Topic: Load game from Romdata

[taoenwen]

This loads the game, but the sound is all messed up.
Not sure if I'm missing something.

Please confirm the integrity of ROMs with [type] other than 0.

Just double checked.
The rom works on MAME, but in FBNeo the intro sounds weird, menus have no SFX, characters are mute, there's no BGM and after a while, even footsteps and hits become mute too.

I think I know what you're trying to say, some of the added characters in this hack game use the z80 cpu and sound samples from other versions of kof, and the current fbneo doesn't have an emulation of the extra z80 cpu, so the voices of these added characters are incomplete, and this has nothing to do with the romdata functionality, so please be aware of that.

Ah! that explains it.
Thanks for the info.

Hi, I'm back.

Does anyone know how to add Taito F3 System ROMs to a romdata?

Thanks.

There is a number of specific rom flags used in taito romsets, and they don't seem implemented in the romdata parser. The rom loading code in taito drivers might also need some update.

Long story short i don't think you can use romdata with taito games (yet).

Thanks for the feedback barbudreadmon. I'll be on the lookout for any new implementations. Best regards.

For example: TAITO_68KROM1_BYTESWAP32 / TAITO_68KROM1_BYTESWAP_JUMPING ...

These macros, which are actually numeric values, are converted from this text to numeric values when they are processed within the program.

Let's look at the definitions to see:
#define TAITO_68KROM1         1
#define TAITO_68KROM1_BYTESWAP      2
#define TAITO_68KROM1_BYTESWAP_JUMPING   3
#define TAITO_68KROM1_BYTESWAP32   4
...

So this is all we need to do now
{ "d67-19", 0x080000, 0x1d88fa5a, TAITO_68KROM1_BYTESWAP32 },
change to:
{ "d67-19", 0x080000, 0x1d88fa5a, 0x4},

It's that simple and there's no need for a big Copy and paste this content

romdata was designed with the idea of externalizing the game ROMs information, not creating anything extra.
