I didn't test kof2000, but maybe you need to redump it with the new dumpgfx? Or you allready did it, then it's a bug :lol:
It is fullscreen, save for a hundred or so pixels. Very inconsequential.
Rage2x is a really good frontend, lol. Just use it for christ's sake
And I seem to have worked out my problems, but I'm not sure why it happened in the first place...
Maybe you forgot to add the skin/font.bmp file? it's mandatory now.
As for the zoom optimization, it's for the zoomed out sprites used by the neogeo. Even if it's still slower that normal rendering, it gain a nice boost (nearly 10fps) in game like samourai shadow when the screen is completly zoomed out.
Well, I didn't test the non-prototype version of garou. And for now I'm not sure fi it will work.
For the romrc, the format is simple: One section for each roms part (cpu, char, gfx, z80, sound_data).
Maybe you can try the followinf utility http://m.peponas.free.fr/gngeo/download/dat2gn.c
it convet a kawaks dat file to a romrc file.

Here is my feedback so far on the emulator.
- Much better speed with sound. (Usually take 68K <--- 20% for newer fighters)
- BUG! You cannot control the volume when using the .cf settings for the games. (Sam Sho 5 Sp won't play sound at all when using the .cf file.)
Tests: (sound is at 11025 for all games, no raster)
SVC Chaos: OCL 250Mhz, 68K -20% very good, steady 40-60fps. Only Minor hiccups when starting match.
Samurai Showdown 5 Special: OCL 266Mhz, 68K -15%, variable fps 30-60. Slightly stuttery in the first match then is very smooth.
KOF 2003: OCL 266Mhz, 68k -20%, Z80 -5%, 30-55 fps. Slight random chop. Very playable.
Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: OCL 266Mhz, 68K -15%, Z80 -15%. Chops up a bit for the first few seconds then is a rock solid 55fps. Awesome.
Samurai Showdown II: Default 266. OMFG Perfect. 60fps.
Last Blade: Default 266Mhz. 60fps Solid! Woot!
Metal Slug: Default Settings 266Mhz. Holy Crap. 60fps solid with sound! FNA!
Metal Slug 5: OCL 266Mhz, 68K -20%. Very minor slowdown here and there. 50-60fps. Actual game seems to run a slight bit slower. Very Minor.
AWESOME work guys.
The GP2X is the ONLY handheld that can emulate all AES/MVS Neo Geo games!

Yeah, I get that glitch too.

Hi Pepone!
I've just loaded the new version, and even if I've run just a couple of games, I think the lcd timing issue is gone...RULEZ!
Thanks again, now colors are solid-rock and if I modify the lcd settings from the firmware menu, it is still on when play roms.
Now I have no excuses to donate!

Well, I don't know what it was, since I didn't touch anything on this part. It's maybe the new selector, or the fact that I use the lastest Paeryn SDL.
Anyway, I'm really happy that it work

Hahahahah!!! I was guessing something like that!
Anyway it works and that's the matter to me, hope others will use that sdl too (now it's vobbo turn..
)Thanks
(so did you notice "clear screen" as an improvement of lcd freq, or is something else?)

No, it's just an optimisation in asm to clear a buffer.

I actually already found that same piece of code somewhere else but immediately noticed:
Code:
* This piece of code is weird, but it seems to work.
* Crypted ROMs are not supported ATM.Since Garou is encrypted - that's a problem
Granted I could use Kawaks to generate non-encrypted C's but that kinda defeats the purpose of the exercise which is to get the standard mame dump of Garou.zip working. I've written an email to the author of that code asking if he has since added support for encrypted roms. Hopefully he has and this will get things started in making Gngeo compatable with roms for kawaks.

In the mean time, I came up with this (a guess based on how roms similar to garou look in the romrc file)
I'm at work so I can't test it in gngeo, but that entry does work with dumpgfx. Somebody care to try it for real?

I dunno. Using an older version I can play Metal Slug X & 5 just fine. Using the latest version I can see the game's stats (power meter..etc), hear the sounds, but cannot see the ingame graphics. I tried everything I could think of to no avail, including creating a new dumpgfx file with the latest version. Ahh well...no biggie. I'm fine with the version I am using right now.

I've tested mslugX, and it work correctly. Are you sure the gfx file is correct? it looks like that gngeo can't find it.

Yep. I let Gngeo create the gfx file itself, and it created it in the same directory as mslugx (roms). I just don;t get it. Perhaps something with the BIOS files? I did notice that I no longer had the correct unibios named after the upgrade. It was named "uni-bios.22" or something of that nature, and I had to rename it to "uni-bios.rom" for the emulator to recognize it.

Humm very strange. The fact that uni-bios was rename to "uni-bios.22" is very odd. Looks like a corrupted fs.

No, actually I was using the bios romset from the latest Mame (v0.106) and that IS what it is named there for some reason. It did work in the previous version however...from what I remember.
It seems that Gngeo relies on filenames rather that CRC checksums for the BIOS roms. IMHO it should be the other way around.

Well, I couldn't find a copy of KOF2000 that dumpgfx would approve (and I looked for a while), so I had to piece it together from a few different archives, so it could very well be that I just got a bad file somewhere. I did use the new dumpgfx, though.
Could someone else try out KOF2000 and see if they get the same result?
Oh, and I love the hotkeys, by the way!
