The unsupported state server/switching feature is great!
I’m really bad with this but credits go to furntree and hanasu for the original idea and providing the savestates
Please help out submitting the missing game’s savestate by contacting them at github
All you have to do is load up the game, get to the title screen and save a state.
PM/Email furntree/hanasu or submit a pull request to their repo
It’s really nice don’t have to worry about flash wasting resources.
Only thing really missing is adding Input delay to make the matches smoother.
Features i can think of are custom theme and automatically decline a challenge if the ping is too high.
I already gave furntree my old savestate for Breakers Revenge Training.
POF doesn’t know about how to change the input delay, I don’t think the input delay option is one of the client-server ops.
It’s probably a undocumented option argument to pass to ggpofba.exe.
Couldn’t get a response from Ponder either, but if you know I can add a setting for that easily.
For custom styles, everyone is welcome to submit additions.

We can load external qss files but if resources (checkbox png, etc) are needed (mostly required for darker themes)
they will need to be specified in absolute paths and a bit PITA.
If it’s bundled those can be loaded from resources (qrc).
Took a quick look at the fba source. Only thing that looks to be dealing with frames for the command line is “quark:synctest”.
I only looked in fba_ggpo.cpp
sscanf(connect, "quark:synctest,%[^,],%d", game, &frames);
So furntree found this in ggpo\config\ggpofba.ini
// — ggpo settings ---------------------------------------------------------
nLatencySmoothing 1
I grep the fba source code I don’t see they read this from ini at all.
And when you change the smoothing in the official client, they don’t modify the ini but instead saved it in adobe air local db
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\com.doubleperfect.ggpo\Local Store\SharedObjects\ggpo.swf\ggpo.sol
username
password
ignoredUsers
smoothing
So it seems like it might be a client-server op after all. Probably an wireshark trace while using the official client, change that setting and start a game will help.

#Version 0.04
- Unsupported game room - Add rom prefix in chat
- More themes and Custom Qt Stylesheet
Sample stylesheets
QT stylesheet reference
Fixes
- fixes error when someone who challenged you left the room
You can now load external stylesheet.
The mame ui has some cool themes but they only skin the widgets that they used. So QTableView is not styled.
If anyone has a completed one feel free to send it my way and I can include them in the build.
#version 0.05
auto check for savestate changes when you join unsupported game channel
First time using Github, just submitted a pull request for 6 new savestates.
OK with the help of netmon and Process Explorer, the mystery is solved.

This is how the official client invokes ggpofba with a smoothing of 4
ggpofba.exe quark:served,ssf2t,challenge-06366-1395521015.66,7000,4 -w
I think the current released ggpo source code is not current
QuarkInit(TCHAR *connect) {
if (strncmp(connect, “quark:served”, strlen(“quark:served”)) == 0) {
sscanf(connect, “quark:served,%[^,],%[^,],%d”, game, match, &port);
ggpo = ggpo_client_connect(&cb, game, match, port);
}
}
From the [MEASURING GGPOFBA MICRO STUTTER] thread, to port ggpo to the latest fba we’ll need an update source tarball from Ponder.
I think I have all the things I personally want checked in now. If you guys have any bug reports feel free to contact me.

I mentioned this on GGPO’s forums, but no chance of a GTK version?
Still, awesome work. :tup:
wait wait wait, so I can finally play GGPO on my macbook? and this is xplatform, so I can play a buddy on windows?
is there a possibility to add a challenge filter by ping/country, ie anyone over 150 ping can’t challenge you or only people from US/NA can challenge
I got error message ‘‘Couldn’t initialize DirectDraw7/ Direct3D7 Enhanced video output module’’. How to install ? Im using wine on macosx.
