First let me say that this is the most fucking awesome thing in the history of the universe. The new shaders make the games look absolutely amazing. One problem though, and maybe it's something on my end - my controls aren't being saved, and neither are things like the volume level in MK2 (say if I leave MAME and come back, the volume down again, and all the controls go back to default). Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

This superb update from Lantus is appreciated.

The crt filters [especially] are really nice  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

However, there may be a bug with cps2 titles as the dip switches cannot be accessed. Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks.

i dont have that problem (saving configs/volumes etc). For the config to stick you need to quit out of the rom

just noticed the CPS2 dip bug. Not sure why its happening, ill check into it

thanks

Sure did. Thanks for clearing this up.

When i use the super2xsai filter, i get a fatal error saying the driver could not be loaded.

That water filter does my eyes in, keep away from that one  biggrin.gif

confirmed. sorry about that , ill get it fixed up

by the way, my personal favorite filter is 5xBR. Definetly recommended

So far I love the HQ4X filter, gonna try 5xBR tonight. I didn't realize how to exit a ROM in this version of MAME (I thought I had tried just about every button combination, then saw it was Back+Start on the original post). Once again, this is absolutely amazing.

It's good to know!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I use your emulators since xbox1.

By the way, I don't have a 360 Jtagged, but I gave a look at your 5xBR port. It uses a 2.1 version. I have a 2.1a here but can't test on 360.

Here's the link (fx version): http://www.multiupload.com/0SLS6Z0A77

This 2.1a version was an attempt to preserve dithering, which plagues many CPS1/2/3 games. The dithering is hard to process, if a filter mess with dithering, the image quality goes down fast. So, I thought that for now the best to do about dithering is let it as is, that is, don't touch it. This is basically the differences between 2.1 and 2.1a. If you can test it on 360, try Street Fighter Alpha 1 or 2, compare the dithering at character select screen or the power and life bars during matches. The dithering can go nuts when a background scroll behind the grid. If you like the results of 2.1a, just replace the old 2.1. There's no need to keep two versions anyway. One final note: 2.1a consumes more GPU power, and I don't know if it runs fullspeed on 360.

Great! Another difference between 2.1 and 2.1a is that when a pixel is alone (one pixel surrounded pixels of other colors), 2.1a doesn't touch it, while 2.1 round it too much (for my taste). See if you like it more on 2.1 or 2.1a.

Hey Lantus any luck on a screen calibration setting? possibly in the next release?
Title: MAME v0.72 Release 2
Post by: brandogg on June 20, 2011, 01:25:00 PM
Anyone been able to use a complete ROMset with this? I can't upload more than 4,095 ROMs - just wondering if this is a limitation of the 360 filesystem, Filezilla, perhaps XEXMenu?
Title: MAME v0.72 Release 2
Post by: lantus on June 20, 2011, 03:50:00 PM
you can have multiple rom paths defined in the MAME.ini. There is a 4096 file limitation on the internal HDD - but that also doesnt apply to external USB

leo, yes next release..wont be this week as im tied up with work. probably next week sometime

Good, But what about ScreenshotPath? Can I use ;(Semicolon) like normal mame, and mame360?

e.g. my config from mame360 options.ini:
snapshot_directory = game:\snap;game:\snap\1;game:\snap\2;game:\snap\3;game:\snap\4;game:\snap\5;game:\snap\6;game:\snap\7;game:\snap\8


It took me some time fo find all screeshots, and I realy want to use them all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).

Thanks.

Weird Tekken and Tekken 2 are in this rom set but they do not show up in the actual emulator i am running release 2 anyone else having this issue also i noticed primal rage has no sound but runs great and primal rage 2 is also in the rom set but does not show up aswell
Title: MAME v0.72 Release 2
Post by: lantus on June 21, 2011, 01:26:00 PM
tekken games were experimental/not working in 0.72 and disabled in a release build. Same with primal rage

Post by: kingdt on June 21, 2011, 01:56:00 PM
I used to have a romset of around 4,000. Then i removed the various versions of each game, got down to about 1,500, deleted all the mahjong and i was left with 800, got rid of all the clones and was left with 500, got rid of all the old ones i'd never play and i was left with 2 roms, street fighter and mortal kombat smile.gif

weird primal rage 1 works GREAT but no sound haha and i have the latest sdk and the mame0142s.zip source code what would it take to compile? send me a pm please even if i can not get it optimized for the 360's power i would still like to see it running on it ^^

ALSO: i noticed that the screen calibration is almost FLAWLESS on flat screen monitors and tv's but i am running it on an OLDER SD tv so i figured out that the reason that the screen is over sized is due to that old ass tv

Great jobs, Filters are sick, better than the ones in mameplus. Now I have to search for a good rom set for .72

lantus, any luck on the pitch issue with the MK arcades i mentioned about in your first release? And, i still experience screen glitches in UMK3 with the hidden characters unlocked. Thank you for this awesome release!!

Just played MK Prototype for the fist time, kind of glitchy, but pretty awesome. Scorpion has the jump kick-spear combo in that one.

But if he uses an external HDD then he won't have the file limitation and can use all of his artwork?

lantus, sorry for asking this here, but ive been experiencing an issue with your fbanext for the ps3. Both r452 and r455 versions, will not get out of 16:9 aspect ratio? I set it to 4:3, and its always 16:9 aspect ratio? Why? :-(

Hi Lantus,

Can you test this new version of xBR filter I made?

It's the 3.0.


You can download it here:  xBR-v3.0 filter
