[Wiz] Gngeo "dat" File

[Claudino]

Hi all,
sorry for my bad english...

I bought a wiz and I configured everything perfectly.
I have just one question. Which file "dat" I use to run the roms on gngeo 0.7?

I tried the file "rage2x.dat" in the folder of the emulator, but RomCenter get this error:
Loading database C:\Users\Public\Documents\romcenter\Datas\rage2x.rdt
rage2x database version = 3,5802
Rom mode : split
Bios mode : split
Sample mode : merged
Plugin : arcade.dll
Import datas from [C:\Users\Public\Documents\romcenter\Datas\rage2x.dat] to [C:\Users\Public\Documents\romcenter\Datas\rage2x.rdt]
Database closed
**Error :Error during datutil conversion on command ["C:\Program Files (x86)\Romcenter\datutil.exe" -f genericxml -v -o "C:\Users\Claudio\AppData\Local\Temp\rc_dat.xml" "C:\Users\Public\Documents\romcenter\Datas\rage2x.dat"]

Thanks.

Nobody have the correct dat file for GnGeo 0.7?
I can't start blaze star and metal slug 1,2,3...

I do the blazstar.gfx but the game not start. He load 4 files and retur to wiz home screen.

Maybe I misunderstand you, but to launch the emulator, you have to start rage2x.gpe

 

[Claudino]

I launch rage2x.gpe.
The emulator work perfectly, but when I try to start blaze star (blazstar.zip) some files are loaded and then brings me back to the Wiz home screen.
The same goes for metal slug...

Why?

"rage2x.dat" doesn't look like a ROM manager dat file with ROM information, it's rather internal information for the emulator (or frontend).

You need basically the correct ROM versions for the games (look for older MAME or WinKawaks/NeoRAGEx sets). It's a lot of try and error for some games.

You also need the BIOS (neogeo.zip) unzipped in the roms directory.

Here my GnGeo 0.7 Test Results for the Wiz and Caanoo version...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Apq0W6rm63sydGdrdXU1aHpkdHVPOHg4T1JVSEFPRHc

Blazing Star and the Metal Slug games work pretty well, just MS3 has some sprite problems (at least for me).

Hope this helps

 

[Claudino]

Thanks for help.
I found correct rom and now i can play Blazing Star.

Now i try Shock Troopers. I found correct rom, but when i start the game i see only text, i can't see the game.
Sound is OK.

Can you help me?

Ok, for this question, I need to explain the arcade ROM topic a bit more in detail.

A game ROM is a collection of ROM files. Here for example Shock Troopers (shocktro.zip) for the Neo Geo system. This is the WinKawaks 1.61 compatible ROM.

These files contain program code, graphics, sound and text layers. Here an extract of the Neo Geo Starter FAQ.

P = 68k Program
S = Text Layer
C = All the other GFX (Sprites)
M = Z80 Program
V = Voice / Samples

GnGeo identifies the ROMs by file name (according to the .rc file). Other arcade emulators identify the ROMs by CRC, see here for further details. The CRC is a checksum of the file content, something like a fingerprint of the file.

However, the correct file name does not mean you have the correct file. Different emulators in different versions require different ROM versions (dumps), for several reasons. Or in other words, if a ROM does not work, look for another version and compare the CRCs. If the CRCs are the same, it will not work either. If the CRCs are different, it's worth to try it out.

Now your problem with Shock Troopers. If the game starts, but the graphics are missing, means you don't have the correct version of the gfx files (238-c1.bin ... 238-c8.bin). Look for another ROM version with the CRCs shown above.

Regarding dumpgfx. Since the Wiz has not enough memory to load the bigger Neo Geo ROMs at once, the graphic ROM files need to be dumped in a separate .gfx file. The emulator loads the required graphics from this file at run-time.

---

Next part is for advanced users and only necessary to save space on the SD card. Or in other words, it's optional.

---

The problem with dumpgfx is the wasted space on the SD card. The ROM .zip file and the .gfx file have the same graphic content, but the graphics in the .zip file are no longer used.

One approach could be to modify the .rc files, remove the GFX part or something like that. I didn't try that.

Another approach is to overwrite the graphic files with binary zeroes. This "clears" the file, but keeps the size. In the .zip file, it will be compressed to an absolut minimum, 4K instead of 2.7M (in this example).

How is this done ?

On Windows 7, it can be done with the Windows fsutil command.

fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=4194304 238-c1.bin

Check the file size and repeat the command for each graphics file.

Then replace the original files with the binary zero versions in the zip, as shown above. And of course, always make a backup of your ROMs before you modify them.

Really thanks,
you were very clear and precise.

I find correct rom and i can play perfectly.

I would like to know if there is a guide with the correct names of the files in the zip and its CRC.
So I just copy the correct file, without seeking for so many sites.

Thanks again for the help you are giving me.

 

[yoshi41dragon]

You're welcome

Ok, than let's dive a bit more into detail.

GnGeo has a corresponding .rc file for each game in directory /game/gngeo/romrc.d. The ROM .zip file in directory /game/gngeo/roms must have the same name.

The .rc file contains information about ROM file names and size. Here for example /game/gngeo/romrc.d/alpham2.rc...

007-c4.bin 0x200001 0x80000 ALTERNATE
END
END

The offset and size information is in bytes, hexadecimal format. Here a short overview of some conversions...

0x20000 -> 131072 -> 128K
0x40000 -> 262144 -> 256K
0x80000 -> 524288 -> 512K
0x100000 -> 1048576 -> 1M

Let's take the graphic files as an example. According to the .rc file, these 4 files are required...

007-c1.bin -> 1M
007-c2.bin -> 1M
007-c3.bin -> 512K
007-c4.bin -> 512K

This information is already a very good indicator whether your ROM might work or not.

The CRC values are unfortunately not available in the .rc file and I don't know where such a list is available.

I should also add, some ROMs or better GFX files are encrypted (for example Sengoku 3). If you have the encrypted ROM, but the emulator requires decrypted files, you can generate them with WinKawaks.

"Enable save decrypted Cs after loading" must be activated. Now the game needs to be started and the decrypted ROM files are saved in WinKawaks directory.

This is worth a try, if you have the files with correct names and size, but the graphics is still garbled or missing.
