dynamic beam width (values greater than 0 will push larger intensities
more than smaller intensities)
* fixed ratio of "vector points" (zero-length lines)

Read Haze 's blog entry.



I also enjoy the printer progress that Haze posted regarding the previous release. Hopefully more progress later.

-
Ramiro Polla was busy pushing more boundaries in the emulator with emulation of a printer, including emulating the motors, print head position etc. and rendering what would go to the paper on a virtual screen (we eventually need to decide on an actual output format for virtual printers) he uploaded his own video of this (with the printer running a self-test) which can be seen below.

Re: I believe there's something wrong... new [Re: abelenki]
#346374 - 10/28/15 07:17 PM


From 0.167 PGM.C source:

Code:

ROM_START( ketarr )
ROM_REGION( 0x600000, "maincpu", 0 )
ROM_LOAD16_WORD_SWAP( "ketarr17_v100.u38", 0x000000, 0x200000, CRC(2cb80b89) SHA1(e1aa072b8344890486e11795e02703aa2d234bb1) )

ROM_REGION( 0x4000, "prot", 0 )
ROM_LOAD( "ket_igs027a.bin", 0x000000, 0x04000, CRC(ab54d286) SHA1(897256b6709e1a4da9daba92b6bde39ccfccd8c1) )


Is there a dump of the internal protection? How possible? Shouldn't be like all other sets instead:

Code:

ROM_START( ket )
ROM_REGION( 0x600000, "maincpu", 0 ) /* 68000 Code */
/* doesn't use a separate BIOS rom */
ROM_LOAD16_WORD_SWAP( "ketsui_v100.u38", 0x000000, 0x200000, CRC(dfe62f3b) SHA1(baa58d1ce47a707f84f65779ac0689894793e9d9) )

ROM_REGION( 0x4000, "prot", 0 ) /* ARM protection ASIC - internal rom */
ROM_LOAD( "ket_igs027a.bin", 0x000000, 0x04000, NO_DUMP )


In any case, this makes for now impossible to test the KETARR set. MAME wants that ROM present...

I'm not sure, the code came from HBMAME, it's a blank file, I'll remove it.

and given it hasn't been touched in years it's unlikely to change unless somebody actively takes up rewriting the Jaleco stuff as a priority.

rewriting the Jaleco stuff to not use hacks would be a significant undertaking, and require extensive board tests IMHO.

It would have come with the original rompack. Until now, nobody complained.

I was wondering the same thing. I believe the TNT uses the SC-01 (?) so curious if LN's work gets us any closer to actually having decent sound in q*bert and friends for the first time in... ever.

Lots of other really nice stuff in the whatsnew too as per usual. Amazing and cool momentum.

Hi guys!

Actually it's only genpin, but for some reason it seems to be a sampleparent set for A LOT of other games. Is this right?

I believe it had been mentioned earlier that a fair amount of analog/discrete circuitry also involved with SC-01.....definitely a while before it gets done. 10 to 15 years earlier, it didn't seem possible of the hardware being emulated since no documents were available other than filed patents by the company. I'd like to believe the way progress has been going in recent years that maybe almost there of SC-01 being fully emulated.

The other hardware that catches my interest would be what is used for the Mattel Electronics handheld games. I hope that can be figured out. Sort of same scenario with Votrax SC-01....no documents available from the company other than filed patents. What has already been accomplished with other handheld games is impressive so I hope it might be possible for Mattel Electronics handheld games also being emulated.

Agreed on both accounts, but especially the SC-01. I'd love to think someday we'll hear q*bert accurately belt out his semi-random phonemes as we may remember from the arcades! So yeah, any progress here, even if it's just an inch, is so cool to see.

I'm not sure if it's something specific to my system here, but with 0.167, I created a fresh mame.ini and noticed I had to manually add a line for bloom_scale because it's missing from mame.ini and defaulted value of 0.250 is way too much.

