Tattoo Assassins sound fix

The other day ScOULaris and me did some deep digging and found out the soundroms in Tattoo Assassins
were bad.  It was a sweet adventure: it involved tracing out the schematics, talking with devs of the game(!)
and eventually and it ended up with us getting a redump of the soundroms for the game, which fixes a
boatload of bad sounds.  hooray!  FBN and MAME were updated to use these new soundroms!

best regards,

Tattoo Assassins sound fix

It sounds like you spent more time fixing the game, than the original devs spent making the game itself.
Still, accuracy and preservation are worthwhile goals, so thanks for the hard work.

I tried to start the game "Mystic Warriors" but I could not, I get the following message:


Any idea what might be going on?

The other konami games like; "The Simpsons", "Sunset Riders", "Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa" and others load perfectly.

It works for me. I guess you may not have the right ROM.

It works for me. I guess you may not have the right ROM.

The rom I have has these files inside:


I don't know if it is the correct one or not but it used to work, although I don't know when it stopped working since I keep updating the emulator every time a new build is released.

If it helps at all, the version I use is the win32 version on the window XP operating system.

Well, my ROM looks identical.
The truth lies elsewhere.

In "Select blitter" the game only works with:

Basic (DirectDraw 7) Works
SoftFX (DirectDraw 7) Works
Enhanced (direct3D 7) Does not work
Experimental (directX Graphics 9) Works
DirectX9 Alt (directX Graphics 9) Does not work

In the "blitter" that does not work I get the error that I left in the capture that I left in the other message. I usually play with the DirectX9 Alt (directX Graphics 9) blitter.

Pelucon8,
I've been trying to track down this crash since the_maq reported it.  Unfortunately, I can't make it happen on my side

I was going to see if you'd be able to help by installing a post-mortem debugger (drmingw), but, it stopped supporting winxp quite a long time ago...

I will keep trying to figure out what's wrong here.  Fingers crossed!

If someone here can reproduce this crash on win7+, please install drmingw from here:
https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw/releases

It's simple, just unzip the right version for your processor (32bit/64bit etc), and run from
bin subdirectory:
drmingw -i

grab fbneo exe with debug AND debug symbols here: (yes, its 300meg exe... after unzip)
https://easyupload.io/wd20vk

load mystwarr, when it crashes with "guru exception" dialog, press [Debug] button, instead of [OK]
Save the data in the DrMingw window to a file, and attach it here.

Help even more:
Make the crash happen with each different blitter, and also save & attach the data with the method above.

thanks & best regards,
- dink

Thanks for the reply, dink 

Unfortunately I don't have win7 to test this, but hopefully someone who does can try it.

The funny thing is that it only happens to me with that particular game, the others load fine or the vast majority (I have not tried them all).

Maybe it's a problem with xp or win7 (I don't know about the latter).

I have not seen the thread of "the_maq" and which game gave him the failure.

At the moment the only way I have been able to play "Mystic Warriors" with the blitter that gives me the error is to load the game with a blitter that does not give it to me, that is to say that I load the game with the blitter "Experimental (directX Graphics 9)" and then it changes it to "DirectX9 Alt (directX Graphics 9)", I have passed about three stages in that way (I do not know if it will fall later).

Greetings.

Maybe you could help: can you please attach the files:
config/fbneo*.ini
config/games/mystwarr.ini
config/games/mystwarr.nv
roms/mystwarr.zip

for the files, please send them via PM; use an uploader service,
like https://easyupload.io/
I would like to try them on my side, and see if the crash happens
