Shmupmame 4.2: Lagless Mars Matrix, Strikers 1945, Galaga 88

[jonny5]

Awesome!!

[bcass]

Haha, class.

[IseeThings]

btw the fixes made to Fire Barrel in 0.140u3 obsolete the hacks used to 'fix' it in Shmupmame and also add all the missing scrolling effects etc. to the game.

If you like Fire Barrel you might want to give it a try in the official 0.140u3 now.

This is good news indeed.
Really though I do hope resyncing ShmupMAME to the latest release isnt going to give us even MORE problems with this C++ bloat.

When can we expect a new version of Shmupmame with support for Espgaluda?

[Pulsewidth]

When can we expect a new version of Shmupmame with support for Espgaluda?

Just add the:
memcpy(state->spritebufferram, pgm_mainram, 0xa00);

line from Shmupmame's src/mame/video/pgm.c to the mame0.140u3 version. That's the only change needed to disable the spritebuffer.
It goes immediately after the "const UINT16 *finish = state->spritebufferram + (0xa00 / 2);" line.

[Estebang]

That did the trick. Would still be nice to have Shmupmame's interface (and the ability to organize it with my other games), though.

It should work in the latest shmupmame despite it saying that it's nonworking. Does for me at least.

Same here.

I wonder what causes laggless99 to not work (ie that app wont start 0x0000005 thing). In the past rebooting win7 fixed it but now it point blank refuses to work, shame

Ah, yes, this message... Because of this error, I had to switch to the regular version of 99. I need my savestates in EspRa.De. in order to make better progress.

Man , I couldn"t even dream of playing ddpdoj and ketsui in my 6 year old computer till yesterday , and only knew about these games from youtube videos , but at the moment enjoying these gems for hours (this is not a dream , right ?? )

One little question , is hiscore.dat compatible for these 3 games (counting espgaluda , althought it lags more than other 2) , and if yes , how should I setup it ?

Thanks for anyone making this miracle possible !

Download highscore.dat and drop it in your MAME root. That should do it IIRC.

highscore.dat causes lag?

Did it but no luck getting to work , no .hi file created and not saved.

Can anyone confirm saving high scores work with hiscore.dat please ?

Does it save high scores ?

[bcass]

There won't likely be hiscore.dat support until after the game officially appears in MAME unless one of the devs posting here knocks up a quick entry. It's probably a 5 minute job for someone with the right debug tools.

[lmagus]

will mushihimesama be playable in the near future?

i'm sorry if i'm not supposed to ask something like this, it's just because it's made off the same hardware that doj, galuda and ketsui were, so i was just wondering.

Simple answer, nope.

lrn2read threads + no not same hardware.

It seems mame 0.140u3 has been released , (also mameplus! and kailera builds) , and videos of ketsui running in 0.140u3 are posted in youtube if I am not mistaken.

If anyone got the hiscore.dat to work, please inform if possible and more info.

Thanks

It is indeed out, has been for a few days, but note that the namings for Ketsui and DOJ within the ROMs have been changed. ESPGaluda retains the 'image-1.u0' style but Ketsui et al's been changed to weird stuff like 'u309asudau0' and stuff like that.

Yep , I just dled 0.140u3 plus and only espgaluda recognized , mame does not see doj or ketsui.
Where can I get a list of rom naming changes , I mean how should I rename them for the new version ?
More info greatly appreciated , cannot wait to able to play with hi-score support (dont mean I necessarily get good scores , but it is a big motivation and fun factor for me when playing stgs )
Thanks

Personally I just redownloaded the ROMs at websites that I know have them. MAME tends to be a bitch these days when it comes to finding specific name parts for the ROM pieces. Maybe MAWS has updated their pages at last, but I doubt it.

Version 3.0 will be coming shortly:

-based on mame32 Plus 99 (savestates, custom buttons, autofire, better performance)
-backport of cave pgm games to mame99 (including savestates)
-backport of seibuSPI fixes to mame99
-backport of a few minor shmup related fixes.
-many new lagless drivers (20 new patched drivers!)

and a few surprises...

So its identical to 0.99 video options wise,isnt it a tab bit outdated if so?


Nevertheless awesome

oh and final question which version of roms are we supposed to use?

0.140 U2 or U3?

YES

That fits my performance-friendly needs precisely. GREAT STUFF!

Once the release comes out can we request shmups to backport if they aren't already?

[nimitz]

Actually, the video options included in Mame Plus 99 are far superior to the ones we have now in current mame versions.

-integer scaling (aka clean stretch)
-integrated effects and filtering options both for d3d and ddraw
-HQ2X type filters (for those who like it that way)
-Much better scanlines options (in d3d mode)
-Not as resource intensive

Newer is not always better.
