Topic: What should I port next? (Archive)

i still dream with System32 games to be on fba (spiderman, goldenAxe Revenge...), maybe later..

[CaptainCPS]

Well there seems to be nice feed over this post so I will post some games I've always wanted to see in FBA, of course I dont know if the CPUs they use are that hard to port ^^U, I just noticed that when guru dumped the games it was so easily added to MAME, but probably there was a driver already done by that time...

http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/vasara2 (2001)
http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/vasara2a (2001)

all of them use this:

CPU:      NEC V60
Sound Chip:      Ensoniq ES5506 (OTTOR2)

and are part of 'Seta, Sammy, Visco (SSV) System' driver (but im only interested in the mentioned 3 of course  ...

http://www.mamedev.org/source/src/mame/drivers/ssv.c.html

BIG EDIT!:

LOL, I forgot about the conditions of suggestions xD haha... "It must be either z80 or m6502-based (or very simple 68k) and use one of the sound cores already in FBA:" , I left my emotions go to far xD ...T___T probably in the future I can play those in FBA.

SeeYaa!

LOL! I'd like to see those drivers added as well, and I would do it myself, but I'm worthless at adding cpu cores.

I've been meaning to ask you about P47: http://www.mameworld.net/maws/romset/p47

Requested to me by my dad, almost daily! (right next to "sound for pacman" lol)

I would love love LOOOVE a System32 driver!

Spiderman
Dragon Ball Z
Golden Axe Revenge
Sonic the Hedgehog Arcade
Sanford & Son
The Jeffersons
and OMFG....Outrunners!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine being able to play these in 2df?

*melts*

IQ, what are the chances at this time, bro?

0%. Read the first post in this thread for the reason why.

Ahh I see.

How about a driver for the following:

Pong
Frogger
Ms.Pac-man
Galaga
Defender
DigDug
Root Beer Tapper
Astroids
Space Invader

SNES games
Sega Genesis games
Sega Master System games
Amiga games
Vetrex
Colleco Vision
Intellevion
Oddessy
5200
ADAM
Speak 'n Spell
Virtua Boy


Are any of these possible in the near term, especially given their low CPU specs?

LOL, you will most probably not see FBA emulating those in the second block, afaik FB Alpha is still an Arcade emulator with some Misc drivers added for fun like Megadrive (Genesis). If it start emulating SNES drivers then it would be something very different from that point, at least for my point of view. It would be interesting but different to the original project objectives.

I think FBA should focus in Arcade type games or systems and the Megadrive as an exclusive, instead thinking of adding other console / portable systems that are non related to arcade in any way.

Btw, 'Ms. Pac-Man' is already in FBA and 'SEGA Genesis = SEGA MegaDrive' afaik

SeeYaa!

Already in FBA.  Have you checked out the game list at all?

Galaga
DigDug
Root Beer Tapper
Astroids

I've looked at adding Galaga & DigDug, but they would have no sound.  I may add them anyway.
As for Tapper and Asteroids, maybe.

Sega Master System games
Amiga games
Colleco Vision
Intellevion
5200

I'm not particularly interested in adding home consoles.

Yeah, I need to get around to doing that. My bad

That'd be cool, man

I'm not particularly interested in adding home consoles.

No problem no problem man, It's no biggie. You've got tremendous gratitude from me for what you've added so far!


So we got Ms. Pac-Man and Genesis? That is great! I'm going to see if I can get Damdai to add some cool Genesis beat'em ups like Streets of Rage and Vigilante to 2df.

Although I'd be lying if I said it wouldn't be cool to have SNES, even though SNES already has a couple fantastic emus(ZSNES & SNES9x). The thing about why I'd love to see them, is because as long as they're in FBA, Damdai could add them to 2df. 2df is picking up steam at an enormous rate! I played Final Fight online today with a guy from Japan, and he told be word of mouth is spreading like wildfire about 2df.  Can you imagine being able to play SNES Contra, Mario Kart, River City Ransom, Mortal II, all the Mario games, Donkey Kong Country, etc in 2df? That would be the shit! Yeah, I know Zbattle and CGA are out there, but they don't work properly half the time, and activity is really dead.

But it's all good guys I know chances are slim but I aint trippin', I'm just thinking aloud(I tend to do that alot). FBA in its current state is nothing short of PHENOMENAL! Keep up the excellent work! :bow: :notworthy: :rock: :slave: :banana:

Hope to increase support in the FBA

Thanks

I've already got a 95% complete driver for that written, I just need to port it to the newest FBA and hook up the analog (spinner) inputs for the other games.  If someone volunteered to do that for me, I'd be happy to let them.

All excellent possibilities. The only thing with the Alpha68k games is one of the sound cores isn't supported, but I think they might be worth a look anyway.

First Thanks IQ_132!!

I do not understand written MAME driver To FBA driver , A guide or tool used in this area I would like to try and learn

I have enough time to learn this

Easiest way to learn is to look at some of the simpler drivers. A good example would be the News driver - that is very simple and comparing d_news.cpp from FBA and news.c from MAME would be a good start for somebody looking to get going.
