FightCade 3S (GGPO killer)

Finally signed up for this. If you see me online, hit me up for some laggy 3S matches.

gonna have to try this out. i assume it’s FBA?

EDIT
yeah it’s FBA. oh well i’ll still give it a try.

The emulator is the same as GGPO, the matchmaking client and server are new.

They can’t do much about until someone develops new netcode that perform as well as GGPO.

seems slightly better than GGPO but it could be in my head. played a guy from Japan and even though there was some lag, i’ve encountered much worse in OE from people in Canada and the east coast.

also, anybody know how to get FBA to run at 60 fps? i changed the theme to Windows 7 Basic, tried fullscreen mode, but nothing seems to fix it. it seems slightly choppy for some reason.

I wonder if pof can fix issues like black lines, Iron Galaxy did it with OE after all.

Ive always had the same issue with choppiness, I just got used to it but would love any suggestions.

I know this is not a FightCade forum to post my issue but I have the FightCade client version 0.39 for Windows and since four days ago I cannot play online. I didn’t change anything on files and my HDD is free of virus, etc. I checked the firewall ports and my GGPO ports(TCP 7000 and UDP 6000-6009) are opened. I tried to restore to default settings of Win Firewall but the same thing happens: I can challenge or accept a match but when the game starts, the screen is blank. If @pof or somebody here can help me to anything, I’ll be grateful.

And @pof,
I dunno if this is in your plans but it would be interesting to create a FightCade forum to report our issues and everything related to the FightCade more clearly than in Twitter. Did you think about this?

Thanks.

do you have the 3 .exes in your fightcade folder: Fightcade, ggpofba, ggpofba-ng?

@free_man‌

I had the same problem when I first tried fightcade, and what happened was my anti-virus would recognize ggpofba-ng as a virus during installation so I had to create an exception for it. Fightcade can install without ggpofba-ng, but you can’t connect to people or watch matches. When I first installed fightcade I probably just dismissed any other pop-ups during installation not thinking it could affect the connectivity.

I’m using old hardware and its choppy as hell when playing online. I even tried setting smoothing to 3 and playing players from my country and got the same results.Super turbo runs fine but there is no comparison between 3s on ggpo and fightcade. On ggpo there were no such issues, fightcade has a better lobby and interface though.

Yes. I have those three .exe files and my anti-virus never recognized any files related to the FightCade as a virus.

Edited: I’ve downloaded(again) of the FightCade(0.39), I’ve configured the video(ggpofba.exe) and then I started the FightCade.exe. Now I can challenge, accept, watch the matches and replays.

Anybody else feel like the overall level on Fightcade is much lower than GGPO when playing randoms? When GGPO was around, I was lucky if I could beat people but over the past 2 days I’ve been playing a lot on Fightcade and I’m on a 127 game win streak against like 10 different people. I would never even come close to such a number on GGPO. I guess it’s sort of good in a way since newer people are joining in, maybe because of the Coop Cup hype?

Well

GGPO = Karnov’s Revenge secret room = only the most interested will find and join = usually stronger players
FightCade = regular 3s room = anyone can join and play = more lower level players = average dips lower

I think that outside a few strong players on each, every platform (ggpo/fightcade/xbl/psn) has a relatively low level of competition.

I was in Japan from mid November till mid January. Why and how would I play on fightcade? Lmao

also I tried signing up for it out of curiosity to see what it looked like today and someone registered with my name already. It’s fine since I don’t want to play online but weird if someone’s inpostering me.

What are the best video settings for a 1080p monitor, with a decent graphics card?

I dunno if this is the best config but this is my current video settings:

Select blitter->Enhanced (Direct3D 7)
Blitter options->(marked only)Advanced settings->Force 16-bit emulation and Use DirectX texture management
Stretch->Correct aspect ratio
Gamma correction settings->Use video hardware exclusively
Monitor properties->Widescreen CRT aspect ratio(16:9)
Rotate vertically aligned games, Force 60Hz refresh rate and Preview blitter options marked.
Other video settings are disabled.

Cool man thanks, will try them out. I loaded up ST the other day and the shit was choppy as hell for now apparent reason.

Anyone have trouble getting their stick to work? I have a HORI VX-SA Kai and it’s been plug and play to work with every other game I’ve had. Tell me I don’t need a 3rd party program to get my stick to work = (

If it worked on GGPO it should work on Fightcade. In fact, if it works on the Windows Game Controller Properties thingy then it should work anyway (considering you’re using windows).

Just wanted to add that Pof added a fix that prevents dudes from opening multiple spectator windows trying to lag out your match. So, no more ZZTop situations there.
