do you feel stupid for not knowing that? they sure are trying to make you feel stupid it seems lol.
why don’t people read the README files…
Screw you all -_- I’m stuck with a french keyboard that doesn’t have a pause button identified.
I did set it in english and found out how to pause though.
OK, thanks for telling me how to change the Region in MAME guys :tup:
Now to find out how to play as the hidden characters in JoJo…
Anyone know why 2n impact doesn’t run on the July 12 version of Mame? I just need to have the 45mb zip in there correct?
are there any projects underway to get this running on console? i dont know if xbox can run it properly, but surely ps3 can. imagine a console with tekken:dr AND 3s… just what ps2 should have been lol.
Has anyone else been getting a lot games where you cant type to the user and its starting up the game and its like your playing offline, then you exit the game and and cant type anything in the server you have to reconnect
i’ve played with people, so i don’t know whats up
Edit: wow now its just been consistent now, not one game =’(…
i got the same problem… need some help here.
Its still buggy.
And I got 2nd impact working ty.
You’ve got no chance on an XBox. The CPU’s too slow, and there’s not nearly enough RAM.
CHD games do chew up a lot of memory. Run MAME+3S in a window, fire up task manager (windows) or top (Linux/UNIX/Mac) and see how much memory it’s using. I don’t know if the 256MB on a PS3 would be enough to be honest.
Games like DoDonPachi and GunBird 2 already creep into the 300MB of RAM usage when fired up under MAME and all ROMs are loaded into memory.
welp i restarted my comp and everything works fine now…=/
Two words.
Virtual Memory.
2 words :wgrin:
Too slow
are the updates over?
mame plus plus runs this fine… why would there need more updates? there are no bugs what so ever that i have found in any game using the latest version of it.
cough***0.117u1***cough
well i think the code needs to be optimised in mame, it requires too much memory/speed to run a 8+ year old system, further more i meant updates as in netplay for the CPS3 emulator [Elsim]
ok so i have the noCD version and it runs fine on Nebula. mame reads it as the CD version, though, so i have to rewrite the thing everytime i want to play on kaillera. do i have the wrong chd or something?
Uhh yeah, that’s kinda the problem with emulation. Get a better processor if you want it to run smoother, or find an emulator that uses GPU acceleration.
RAM is around 1000 times faster than disk (RAM latency is measured in nanoseconds [10^-9] whereas disk latency is measured in milliseconds [10^-6] - making disk literally 1000 times slower OR WORSE).
Swapping back and forth to disk is called “thrashing”, and means instant and severe reduced performance for applications that do it.
Virtual Memory (ie: “swap”) is designed for what’s called “graceful process degradation”. It allows a process to gracefully make it’s way out of RAM to swap to free up for other interactive/foreground apps, and then eventually quit out and die (unless it’s used again, and swapped back into active memory pages).
Running a single application that has half of it’s active pages in RAM and half in disk means the application (a) runs up to 1000 times slower for any memory calls and (b) has additional overhead as it pushes RAM pages to disk and vice versa.
So once again, I don’t believe the the PS3 has enough physical RAM to cope. And all the “Virtual Memory” (swap) in the world isn’t going to fix it. In fact, it’s the very reason WHY it won’t work so well on PS3.
