G-Stream is supposed to run good in the latest release. Can´t check it though, MAME OS X is always a few releases behind.

Ketsui has been dumped, but it won't be emulated, due to Cave's specific requests NOT to emulate their newest games.

They still have the right to just prohibit the emulation. It´s their game.
Besides, it´s going to be ported now, and who knows how long they´ve been playing with the idea of porting it.

Actually they don't. Copyright allows them to restrict how the game itself is distributed, but you can't copyright a programming model (and it's not their programming model to begin with).

Mame32 .127 - Viper Phase 1 runs like it always did, no problems whatsoever here on my setup...

MAME 0.127u1 added Aero Fighters Special, which is an English-language version of Sonic Wings Limited. If you're one of the few people that wanted to play through it with delightful engrish, now is your chance!

on a sidenote: VP1's native screen resolution is 54.000000 Hz - if run in Mame at 60.000000 Hz it's about 11% faster

ok so can anyone help me get vp working, ive just got the newest mame, but when i try to load the vp rom it gives me the black screen with the game title, some japanese writing below and a counter counting down from 999. ive seen this before and cant remember how to get it off.

Thanks

I wonder why some other people besides MAME team aren't trying to emulate Ketsui or Espgaluda or any of the other Cave games that aren't emulated yet. After all, it was people outside the MAME team that finally cracked the CPS-2 and CPS-3 and got that going.

Let the countdown go to 0, and then restart. The game should work fine then.

thanks a lot got it working, has proper sound too unlike my old version i was playing. How do i get it to play in 50hz tho instead of 60hz cos it seems too fast as i mentioned before?

Guardians Knight · Post by **Guardians Knight** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 10:26 am

Heh, you have my avatar from ages ago

(Not that this contributes anything to your question, though...)

a great article bout Mame & game-speed can be found here:

http://www.retroblast.com/20060131135/A ... Tweaks.php

i am using Technique 2: Use the monitor's timer only (incorrect speed but perfect picture) cause the default Mame-setting looked absolute horrible imho... O_o

When will Gradius IV run full-speed? Ever?

upgrade yur 'puter

I think the latest hi-speed internet access can do it (w/ CORE 2 HI-SPEED, my 2.4 GHz e6600 is too slow though).

Core 2 Duo E8400 at 3.0 GHz here, no dice...

I just updated to the latest version of MAME, but now Varth won't run. So I went back to 0.122u4.

captpain · Post by **captpain** » Sat Sep 13, 2008 7:09 pm

Every game that has ever been listed as "available" and "working" in MAMEUI32 has run for me without a hitch.

If this is the same region as the Special PCB I have (Korean?) I think you will be surprised how much harder the difficulty is compared to the JPN region.

Could you do me a favor and check on Varth if you have it? Maybe it's just the rom's release version or whatever it's called. It runs fine in 0.122u4, but it says I'm missing a couple of files with the latest MAME release. Had the same problem with Gradius 4 with the new version, but it runs passably in the old v.

Yep, works fine... Maybe you need to try something like http://www.clrmame.com/ (dunno if this is the right tool for the job)
