"Pepone + Reesy = Great things"

I knew these two would be a great combination, and I think everyone would agree that its been vindicated.

Should actually be Pepone = fDave = Flubba = Reesy !

Can anyone point me to the Wikipidia article about this emu?
Thanks
 
I've only had a small amount of time to try it and so far it's been all good.

Thanks again to Pepone, fDave, Flubba & Reesy :)

You're all the same person! My God! How do you fit it all in?

O-o-o oooh Yeah!

Really, really, really GREAT!

Metal Slug 2/X and Samurai Showdown 4 now run on somewhat playable speed WITH sound, didnt try without sound yet, but I guess very nice speed ;D.

Great Improvements, thank you pepeone and helpers for this emu so far ;) !
 
youre bunch of mad scientists gneo2x is like poetry in motion now love u guys :p
 
I'm really loving gngeo, it's the only thing I have my 2x now! :D

I've spent the last few days testing all the games in the romrc file. I'll add my results to the wiki compatability list when I get time. I'd already tested most games with 6.10 so I'll probably go back and check with the Z80 version now.

I've found a couple of games that don't work correctly with the Z80 beta...

Wind Jammers - no sound
Ghostlop - no sound

TIP: If anyone wants both the regular 6.10 and Z80 beta versions installed at the same time simply rename the Z80 "gngeo" file to something like "z80gngeo" then edit the list of commands in your "gngeo2x_config" file eg:

"
cmdLine=./z80gngeo --cpu_speed=266
cmdLine=./z80gngeo -r --cpu_speed=266

cmdLine=./z80gngeo --samplerate=22050 --cpu_speed=266
cmdLine=./z80gngeo -r --samplerate=22050 --cpu_speed=266

cmdLine=./gngeo --cpu_speed=266
cmdLine=./gngeo -r --cpu_speed=266

cmdLine=./gngeo --samplerate=22050 --cpu_speed=266
cmdLine=./gngeo -r --samplerate=22050 --cpu_speed=266
"

I have also edited my "conf/gngeorc" file to change the default settings for...

sound = true
showfps = true
samplerate = 11025

Changing these defaults allows using much shorter command lines in the "gngeo2x_config" file (don't need --sound and --showfps on every line)

Both my config files are attached to this post so you can try for yourself, don't forget to copy the Z80 beta version to your gngeo folder and rename it to z80gngeo !


Thanks again for this great emulator, I look forward to the next release! :D

EDIT:

Forgot to ask, is it possible to set a fixed frameskip or is "auto" the only option?
Also, is it possible to disable autoframeskip and sound with command line switches if they are set to enabled in the "conf/gngeoorc" file?

Thanks again! ;)

Auto is the only option. Actualy, I'm not quite familar with framskip 1,2 etc. :)
To disable sound on the command line, just use --no-sound same for autoframeskip: --no-autoframeskip
Actualy every option that don't take an argument can be disable by addind --no-

Disabling autoframeskip disable also the 60fps lock.

Also...

I noticed there was no music in the title screens of Sengoku 3 and discovered that the romrc entry for it is incorrect (doesn't list 4th sound rom).

Here's a correct romrc entry:

#mame set of sengoku3
game sengoku3 MVS "sengoku3"
CPU 0x200000
261-p1.rom 0x100000 0x100000 NORM

END

261-s1.rom 0x0 0x20000 NORM
END

END

261-v1.rom 0x0 0x400000 NORM
261-v2.rom 0x400000 0x400000 NORM
261-v3.rom 0x800000 0x400000 NORM
261-v4.rom 0xc00000 0x200000 NORM
END
GFX 0x2000000
261-c1.rom 0x0 0x800000 ALTERNATE
261-c2.rom 0x1 0x800000 ALTERNATE

261-c4.rom 0x1000001 0x800000 ALTERNATE
END
END


I also created a new entry for Metal Slug 4 Plus (bootleg) you can add to your romrc files:

#mame set of ms4plus
game ms4plus MVS "Metal Slug 4 Plus (bootleg)"
SFIX 0x20000
263-s1p.bin 0x0 0x20000 NORM
END
SM1 0x10000

END

ms4n_v1.rom 0x0 0x800000 NORM
ms4n_v2.rom 0x800000 0x800000 NORM
END
CPU 0x500000
263-p1p.bin 0x0 0x100000 NORM
263-p2.bin 0x100000 0x400000 NORM
END
GFX 0x3000000

ms4n_c5.rom 0x2000000 0x800000 ALTERNATE
ms4n_c6.rom 0x2000001 0x800000 ALTERNATE
END
END


Use Programmers Notepad to edit your romrc file.


I'll try and test more over the weekend :)

Once again, a BIG thanks to everyone involved in creating this emulator! :D

Do you have entries for all games like Pulstar etc? It would be nice if the romrc file could be updated to play all games and be included with the emu.

I've tried every game listed in the default romrc and made a note of the results. Now I'm going back and trying to get the ones that didn't load to work; by either making a romset that matches the romrc or editing the romrc as required.

Pulstar boots on mine using the default romrc and romset from the latest mame (1.04) but it hangs at a warning screen ("game only to be used on SNK boards" etc.) just after the usual NeoGeo logo. I'll see if I can get it running properly tomorrow. :)

When I've got as many games running as I can I'll probably make a new romrc containing just the romsets I know work.

Sound dosnt seem to work for breakers or breakers revenge and sometimes after trying one of them the sound dosnt work on the next rom you try :huh:
 
On Metal Slug 1 if I set :

# system type? arcade or home
system home

(To set the machine to home console mode..)

in conf/gngeorc

I get a garbled frint screen, gardled help text as it displays how to play stuff, and no display at the top for score lives etc when playing..

Do I have a bad dump or is there a problem with the home setting...?

Thanks
