FB Alpha Game Info DATs WIP (04/16/2007)

Quote

- All CPS-1 DATs [31] updated/revised for Unicode titles and removed Rominfo tables
- All CPS-2 DATs [40] updated/revised for Unicode titles and removed Rominfo tables
- All Sega DATs [49] updated/revised with new sets, Unicode titles and removed Rominfo tables



Now im gonna start with the 3 systems left to finish with the DATs creation/formating.

Oh, btw, I removed the Rominfo tables because some days back I came to understand what Treble Winner and IQ_132 were recommending me to do, and that is to get the Rom Information from the current FB Alpha drivers modules, and that's what I will be trying to do when I finish with the DATs creation and stuff ^^.

SeeYaa!
:biggrin:

I'm having a problem getting R18 to make fully. I'm getting some errors on some of the sega files.

Can you send me your full source on R18?

FB Alpha Extras WIP (04/18/2007)

Some previews (has been some time since I posted new pics :p)...

Unicode titles added to all necessary game info DATs



ROM(s) Information with ROM Name, Size and CRC32



Edit the Game Info DATs option (it will open the selected game DAT with the default editor)



That last option was in my other WIPs but I forgot to mention it  :p.

Quote

- Removed the 'Reload DAT' button from the game info dialog for final release.
- Rom(s) Information has been added to the Game Info module, now the info is loaded
  from FBA and does'nt have to be in every one of the DATs. [ThanX IQ_132 for helping]

- Added new Game Information module, to use this feature you must right click the game
  you want and a popup menu will be displayed with three options:
   > -------------------------------
   > View Game Information...     -> This will open up the Game Info dialog
   > Edit Game Info DAT...        -> This will open the DAT with your default editor (Ex. MS Word)
   > -------------------------------
   > Play The King of Fighters 2003  -> This will load the selected game :-)
   > -------------------------------
  DAT(s) must be located in 'gameinfo/' directory to be succesfully loaded.
  The current pack of all DATs exclusive for FB Alpha will be released at NeoSource forums (http://neosource.1emu.net/)
  as soon as they're finished.

- Updated FBA Extras, now the src is compatible with the latest official
  release of FBA (v0.2.96.71).



IQ_132 really ThanX for the reference of code you gave me, it helped me to understand how to get Roms Information from FBA ^^

The release time is close, I just have to clean the code and do a revision of it to make sure everything is in place.

SeeYaa!

I mentioned it when I added the feature to FB Alpha Extras, ...you must be sure that flyers are really good, every program may open them but if there is a little thing bad in there FBA will crash, so, how this can be fixed ??...easy..just open the flyers that are crashing FBA with PhotoShop if you have it or other known good image editor, then save it with that editor, you dont have to make changes just save the Flyer into a new location in PNG format and when you finish just bring the new Flyers to the 'flyers/' directory where FBA is located  :smilie:

That should make the Flyers work fine, oh and btw, I posted in this thread a Flyers pack too (They are verified and are exclusive for FBA, so there's no other flyers there wasting hard disk space  :wink:)...

http://neo-source.com/index.php?topic=635.msg5392#msg5392

there are some other flyers in the next page of that one so that's it! ^^

I hope you can get the Flyers to work fine  :smilie:

SeeYaa!

I notice some of the flyers are with the wrong games. Aliens vs Predators flyers must be in the right countries. It not your fault there. Who ever put the flyers together did not recheck those. http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=home or http://www.arcadeflyers.com/?page=packs

Some of your flyers that aren't in their packs yet.

I have finally done the release of FB Alpha Extras R19, this still being the exclusive place for the releases, but now I made a small page for the project in which I will be posting news, wip, and some other cool stuff...

My hompage is updated now and this is where all can find the new FB Alpha Extras R19 binaries, source and other stuff like Game Info DATs and my MinGW package too, there is gonna be available at some point the Flyers pack updated with the latest sega flyers.

I hope you all like it ^^, you can vote on the poll I did too, and comment on the news  :biggrin:

btw, the page is NOT finished, it still being modified with stuff :p so if you see something strange it is because of that.

SeeYaa!

Very impressive looking work Cap! It's amazing the work that you've done with Burner (the FBA interface)!
