox.
Ini my boy was the firs thing i have check on this emu for perfect screen alignment which can be done only there.
And tell me what people can mess up then if simple button press run the game in all xbox Mame's ?

As i requested over @ 1emulation some time ago:
Please add "Cabal (bootleg)" with this soundfix instead of the "normal" Cabal. The "normal" Cabal works fine, but with the bootleg you can roll with the third Button and avoid enemy shots.
The bootleg is working already, but enemy shots sounds like the credits sound (see the link above).

;; Rom Status 1 is LAUNCH IN MAMEOX .72 CORE WITH SPEED HACK GAME
;; Rom Status 2 is TURN OFF SOUND WHEN RUNNING THE GAME (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Currently I added any games I know of that run with sound off but run badly with sound on, like the MK Series (soon to play under another core with sound) they are listed in spreadsheet and will be added if people tell me what to add, so they are set that way by default but anyone can edit this file themselves
;; Rom Status 3 is LAUNCH AS MEGADRIVE GAME
;; Rom Status 4 is ALL TIME CLASSIC
;; Rom Status 5 is HOT GAME
;; Rom Status 6 is LAUNCH AS SNES GAME
As agreed I can hand over alot of info that needs to be docummented but im not that interested in that stuff anyone can help with this I will tell them the info and they can write it up.

Is this close to being a final? I thought the Mame code wasn't public, how are you doing upgrades...
Post by: xyteam on September 29, 2008, 06:23:00 AM
you should keep fbaxxx as its a good emulator,having coinops and fba in your hd is definetly the way to go.
or do what i do and have coinops,fbaxxx and mame 128 and get the advantages of having all these emus in your hdd.
edit to add/yes this has neogeo games,all of them it has done for a very long time.

- Autofire Ability
- Test Menu: Its F2 on PC but can be changed while on MameOx128Plus, this feature allows you to adjust the game settings (This feature was already in the MameOx128Plus)
- Sound Menu: Basically setting up frequencies and volume adjustments (This feature was already in the MameOx128Plus)
I think that's about everything that needs to be added unless the romsets can be updated to the latest Mame.
Post by: BritneysPAIRS on October 01, 2008, 12:44:00 AM
Autofire is done as well
New settings
Automattically add a game you play if its been played more than 5 times
Show a visual representation of times played
Change the Screensaver timer to do Shutdown Dim or Picture slideshow

Post by: underworlderZer0 on October 01, 2008, 12:56:00 AM
These may seem odd requests, and might be too difficult to implement in time for Gold (if at all), but are some things to at least consider...
---"Allowance Mode"
This would be an option to limit the amount of times you can "add a coin" for each launch of a game. It would provide an element of challenge to games that allow unlimited buy-in continues and simulate the old days of having a certain amount of tokens to play with.
I remember the challenge of trying to finish Golden Axe, Final Fight, or TMNT with a pocket full of $5.00 worth of tokens. Playing on an emulator and being able to continuously press the back button to buy back in takes away alot of the challenge and fun IMO.
---"Virtual Arcade"
This would be an option to assemble a virtual arcade by randomly selecting a set number of games. With 1000+ roms, it can be a bit overwhelming whe trying to decide what to play, when that number is pared down to somewhere between 12 and 50, it becomes much easier for the mind to wrap itself around.
Another feature could be to "create you own arcade" where you can add your favorite games to the list (Really just a more "flavorful" way to present the favorites list). You could save different 'arcades' as well- maybe recreate your local arcade from back in the day (I have many fond memories from our mid-80's hangout "The Wizard's Den" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ).
Another feature could be running the "Arcade gauntlet", where a player would get one credit on each of the games in the arcade and keep a running total score, which could be saved to a list of high scores. That sounds like it might be trickier to implement, though.
Just some things to think about.
Keep up the good work, BP!

I always thought the allowance mode type thing would be a great addition to make it feel like I only had the amount of quarters my old man would give me and my brothers at the arcade. Glad to see somebody else likes it. I also like the "Arcade Gauntlet" idea. Cool way to keep score with friends.
Have to agree with BP though that the other part seems pretty scattered and/or redundant the way that you explained it.

Request: At least the option for game settings to be mapped to the right thumbstick... Perhaps this could be set in the emu settings from the home screen? Main reason for this is because some of the xbox bios have the "back-white" combo mapped to "shutdown" which obviously is a problem for these users. It is much more difficult to ask people to learn to change their xbox bios settings than an emulator setting. Just a thought.

That idea seems pretty popular to me. Maybe your parents were rich and you got to play $50.00 worth of arcades or more everytime you went, but my brothers and I usually had about $2.50 a day to work with at the arcade. It's a simulation thing. You wouldn't understand if you're younger than me and didn't go to the arcade much because the home consoles were already better than the arcades.

