Is there a No CD version of JJBA with the hidden characters unlocked?
What are the specs of your mac? Mame has always run worse on my Macs, I’m assuming because it gets less support in general.
I noticed compared to the console versions, the game looks zoomed in. IS there anyway to make it appear like it did on my TV in the PS2 version.
I said this in an earlier post:
This is what SFIII3 looks like on my screen. I use Aperture 2x4bg and Bilinear Filtering (Bilinear Filtering is probably the most important option). Some people don’t like Aperture, I’ve had my friend tell me it looks like an old TV. Be sure to click to zoom in on the image in Firefox/IE it has weird red lines if it’s not zoomed to it’s actual size.
My advice is to enable Bilinear Filtering and choose a Visual Effect.
EDIT: that screen shot doesn’t really do it justice here are some more:
Opening Screen. Looks almost anti-aliased around the edges.
Character Select. The circles aren’t as smooth as they may be with an Image Enhancement like 2xsai. But I think it looks an awful like it does on my TV.
Shin Akuma stage. Looks sort of like my first screen shot, just not during a special so it’s not dimmed.
If anybody else has any settings I’d like to hear what you use and see some screenshots, I messed around with the settings Eiji posted and got some pretty results with that too.
Anyone have any idea why SFIII3 is so damn slow when I try to play it on mame ?
From the discussion here… if you looked… Mame is more memory hungry then the CPS3 emulator. You could try a different video out put aswell.
Welcome to the joys of raster graphics.
CPS2 and CPS3 fighters run at a native res of 384x224 pixels. If you’re playing on a PC monitor at some incredibly high resolution (1280x1024 is pretty average for most low-end LCDs these days), then each single pixel from the emulated game will be scaled three or more times in each direction. i.e: What was a single pixel on the arcade original becomes 9 pixels (3x3) or more on your monitor! Just like if you draw a single-pixel width diagonal line in any paint package and scale the image 3+ times in size, you’ll see the horrid stair-stepping effect as the pixels grow.
If you find that ugly, you’ve got 3 choices:
-
Use the various RGB filters provided by your emulator, as documented by Johneh above. Some emulators also include extra scaling options like Scale2x, but do be warned that all of these chew up extra CPU power. This will attempt to blur the image enough to fool your eyes into thinking it looks better than it really does.
-
Connect your PC via TV-out to a low-res TV. The downside here is most TV-out cards will spit out an interlaced signal, which can be equally as ugly for purists. It’s worth noting however that the PS2 version of 3S is interlaced, so it can’t look any worse.
-
Use AdvanceMAME and/or and ArcadeVGA and connect your PC to a real-life RGB 15KHz arcade monitor. Both represent considerable cost and effort, but will give you the most arcade-like experience, and the best visual quality that is proper progressive scan 15KHz RGB output. Tasty.
In el semi cps3 emu I can’t do ryu joudan move . Anyone have the same problem.
I can do it in mame but elsemi emu runs a little smoother.
yep. well actually the EX character rom set is NCD automatically online.
I managed to find the parry values in the memory and made a “Auto-Parry” code.
Its not perfect but parries 80% of attacks from what I have tested.
OK got a few questions with MAME++
- How do I run CHDs?
- How do I change the Region of some games so that I can play them in Japanese?
- Press tab while game is running and select region from the list.
I’ve got the new CPS3 emulator and the sfIII games but I have a problem I boot them up they all run fine for about a minute - min and half or so and then they go really slow and the sound all stutter. Anyone know why this is?
with what emulator?
CHD is a disk image… needed to run a particular rom set in MAME.
This is a really stupid question but I’m using the nebula emulator; is there anyway to pause?
“Pause Break” button.
Press the Pause key on your keyboard.
…wow…
