MAME & NJ's CPS&Neogeo new WIKI

Posted By: MikeDX

I've created a WIKI to track the progress and compatibility for my current work in progresses.

http://mikedx.is-a-geek.com/wiki/

This should serve as a full reference for what works (and ultimately what doesn't) in both emu's. It can also be used as a starting point for new features etc.

Please feel free to add your results or just to comment.

CPS1, CPS2 and NEOGEO now fully wifi compatible

Posted By: MikeDX

I've made the last of NJ's trio of awesome emulators wifi enabled, now giving us Neogeo (MVS) CPS2 and CPS1 all playable over wireless between two psps.

I want to make some more changes before I release the set. At the moment, everything is set up to ONLY play in wifi mode, but I will make some changes to the main menu and put wifi in as an option.

The new releases will have the fixes and wifi all in one, effectively superseding the "final" releases by NJ. I will try to contact him this week for his blessing.

It's coming....

Cps2 Wifi!

Posted By: MikeDX

Seems luck is on my side tonight. After a bad start with no controls being sent, I finally worked out how to make cps2 work over wifi..

I've cleaned up the adhoc connection code too now, so it all fits in nicely with NJ's original emulator

As requested, the video is of street fighter alpha 2. I apologise once again for the video quality...

NEOGEO wifi, and soon; CPS2 wifi......?

Posted By: MikeDX

Just made a bit of a cleanup to the interface of MVSPSPwifi, making it a lot more clean and friendly. I must say that NJ has done an incredible job with his emulators and they are a pleasure to work with.

Just been playing 2 player league bowling, and it is awesome.

So now I'm going to try and add wifi support to CPS2... stay tuned

Neogeo Emulator, full speed with wifi!

Posted By: MikeDX

Just a quick update for you folks out there in emuland

I've been working on the wifi multiplayer in MVSPSP 1.0 (Neogeo Emulator by NJ) and have made some excellent progress.

The game now syncs up every time (previous approximately 1 out of 4 times would fail)

I've tested it on puzzle bobble and it works lovely in two player vs mode. I made a video to upload to youtube, but I thought no, I can do better than that. So.. I made a video of Metal Slug 1 two player instead!

My apologies for the video quality, my phone is crap and the focus is terrible.

Anyways.. enjoy...

Posted By: MikeDX

Dear all

I've been working hard on getting MVSPSP 1.0 (NEOGEO Arcade emulator) working with wifi support

this evening I made a breakthrough, and have two psps synced up, I've made a video on youtube here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMtXbDG2ebg *update. link now works. Youtube are slow to update!*

MVSPSP 1.0A - Memory Card mod

Posted By: MikeDX

Having spent some time playing on MVSPSP, I was getting increasingly annoyed at the memory card options flashing up on screen all the time.

Please do NOT contact NJ for any support issues regarding this build

The memory card support in MVSPSP 1.0 was mandatory, so I have
made a small modification allowing the user to enable or disable the memory card.

For those of you who wish to save their virtual memory cards, you should create a dir called MEMCARD in your PSP/GAME/MVSPSP directory, which the emulator will store your memorycards if you so wish. (This was in the original emulator but undocumented).

Mvspsp 1.0

Posted By: MikeDX

I've taken the source from NJ's page and created a 1.0 binary release.

Please do NOT contact NJ about this unofficial release. I have no idea what is different between this and version .22, I do know it works, that is all.

Let me know how you get along with it. I've only tried the smallest of roms so far as I don't own any neogeo arcade boards (Andro Dunos).

First modchip arrived!

Posted By: MikeDX

On my desk this morning, I see a psp modchip

I have a donor psp running 2.71 firmware, which will be taken apart tonight and hopefully sucessfully chipped!

I am going to record the whole process on DV tape, hopefully it will not be too painful. I will say that the points to solder are tiny!

So stay tuned folks.. and get your wallets ready.

DS Development time!

Posted By: MikeDX

I've been looking for a little ebook/text file viewer for the DS, for use in the same way as the Brain Age game works, so I've put a little something together, and this is where I'm at.

Currently it is programmed to read a book that is hardcoded into the nds file, but by later tonight it will be reading .txt files straight off a memory card in the GBA slot!

Modchips.. Bricked PSPs.. let me help :)

Posted By: MikeDX

With the upcoming modchip for the PSP i am going to offer a fitting service for those in the UK (overseas people sadly the shipping will cost too much).

Also As far as I can tell I will be able to fix bricked psps.

So, can I have a list of eople who would like to make use of my services? The chips are £50 (aparently), I will only charge a nomial fee for fitting and return delivery - about £25 or so.

For the bricked PSPs, the plan is to restore 1.5firmware, the cost of this will depend on how succesful I am.

Please let me know if you would like to make use of this service! First come first serve. I do expect there to be quite a few people not brave enough to tackle the psp with a soldering iron by themselves!

Just a quick update

Posted By: MikeDX

Hey folks

Just a little update to let you know what I'm up to. I've been bitten by the "NEW" super mario bros bug on the DS, so that has been taking a lot of time lately (ooops) and of course working hard at my normal day job has left me feeling a bit worn out in the evenings.

I've read al of your feedback on the forums, and it looks like I've made at least a few of you happy! Can't guarantee to add all of the features/games that you want, but I'll try dammit!

Next release is going to add at least 10 new games. Donkey Kong will be one of them..

Thanks to everybody who helped me with my typingwand site so far! Sadly not one person has donated to the MAMEPSP fund yet via paypal - which I'd like to use to put to wards another PSP solely for devving.

Look out for a new release this weekend!

Mike

I'm looking for people to help me translate into french, spanish, italian and other languages. Also I'm looking for a nice logo and possibly a website (this one) design. Anybody out there interested?

Mame4all

Posted By: MikeDX

I've not spent much time on MAME-PSP recently, and it seems it has shown! MAME4ALL has been ported to the PSP; something I probably should have looked into myself.

So what are your thoughts on this, my fellow arcade fans!

I will keep my promise. I will release a BETA of MAME-PSP that runs 30 games near flawlessly very soon, just give me a day or so to clean up a little. It's worth the wait I promise

Progress report

Posted By: MikeDX

I thought I'd take 2 minutes from my lunchbreak to let you know what the progress is.

Last night I started recoding the internal engine of mame-psp along with the memory handling. Sadly this broke everything so I propose the following.

I'm going to make a release based on the 30 or so games that work "satisfactory" and then continue my work on the psp specific parts of the port. TMK has done a great job with MAME and I can only hope to improve things.

The 68000 core now compiles and runs correctly, and I successfully ran a neogeo title "League Bowling". Sadly it was less than 40% of the full speed, but it was playable. Maybe once the graphics/memory rewrite has taken place this could improve to 70 or 80% which would then become more realistic for a release title.

Watch this space. MAME-PSP with 30 near perfect games coming soon!

I'm working with TMK's pspMAME....

Posted By: MikeDX

Ok folks, here's the deal

I've taken TMK's pspmame, and i've started taking it to pieces. so far it runs the following games:

Pacman
Flicky
Track&Field
Galaxian

What I want to achieve with this is to release a version of MAME on the PSP with just the *cream* of old titles (roms not included)

So, let me know what games you want to see in there! I'm only going to include games that fall into bth of these categories:

1. They must run FULL SPEED (zero frameskip) on the psp
2. They must not have been released within the past 10 years.

Oh and it works great on 2.01

Mike