Added in sound fixs and new driver for Toaplan2 games
Added in new Action Rotating Weapons cat
Fixed many more games
added in another 20 od games
Added in more lightgun fixs
Added in Lightgun cat
Added in Red for lightgun color
Doing a once over tonight of all cats, screenshot and cutting down the recommended games lists.
Then its stable enough for release I would say
Things left to do
Think about autofire option and what I really think about it (partially coded)
Think about Coin Allowence option and what I really think about it (partially coded)
Think about Screen filters and what I really think about them (partially coded)
Add Raiden Fighters 2000 Driver
everything else is bug tested and placed in to a standard way higher than CoinOPS

I get it man.... but that's cause I spent about 4-5 months working on MAME myself. And I tested them out on 128 plus first before I went back and tested on your build. Huge difference. To somebody who knows better, there's not even a debate on which emu is the superior XBox MAME emu. And you're the only one I'm aware of who is still doing updates, so that's another big plus.

BETA is ready, im just going over and fine tuning the screenshots and Cat at present. It is then ready for release the other stuff can be patched in pretty quick and small.
I also dont like Right click actions it doesnt feel right.... although in the Game selector I use it for "sort by Times played" and jump up to the game I played the most (these extra sort keys can be turned off in the settings).
RX Hop onto MSN or add me to try the Beta maybe you can clean up some screenshots or Cat stuff...new GF is getting in the way time wise at present

As far as what emulator you should use, I would always suggests using Coinops for the older arcade stuff and FBAxxx for the neogeo cps2 stuff... My opinion. But this has been covered countless times before, I'd suggest a search to see what others had to say on the topic.

Wasn't ignoring you here. I just can't get into MAME right now with all of the other things I've been doing if I want to keep my sanity. I basically spent this weekend getting all the work I'm doing organized because it was driving me crazy not knowing how much progress I've made anywhere because I'm all over the map. At least now I have an idea of where I'm at and what still needs to be done.
I'll try to help you out on your next release, assuming there is one. Still keeping my fingers crossed that the elusive genius NES comes back to give you a little help with the videos. I have 4 DVD's worth of .avi's for MAME. Actually the whole set for all the emus was 10 DVD's so you can see just how many were made for MAME.

Didnt add any filters ... added 720p but removed it as alot of games no longer worked or became sluggish. 480p is the best you can get and turn off smoothing. It looks pretty sharp on my 42inch LCD.

Yeah, I understand the 720p problem, cause uses more memory and more CPU... but something I dont get it is: Why remove graphics filters, if they're cool features and its already implemented. I remember MamedOX 128 Plus running with nice filters, but they're gone now. Thats sad... oh well..

So all this features are already there? The current CoinOPS+ have this "single game config" working via Romstatus.xml?
Thats pretty cool, a list with all this XML tags will be nice, so we can tune each game with this stuff (like test many games with/without filters and see if affect the speed / visual , set volume etc).
I can do that, if you send me this info. I'm familiar with XML, C++ etc

Thought it might be handy to put some instructions on how to do stuff in coinops+/gold here:
In Game Controls
------------------
Cancel - BACK and START
On screen display - BACK and Right Analog
button
Toggle Crosshair - BACK and Left Analog
button
UI Configure - BACK and White button
Pause - BACK and Black button
Reset ROM - BACK, Left and Right
triggers
******* Load State - BACK, Right Analog
button, and Left trigger
******* Save State - BACK, Right Analog
button, and Right
trigger
Save Screenshot - BACK, A button, and B
button
Cool,
So was wondering how people are getting on with their screenshots? how do you link a screenshot to a game in the list? I assume you take the screenshot while playing the game "Save Screenshot - BACK, A button, and B button" is it then linked? or do you have to change some *.ini settings somewhere?
This bit is for people googling how to do stuff in coinops ((how to save game savegame screenshot coinops+ coinops gold pause load reset configure toggle)) - (should help people looking for instructions)
Coinops GOLD = class!!!

I used to use a 30" Sony Trinitron 4:3 res TV with Beretta 92fs Light Guns. No issues with the working roms.
see previous post on working rom list.
Changed at xmas to 37" 16:9 HD @ 720p with LCDTopGun, however if you stretch or resize the screen options to fit the rom to a 16:9 display you will suffer a lensing effect. I will explain. From the center of the screen then moving outwards ( left or right doesnt matter) the calibration stretches further out as you move from the center. To combat this i play my mame games in the native 4:3 type res but calibrate the LCDTopGun to cover the visible screen of 16:9. Works for me a treat very accurate (down to 1 or 2 mm). For 16:9 TVs over a certain size (32" i think) it is best to mount the LCD rails in a horizontal config. PS sit still with LCDTopGun as its mapping is laser guided so any movement or shuffling about on the sofa tends to stray from your fixed calibration but its not really a big issue.
Happy Gaming.

I know CoinOps Gold it's not out yet... but I was playing with Photoshop and done a skin for me to use with it and I want to share with you guys.
This is what looks like:
DOWNLOAD (if you like it)
Btw, BP... did you add more filters to this version? CoinOPS is a really nice emulator but the image looks a little blurred compared with others emus (on LCD TV).
I use Simple 2x + Bilinear and 720p in many xport (and zsnexbox) and everything looks crisp and vibrant.
Well, anyway... looking forward
Doesn't work with the latest CoinOPS Gold that is out and about. The games list text is misplaced.
Can you fix this?

