Thanks, is this for use in Teknoparrot or is it standalone please?

Standalone

Standalone

Why is there a tree structure of folders and files from the TP version if it is "Standalone"?

[hippopippo]

I compile every build for stand & tp so three config is by default for tp, just change path where you have roms folder and save. This is standalone. 

[3nigm4]

I had a "mikmak" between my versions, I thought I moved my version against yours and in fact it was the opposite, 
in the arcade.def of bg3 you put the zip in .003 instead of .002 if anyone ever asks why Play! can't find the bin in the archive 
you will have to rename one or the other, 
when will there be a TP version, I prefer "Standalone" ;)

[hippopippo]

There is no real rule for managing arcadedefs, as everyone can customize the name of the roms & dongles (usually .bin) as they like, but in this case I specifically chose to name it .003 to differentiate the USA dongle (the version used to do all test) from the Jap (.002)

Where can i find the USA dongle for this game?

[hippopippo]

look on archive, there are many 2x6 folders with clean raw images & dongles

Chdman-240 i used.

 

using Ultra ISO allowed me to Convert Both CHDs to Bin & Cue 

 

soulclb2.arcadedef 208 B · 38 downloads  Fixed Arcadedef 

 

.chd to .iso if u have done it right it should mount to your pc like any other iso

Extract CHD to GDI.zip the batch files i used to convert 

 

for /r %%i in (*.chd) do chdman extractraw -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.iso" <- CHD to ISO "delete .chds" after converting them to ISO's because ull be making new ones with the .cue files when using "Ultra ISO"

 

for /r %%i in (*.cue, *.gdi, *.iso) do chdman createcd -i "%%i" -o "%%~ni.chd" <- Cue To CHD

 

you will need both here is the screen of what it should look like 

the .chd's you see in this picture was .cue to .chd also the .bin file is the file u get after converting the iso to bin to cue using Ultra ISO | you will get the "2nd set of .chd's" after converting the .cue's with chdman | you will have to do it twice 

 

you will need the rom and place the dongle.bin inside the rom zip

 

you will know if u did it right lol. i got a black screen for a few days and i finally had the time to sit and read everything 

with peoples help. and this is what i got. the game is about 13 or so gigs. also look at the links those are some of what i got working. 

above.

i was way too into this lol

Hello.

I tried battle gear 3 tuned, works but controls are crazy, in the menu impossible to choose car or tracks the game chose automatically,  and in game accelerate is on the right stick pushing right direction, but it accelerate a little bit then stop it

[RetrnArcGamer35]

battle gear 3 tuned works thanks alot! and i was able to get some of the controls to work but things are good here thanks!

[hippopippo]

With recent developments, the emulator's evolution is experiencing a strong push in various directions, but due to the nature of the changes and progress in Battle Gear 3 emulation, it's best to work on different branches to prevent fixes for one game from corrupting the functionality of other games. Therefore, for now, I recommend having two versions of Play! :

 

(Play 0.71-1.2) exclusively for emulating the Battle Gear 3 series

(Play 0.71-1.1) for all remaining games 

 

This was already done once for Builds 246, 256, 147, and 148, so there's nothing difficult or problematic. Hoping to have a single branch, tested and verified with all games, I believe this is the best solution.

 

Example :

 

[mokonamk2]

If you're having trouble BG3 getting it to work, calibrating the pedals in test mode should fix the problem.

I having issues with sound, no sound on emulator and says this.

Thanks for make work this great game BG3 and BG3T. I'm having issues in controls in game (using keyboard), after configuring free play in test mode (accessing R3+L3) and mantaining default key assignation in emulator I can not accelerate in race in spite of being in Automatic Mode (speed is between 0 and 10 km/h)
I've removed backuram but calibration only affects to accelerate (T Key) and brake (G Key), calibration detects acceleration fine. In test mode in switch test menu all keys seems to work fine. Please anyone can guide about how to calibrate successfuly controls? Thanks a lot

There are some devices that don't respond even when assigned to the brake pedal of the BG3, 
such as the L trigger on a keyboard or USB controller.

I got it working with analog and bumper button u can see them respond in test menu

[Melchor99]

Please, if possible can someone upload a control working backupram file?.I faced similar issues with Ace Driver 3 and backupram file shared in this thread solved the problem. Thanks
