HyperG · Post by **HyperG** » Tue May 14, 2002 9:47 pm

Alright, we're not the ones who coded unofficial MAME, Sisei hacked together a nice working unofficial MAME. Thanks to him for that!

However, not everything works, so more things needed changing within the driver/tmnt.c file . Delt with video of course.

This release fixes where the screen is, however we're still not done with it as we're not completely happy how it looks. Hopefully tomorow the final one will be done with, so you could play TMNT on your sega dreamcast happily.

New release available, check topic pagehere

Source Code beta 0.2
http://dev.dcemulation.org/files/dcsoft ... source.zip

Released upon request of ATani. So I put it up quick before I get yelled at, not like it won't get released tomorow :-p with improved screen.

- tmnt.mak goes in /src/ folder
- add tmnt as a target in makefile
- tmnt.c file goes in /src/drivers

Just a pure fix with video being drawn on screen, lets just put it that way.

if u can get TMNT to run, might it be possible to get the simpsons to. since the two are similar games and all.

Y'know the screen where it says "type ok" right? Is there anyway to get this program started if you dont have a DC keyboard?

hisashi joe · Post by **hisashi joe** » Wed May 15, 2002 8:51 am

same as the pc version.
Use the L&R ON THE CONTROL PAD (not shoulder buttons...)

HyperG · Post by **HyperG** » Wed May 15, 2002 3:09 pm

Oops yeah forgot to mention basic controls. You can use keyboard also but I don't know all the controls to that (I assume it is like the PC version).

During gameplay

START+A+B+X+Y ( i think ) - return to game menu (not needed really!)
L Trigger - Brings up a little configuration menu, nothing too fancy really. I think info basically.
R Trigger - Insert Coin
A, B, X, Y - I think all of them work for the arcade games, not sure as I have tried only TMNT of course, and I have used A and X during game play ( X jumps, A punches ).

Anyways , heres whats expected with todays release that will come out sometime later today :-p .

- Frameskip option.
- Full screen, looks normal now, problem wasn't in the driver/tmnt.c file however, it was actually just the ported code osdepend.c in dreamcast folder.
- Full 4 player support (MrSiggler is working on this at the moment) with controller.

However, once this release comes out, that'll be the end for our releases of the TMNT mame emu. We'll release the modified source, which is just a patch file actually now :-p . I just call it this due to the fact it plays TMNT , which MAMED never did

, and I couldn't wait for anybody else to do this :-p . Actually next game I'll probably try getting to run is Simpsons. If then so, I'll try other games as well with the Konami hardware, and see if I can put together a pack with DreamInducer afterwards.

Is there any plan on doing other arcade games for MAME? Is it even posible to use it for CP-1 or CP-2 because I noticed the site with the script had screen shots from cp-1 using dcmame I assume but couldn't read it as I don't know chinese?

HyperG · Post by **HyperG** » Wed May 15, 2002 5:45 pm

If the games are big enough, yes. You got to remember you can't simply use just about anything.

16 megs is all the DC has, and once the emulator is loaded up, its taking some memory up already. I don't know the exact amount, but the binary file is like 1.70 megs ( now 1.69 megs, dunno why :-p, and this is for only TMNT by the way).

As of right now 4 players is being worked on. Right now at this very moment, we can't get passed the legal screen asking if you really own the rom ( ohh of course i do, :-p ). It won't let you get passed it. We're trying to fix that quick so I can test out the 4th player. Players 1 through 3 were working.

Oh ya your going to have to find the MAME beta 16 rom yourself ( whatever the latest version rom is I mean), we do not provide that.

Also once this release gets put out, we'll have it ready for either scrambled and/or unscrambled files, no selfbooting images.

HyperG · Post by **HyperG** » Wed May 15, 2002 8:12 pm

A new release will make it tomorow. MrSiggler needs a nap :-p . Controller code got busted at the end, so MrSiggler is going to work with some old code again tomorow ( and man 3 players was working too >_< until it got screwed heh ).

Would put this build I got out, but only the 2nd player works. Player 1 is screwed .

Wow, this is great so far. Can't wait till the next release.

The build i have works with controllers 2+3.
Sound also works in this build, i played through act 1 with sound on and it didn't crash.
The sound really slows down the emulation

maybe a lower sampling rate or mono sound would help.

I am trying to get my build environment working and can compile Sisei's
m37b15sdc.tar.gz source level with KOS 1.1.7 - haven't actually tried using this yet but I have an elf (and I know how to use it!)

I then tried extracting tmnt.c and tmnt.mak and using a tmnt target - no dice... problems with the includes I think...

What levels are you guys using - Mame / KOS / GCC?

BTW - Thanks for releasing the source Sisei, it was me that mentioned the possibility on JWSurine's message board and it looks like it might have got some heavyweight development.

Open source rules!

a nero/dj image would be mighty nice!

And if people are concentrating on one arcade game, may I suggest Atari's 1980 Star Wars arcade game?

There won't be any images of this because you have to supply the tmnt.zip rom yourself.