In my opinion a value of 0.050 is much better.

so my mame.ini for HLSL is this

Must be something with your system. Bloom Scale is in mine. Also, you should have bloom_overdrive 0.0,0.0,0.0 under bloom scale instead of vector_bloom_scale and raster_bloom_scale. Those two have been depreciated. And, your missing smooth_border 0.0 which should be under round _corner.

Mr. Ric is right. This release is kind of a major update to HLSL. Your .ini seems wrong to me and is missing parameters. Consider a clean install of MAME. The HLSL folder for example is nearly completely reworked with even new elements. If you really created a "NEW" mame.ini with the actual MAME.exe, it shouldnt look like yours at all.

Okay, It worked the second time I re-did it.

Thanks!

Maybe I missed the bug report, but I can't launch a single game with MAME64 when HLSL is enabled.

I tried with a fresh install and a fresh mame.ini

I launch the game, it crashes MAME64 and after that, MAME64 is crashing at the opening, until I delete mame.ini

Everything else is working fine and GLSL too.

Please explain in detail how you did the fresh install and what are your hardware specs?

Because you didnt do a fresh install
What do you guys dont understand with the term "FRESH INSTALL" ???
It means the whole package, EVERYTHING. Not only just picking the Mame.exe and exchange it with your old one. Do you even know, that there are many .fx files in the HLSL folder, that could be changed in a update?

If GTA 6 is released, do you only exchange the GTA 6.exe with your old GTA 5.exe? Would you call this a fresh install?

Do you expect that your saved games from GTA 5, will work with GTA 6? Hope this clarifies it for you .

When I say "Fresh Install", I do mean "Fresh Install". A brand new MAME64 executable in a brand new folder. No need to be sarcastic.

I thought it was a 0.167 problem as it was working with 0.166 before. I re-downloaded 0.166 and the problem was also there.

I reinstalled DirectX and some Redistib from MS (they were already in my computer) and back to normal. No idea why it didn't work before.

False alert.

Even this is a bit of a problem the way you describe it

'a brand new MAME64 executable' isn't enough.

There are a lot of sites stupidly offering MAME distributions containing ONLY the mame64.exe file*, this is bad, bad, bad. You should specifically avoid emucr and a lot of places offering 'no nag' builds for this reason.

Why is it bad? because a lot of MAME features these days need additional files, HLSL is one of those, Software Lists are another, without the support files you have a broken install that is liable to crash.

The official distributions found on mamedev.org of course do include the correct support files, but simply saying 'new MAME64 executable' doesn't convey this message properly.

I'm glad you have it sorted now, but don't underestimate the ham-handedness of some people packaging MAME. None of this is being sarcastic or treating you like an idiot.

* or in some cases out of date support files alongside it because they didn't bother to update them either, again just dropping a new exe into an old distribution folder they had.

OK. Thanks for your explanation. As english is not my native language, I thought I was explicit enough, but obviously not.

What I wanted to mean by fresh MAME64 is a fresh MAME64 that I found on mamedev, the complete pack with the executable and folders. I'll do my best to be more understandable next time, but it's not easy to explain something that bothers me when I don't have all the tools to explain clearly !

Well, Back to MAME and HLSL. Thanks for your time.

@uman or Jezze

I noticed an issue if people download the official binary package. It doesn't contain all the slot PNGs and people may not know where to get the correct ones.

I'm thinking this should be changed.

Why aren't samples included in the binary pack?...

Probably same reason they aren't included in MAME official binary package.

Anyway, get them here

@Jaylinx
If you still have the problem, can you please start MAME with the -verbose command line option and post the console output after the application crashed.


Code:

mame64.exe -verbose

Thx B2K24, Jezze and me are aware of this problem since yesterday and it is not only the artworks, that are missing in the binary, also the artwork_support folder inside the HLSL folder is missing. Funnily enough, the source, contains all these files. Maybe you could inform the right people, that would be nice. We both dont know, who is authorized to change this or even why this happened.

As i am just a person, who is not providing anything of value and should better shutup... i will do exactly this.
have a nice day.

Because the binary contains only the emulator. Roms and/or samples are not and will never be included.

Anyway, I got the genpin sample and everything is perfect now.
