Neo Geo Aes. Working Set


We're gonna spend all of this time fixing this romset, and then someone is going to release FBA for Caanoo that just uses a normal romset. :(
 
Well that might just happen 'C'est la vie!' But we're not far off now, almost all of the main sets seem to work. And at least we'll know what we achieved ;)

StalkS
 
burining fight set 2 works for me.
super sidekicks 2-4 all have grafx issues with the soccer field.
zintrick has missing music
fatal fury 3 has grafx problems
voltage fighter gowcaiser crashes after running for a couple seconds

someone's working on a final burn alpha emulator?
 
Super Sidekicks 2/3/4 uses raster grafx, this is not working properly. Zintrick is a kind of test game and has a status of "NOT TESTED". Voltage Fighter has a status of "ALMOST WORK", it crashes how you said.

Fatal Fury 3 works for me. But I'm wondering about Burning Fight. Are you able to pass the character selection screen ?

PS: FBA would be great (Slaanesh might be a candidate). I think Neo Geo emulation is generally very good on GnGeo and you can pause a game (I really miss this feature in FBA).
 
finished testing- updated My spreadsheet
I couldn't update StalkS' sheet. Guess we should merge our info.
I highlighted in yellow anything that I tried to get working and failed at.
Many games that aren't working also don't work on the Wiz compatability list
We're probably out of luck on most of these, but I do want to point out that I got Ganryu working, which does not work on the Wiz. So maybe the Caanoo can handle some games better. There is hope.
Just remember that just because I didn't get it working doesn't mean we can't get it working! So don't skip trying to get those to work.

Please let us know if any of you have anything working that is not listed as working on my list.


Just got these working:
fightfva
shocktra
wh2j
ms4plus
 
sorry burning fight doesn't work for me i confused it with another game.
kof10th works
kof2k2mp works

I see it as more of a contribution thing. People can post successes or failures directly in this thread and a few of us can maintain the spreadsheet.

I should be able to grant access to the spreadsheet to anyone with a GMail account (this Google Docs thing is new to me). After all the working sets are identified, people can then post if they have had any success with the non working sets and how they went about fixing them which will help the rest of us working on our own.

I have just quickly knocked together a WIP Google Spreadsheet What do you think? I'll update it over the next day or two.

Is this spreadsheet up to date?
I'm asking, 'cause I have managed to run metal slug 2,3,4,5 and X versions. I built an unix script to help me fix these roms I had found. It just renames the files wihin the rom archive. I didn't have to do much more.

It's a work in progress - we also having a few issues with metal slug 3 (glitches with the energy bar) . If you could post and explain how to use your script you would make a lot of people happy here ;)

We actually do have all the Metal Slug games working except for ms5plus
check out this spreadsheet

We could really use some help getting samurai showdown 5 special and svc plus working

Ok, but I have to warn you, it aint pretty, I spent about 15 minutes writing it, and I didn't mean to go public with it, I just wanted to organize my own rom collection.


the script I use looks like this:
Code: 
#!/bin/bash
rc=${1}
rom=${2}
dr=${PWD}
processed="processed"
#make output dirs
mkdir -p "out"
mkdir -p "out/orig"
mkdir -p "${processed}"

#temporary dir and files
temprom="temprom_${2}"
mkdir ${temprom}
cd ${temprom}
unzip ../${rom}

#you can experiment with the regular expression passed to grep
#if you want the script to be more "universal", so it could handle other extensions
c1=`grep '\.rom' <../${rc} |awk '{print $1 }'|wc -l `

c2=$(ls *|wc -l)
if [ ${c1} != ${c2} ] ; then
    echo "in rc file: ${c1}  rom: ${c2}, rom has to be configured manually, sorry"
    exit 1
fi


#you can experiment with the regular expression passed to grep
#if you want the script to be more "universal", so it could handle other extensions
lista=`grep '\.rom' <../${rc} |awk '{print $1 }' `

#main loop
for x in ${lista} ; do
    l=$(echo ${x} |sed 's/^.*[-_]//'|sed 's/\..*$//')
   echo ${l}
    rename "s/.*[-_]${l}\..*/${x}/" *${l}.*
done
#exit 0

u=$(echo ${1}|sed 's/\.rc//')

#recompress
zip -9 -r ../out/${u}.zip *
cd ..
#clean up
rm -rf ${temprom}
mv ${rom} "out/orig/${rom}"
mv ${rc} ${processed}



now to use it(don't feel offended if I say something obvious):
first of all, always make backup copies of the files you'd like to process!

let's say, you'd save it as "script.sh"
you have to gather rom file and rc file in the same directory (preferable), and then invoke

Code: 
./script.sh rc_file rom_file

the rc_file has to be prepared a little:
first, leave _only_one_ rom description in the rc file (my script is really simple, you can merge the rc files later, if you want multiple definitions),
files in rc file should have '.rom' extension (some of the descriptions I've found have .bin extension, so you'd have to edit these, or change the script).

