Re: Golden Axe Starts in Service Mode

From my experience, with the current core, Rom sets 2 and 6 go straight into service mode, but Rom sets 1,3,4 and 5 don't.

Re: Can't enter Update_All SETUP menu

@jca....Just ran a quick test...yes, if fb_terminal is set to 0, you don't get a terminal to run with the scripts... When the script(s) run in the OSD as in the video (when fb_terminal is set to 0), the scripts can't read input so they just continue running...this is great/ok for scripts that don't need input. @16Bitt...if you are not using a CRT t...

Re: Can't enter Update_All SETUP menu

I must have missed something, somewhere along the line...but since when do the scripts run in the OSD? It's possible that the update_all script can't detect "input" when not run inside a terminal. If you have a keyboard, I suggest you try running the script from the terminal/console (F9, login, then /media/fat/Scripts/update_all.sh)...you...

Re: New Bandai and Nichibutsu Consoles!

The Super Vision 8000 does not sync on a normal TV (at least for me). It looks to me like it adds scanlines (scandoubler?), so the resolution would be doubled. Just a guess. It's an oversight on my end. I utilized the MC6847 written for arcade boards in mind mainly because it was a better fit for working with this core. Therefore it outputs a vga ...

Re: New Bandai and Nichibutsu Consoles!

Just pushed an update out which should help with Othello.
With controller swapped in menu, pushing down changes the menu option....pushing up toggles sound on/off, fire button or "Z" or "-"
on keyboard starts the game.

Well...it's the only game, that I know of so far, that uses the Left Controller (Player 2) to do the menu select and start/stop game. If you choose "Man Vs Computer"....it's Player 2 against the computer. Going to have to add a "Swap Joysticks" option to the menu for just this case. For the time being...if you have a second cont...

Re: New Bandai and Nichibutsu Consoles!

I forgot to give instructions on how to create My Vision rom images.
I used roms from Mame Software Rom set but they come in split files (ex F1, F2, F3...)
They need to be merged/concatenated together, so in the example of Hanafuda
Using Dos/CMD:

Code: Select all

copy /B f1 + /B f2 + /B f3 Hanafuda.bin

Using Linux/Mister:

Code: Select all

cat f1 f2 f3 > Hanafuda.bin

Re: Can't get "Coin" to work in any arcade core, but it is sending a 5

Ah ok, I didn't pay close attention. For some reason I thought you had the arduino handle the whole controller. As far as I know, I don't think you can have a separate "controller" just for the coin/start buttons. I could be wrong but I haven't seen a scenario that allows for it, unless of course, the core was written to look for key pres...

Re: Neo Geo Arcade Core Dip Switch Saving

Ok, from my experience this is what I had to do to get some games to save their soft-dips (or unibios settings). First, after you configure the unibios and/or soft switches...you have to get the core to Save to the Memory Card, which is of course on a game by game basis. I found that I can never get the "Save Memory Card" option to enable...

Re: Can't get "Coin" to work in any arcade core, but it is sending a 5

Just in case...did you configure the core(s) button mapping with the controller itself and not just a keyboard? Even if your controller is acting like a keyboard, it still has to mapped to that keyboard/controller's ID.

So after looking at your output and comparing to a fresh build (fusion 2.7), it looks like "main" is exiting at the point it is trying to read the core's "confstr".

They most likely did it that way so it can fit in a slim case. You can always modify it by swapping out the pin header for a female header or using a female header on the PI and using it as hat but then you'll need to either not use the case or design and 3D print a new case to fit the protruding PI.

Re: TI-994a How-To

I honestly don't know, you can try if you have the equipment, but I myself, don't have the ability to check.
The F18A core doesn't have a different name (it uses the same as the original core) so it can keep the same configuration and GAMES folder as the original non-F18A core.
