Topic: FB Alpha v0.2.95.23 released

[iq_132]

What's New?
-----------

v0.2.95.23

This is still an alpha release!

Note that, if compiled with GCC, you will need to use version 3.3.x, and
the experimental DirectX 9 blitter is not built.

- Changed the way FB Alpha looks for ROMs. Now, it will always check the last
path for any given .zip file, even when a .zip file of the same name is
present in another path. This way, we can keep ROMs that are only needed
for FB Alpha seperate without sacrifising compatibility with other emulators;
- Changed the way Neo Geo memory cards work, allowing the use of 1 megabit
cards;
- Emulated protection in Super Sidekicks (was patched before);
- Fixed the last few bad game names / bad ROM definitions;
- Fixed a few minor issues in the makefile for mingw/cygwin;
- The debugger is now only compiled for debug builds;
- Minor updates to compile documentation;
- Fixed a crash at startup for some systems when autopause was activated

Edit the file so the time is fixed Also it seems that ECHO is your problem


I use a bat file which goes in the FBA folder

@echo off
set PATH=C:\MinGW6\bin;%PATH%
echo Compile in progress Please wait !
make
pause

[PRican25]

well the time prob is fixed (just opened both make files with notepad and saved) but still have this error: The syntax of the command is incorrect.

and when i tried your bat, all it says is: Compile in progress Please wait ! about 90 times and then ends saying: The input line is too long.

I've compiled with 3.1 without problems here is there a possibility that my compilation have some bugs thanks to this, even with a generated .exe?

I think you need to check your Environment variables .

[PRican25]

under Environment variables, in system variables i made MINGDIR and value is C:\MinGW

then i edited path to add: ;%MINGDIR%\bin

[James33]

under Environment variables, in system variables i made MINGDIR and value is C:\MinGW

then i edited path to add: ;%MINGDIR%\bin

Remove all that (Mingw) and use the bat  ...
Back up what you have removed
But why is it in the system though
 I have nothing for mingw there at all If I did add anything it would in the user. anyway just remove all that and try the bat .


Here is an example of where the bat file is placed

[PRican25]

reason why its in the system is cuz thats the way i had it before when using the old fba and it worked fine when i had it.

just tried it your way and same result of it repeating Compile in progress Please wait ! about 90 times and then ends saying: The input line is too long

[James33]

Without a doubt you are doing something wrong  .

I used IQ's trimmed mingw (thats why it is called MINGW6) and the source. and I removed anything that was in the Environment variables for mingw

I compile Mame and FBA (Old and New source) with that type of bat file with no problems There is no need to set anything up in the Environment variables.

[PRican25]

don't know what could be wrong, i'm using the trimmed mingw and the latest fba source. i did also install active perl and added nasm/nasmw to my system32 so i have no idea what i'm missing or doing wrong.

adding it thru Environment variables just makes it easy so you can just go to any dir where the source is when using the command window and just type make, doesn't hurt the process at all and i've been doing it that way ever since i started compiling fba.

EDIT: i was lucky enough to have found a copy of my old mingw so added it and then used the trimmed one iq_132 did and let it overwrite flies in that old mingw and right now its finally compiling fba

i guess something was missing in the trimmed version and also i added back the Environment variables of mingw.

btw, that bat still doesn't work for me even after doing this

[James33]

I know there is nothing missing from the the trimmed Mingw  .As I used a clean directory for it . The bat is the same you can use it any directory that the source is in So there is no need to set up the Environment variables at all  All I do is double clcik on the bat and it starts to compile .

[KingHanco]

Here is my errors.

I told Jan about this and he said those files aren't missing in the fba_src_029523. What do I need to download to fixs this errors? He gave me the link - http://www.mingw.org/download.shtml but I have no idea of the GCC he is talking about to download. There like over 10 files to download and don't know what he want me to download. He doesn't making any since to me.

This is my path - F:\MinGW\fba same as before.

Edit: Wrong screenshot. Sorry.

[Badablek]

This happens when you do NOT use the correct version of Mingw......like the one you used for version .98

Shoometsu said:

I've tried a compilation with mingw 3.2.0 rc3 and had a lot of problems, the old 3.1.0-1 works fine here...

my packages:

nasm-0.98.38-win32
upx125w
UnxUtils
w32api-3.1
zlib114-mingw
MinGW-3.1.0-1
ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208

besides a lot of warnings I´ve got the binary hehe XD

This is exactly what I used and everything works very well (and the new mini Mingw package of IQ works fine too ^^)
