GroovyMAME/ARCADE32/64 custom build

[haynor666]

If this is derived from the official ARCADE64, then you don't need a nonag patch - it's got a built-in one that only needs to be turned on.

It was used form MKChamp source :/

BTW. Some old problems with audio for various Konami games has been (?) fixed so probably many hacks are not nedeed now. Someone could confirm proper audio in Super Contra, Aliens, Simpsons, Crime Fighters ?

[haynor666]

Audio fixes/hacks for various Konami games are not needed in version 239 now but would be nice to see confirmation from users if it's really ok.
Also audio fix Gradius, Galactic Warriors is not needed now.

Are there other hacks that are needed to remove? I didn't look closely into mame source for long time using old version in my semicab env so feedback would be welcome as well.

[haynor666]

Version 238 is out.

Version from 229 to 238 are renamed - removed 64 suffix just like in official mame.

Likely the one fixing Captain America and the Avengers' audio, in case there was one for that.

No ,there wasn't any fix for this game.

Please pardon the noob question, but would your latest versions have the killer instinct audio stutter fix by any chance? Thank you.

[haynor666]

I didn't modify Killer Instinct source so if there are problems in official mame then also here.

[MK3FANATIC]

 @haynor666  Would it be possible to compile a groovymame with the mame0139b_64bit version? With the modifications that this version allows, of course. Me and many Killer Instinct fans would be very happy.

Hi, you can run cmdline switchres with mame passing 320x240@60 resolution, right?

I'm not very familiar with command lines, but I can change the mame to 320x240 through .ini , I didn't quite understand your question...

[haynor666]

Version 241 and 242 are out. I'm sorry for delay.

[Moksi]

Hello haynor666
How are you, hope you are fine !
Tried to download 0.246 but Chrome are complain about a virus on the file.
Can you checkout please.

Thanks
Marcos

[haynor666]

ESET says it's fine. No complain from latest Chrome either.

Hi,

I am under XP32 SP3 and the maximum version that I can use is the Custom Groovymame32 0.211 version, from 0.212 it no longer works on my XP32, any idea?

I saw that you had compiled the 32-bit 0.215 too but ditto it does not want to work on my XP32 I get a system compatibility error.

[haynor666]

I stopped support DX8 cards from version 216 but starting from version 212 seems to stopped working on Windows XP sadly probably due official changes.

[Olivcade]

what is strange is that the official versions of Mame/Arcade32 all work on XP32 until the latest.
arghh it's a shame for version 0.216 because it has the "low latency" option but from what I've read it's the equivalent of Groovymame's Frame delay option. so I don't know if it's interesting.

I'm happy to be able to use version 0.211 on my XP32 thank you very much for your work

[peterson65]

cant download on chrome says it has a virus. download on edge also the same but if I choose download as a zip it works but trying to unzip defender blocks and says , see attached

[haynor666]

FireEye (very restrictive) in my work place does not see any virus either. ESET at my home also says it's ok (at least for versions 245 and 246).

[haynor666]

Version 247 is out.

[Endprodukt]

Thank you so much for your work. Would it be possible to include Mk2+ and Umk3+ into the build?

It's an amazing update to the original Mortal Kombat games. https://mortalkombat.plus/

HBMame

Has nothing to do with GM though.

[psakhis]

You need a HBMame with switchres patch, aka HBGroovymame.

[Endprodukt]

Okay, that would make sense, but from what I see non of the files in HBMame are matching, completely different romset.

Yes, the ROM hacks and homebrew games that are in HBMAME (or some of the other MAME spinoff builds) are not the same as the un-hacked and non-homebrew ROMs that are in mainline MAME.

HBMAME (HomeBrew MAME) is a derivative of MAME, and contains various hacks and homebrews. It is based on the latest MAME source at the time of release.

What's in it?

    - Homebrew games meant for arcade hardware, or emulators of arcade hardware
    - Hacks of arcade games
    - Test roms and similar that do not generate revenue
    - Selected bootlegs that are not in MAME
    - Games that are enhanced or improved but not suitable for MAME

I'm sorry but my build adds only some modifications for existing games. I don't have any plans to add new games.

As was mentioned earlier HB MAME would be the best choice.

Bummer! Have been trying to make my own HBMame version with your patch and gm, no success here.

Version 247 is out.

i want to add KOF98AE in Arcade32. can some one do this?

AFAIK KOF98AE is a hack from 2007.
- Did a quick check on github and it looks like it's not currently in mainline MAME or HBMAME.   

You should be able to run it using the Final Burn Alpha (FBA) emulator.   


Scott
EDIT: Found this in the HBMAME 0.175 release notes here.

- [kof98ae3]
- [kof98ae20160308] Kof'98 Anniversary Edition 2016

Digging further, "kof98ae" and a large number of other related titles + code (lines 33-2282  ) were removed from the HBMAME kof98.cpp driver with this commit on September 14th.
- No idea when/if those titles and code might be fixed and added again.
- If you use a GroovyHBMAME or HBMAME release between v0.175 and the last version released before September 14th, "kof98ae" should be supported.

If you're looking for the 2016 version hack, line 3731 of the kof98.cpp driver reads "ROM_START( kof98hh02 ) //kof98ae2016h" in current HBMAME source.
- I assume that means that "kof98hh02" is the current ROMname of the 2016 hack.

[Robbbert]

Yes there was a lot of cleaning up recently to remove games that had issues, including all the kof98ae series. Problems included rebooting unexpectedly (with euro bios) or Address Error (with unibios), bad graphics or just not working at all.

Most neogeo hacks originate in China, where they favour using mc68000 cpus that don't have exception processing (such as FBNeo, nebula, kawaks, neorage, etc) and therefore the faulting games won't work on real hardware.
