Neocdpsp 0.7.1 !

[zelurker]

Sorry, almost as always with releases with lots of changes, a stupid bug made its way to 0.7 and made lots of games to crash (last ressort at startup for example).

So this is the only change in 0.7.1, but it's quite important !
It's there

[samuraix]

Zelurker You Are the Man!!!!

Art Of Fight 3 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work

Metal Slug 2 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work

Fata Fury 3 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work

Samurai Shodown 4 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work

The King Of Fighters 99 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work

Last Blade 2 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work

Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 - Graphics, Sound FX, Music all work


I would like to mention on thing though. I had added album art to the ID3-Tag of MP3s So that when I'm listening to them through the Sony Menu I can see NeoGeo Cover Art. Now on neocd 0.7.1 Its having problems and the error its reporting is: "Reserved Header Layer Value" which then does not play the music within the game. Simple fix is to remove the album art but it would be nice to have. Once last thing..... Would it be possible to have control over the sound debug printing from within the menu?

Once again Great Job Zerlurker!!!!! Now that I'm hearing hi-quality stereo sound I couldn't be happier!!!!!!!!!

[zelurker]

Thanks for that.
I thought about these graphics in id3 tags, but didn't take the time to test them. I guess I'll have to check this. And for the gui, I hesitated to add this option to avoid confusion... I think the gui would need to be remade, and dgen is a great example for that...

Anyway, I'm glad that you lilke this version !

[siso]

great!!! my favorite games work fine.

[youaho]

Great work and THANKS for this

Art of Fighting 1 work fine but have a bad sound fx.

Art of Fighting 2 work with sound and music.

Art of Fighting 3 work with sound and music.

Breakers work with sound and music.

Fatal Fury 3 work with sound and music.

King of Fighters 94 work with sound and music.

King of fighters 95 work with sound but no music in round!!!

King of Fighters 96 work with sound but no music in round!!!

King of Fighters 97 work with sound but no music in round!!!

King of Fighters 98 work with sound and music .

King of Fighters 99 work with sound and music .

[lodis]

For some reason, the music in my King Of Fighters 96 no longer works or it will just stop as soon as I go to start a new bout.

All I can hear during fights now are sound effects. Sound and music is definately enabled in the config menu and all ID3 tags have been previously removed from all .MP3 due to the bug that was found in 0.6.2 NeoCD version.

The only request I have for this emulator is for it to store the location of ur NeoCD games so there will be no need to find them each time.

[frmariam]

Just registered to post this. I'm running 0.7.1 in a 2.0 PSP through Fanjita's EBOOT Loader 0.9 (please don't forget us 2.0 when next Snes9xTYL comes out...)

I still get IPL.TXT errors when loading zipped games... Tried only Bust-a-Move (because it's small ;D ).
Also when you go to a parent directory I can't seem to browse back to the NeoCD folder (it doesnt show inside the GAME folder in th Emue menu - maybe it's just me)

I have to keep them unzipped to run them... Other than that they run fine (but take a lot of space that way).

Also could we select either to display/hide the song name in the menu (like the fps counter)

[samuraix]

To lodis,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by storing the location. Each game needs its own directory due to memcard.bin when you save your game. So in order to load up a game and go to the directory that has the game and load up the zip file. Could you explain your feature request a little more?

To frmariam,
I don't get the IPL.TXT errors when playing Bust-A-Move (game seems fine). Granted i only played the first level. When do you see these errors.

As for your second problem I am able to go all the way back to root and then back to the game directory and load up the game (all games are zipped).

Perhaps you should refer to the Thread: "Neo CD PSP Problem". My post describes usage of homebrew using 2.0 eboot loader 0.9. Hope this helps everyone as I'm also a 2.0 user.

[lodis]

My feature request to store the location of games can be further described as follows.

All of my NeoCD games are stored in a directory called Psp\Roms\Neocd.

Each time I start the NeoCD emulator I have to navigate back to the root of my memory stick, then into Psp, into Roms and then into the NeoCD directory.

So if NeoCD stored the general path then you would not need to navigate anywhere. For example it could store the path Psp\Roms\Neocd or where ever else your games were located so when you start up the emulator, it would already be in the general directory so no navigation would be needed.

Edit: I almost forgot to ask whether the reason for sound no longer working properly in some of the KOF games that were working fine in the previous version is known or not.

[dacura]

excellent work, but and noticed that in this version the metal slug 2 slows down much when ay movement in other versions ran but fluid, so that can be, a greeting masterful

[zelurker]

No the reason for the sound problems in kof is not known, or it would be already fixed otherwise !
Glad to see there is no major bug left...

Lodis : ok for storing the path. What a strange idea to store your roms outside the neocd directory, but anyway...

frmariam : I don't believe this is a fw 2.0 error, it's much more likely just a newbie mistake in the way you are preparing your zip. Maybe you can fix it by yourself : there must be no directory in your zip file, all the files must be on the same level, and there must be an ipl.txt in it. If you can't fix it by yourself, just send the zip by mail to someone on this board who can make it to work, so that he can explain your mistake to you (I would prefer not me, because I have other problems to look after ! ;D)

[siso]

Samurai Spirit 3 and Real Bout ff2 send me this message:

disk I/O error ( id = 0003 )please power off

I use these games without mp3

[fakk2]

thanks a million Zelurker for another great release, time for some testing. I knew I shoulda been around yesterday. lol

Siso, you need to crack certain games. Here is the link for the kit.

www.megaupload.com/?d=MGAEFK0Q

[nobitakun]

Please add Key Config.