and the last, but not least, the number of files in the rc file should be the same as in the zip archive, otherwise, the script would return with an error, complaining about the problem.



if you want examples, here you go, let's assume you have a mslug.zip rom file, with contents:

Code: 
Archive:  /home/c/caanoo/karty/sd_copy3/APPS/gngeo/roms/mslug.zip

now let's say, you have a rc file, which looks like that:

now what you should do is find rom description, that has as many files as your zip file has, in this case, all three descriptions "fit", so you should create 3 files (I didn't do it this way, but I'm trying to write the fool proof manual for this process:) ):

first file (change .bin to .rom):

Code: 
longname Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001
#mame set of mslug
game mslug MVS "Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001"
CPU 0x200000
201-p1.rom 0x100000 0x100000 NORM

END

201-s1.rom 0x0 0x20000 NORM
END

END
SOUND1 0x800000
201-v1.rom 0x0 0x400000 NORM
201-v2.rom 0x400000 0x400000 NORM
END
GFX 0x1000000

201-c2.rom 0x1 0x400000 ALTERNATE
201-c3.rom 0x800000 0x400000 ALTERNATE
201-c4.rom 0x800001 0x400000 ALTERNATE
END
END

second file

Code: 
#mame set of  mslug
game  mslug  MVS "Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001"
CPU 0x200000
201-p1.rom 0x100000 0x100000 NORM

END
SFIX 0x20000

END

201-m1.rom 0x0 0x20000 NORM
END
SOUND1 0x800000
201-v1.rom 0x0 0x400000 NORM
201-v2.rom 0x400000 0x400000 NORM
END
GFX 0x1000000
201-c1.rom 0x400000 0x200000 ALTERNATE

201-c4.rom 0xc00001 0x200000 ALTERNATE
- 0x800001 0x200000 ALTERNATE
END
END

and the last file:

Code: 
#old mame set of mslug
game mslug MVS "Metal Slug - Super Vehicle-001"
CPU 0x200000
mslug_p1.rom 0x100000 0x100000 NORM
- 0x0 0x100000 NORM
END
SFIX 0x20000
mslug_s1.rom 0x0 0x20000 NORM
END
SM1 0x20000
mslug_m1.rom 0x0 0x20000 NORM
END
SOUND1 0x800000
mslug_v1.rom 0x0 0x400000 NORM
mslug_v2.rom 0x400000 0x400000 NORM
END
GFX 0x1000000
mslug_c1.rom 0x400000 0x200000 ALTERNATE
- 0x0 0x200000 ALTERNATE
mslug_c2.rom 0x400001 0x200000 ALTERNATE
- 0x1 0x200000 ALTERNATE
mslug_c3.rom 0xc00000 0x200000 ALTERNATE
- 0x800000 0x200000 ALTERNATE
mslug_c4.rom 0xc00001 0x200000 ALTERNATE
- 0x800001 0x200000 ALTERNATE
END
END

and try the script above with all three files, and test, if the output file will come right.
of course, you have to put modified rc file to the gngeo romrc.d directory, every time you test the rom.

Of course you can 'guess' the right rom description quite easly, if you look at the '.rom' file sizes, you can find out which one fits the description.

other example, just quick:

If yes, could you please post the CRCs of the ROM files in the zip ?

I wouldn't say corrupted, I would say missing. I got a version, where the energy bar is missing, I haven't noticed this so far:)

I've got 3 versions of mslug3 so I'll try to check them out.

I've found a file, that says mslug3-5a, contents of it (with md5sum):

d69ab0915af4ed068bcacaa3e2fdf6ba  256d-s1.rom
or what zip says:
Code:

when I added the rom files to my mslug3 rom file, the rom file runs quite ok, but it shows that it is metal slug 6, so it seems like a bootleg. the energy bar seems ok with this version:)

this is the contents of my mslug3test file :)
I thought that Metal SlugX is a bootleg of the third part, I took *_s1.rom file from that package (MSX), and I placed it into metal slug 3, and it seems to work:)

Metal Slug X is an official game. I believe it's an updated/enhanced version of 2.

well, despite the fact, you are right, it worked:) I got metal slug 3 without corrupted energy bar:)

Hmmm, I just tested your setup, but I still don't see the energy bar, time counter etc. The MS3 logo in demo mode is also missing (which is no surprise). Do you see the energy bar and time counter ?

Metal Slug X and Metal Slug 3 are official games of the series. I have both as Neo Geo AES cartridge. However, it's definititely a problem with the *.s1 file.

EDIT: All my files have the same CRCs as yours.

EDIT2: Ooops, I have MS2/3/4/5 as AES cart, MSX is missing.
 
to clarify- we can see the energy info, but not the sprites around it
