Sega Model 2 UI

[Nuexzz]

Hello everyone, it really bothers me to have to do many steps to configure my favorite game, then I started to add some features for Daytona and started adding functions until I finished adding all the games.
Keep in mind that if you have errors is because I'm not a programmer (just a curious) which I consider a Hobby, I have no trouble for the aggregates I plan to do.
in a few words, I publish it to not keep it for me, as I did with many things.

This is a simple UI for the "GREAT EMULATOR" By ElSemi SEGA Model 2 Emulator. v1.1a

Cool!

Thanks for sharing. We are now waiting for a supermodel GUI

[tomato123]

Thanks! My friend!  Can you add a feature to adjust the volume to preset level, and then restore the volume after the game?

[Nuexzz]

Thanks! My friend!  Can you add a feature to adjust the volume to preset level, and then restore the volume after the game?

if now that I think that is a good function to add, since I am looking for the wide screen hacks of the games and I have to reduce the volume from windows.

added (you can try it and tell me if everything works correctly then I will update to the first post )

 thanks

I've got a lot of scripts I wrote... maybe if I can ever get motivated to get ts2 out the door we can merge them into an all in one solution.  I just added some basic stuff like widescreen, scanlines ect. 

[Nuexzz]

it could be .. I would also like to implement sweetfx (only for the curvature mode) because I could not configure it without the scanlines, I think it loses a lot of quality

[tomato123]

I just test the program. The volume can be adjust in real time. 

But the function I need is reduce the volume to a "preset" level" (For example If I can set it at 10%).  After exit, the game I played, it should "restore" to original volume level (The volume level before I run the game).   

The process should be like this:

1) My current computer volume is 75% (could be any volume)
2) The program should record the current volume when double click the game
3) Before it run the game, reduce the volume to the "preset" level (For example, 10%)
4) Enjoy playing the game at 10% volume.
5) When exit the game, the volume should be restore to 75%

Sorry for asking too much!

Thanks! My friend!  Can you add a feature to adjust the volume to preset level, and then restore the volume after the game?

some games resist

Thanks for sharing. We are now waiting for a supermodel GUI

Yeah... like that will ever happen. Unfortunately I already died from holding my breath while waiting for a Super Model GUI and I am now a ghost.

I have been thinking of trying to use macros in Windows to allow me to select and load games with a mouse click instead of using command line (which is usually enough to make me skip model 3 games altogether).

Well yes, I was thinking about (pausing) model 2 UI and starting with model 3, a year ago I did not update my supermodel.
tell me one thing, why did I stop working model 3 UI? if you can post your supermodel.ini.
So we started

[Stremon]

This GUI looks great, but I get a serious virus warning for the zip file with my antivirus (Trojan:Win32/Zpevdo.b).
Is that a false positive or a real undetected threat?

[Ali]

I updated my DirectX 9... I cant to run fine the M2 emulator.
BUT... running the Nuexzz "Volume" GUI it ask me to d3d9.dll (no problem I have it in my system...)
But I puuting it in my dicectory...
It now ask me to "encdr.dll", encof.dll, snbar.dll... and I can't find it on my system (Windows 7 - 32bits) or on Internet!
Please, hat's the matter?
Is my DirectX 9 incomplet yet?

Best regards, Ali

Item0,1,2,3.dll are detected as viruses. I imagine that they are false positives...

[Nuexzz]

They are false positives, we already made claims that they scan it in depth, but ... I guess it takes time.

[lazzlo]

Nice looking UI.

Any chance of an upload at www.zippyshare.com? I have troubles with the reCAPTCHA showing up at uploaded.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Print.dll included in this program is copying not only the window of UI but also the screenshot of the whole screen being displayed to the clipboard.
What is this required for?
Please tell me.

[Nuexzz]

it's actually a little dirty trick, because when I started the emulator in window mode it always showed the native resolution of the emu (640x480) then.
Take this resource to show the desktop for 1 second and wait for the window to be resized in background mode from behind.
you can prove that print only works when you launch the game.
Maybe I should remove it if someone seems suspicious, I have no problems

edit:
Here I leave the print disabled, so you can see the difference

Can you ever make it possible to add in networking settings into this GUI as well and the ability to turn on lagfix or other things like that?

[Nuexzz]

hello, when finished with sega model 3UI I plan to add those network functions and clean a little sega model 2UI

Can you use a better place to upload the file? Chrome blocks that one, never had that issue before. I cant stop it blocking the file.

Thanks mate

Ill check it out now.

Ive been struggling to get the G29 controls working well in the Daytona 3 and Sega Racing Classic, they work so well in M2 Emu. Seems very non-linear in SRC and Daytona 3.

[AMG KC]

Now im not able to download it at all because it says ive reached the limit.

Is there another download mirror?

Thanks mate

Am i correct in thinking that this is just passing the command switches to the emulator? It would be nice if you added an additional button to save out an ini file with the settings in. It has been a while since i looked at this but I have put an emulation machine together and so I am starting to dig into the emulators a little. I can't remember it uses on ini with settings for each game or separate ini files...

I am just thinking if you offered the ability to output to the ini file it would make your tool useful for configuring the emulator when calling it from a front end.

One .ini for the whole emulator, and each game saves a file in the config folder for settings and buttons.

thanks, but getting a virus detected from the download, so deleted.
