MAME4ALL v1.0

[Recorderdude]

Just wondering why no flash cart focused on straight emulation and not ds games..It can be accomplished just needs to be worked with..

Well, the Iplayer never ran any DS games, and it was the first thing to allow a DS to emulate GBA, but it was really just a prototype for the DSTWO. Call it supercard's "forgotten child".

 

[alekmaul]

alek, are you saying that you added support for roms outside the mame4all goodset? or were these roms in the 0.37b5 set which didn't have support for the v1.0 software?
Another World, i can't see your attached file, i have no permission regarding the forum to do that.
And about neogeo, they are roms in mame 0.37b5 (neobomberman, and so on ...)

Hum, it's already in Mame4All. Just need to fix why we can't have it in list of Capcom plugin.

*EDIT* : i saw why, just check the size of thje rom here : http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/romset/msh
Too much for DSTWo, sorry !

Not to say that MvC WOULD run, but you linked to Marvel Super Heroes.

Marvel Superheroes is 18 MB

Marvel Vs Capcom is...20.6 MB

So, yay, it's even more impossible

I don't think it's only 20MB if you sum all files ...
524288*8+4194304*8+131072*2+2097152*2 = 79953920 ...

 

[Tonitonichopchop]

Is it possible the maximum rom size could increase in future updates, or is it stuck the way it is? I just need to know if my dream of Marvel Vs. Capcom is even remotely possible

 

[alekmaul]

no, can't increase rom size, it's the ram shipped with the dstwo !
The only solution is to port another emu supporting this game like FBA perhaps ...

 

[Another World]

a know a few people who would love a port of FBA to the SCDS2 =).

-another world

I'd be all over that like flies on poop!

 

[Recorderdude]

Okay, I know I'm jumping into something I have no knowledge about whatsoever, but if MAME4ALL can't load a 20 MB rom (MVC) with all of the extra hardware on the DSTWO, how does NEO-DS load roms almost 80 megabytes big on a plain DS? (like metal slug 5)?

Like I said, no idea what I'm getting into, but just a question here.

Also, one final thing.

Can you add support for SLOT2 ram packs to MAME4ALL? Some of us have EZFLASHES or (in my case) old SLOT2 cards like the M3 perfect and I'd think the Extra RAM might help a few games, but I don't know. I know that you can't use the DS and DSTWO's processors at the same time, but could you use the external RAM?

Thanks.

 

[alekmaul]

personuser : about neods, it's because it doesn't load all the rom during init like mame does.
if you look at it, you will see that some roms are patched to be ok to work with neods.

About slot2 additionnal ram pack, well i don't know. With dstwo sdk, we do not have access to DS hardware, only dstwo hardware. So i don't know how to do that.

 

[mad008]

Just a little WIP:
- Added neogeo games from mame but they are a little slow and some games don't want to run (like metal slug, not enough memory).

If you want some games added, please tell me (of course, the games should not be too big for DS (speed and size), don't talk me about harddriving for example or others neogeo games).

First of al tanks fore this greed release of MAME.

Is it possible to add “the Simpsons bowling” ?

It would by very nice.

I'm sorry, but you REALLY can't expect any 3D games to run in this emulator besides vector games like battlezone, possibly I, Robot and race drivin.

 

[alekmaul]

Yes, as I said, just take a look at arcade game spec before requesting such game.
personuser -> I'robot is in Mame4All v1.0 you know ;-)
I don't think we can emulate Hard Drivin with actual sdk, it will be too slow.

 

[Recorderdude]

personuser -> I'robot is in Mame4All v1.0 you know ;-)

W00T! I Robot kicks insane amounts of ass for '83.

This is now the most technologically advanced title emulated on a DS!
(I wouldn't count quake/quake2DS since ithey're more of a port)

Anyway, ya hard drivin is understandable.

The main thing to be fixed right now is sound, then you can add more games and fix menu freezing that might be caused by new games added.

When you DO add more, can I request Bucky O'Hare? (Konami, not on the list)

game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8OnEXXlPHo

Thanks for all you've done and continue to do Alek, keep on codin man, you're kicking ass on DSTWO.

 

[alekmaul]

personuser , please tell me which games freeze the menu, it can be easy to fix.
about Bucky O'Hare, i will check it to know if i can add it to the list.

Well, I haven't played the emu much yet, but I know I-Robot crashes midway through the first space flying/shooting level.

Sometimes the coin button on the touch screen randomly doesn't work.

I'll test more later, I have school right now

Also, could somebody move this topic back onto the first page of homebrew news?

It's pretty much the only public development topic for the first Third-Party DSTWO emulator (SC forums is private, devs only) and is one of the few homebrew news topics being (somewhat) actively discussed. If it was at LEAST on the first page there might be more activity

 

[amiga]

I was reading the Ismart player post and it seems there is no big differences between iplayer, ismart and scsd2 players. Maybe one difference is the memory it seems iplayer and ismart only have 16mb and the other difference is the folders names. I tried scsd software on my iplayer and I think one of the reasons doesnt work is it has different folders.

Alekmaul, could you make a mame4all version changing the folders to the ones on the iplayer to see if it works.

The folders in the iplayer come as: _system\plugins in the root of the sd card. So the instead of _dstwo is _system and the _dstwoplug is plugins and is included in the _system folder.

Thanks in advance.

alek, i cant for the life of me get Star Castle to run. it makes it to the info screen, but i just get a black screen when i 'press any button to continue'
it'd make my day if you could get it working. The game is supposed to launch from the MAME4ALLVECSEGA ver.

thanks for porting this awesome emulator(s) to ds2 =)

 

[Indy13]

Hi friends, sorry for the necro but I'm trying to find good settings for some games on mame4all dstwo, is there a way to desactivate the sound in the setting menu (before to launch a game) or can i do this in the mame4all menu ( when pressing select + B in game) ?, other thing, is there a way to change frameskip ?

 

[Elliander]

Hi, does anyone know where to find this now? Links are dead.
