That is why I misunderstood/misread you.
I still don’t get it.
If I had mentioned CPS-1 and CPS-2 somewhere and you just mistakenly believed that I connected those two, then I could get that you misunderstood me.
But how can a misunderstanding about playing CPS-1 games on a CPS-2 board arise when I didn’t even mention CPS-2 in the first place?
If someone talks about A and later he talks about B, then I might mistakenly believe that he connects A and B. But how on earth could I ever tell him: “Hey man, A and B are not compatible” when he never ever mentions B and only talks about A?
Besides, independently from all misunderstandings, the statements that you made are still incorrect. In some of them, you didn’t even reference the CPS-2.
For example this statement:
This is objectively wrong. And this statement has nothing to do with CPS-2, so it has nothing to do with your misunderstanding of my words. You’re only talking about CPS-1 boards here. And you make an objectively incorrect claim, namely that CPS-1 boards apparently only play one game and that there is no A, B or C board.
Even if you, for some strange reason, believed that I wanted to play CPS-1 games on a CPS-2 board, the above statement is incorrect either way, with or without a misunderstanding.
CPS-1 boards do not just play one game. You can connect a CPS-1 board with many game boards. It’s not a single, molded unit.
And there are A, B and C boards in CPS-1:
The A board is the CPS-1 board.
The B board is the game’s ROM board.
And the C board on top of the B board is the board with the connector to the kick harness.
So, how can this statement arise from any misunderstanding of my words? It’s just a plain incorrect statement that should have never arisen in the first place if you knew what you’re talking about.
Even in the assumed context “Someone wants to play CPS-1 games on a CPS-2 board” do those statements not become correct in any way or interpretation. Even if we take into consideration that you misunderstood my words, these statements are still 100 % wrong, no matter the context.
What I don’t get is in the rare situation that someone admits that they’re wrong on the internet that you have so many questions about it and not just accept it and move on. I was wrong, I misinterpreted you. Wrote a reply based on a false notion. Was corrected, owned up to it and you still won’t let it go and make some progress in what you wanted the CPS1 boards in the first place.
The problem with you admitting that you’re wrong is that you try to blame it on your misunderstanding of my words. As if your post would have been correct if I had said what you thought I said.
That’s not the case. Your statements were wrong either way.
Even if I had flat-out asked: “How can I play my SF2WW ROM board on a CPS-2 board”, your answer would still have been wrong:
This sentence is incorrect, not just in a “I misunderstood what you wanted to do” way. This sentence is incorrect, period.
When you say that you misunderstood me, you try to imply that the statements you made would be correct in a context where someone asks how he can play CPS-1 games on a CPS-2 board.
What you fail to realize is that the falseness of your statments is not based on your misunderstanding. The falseness of your statement is based on the fact that they’re false in each and every context imaginable.
See? You only admit that you were wrong by misinterpreting me. But you didn’t admit that your statements would have been incorrect either way.
Even if the false notion would have been correct, your answer still would have been a lot of nonsense.
That’s what I want you to realize. Not because of some personal satisfaction, but because people might get the impression that your statements in itself are still somehow correct and that the only problem is the fact that you answered a question that wasn’t asked.
An example:
If somebody asks me: “What time is it?” and I answer: “A day consists of 24 hours”, then my answer is only incorrect in the sense that I misunderstood the person. But from a factual point of view, what I said is still true.
But if somebody asks me: “What time is it?” and I answer: “A day consists of 25 hours”, then there are two issues:
- I misunderstood what the other person wanted to know.
- My statement was factually wrong either way.
And so far, all you did was say: “Oh, sorry, I misunderstood you. I should have said it’s seven o’clock.”
But what you still didn’t say was: “Oh, and by the way, 25 hours would have been incorrect as well. It should have been 24 hours.”
You see the difference?
I’ve been working on a rewrite of the original game in C + OpenGL for a few years, and it’s getting close to being ready. Because it’s a total rewrite, there’s plenty of bugs and not anywhere near as close as MAME at the moment, but the intention is get it as close as possible before branching off and adding 3D effects (think Paper Mario etc.)
Blog is at sf2platinum.wordpress.com. There’s a video there from 2010 when it was really clunky, all of the glitches in it have been fixed since then but I haven’t made a new video.
Hoping to be able to release the source in the next few months.
I’m sure you all have seen the world warrior boss hack by now
Is that even real? I’ve seen the youtube vids, yeah, but any attempt to find ROMs or even just more info winds up at popup/malware sites.
Having studied the WW code (sfua: 910206 USA):
-There’s no input decoding routines for the bosses
-There’s no AI programs for fighting against the bosses
No simple “hack” for playing the bosses is possible with the WW ROM set, heaps of code would need to be added / modified extensively. It’d be possible to dress the CE code up to look like WW, but that’s not a hack, it’s an entire project.
This looks pretty nice. I guess it’s a very hard project.
By the way, the boss hack ROM is definitely real. Yes, they used a shitty file hoster. But the file, once you manage to download it, is legit.
(I wrote you a private message.)
Thanks DRW!
