ive been trying for a couple days to get mslug 4 or 5 working on my 2x but everything i try doesnt seem to work. Neostuey has been very patient with me and helped me with mslug3 but i dont think he tried to get 4 or 5 running. has anyone here except antidark gotten them running on this emu?

 

[pepone]

Off Topic!

My GP2X is up and running again!

The PNY card finally got recognised by the UBoot, I must have gone through this process about 25 times since I purchased the card yesterday.

My GP2X must just be temperamental.

​

I'm very happy to hear that

​

That's no longer true I had them both up and running today. had to check my GP2X wasn't suffering any ill effect.

Care to PM me with what you have done so far in trying to get them running.

 

[NeoStuey]

​

Thats great news NeoStuey! Glad to hear your back with us

​

I found your post on GP32Spain providing a new romrc for win_dumpgfx and the rom drivers to edit my romrc in gngeo. Like you said easy.

Thanks Antidark

PLAY-ASIA COUPON DUE TODAY:

HK-CVP-MPQ

first come first serve, please post once used and claimed please.

cheers!

 

[subin]

btw, if anyone tried to download my config file, don't bother enabling the "arcade" switch. in fact, download a decent one from here. basically the arcade switch isn't needed.. that can be changed with unibios. other than that it's exactly the same, i just deleted the arcade switches.

 

[NeoStuey]

Also I cant get Pulstar to work, it give me a copy protection error when the emu starts, anybody got this working ?

DG.

​

pepone: has there been any progress in getting pulstar to work? Or has anybody else been able to get it working?

​

Pulstar never had work, even on the original gngeo
It must a stupid bug, but I just can't get it...

​

Yes this is on GnGeo2X

​

*orgasm*

And it plays well with music?

​

Yes Pulstar work perfect with this game :

WORK PERFECTLY IN GNGEO, IN MODE CONSOLE.

​

Once you have a pulstar.nv file in your save folder, you can switch back and play it in MVS mode too. You get the title music with this option.

​

That's a very good news!

​

Did you have to change the romrc file? because the filenames seem to be different.  my roms have the same crc but are named 089-p1.bin etc but it runs out of memory for graphics even with the graphics dumped 

​

Changed the filenames in the pulstar.zip to match the romrc. Then dumped the graphics. I used the universal bios 1.3 but it also works with universal bios 1.2.

When I first tried to load it under MVS, I got the official SNK warning. So I loaded it under AES, and it started, once I had a pulstar.nv file in the save folder, I found that I could load it as an MVS game.

The title music doesn't work under AES but does under MVS. I seem to remember that this was commented on, at the uni-bios homepage as a limitation of the AES system or something like that.

I should check really.

​

I'm sorry that this reply is a bit jumbled but it's late I'm going to sleep, all the info should be in there, all uni-bios versions are now supported in 0.6.9.

45fps with sound @ 266mhz

here's a gngeo2x_config kinda made for fw 1.4.0 with overclock options (thanks to subin for initial config file):

http://www.bigupload.com/d=E1E36668

I tried to update my romrc file with new drivers for mslug3, kof2003, s1945p, and kof10thu.... all with no luck and wont dump my roms, can't load errors i must not have the right roms or possibly im doing something wrong with romrc, i DL the one from antidark.... kinda sad.... anyone who can help, please PM me.

Glad to hear your GP2X is up and running, NeoStuey!

TIA!

​

Did the roms you used were decrypted?
if yes, then it's certainly the romrc that should be tuned slightly (the GFX part I think).

heisty (or subin), would you be able to post your file 'cpu.sh'? I'd like to give this a try.

Cheers.


EDIT: Don't worry, I found the files

To physically use CPU & LCD Tuner you just add an extra line in the gngeo2x.gpe.

Example.

#!/bin/sh

/mnt/sd/cpu_speed.gpe 0 2 266
./selector ./gngeo2x_config
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

The new line being /mnt/sd/cpu_speed.gpe 0 2 266

The first number entered is to choose modes either 0 for FPLL LCD mode or you can use 1 UPLL LCD mode.

The second is the prescaler timings set between -20 and 36 for FPLL mode and -5 and 10 for UPLL mode.

Then lastly is the cpu speed you want to run at.

This example script assumes that you have CPU & LCD Tuner in the root of your SD card and that you have not change the file extension to .gpu.

If you have use this example.

#!/bin/sh

/mnt/sd/cpu_speed.gpu 0 2 266
./selector ./gngeo2x_config
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

If you have done what I have done and remove the extenstion from the CPU & LCD Tuner so that it is hidden your script would look like this.

#!/bin/sh

/mnt/sd/cpu_speed 0 2 266
./selector ./gngeo2x_config
sync

cd /usr/gp2x/
exec /usr/gp2x/gp2xmenu

thanks neostuey, that will be very useful indeed.

​

i did noit use the decrypted ones. but i have them, what should i do i tried replacing the roms with a decrypted one and no i just get a black screen and the thing in the back that says your score and bombs etc...
do i need to do a gfx dump with the decrypted gfx roms?

 

[god_at_hell]

yes you do. and after that, you can replace the cs with zero-byte dummys

 

[Ando]

i got it i just beat it also, damn i love these games does anyone get sound in mslug 4 or 5 all i get is the sound it makes when i insert coin
