ssf2x

I was wondering if anyone has tried to change the music in SSF2 Turbo? The Echelon version, the only version that exists to my knowledge. I have made many copies of custom MvC2 and CvS2 and they all worked just fine, but SSF2X doesn’t work the same. I’ve tried changing the LBA to specified numbers that I’ve ran across on some other forums, but they never got far enough to make the game work correctly. At this rate I can’t even make a successful backup copy, much less a custom mix.

BTW, to all you people who are wondering where to get an IP.BIN, just extract it from the Utopia Boot CD. All you need is that one, and only that one since it will work for all three games 3rd Strike, CvS2 and MvC2.

Anyway, has anyone tried it on SSF2X? I can get it to boot. It will start off fine and let you hit start once, and then the controls stop working - can’t even soft reset! The demo match will start and then start going reeeeaaalllllyyy slow and then both players’ power bars will start to drain all by themselves. Then another demo match will start and it will keep on looping in this manner.

Anyone have a clue?

Let me know, and thanx in advance for any help! :tup:

302

Well, i’m not sure if anyone has made a successful copy of SF2X, Custom one in that matter.
It has never been asked about. The only game they want to know is CvS2, 3S, MvC2.
The best way might be to trying to get ahold of ECHELON if he is still around and try asking him. Since he made it, he might know :tup:

Hope that helped in some way. :sweat: :wink:

303

i have, and it’s the same as mvc2, 3rds, etc, i’ve replaced its music with HSF2 cps1 tunes…only thing you need to do is 1 extra step:
1.- make a cd image file of your SSF2X
2.- use IP Extractor from Megalexx ( http://members.lycos.co.uk/megalexxx/ )
3.- use this new ip.bin you just got for the selfbooting process

ps: see the vid please , can someone help on that one?
4.- you know what to do :wink:

304

Damn that put’s my Tutorial to shame.

305

Just try redownloading the song from another person. I have problems all the time converting and it is almost always that there is just something wrong with the song. Get a few versions of the song if you are having trouble. Sorry for replying to late(school/work).

306

It expired, anyway I can still get this guide, someone send it my way :sad:

307

I think i asked before i have the 3in one disc :smiley: it has mvc2/cvs2/3s can i still edit the music on it?

308

that shit is fucking crazy, wish i could help you.

309

Hey MJ what happened to gaira?

310

I dont see why not. I do not have the 3 in 1 ISO so i havent looked at the raw data of the game. But as long as there were seperate ADX files for each game or if you could locate all the adx files there shouldnt be any problem changing the music. As long as everything goes fine in the selfbooting process I think it should work.

311

Ok i need some help i got right up to the very end of burning my cd i just need to make it self boot but i get this screen.

312

Ok, so Im getting the same problem where the MvC2 disc will power on, disaply DC logo, display Sega logo, reboot and repeat. I followed the instructions of someone else at the start of the thread, where I deleted the IP.BIN file from the root of the folder, and tried to convert it in bin2boot. Bin2boot looked for an IP.bin file, if I say no to create it, it wont run. If I say Yes, it then creates the IP.BIN file, which leads me back to square one.
Any help would be much appreciated.

9 coasters and counting…

313

Thank you, ComboMasher… nicely done, very helpful.

For the guy that asked, I still crack the occasional beer with kafuin_gaira; he doesn’t play fighters that much anymore, and doesn’t really make customs (although he has been gracious enough to agree to teach me). I think making a number of 3S discs for people will take the taste for making customs out of your mouth somewhat… :razz: Anyway, I think that video tutorial was his parting gift, he never did it much after that.

314

I ran into this when trying to make my custom Marvel. Even though a fix may have been posted already, I used the following link for an explanation and some DOS files that can help:

http://windowsxp.mvps.org/16bit.htm

Hope that helps somebody out.

315

If you know how to use linux, sure. But it would actually be easier to rebuild a 3in1 from the ground up with the new music than it would be to modify TDC_Final’s music (which would still require linux knowledge. I haven’t found a program in Windows that creates ‘hard links’ in ISO’s)

316

I was able to get kafuin_gaira to instruct me on making a custom MvC2; at one point he was making tons of them and was taking requests both on SRK and on the GoForBroke hub. He likes doing a lot of the steps via the Command Prompt, and I was able to save the log when he did mine. It starts with him converting some of the song files; it doesn’t contain the dummy file step at all because that part was already done. There was one erroneous part that he personally snipped out of the log.

If you know DOS well and are comfortable with it and have a good understanding of how making customs works, then doing at least some of the steps this way might save you some time. If not, it would probably just confuse you a lot & you’d be better off the conventional way. Anyway, here’s the log…

ill re-up kafuin’s vid tut if ya want it…

319

That’ll be cool if you could. :tup:

320

i’ll try to download it when mjr ups it again to make sure i still have a copy of it laying around, but that cmd log should be all you really need if you have the nonboot mvc2 and the tools in his original link.

cool to see people still pimping this game out, long live the dreamcast!!!
