that's weird. their support is pretty responsive in my experience so try reaching out maybe? I have an xtension setup and its pretty slick. the sticks they build are very nice quality as well. at some point i need to upgrade my display though, just have a cheap 720p monitor in there at the moment.

I have redone the romset on this arcade machine like 4 times now -Mostly a recent FBNeo set -Like most of the CHD stuff doesn't work there, so mame2003plus for that -Okay well TAPPER is critical and doesn't work so now I'm just splitting it more aaaaaaaaa

granted I don't have a mame cab but I just update my entire romset and mameui every time something that interests me is added (which is rare these days, check https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0235.txt where 0235 is whatever version number) and never have a problem. I feel like people make this out to be more trouble than it is or something

I feel like it's fairly normal to just get a complete romset and then sit on it + its version of MAME for a few years before updating again. I'm still running on 0.211 and not in any rush to update.

I'm currently running the cab on an older (gently overclocked) 2500k with an nVidia 760 for slightly more modern sfuff like street fighter 4 Would that work well for more stuff in the current set? I know stuff like Gauntlet Legends isn't always 100%, but if I could switch away from FBNEO that'd be cool I don't care about accuracy as much as "this game works and is very playable"

Input the romset version and type you have, click a button, and it just fetches the files that have changed since that given romset instead of making you download a whole-rear end complete romset all the time.

Someone on another forum once recommended this to me for updating MAME ROM sets: https://www.romcenter.com/downloadpage/ I have no idea if it's good or not; I was too scared to use it when it warned me 100 times to make sure my ROMs were backed up before continuing. Yeah let me just backup 800GB of ROMs. Anyway updating MAME is such a confusing mess for me that I wrote myself an update guide a while back for myself; maybe it will help someone else here: updating_mame.txt posted:

You should never have to run those auditing things on your MAME ROMs if you just point the latest complete torrent of your specific romset type (merged or non-merged) at your ROMs folder, since it'll just redownload anything that got changed and seed anything that didn't. This will save you a lot of time and heartache.

Because existing romsets and individual ROMs get updated all the time, the names may not change but a bad dump may turn into a good dump etc e: I just delete the old set and download the entire new set, but I don't have some crazy metered internet connection or something. I also update only if something I'm interested in is added/fixed, and I use the Arcade fork of mameUI so I don't worry about all the other non-arcade BS that's added to MAME. All I get are the merged normal romset and certain CHDs (but not the whole set of CHDs) e2: if you're interested in the Arcade frontend, get the preconfigured version without the nag screens from here instead of using the official site: https://insertmorecoins.es/arcade-0-235-32-64-bits-no-nag/ d0s fucked around with this message at 23:21 on Sep 23, 2021 |

I ended up picking up 2 Primal Rage boards recently, mostly because I haven't heard of any recent Emulation progress or MisterFPGA core work being done. The boards themselves work fine and the serial numbers are intact. Just one board was different, where Primal Rage 2.3 was build dated Dec 6/7 1994, one was build dated Jan 4th 1995. I ended up dumping the data from the roms and MAME has no listing of it. Neat. As far as I could tell the Japanese version of Primal Rage wasn't just setting the Language in the service menu to Japanese. The second thing I did was backup my eeprom data from both these boards to keep the serial numbers and current play history. This also allowed me figure out how serials are stored and create clean play history eeproms if I ever want to use a "factory fresh" setup.

The only thing I can tell are moves are closer to how you would input in Street Fighter. I haven't done any uploading, I'll need to find a MAMEDev to get in contact with to see if I can get this added.

What would cause an arcade crt to look like crap until its been on for a while? I have a Megatouch XL upright and for years it was fine. I recently had it recapped (maybe two years ago) because the screen was all wavy. The recap fixed it. Fast forward to like six months ago and now the picture is both blurry and dark for a good hour before it looks good. The funny thing is I can make it look good right on startup using the focus and black level knobs on the back but then after an hour it looks like poo poo. If I don't touch the knobs at all, it's dark and blurry and then gets nice bright and sharp an hour later. I'm not having any other problems with the monitor. What could cause this and is there any fix?

Potentially not all the caps were done, as needing to warm up could be a symptom. Check to see if the fly back is cracked too. Also, could just need something reflowed as well. Best to post on KLOV for monitor help.

Best to post on KLOV for monitor help. I posted there a week ago and no one replied lol. I actually have a CRT repair guy in my area believe it or not and he tested every one of the capacitors and said all of them were fine. Where would a crack be on a flyback? On the black plastic cylinder thing? If it were something related to a bad solder joint, I would think it would always look like crap instead of needing to warm up to look good, no?

d0s posted:Try here: https://www.arcade-projects.com/forums/monitor-help.6/ Thank you! I just found out a feint vertical line that always scrolls slowly from bottom to top on my arcade monitor can be fixed by simply removing the ground wire from the CRT's metal frame! Weird! Stupid question about MAME: what's the point of there being update sets (for example, found here: https://pleasuredome.github.io/pleasuredome/mame/ ) going from one MAME version to another, when all you have to do is point the complete set to your ROM folder and it updates them that way? Are there more games in the update set or something ?' edit: I compared the "complete" 236 set to the "update from 235 to 236" set and in the latter, I noticed a ROM, "carnivalca.zip" that is NOT in the "complete" 236 set. Why would that be? Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Oct 6, 2021 |

I haven't followed MAME in a long time, but it use to be that they would remove games sometimes when more info was discovered, like a dump was bad, or a duplicate, or some other problem. That could explain numbers going down.

carnivalca (aka "Carnival (cocktail, earlier)") is still present in MAME, but is marked as "not working". The complete set you're looking at may be merged instead of split, in which case it'd have been absorbed into one of the other Carnival clones.

Another MAME question if I may. I noticed on my 4ghz core i7 (an old one, but still), Marvel vs Capcom 2 runs at like, no exaggeration, 8 fps. I am looking at task manager while it's running and MAME is only using up 12% of the CPU while running this game. Shouldn't the CPU be running at near 100% since it's struggling so much?

I didn't realize MvC2 is Naomi (dreamcast) so i mean it's not nothing. I wonder if older MAME versions don't try as hard? Looks like there are some other Naomi emulators too: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Sega_NAOMI_and_variants#Emulators

For systems that use semi-modern 3D, you're better off using a more specialized emulator if one is available. I think Flycast is currently considered The Hotness for NAOMI and Atomiswave stuff, Demul supports some other things like NAOMI 2 and Hikaru, but it's a bit rough.

yeah I remember hearing that stock MAME doesn't use hardware acceleration (or something) so things like Naomi are not going to run well

Flycast was built because the source code for nullDC was lost and reicast wasn't doing it for people. Unlike DEmul, Flycast is open source so it's been getting new features and compatibility added to it like crazy. As of last month, it gained GGPO rollback netplay compatibility, which has been integrated into Flycast Dojo (the fork for Fightcade, which will get updated with it soon) and the all-in-one launcher BEAR. I run the CvS2 Discord and us going from Dolphin netplay to Arcade GGPO in two years has been quite the ride.

Over 5,000 members, and there are two regional (offline) tournaments coming up in the next few weeks with $1,000 and $1,500 pot bonuses. Plus it's the 20th anniversary of the game, so with that and rollback emerging it's been a good year, all things considered.

So, 10 minute drive away from me is this place, went a week ago and it's just mind blowing good fun there. You pay an entry fee then have all day / night to free play the machines. They tend to go for real iconic machines in superb condition, would recommend if you are in the area Here is a dump of pics I took https://imgur.com/a/YJoRVM4 This is the place: https://www.arcadeclub.co.uk/bury/
