Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
SFA3 fails after the cache creation. A "core" issue, this could be just my dodgy rom file though.

Xmen Vs SF runs at full speed and almost made me weep with joy. :)

Now all we need is key mapping so I can put my Game Gripper to furious use.

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
I tried Marvel vs Capcom and it failed to create the game cache after 9 seconds.

However, Aliens vs Predator worked perfectly (except no sound).

BTW, how many CPS2 games have "vs" in the title? :P

I make some add here.. to not need /home/user/MyDocs/ROMs ..

This errors are because /MyDocs is a old FAT32 bugged filesystem, this not have owners! :eek:

Thanks IvGalvez ...

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
Hey man, thank you for the reply and for the Emu. I will try to play with normal CPU Clock to see the speed. With Mame I need overclock for most of the games, another question and/or request, is there a way for the 2 players (coin 2), am planning to buy a ps3 cont and want to play versus. Will look for your XMame Emu to see if it is better than Mame. The Emu is only for CPS2 games or CPS1 aswell, tried 'dino' and didn't create the cache, some games create the cache but is missing some files and the game can't start. So far I have sfa sfa2 sfa3 nwarriors darktalkers ssf2 ssf2turbo mvsc mshvsf xmvsf and few others all working great. So we have Mame Xmame and CPS2 Emulators, many choices.

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
Hey friend I have sfa3 running on mine, you need a file sfa3.zip 32.8 MB size. google and you will find it .

gleydsonpr 2010-10-27 18:52

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
Anunakin, I tried your xmame on garage, downloaded and opened with app manage and got 'unable to install' something wrong with package, do you know what it can be ? Thanks . BTW as I have Mame installed aswell I put the CPS2 folder inside my roms folder from Mame on massmem, some roms are the same from both, so I tried copying some of them inside the CPS2 folder and no problem, of corse I created the folder CPS2 before installing the Emu .

You need on X-Terminal like root, use "dpkg -i" to install

Just a heads up for anyone having trouble;

.ZIP appears to be unsupported (rename extension to ".zip")
Mixed case file names will fail (will build a cache first)

These may be unix standard or something?

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
Where is the menu? Wich key? Same as LucianoBraga, custom keyboard configuration please. It is what we are needing, save states, thank you.

I just read your post Anunakin, but still nothing to me, how to conf keys? I think I need to edit conf file but how to do that, am new on N900, is with xterm?

In game Use 'L' key (Lima), for access emulator Menu...
You dont need to edit config file, CPS2gui do all hard task...
Configuration/GUI file don't support remap keys, for now key are hardcoded.

CPS2gui not have menus, this have a lot of code to do things happen.. :rolleyes:

I planning do a CONTROLS button like on others emulators GUIs, but we really need it? :confused:

I thinking code a way to:
1- Use keyboard to player 2 and PS3 sixaxis for player 1, when detect it...
2- Use 4 sixaxis for play 4 players games :D
3- Can remap keys, for keyboard and sixaxis ;)

ivgalvez 2010-10-29 11:13

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
For me, just only the ability to remap keys in order to use it with my GameGripper (even through a plain text file) would be enough. Then CPS1 support :D

Your work is very appreciated.

Anunakin 2010-10-29 11:50

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
CPS1 is another emulator

I think more easy add a "GameGripper" layout to emulator for now...

Can any post a best keys for "GameGripper" ?

There is a problem with this approach, keyboard layouts are different between countries and GameGripper uses a pair of problematic keys. I don't know if you can simply code it selecting position (or number) of the key.

In my case (spanish keyboard) the schematic is something like that:

w t u p
a d l ç
x b m .

So I would define it as:
Up: w
Left: a
Right: d
Down: x
Fire 1: l
Fire 2: p
Fire 3: . (Left in US Englis)
Fire 4: ç (Down in US English)
Fire 5: b
Fire 6: m
Coin: u
Start: t

But for Fighting games, for example I may change configuration so I can have Fire 1, 2, 4 and 5 in the right side and 3 and 6 (strong kick/punch) in the middle buttons.

A trick used in several games/emulators is to change keyboard layout to US English at the beginning of the execution and return to normal state when closing.

gleydsonpr 2010-10-29 19:17

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
Really, is there a separate CPS1 Emu? ' Use keyboard to player 2 and PS3 sixaxis for player 1, when detect it... ' Or vice-versa or 2 sixaxis, altough I don't have even 1, but plann to buy 1 then the second, maybe both if I find a good price. Anyway, I also apreciatte your work, thank you. About buttons : on Mame, now I am using SDLMame to see the differences I use q w e a s d for key 1 2 3 4 5 6 , directions I put on keypad, bit diferent, but I got use to, you only would need change z x c for a s d on your emulator. Thank you.

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
i have a question. after i have cached a game, do i still need to keep the ZIP file? because i can see the unzipped file in a subfolder...i want to save some storage space.

gleydsonpr 2010-10-31 21:36

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
I think you still need the rom file in .zip format, don't unzip it. You will click in the zip file to launch the game from the Emulator.

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
ok, thanks. this works so much better than MAME. kudos!

is it possible to run MAME games on this emulator? do I have to switch the bios or something ?

CPS2emu with SixAxis use:
SELECT for coins
START for start player1

xMame 1.06 has x-terminal commands only

- Be sure you using a CPS2 not CPS1 ROM or other common zip file.
- Caching processing take about 40s to 140 seconds not more.
- Update your cps2emu to 0.6-r1

Big Ash 2010-11-01 17:57

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
hi, hanks for reply

i have ver 0.6-r1 installed
definitely cps2 rom according to the website i got it from

i have tried a couple of different roms now and still no luck. any suggestions?

Anunakin 2010-11-01 19:26

Re: CPS2 emulator for N900
 
Try it:
Open X-Terminal
Go to your ROMs folder, like it:
Quote:

cd ~/MyDocs/cps2
And run:
Quote:

cps2romcnv ./ROMNAME.zip
And post shell results!

Anunakin, I will try your xmame emu, do I need to input comands as root? And how are the keys mapping? Or possible to change? is it better than sdlmame for neogeo games? Thank you for the work. If possible a small tutorial for instalation and run a game on (XMame). I already got many roms for SDLMame in roms folder on massmem.

I tried to install xmame, ok. tried to load roms, got ERROR: required files missing The game cannot be run tried with 3 diferent games, will reboot and try again. If somebody have some solution, please. Thanks.
