VirtuaTK

Very Strange. I played this game before no issue. Now when I launch it says I/O error for guns and doesn't detect my sinden. No buttons nothing.

I changed nothing since previously playing. Had an error with my AHK script for sinden in launchbox but I fixed that and still get error. Works for other games so not the sinden.

I could try to remove game and add again. Is this likely to change anything though?

Fixed it. Had a backup of game replaced that and removed then added back game to TP.

Wow! I personally would love a link to your working Alpine Racer running with ArcCabView if you could link it here some time. Would be great as I never got it to boot properly ❤️

It's one that needs to be in C:/rawart

I have a few there and they can be numbered. Rawart 3 is mine for eg..

Sorry for late reply been away from site. The tinkering takes it's toll.

Super Alpine Racer I dont think is playable..? I had it starting up once, would love if anyone could post a working ArcCabView version of the game.

Here's my Sonic Dash Extreme with ArcCabView, just start it with the ahk file "\Sonic Dash Extreme\exe\Sonic Dash Extreme.ahk" Im running it stand-alone with JConfig

I'm very fussy when it comes to aspect ratio. I sold my UK Super Nintendo back in the day and imported a US one. Anything thats a circle looks off in this game like that. I corrected it somehow but it was a while ago so not sure how now. I think I got Alpine racer working too then needed a break from all the tinkering.

Phew this was hell.

So I got SDE without Jconfig from VM. Got the latest Jconfig from jconfig universe. No need for patch for 60fps as it has option now.

I used Arccabview general and ran setup.

I then edited and put "2048" instead of "256" in the dgVoodoo.conf file.

Other combinations of files will not work!

As a preference I removed all borders/overlay. At one point the screen rotated on it's own. lol I nearly cried. Drop down menu options will rotate it back.

Another preference was to change screen ratio.  It looks squished to me by default. Setting 9:16 instead of 3:4 the circles onscreen look correct but looking at cab pictures screen looks too thin. I changed to 10:16 and it looks about bang on. Never played it in real life mind you.

My vendetta with this one is over.

@VirtuaTKdgVoodoo DirectX VRam default is too low for this game.

Put "2048" instead of "256" in the dgVoodoo.conf file of this game and it won't crash anymore

 

Fresh copy tried Arccabview default. Didn't give me a drop down list to choose from. Failed.

Tried the Arccabview files from VM and the VRAM is already set to 2048. Loads then crashes.

Thanks but not helped.

I might have missed something so will go over it all again. This game is a nightmare.

Damn what a nightmare. Glad you're rebuilding.

Puts my annoying issues with some portrait games with geommod/arccabview into perspective.

Any ideas please I have tried both Super Alpine Racer which has Geomod and Sonic dash extreme with Arccabview?

Both games boot but then Crash when trying to start a game.

Damn what happened to people being helpful on here?

You can try to activate the win XP (SP3) compatibility.

I have done that on my computer.

And it works.

Thanks for info video now plays.

Many of the downloads links nolonger work at https://jconfig-universe.fandom.com/wiki/JConfig_Universe_Wiki

Whats up with that?

Many are probably available on Virus-Man site but it's slower for me to get them.

um so i got hacked about a week ago long story short lost channel, lost al my pc settings etc. well now i can play mame Hlsl settings not working, i installed directX 9 in a folder

This sounds very nasty indeed. Was it easy to be infected?

I have gotten arccabview working with SDE via Jconfig. I turned all the bezels off and even got rid of the dgVoodoo logo. Somehow it now looks the right ratio. Dpad looks like a circle on screen. Now after the attract mode cycles it crashes.

Lol I can't seem to win with this game.

It says a few textures are missing in the reshade menu but I don't think it would cause this.

Edit Crashes when pressing start too.

I tried another sample with all setting setup the way it wants. It still crashes

So I had a nice setup via Karis thread and I'm totally lost looking at this one. Really don't wanna spend days upgrading. Nice work though.

I hope a download list becomes available at some point.

Has anyone found a fix for the HUD in After Burner Climax it is stuck in the top left of the screen in 640 x 480 otherwise I love how far this has come and appreciate the hard work. https://ibb.co/Gs4kb9C

No this happens with a lot of games so I leave games native and add scanlines when possible with reshade if low res. I don't think its possible on linux games though. I don't bother with this version purely because of missing shadows. Play it on RPCS3 instead.

Did they ever improve Virtua Striker? It's one of the worst football games ever for playability. I would take Kick and Run over the ones I played on supermodel.

Perhaps for nostalgia and preservation it would be nice getting them running though.

First time trying this could someone help please. I set exe to SonicDash_R_Ring. Launcher to TP exe. Command to --profile=SonicDashExtreme.xml

Says unknown game so I choose it from list. It loads then Arccabview.exe says Error! sorry there is something wrong.

Please check Arccabview.ini and your game settings.

Could it be anymore cryptic!

If not anyone know how to fix the screen from being on one side with part of screen missing. I tried borderless gaming but no good.

how do i get aspect ratio to work my screen is in a box mode i want the screen full retangle or whatever it is called and in 1920x1080

Parts of the screen will either be missing or stretched if the ratio is changed. Some full wide games exist though I think

Hi Karis I hope you are well.

If the standard Space Pirates is removed. It causes the menu to crash when scrolling through all the games.

I found the games.dat file for the HD version was pointing to the standard version.

Easy fix but thought I would point it out as I was very confused to what was wrong for a while.

Saved me having to re download everything to try and fix it.

One question though do you know if the HD versions of Mad Dog for example are the same screen ratio as originals?

The 4:3 sinden border cuts a little off the side of the screen that's why I ask.

This has old supermodel version but it's easy to update.

Supermodel assistant still works after being updated to SVN r876

Just be sure to backup your config and nvram folders.

Then paste them back in after updating.

Oh, because it is no longer on a tracker site there are no ratios anymore. You can seed, and should... but you don't have to if you don't have room or need to move to a different drive. 

That put me off joining PD as I didn't want to keep leaving PC on overnight.

I've gone all in now. Had an issue where I had set option for incomplete downloads to stay in another folder. This was stopping me adding it to the actually used set.

So whenever a new set comes out I can share when I update now.

I went for the merged set does this have a significant down side?

Agree the waste of storage space is indeed a time saver in the long run.

Yeah I thought so just want to know for when I might switch set.

Will the folder being named different be a problem?

 Anyone know of a decent program to remove the junk?

It's no big deal but would be good. I can keep the full set on another drive for seeding.

Yes.. this is pleasuredome's new way of handling mame and hbmame.

Good to know.

When they say point it to an older set would this be the set location option on qbittorrent?

Do you think this will be a reliable source moving forward?

I have a set with most of the "Junk" removed but this might be less hassle to update.

Will see how it goes before I totally switch over to full version. Will help seed when I can for the time being though.

Another option is the CRT geom mod for reshade as it has a 90 degree flip setting.

Personally not a fan of the actual CRT filter but others can be used instead.

You are much better going to the Pleasuredome tracker for Mame roms https://www.pleasuredome.org.uk guys, you need to join but it is free and is just the one torrent file rather than multiple rars, if you want to update you set, just download the full set to the same directory, giving the folder your zipped roms are in the same name as the one you are downloading and it will check your roms so that you only download what is needed, it is also always up to date, lots of seeders too so fast downloads.

This is a neat idea for standalone that I wish I had thought of before.  I'm using Retroach though plus I trimmed the junk files so only need to track a couple of actual working updated roms.
