CPS3 Broken!!!

I am using C++ and making a program that finds pointers, changes data how I want it to (select a range and set add, del, mul etc), and most of the stuff is hex.

If you want me to go into greater detail or if you are interested in it drop me a pm. It’s kinda complicated. =/

I wonder why Jojo’s Bizarre adventure games had to be on CPS3. Playing it now its a great game, but graphically not as 2D intensive as something like MVC1. The games could have easily been CPS2, same goes for Red Earth i think.

Only the SFIII trilogy really needed the CPS3 horsepower.

JoJo’s and Red Earth both use a lot of hardware scaling. There’s no way either would work on CPS2 for that reason alone.

Remember that programmers take a while to get used to hardware as well. 3S is the last of the CPS3 games, and the programmers doing it had a lot more experience with the hardware. You can’t expect games appearing on hardware in the early years to look as good as games in later years.

Ghouls and Ghosts, Knights of the round - 2 CPS1 games. Neither look anywhere near as good as Final Fight and Street Fighter 2, released on the same hardware but quite some years later.

Yep! Another example would be Super Street Fighter 2 for CPS2. Compare that with MvC1 or SFA3 towards the end of CPS2’s career. Another big improvement from beginning to end.

Question. I can’t seem to get 3rd Strike working on Nebula. What versions of Mame are you guys using? I compiled one version (forgot which) from source, but I couldn’t get it to play correctly. I need to play with it more, but I’d like to get some info on what version I can run just to get up and going. thanks! :tup:

yo man if you do change the color palettes…you should make a dark blue colored yun with a white hat and a red yang…and the color from mk vs sf 3 (dont know if you saw it) for akuma…those colors looked effin crazy on akuma…these are just suggestions but whatever if you can change the color palletes i would love to see pics of them…good luck with that

Cyan colored shirt for Shin Akuma in MKvsSF3 was a bad palette…

anyone . Can someone please verify

CPS3 no chd/cd hack for 3s

CPS3 no chd/cd hack for 3s

In case admins get pissed about this, this post is about MAME code and different romsets…no illegal roms are being distributed here…

Someone told me to look into it when the first cd-rom loading screen came out but I never had time. I’m guessing people still use the japanese no-cd romset (sfiii3n) to play with 0.117 these days or has gone through the pain of waiting for 40 minutes… Well, you can turn sfiii3n romset into this: http://kaillera.movsq.net/3sncd/3susncd.gif

hereze how:

open up your src/drivers/cps3.c

find the function “cps3_decrypt_bios”

after the first for loop, add “decrypted_bios[0x1fec8/4] = 0x30202004;”

recompile…and the next time you load sfiii3n, it’ll be US/NoCD all in English =)

Or you could just use cheats…

**I still don’t understand what this NO CD means!?? And it loads a bit longer then the old version… >:( **

It means you dont have to wait 40 minutes when you first play a CPS-3 game.

… From U1,U2,U3,U3.1 It always loaded fast on my pc… in about 10 seconds or less… but with this bloody 00117 whatever it is… it’s so slow!.. and you’re telling me I don’t have to wait 40 minutes? I never had to since I got this one… grrr… This emu needs to die by the Misogi and revert to the previous version settings…

So have you found out which memory locations are used to store win count of p1 and p2?

MAME 0.117u2

Heya. Got a question for you guys.
Has anybody made a GUI-Mame with cps3 capabilities (Kinda like mame32, but I know they haven’t updated in a while) and netplay. It’d be nice to play some of you guys online :slight_smile:

Thanks