[zelurker]

You know I can't reach your tutorial by this link ?
I arrive at some stupid ads in a commercial site (in french), and nothing about your tutorial.

Well if you want to host it somewhere else, send it zipped by mail to me, and I'll host it with my neocdpsp files.

[siso]

fakk2, thanks! Zalurker, the link is correct for me.

Ah, in the future can you add the hack/debug menu of sne9xTYL?

bye

[fakk2]

The link is for the Mega Uploads link of the tutorial. (my website is down for now) but I sent the file directly to you and it was sent back due to it being too big in size.

Zelurker, below is another list of the test results of this version of NeoCDPSP 0.7.1 and I will update it frequently. I will ignore the little graphical bugs until we get all games working first.

First bug the Emulator still has, is the music on NeoCD music tracks have 10 seconds of silence at the end of every song. The real system knows ths and automatically replays the song 10 seconds before it ends so that way it skips the 10 seconds of silence. The emulator still plays that 10 seconds of silence after each song and its not supposed to.

Second Bug: alot (if not all) games seem to be playing a bit too fast or the backgrounds move too fast (KOF95 for example backgrounds are moving way too fast no matter what I do and the gameplay of Metal Slug seems to fast. etc...

im getting a message on the bottom of the screen saying cant find mp3 track * ...i was previously using v 6.2 and did not get these messages...my reason for switching version was it when loading the roms/isos it was crashing i would get a black screen that would hang...anyone know how to fix this mp3 message??

[raylokn21]

Hi, I find a samll bug in Aggressors of Dark Kombat:

Along the enegry bar and the time counter there is a black shadow. I remember there is not a shodaw in the previous versions. This is not affecting the gameplay. Just a minor bug.

Ok I'll try something different. I did run zips in 0.5c but they were too slow and since I had a 1GB MS I had them unzipped. Now that I think of it I guess I was compressing the files inside a folder. That's so stupid... I sounded like such a n00b And I'm using it for ages... I'll check it

Lodis : ok for storing the path. What a strange idea to store your roms outside the neocd directory, but anyway...

I used to store all of my roms in the same directory as my individual emulators but as time went on and I began to use more emulators, I found it easier to organise all different roms in one seperate directory, so for example I have the Psp/Roms directory and it contains sub directories of GBC, NeoCD, Scumm, Nes, Snes, Turbogfx, Sega and so on with the roms in those individual directories.

I find it easier to organise and add/remove etc. I am glad to say I use all of these emulators under 2.0 with no problems. I am also glad that NeoCD runs fine under 2.0 Fanjitas Eboot loader, I am assuming it is because it does not need or (unnecessarily) make use of kernel mode access?

Thanks for all of the updates, dedication and hard work, keep it up

[kaoken]

Thanks to this neocd emu my psp is much much sweeter. Thanks!

[cyrax]

I got annoying message about "cant find mp3" this version, can you remove them or add an option to disable that message zelurker?

[talisma]

You'r amazing ! Thank you for that new version

[dacura]

proven,

aero fighters 3, proven 8 stages, some small problem of blinking in some texture very little common, you can see one of these activating the demonstration in letters of above of an airplane, sound fx works either sound mp3 works or,


real bout fatal fury special, proven all the phases, single she fails some texture that she interrupts to the other, (single when she loads to leave a phase), sound fx perfect and music mp3 perfect,


windjammers, works or, sound fx works or and music mp3 works or,


viewpoint, works or, sound fx works or and music mp3 works or


last resort, works either, sound fx works or and music mp3 works or


pulstar, proven 2 stages, works or, sound fx works or and music mp3 works or


king of fighters 99, proven all the phases, works perfect, sound fx works or and music mp3 works or


alpha mission 2, proven 4 phases, works or, sound fx works or and music mp3 works or, in 0.7.0 did not work the sounds nor music, in 0.6.2 if they worked,


nam 1975, proven 2 phases, single one a small failure, very fine black lines in vertical of the screen when you play, but very very little common, but works or, sound fx works and music mp3 works


neo drift out, works or, single small fine black lines and small in race they appear some times, sound fx works and music mp3 works


greetings, I will continue proving, at the moment works everything very or, really is incredible, the only thing that hurts to me are the ralentizations of metal slug 2, when it moves much in screen, I believe that in 0.6.2 fluid ran but, as it comments before

[kerryking]

I was checking out the roms in zip form and when I was playing aero fighters 2 the music could not be found. I played the game unzipped and it worked. I was putting the music files in the music dir on the psp.
thanks for the release keep it up

PS thanks again because now I can hear sound effects in aero fighters 2

[limbo]

Great update. Some games like Art of Fighting are actually running much faster and smooth.
I don't know if has been reported before, but there are some sprite bugs on Super Sidekicks 2 and 3. The playing field is not there LOL. The game works, but you are running over a solid or inviseable floor. PM if you need the iso to test it.

[fakk2]

The floor is missing in Super Sidekicks 2 and 3 and messed up on alot of others, I believe the reason is because the raster effects for that are not yet implemented in this emulator, perhaps they will get implemented in a future release. Right now we just want to get all 98+ games running first, then we get to the little graphical bugs. one thing at a time.

[silverstar]

1) Nice programm ^^

2) Please add key config

3) Bug Report:

When you set frameskip from 0 -> 1,2,3... the 60fps limit doesnt work any longer.
Games runs to fast and i got load error in some games: Disk i/o Error (ID = 0003)

[fakk2]

Disc IO error =0003. means you need to crack your games.

Hey Zelurker, All games tested and list updated. Waiting until next version.
