Has anyone tried Run and Gun on this ?

Great stuff. I'll be keeping my Neo stuff seperate with Kawaks so I'm not bothered about those. Should be intresting with the new MAME core how some of the polygon games run. Shit I need a major update on my romsets.

I haven't had a 5-minute issue with any game so far. Vasara took a little while to load (maybe a minute?), but god damn, that game sure was worth it. Hadn't played it before.
Haven't messed with it much yet. Outfoxies is unfortunately not very playable. Choppy as hell and, well, MAME has never had sound emulation for it to begin with.
Tip: Sexy Parodius and Salamander 2 run on the same hardware as Daisu-Kiss, which is in the VM.txt file (but the former two aren't, for some reason). Just copy+paste the daiskiss line and add SP and S2 if you want to play 'em. They all run perfectly fine from what I could see. Maybe with a little frameskip, but what doesn't on the Xbox?
(In emulators! That was not a diss on Xbox, calm down!)

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Can anyone show me how to get KI/KI2 to run on MAME32(PC)?
I can't figure it out.
I can't figure it out.
I've been messing with it all day, figuring out configurations for games I like. Still haven't had to wait for five minutes. Granted, I skipped on Gunbird 2 since I have the PS2 compilation for that. Vasara is still the longest one for me, at about one minute. That ain't bad at all. I'll just go smoke half a cig or something while I wait.Vagabond said:
I'm kinda disappointed, in the end, though. Most games run with some kind of chop or major frameskip. And since I'm a shooter kind of guy, that completely ruins them for me. Why is Kawa-X' VMM code better at this? Or can it be the MAME core, since so many different people make it, they might be differently optimized? Cause, well, ESP Ra.De. and Guwange run even better than in FBAX (imo, after 1 round with each) here, but something from 1994 can frameskip out the wazoo without being any more technically impressive.
Yeah, but different games run different configurations in that menu. Finding out which, and then adding them to VM.txt is a lot less of a hassle.eso76 said:
Of course, if you wait a few weeks, some crazies out there will have made a VM.txt optimized for every MAME game out there.

Just got done playing Esp. Ra. De.
What a rush!
What a rush!
This is the first iteration of frameskip done by ONE person, and this is his first time really doing virtual Memory. It'll be tweaked in later versions for sure.
Look at Xport's history:
While VERY impressive, only the latest entry uses VMM. Even PCSXbox does not need it because it implements HLE. It'll get better.

Both FBA-X and Kawa-X are more specialized emulators and run fewer systems (Capcom CPS1/2 and NeoGeo, right?). Systems they're designed to emulate are probably going to run much faster on those emulators than on Mame. Mame has more general drivers without any speed hacks or things like that. The philosophy for Mame is completeness and accuracy above speed. That's primarily why I use them instead of Mameox for the systems they emulate.
Anyway, if those games run better on other emulators, just stick to them. Mameox is nice because it runs a ton of other systems that no other emulator will run.

I did. It loads the roms and gets to the check rom screen but it goes into a reset loop from there. It does this in MAME32 for the PC so I think I have a bad set.
Either way, it does load the roms so I assume if I get a good working set, it'll run the game.
Hell, just the few games I've tried that I knew wouldn't work with the old Mameox are working now with the update.
That's not a very good excuse. MHz (Kawa-X) is one person and he had never done anything on the Xbox before, yet he came through with the best VMM and best-looking graphics of any emulator.Vagabond said:
Not saying I don't appreciate Xport's work or anything, I just thought with all his experience it'd be watertight. There's always hope that he can tighten up the code, though, I guess. And I have played some amazing new (to me) games today, so it's all good in the end.
Which probably means you're running at the default commit size of 1024. Yeah, more games will run on that setting, but games that don't need it will be loading slower and sometimes running choppier than they need to be. Your loss, so I don't really care. Do what you want.eso76 said:

Oh, I didn't know that. honestly i just rushed to try the emu without reading anything that came with it, so i may be missing something, but so far all the titles i'm interested in run smooth and load relatively fast. Thanks anyway, i'll try tweaking those settings

Or you can have the best of both worlds and get a mini tower 3.0ghz PC, roughly the same size as box, with TV out, ATI remote and not have to trip on speed or load times...AT ALL
*killer PC cases*

I've been waiting for Run N Gun to work to get back into MAME. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Cockles, that was fixed in a previous version.
