ST runs like crap on W7 anyways so it wouldn’t make any difference switching over. Until I buy another PC with XP or a console, it’s GGPO for now…
FBA runs terrible on Windows 7.
Supercade stopped working on my computer as it now demands some .NET framework full or some version that I simply can not find in Windows Update Website.
FBA runs terrible on YOUR windows 7. Many people use Supercade and GGPO on Win7 with no problems, including myself.
oldschool_BR, install .net 4 from the link on the Supercade install page.
I have no problem on W7.
Supercade just needs to add MK3 and UMK3 using mame and it would be godlike.
Make that shit happen damdai.
GGPO also does this annoying shit where I lose connection instantly as soon as I log in. I have to close and reopen ggpo. A lot of times it happens like 4 times in a row. I know it’s minor but it’s kinda frustrating, I hope we all can jump on supercade soon.
Anyone else get this?
How do I change the rom path in supercade? I tried editing <USER>/Appdata/Supercade/Config/SupercadeEmulator.ini
but it keeps reverting back to my original settings. Tried deleting the ini and it errors saying it can’t find it.
There’s no reason to manually change rom path as it will ask you to reselect rom folder whenever it can’t find the roms it needs.
See, Damdai makes shit mad simple. Now how about that Killer Instinct lol
Good points stated in that thread (beside “mars=troll” wtf?!) : I think the community feeling has a lot to do in ggpo’s success. Possibility to spectate / chat with st freaks only is a lot entertaining. In an other way, if spectating causes lag, then supercade must not include it. A try would be nice imo, though ; because this would definitely bury this debate.
Ggpo is still a great program, and it has allowed hundreds of players to keep ST alive. But what is this all about ? Does saying ggpo will be certainly outdated and supercade will be the future of online arcade gaming means we don’t respect Ponder ? Would Ponder really be hurt over that, seriously ?
I think everyone has to enjoy what Damdai is doing for the community, creating / updating supercade consistently. No place to argue there, just to enjoy playing games.
I can run some heavy soft like Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2 and Adobe Master Collection CS5 without any problems.
My computer is an Intel i7, 4gb ram DD3, up to 16bg ram and my windows 7 is the 64 bit version, i don’t think my pc is the problem, I had to make some tweaks to Windows 7 in order to smooth input lag.
Great UI, great gameplay, great network connection. Really nice how it just works out of the box without additonal installs. Great job damdai!
Seems to be a flaw then, the rom path I selected has a different VERSION of roms, so whenever it tries to load the game it fails, and I can’t set it to a different path =/, adding a 2nd path in the ini also does nothing.
Is there a way to make supercade disable desktop composition when a game is launched? Seeing as aero adds input lag and dropped frames.
+1 on adding MK’s and KI :D.
You could throw 2 batch files on your desktop:
Run this when you wanna play supercade, it will disable aero and then launch supercade:
net stop uxsms
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\Supercade.appref-ms
Then make another batch file:
net start uxsms
And run that when you’ve finished playing supercade.
Damdai could implement it easily, he’d just have to run that command during the MyBase.Load event (since the important part is having aero off before, supercadeemulator.exe starts, the client doesn’t matter) and just write a function that handles the exit event to execute the net start before it finishes.
For example, you could just do this during the main form loading (not sure if you’re using vb.net or C#, most likely C# but I’ll put both:
private void main_form_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Psuedo if statement here to check if configuration file has user wanting to disable Aero
System.Diagnostics.Process newprocess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
newprocess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
newprocess.StartInfo.FileName = "net";
newprocess.StartInfo.Arguments = "stop uxsms";
newprocess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
//MessageBox.show("Disabling Aero");
newprocess.Start();
newprocess.WaitForExit();
}
Private Sub main_form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Psuedo if statement here to check if configuration file has user wanting to disable Aero
Dim newprocess As New System.Diagnostics.Process()
newprocess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
newprocess.StartInfo.FileName = "net"
newprocess.StartInfo.Arguments = "stop uxsms"
newprocess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
'messagebox.show("Disabling Aero")
newprocess.Start()
newprocess.WaitForExit()
End Sub
Would probably be ideal to just do this before launching the emulator, rather than the client, then when the client detects the emulator is closed to turn aero back on. Just be sure to write event handlers to execute turning aero back on incase of a crash.
The problem that I have with GGPO and Supercade, is that the reversal timing feels completely different. I rarely get reversals on Supercade.
I dont know if its the speed settings.
(Which btw no one can give me a straight up answer, what the speed setting is supposed to be on for US Arcade ST. Some ppl like ultracombo say its speed 0, others on GGPO say its speed 1, and supercade just defaults it at speed 2.)
Or if its the way the netcode runs.
Or its just my execution.
But other than that im liking supercade a lot. Not too many ppl play it compared to GGPO, but i like how it gets updated all the time even though I have no idea what the updates are lol. Supercade is def the future of online 2D fighting games.
I had no idea the ST board was this sensitive; hence it’s entertaining to read.
You can always change it on supercade, speed 2 is OK imo on supercade but I think it’s still a bit too fast. As for GGPO, Turbo 0 is definitely the ideal speed, I think T1 is OK if you’re playing someone local or with a low ping.
Thanks man now supercade will be a lot better for me.
