Anyone Play MELTY BLOOD?

[twistedsymphony]

I recently discovered the Metly Blood fighting games series thought he NAOMI arcade release. looking more into it I discovered that the game was also released on PC, I've since been playing a lot of "MELTY BLOOD Actress Again Current Code" which is the latest PC release (from 2011).

So far it's running great on my cab but I have one problem (and this is a problem with the older games too) when you launch the game it has a pop-up settings menu and requires you to click "OK" before it will launch the game proper. I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a command line parameter or some other settings somewhere to remove this. I suppose I could create an AHK to click ok for me but I've been able to get everything else to work very cleanly so it'd be a shame if I have to resort to such a dirty hack 

If you're not familiar with the Melty Blood series and like 2D fighting games I highly recommend checking it out, it's quite fun

what does the popup say? I get one about dinput because I have multiple controllers plugged in. i have this in my hyperspin script. i believe this is all that relates to it.

myErrorWindowTitle := "padDemul ahk_class #32770"
Settimer, CloseErrorTest, 5

CloseErrorTest:
IfWinExist, %myErrorWindowTitle%
{
ControlSend,, {Enter}, %myErrorWindowTitle%
SetTimer, CloseErrorTest, Off
}
Return

It's not a simple pop up message, it's a windowed version of the full configuration screen that allows you to change the resolution, remap the joystick buttons, etc.

It has an [ok] button in the bottom right and I've found that if you push [Enter] without doing anything else it will close it and continue on to the game. I was just hoping there was some way to tell it that I don't need to configure the game every friggin time I load it.

im guessing you have your plugin path set wrong if its asking you to redo the setting everytime you boot a game

What plugin path? AFAIK there are no plugins for this game, nor are there any paths to set anywhere in the config.

This is the screen that pops up:

im an idiot. i thought u were having trouble playing the naomi version in demul.

i feel bad for confusing you so i did some googling.

maybe this will help

It looks like a much better and cleaner launcher.

that forum also has updates, eng translations and mods if you havent been there before

Both Melty Blood Act Cedanza and Actress Again were released on PS2. 

I run a PS2 in a Chinese-knockoff candy cabinet (currently in my avatar), and it plays a lot of later-gen fighting games pretty well.  A lot of the Arc System Works developed games (Guilty Gear series, Hokuto no Ken, Sengoku Basara X) all play well, as do many of the indie fighters like Melty Blood and Arcana Heart.

Melty blood actress again is a different game than melty blood actress again current code.  (Think super street fighter iv and ultra street fighter iv). Current code is only on pc and ringwide arcade hardware.

Arcana heart is great too I'm running the arcade versions of 2.5 2.6 and 3 on my cab. I still haven't got ps2 emulation working very well yet though.
