Gngeo2x 0.6.9 *update*

[machina2o2]

I have some sound clipping issues with some games like Metal Slug X. At certain times it starts clipping causing static. Is that a bug or is it a FW2.0 problem?

Its normal in the 6.11 ver if you go back to 6.09 the problme is gone.

Me too...

You need a dir called preview with BMps in it, one for each game.

Size 152x112

Try searching the net for the missing screen shots.

I am sure,i think... I got my pack from a link on the site so try checking the file archive....

 

[PSyMastR]

nope, not in the archive

 

[Eso Rimmer]

Yeah this emu is one the best but also one of the hardest to get going. I STILL can't get Pulstar to work :angry: after hours of playing around, sniffing out different ROMs, BIOs, etc.

It seems you have all of these combinations of ROM set types and versions, region settings, bios types, console/arcade settings and it seems many games just won't work until you find the EXACT combination of all of these things. I wish the Wiki was a bit more helpful in this area. It tells you what works and what doesn't but it doesn't say HOW to get each game to work.

Hey DaveC, what happens when you try to load Pulstar? Do the graphics not dump for you? I can get mine to dump correctly, but when I try to run it in Arcade or Home version with any region it gives me the "This rom cartridge is for use with original snk boards only. Copying of snk boards is prohibited and may result in severe civil and criminal penalties and will be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law." Same goes for the uncensored romset of Samurai Showdown 5 Special. I'm guessing this is some extra copy protection they had built into the romson the board. Well you could try Pulstar in MAME but that kinda defeats the purpose of this thread. Also it didn't matter either way if I dumped it with the dumpgfx through windows or through the emulator. Same results.

I had the same problem, if you use the unibios it works fine. Just dump the unibios in the roms folder and select it in rage2x instead of arcade or home.

Yes I get that bloody "This rom cartridge is for use with original snk boards only..." message every time. I get it when using Unibios too.

Then with alot of the fighting games I get sound and the text but the graphics are not shown.

 

[nem]

It definitely works with uni-bios. Do you get the uni-bios loading screen (after the screen corruption, before the SNK animation and jingle) when you load up a rom with uni-bios enabled?

Hmmm...that's wierd. I tried the uni-bios and it works for me. So does Samurai Showdown 5 Special now. What version of the uni-bios are you using? Mine is v2.1. I would try getting the latest set of roms based off of MAME. Those are usually the most compatible and shouldn't give you problems. What fighting games are you talking about btw?

Yeah like nem said if you get the uni-bios loading screen you can hit A+X+B I believe to get the options menu. There you can change your settings to any region or Arcade or Console mode, however every option variation I tried worked fine for Pulstar. I still think you might need another rom set.

 

[Yod4z]

unibios is 2.2 the ultimate version work great

I have tried so many rom sets now that I just don't know what the "magic" one is. I have tried sets that were "recommended" to me as completely working but no luck.

The unibios is the one that comes up and pesters you to set the region, arcad/console etc. No matter what I set I get that infernal message.

 

[geise69]

That's wierd man. I wish i knew what it was. I have the same problem with Metal Slug 3 and 5. No matter what sets I try, they just won't work at all. Actually I did get Mslug3 sorta working. GFX weren't corrupt but I was getting major issues with the screen drawing things really bad when you moved forward. It was like graphics would just pop up on the right side of the screen. Mslug5 is a lost cause. I've tried everything and to no avail. If someone has mslug5 working please let me know the file size.