I know some of them when you start give you the message that "this game has no sound" or "this game lacks sounds". Does this mean the rom file truly has no sound in it or that no one has successfully "relinked" up the sound for the game?
The one game in particular I was refering to was "special forces" from 84 or 1986. I used to play this in the arcades and was searching for it for a number of years (recalled the game but not the title). It was not until I was browsing my mameOX that I decided to try it out (based on the screenshot of the title and year it was made) and rejoice in the fact that this was the game I had been looking for close to 20 years. Naturally the irony sets in and this had the "lacks sound" message.

I was wondering if it had some sort of "allowance mode". I know you were talking about looking into it for this release.

its because mame on xbox is at version 0.84 that some games werent fully emulated/cracked at the time so really i suppose the driver would probably need updated.you can ask bp in this thread if he could take a look at the driver seeing as he is working on fixing/adding new drivers.
hmm I do have a mame set from within the last year or so. I should see if the game has sound on that edition. If not, I can still contact BP and see if something could be done.
Oh and thank you again for the nice hookup xyteam!

CoinOPS Ignite...? I love your way of naming your chronicles BP, It gives character and is much more fun than 1.00000111. releases.
I am in the understanding that you also make each precious release count.
Great all around work!
And, Thank You Very Much BP

And: INFINITE, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
If this feature gets alive, it will be perfect!!!
Wow!
About the naming thing, I like the PLATINUM, GOLD and now IGNITE.
But one thing I think you should think about is to TAG/MARK inside
the XBE the current version, with DATE and a version NUMBER besides
the fancy name.
I really miss this on most of the emulators.
We never know what version we are using!
Best,
Cospefogo.

I didn't know if you were still going to take this further. Nice to see you're still working on it. By the time I get around to checking it out I'm sure I'll be amazed at all the new features.
I think it's probably best to do the one that MM picked. My old man used to give me and my brothers $2.50 each to play when we were kids. Maybe some kids just got a buck or the really rich kids got $5.00. If you got much more than that every time you went to the arcade, your parents should have probably just bought you a Neo-Geo system.

Hi guys,
First of all thanks britneyspairs for this great emu, and thanks to everyone who has helped him with the project. I am finishing a custom multiemu cabinet with an xbox and coinops gold is one of the main emus on it. I have a couple of questions regarding the use of it.
-I'm looking for an updated vmm.txt file since coinops gold gives me malloc failed errors in lots of games.
I've created a collection out of the mame 0.128 romset, by using romcenter, it actually counts with 4000+ games, and i found problems with several games from the mid/late 90's, i.e. primal rage. Is there any site with an updated vmm.txt file? the one i have doesn't have many entries.
-Although i'm making an unleashx skin for the project, i was thinking about creating in the near future a custom XBMC frontend for it, since the rest of the emus can launch roms directly from xbmc, and reading around i've seen certain scripts that allow the launch of an .xbe through a command line while passing arguments to it. Does coinops support this command line execution?
thanks in advance.
command line is in there i think but was never actually tested.
when it comes to games like primal rage the vmm has to written for it,maybe np will tell you how to do that.with earlier versions like arcades you could just turn on the vmm and you were good to go.

Primal rage runs pretty bad really but works fine
Good luck

add the games into vm.txt search for a larger game like sf3 or kof2003 and copy the vm settings for larger games.

Good luck
Now that's a good idea, I hadn't think about it that way. thanks BP.
And sorry to bother you again, is there any way to create run roms through command line? I'm more than happy with the way it works now, but i'd like to work on an XBMC emu frontend to use on xbox based cabs.
It would be great to get for the xbox that seamless feeling you get outta some solutions for pc that are out there, like maximus arcade or hyperspin.

it would see .zip as a mame game and .fba as a fba rom the same as default.xbe at present. This way you can add a 1000 games and not need to do cut files
Post by: superchango on December 04, 2008, 06:17:00 AM
I never heard of it, and obviously i don't have a clue how it works. the 2 emulator launchers for xbmc (retro-x and emulauncher) are compatible with the xport emus, and then fbaxxx pro has the .cut thing, but i thought mame didn't have any support at all.
Any tutorials/documentation about this mame integration? I've been reading your thread in 1emulation and haven't seen anything about it. Might have looked past the info or something.
Hell I have a pending certification exam, and it seems i'm gonna leave it for even later than i thought, but as they say, first things first!
cheers!

if you are going to use .cutfiles then make sure you use a biuld of xbmc before april08,as this feature was taken out of versions of xbmc after that.
Are you sure? Bomb Bloke said cut files still work it was bookmarks that got replaced by favourites.

Anyway, i'll be following the scene so if you have any intentions of releasing this, i'll be more than happy to offer myself for beta testing.
good luck with the project.
