Milspex

remake it. 

It was made when 0.4b was current, things have changed in the meantime.

it is confirmed working only on 0.4b like I mentioned

Included in the zip is the entire 0.4b folder, try copying the whole folder and run aurora from there.

Hey all, scoured my old harddrives and found my tate skin. This was made way back in the day for v0.4b so it might need a lot of reworking. Grab it quick.

Yes I've looked and I will install 0.6 tonight. Doesn't look like any rotate options in display though unfortunately

Have there been any additions to the options on the display tab in Aurora since 0.4?

well done!

change your xbox display settings , turn off widescreen. Only found this old pic below, the skin I have now has fixed the text overlaps and shows the video.

I also did a Tate FBANext 640x480 skin, it's one of the first skins I ever made. Prevents neck problems hehe

Instead of just changing everything in the skin to the right dimensions, you also have to change the skin properties to 640x480

Aurora 16:9 Tate skin

Aurora SD Tate Skin

FBANext 16:9 Tate Skin

Both, fullscreen and 640x480.

sounds like that should work. Will test this out.

Only thing left that I would like to see is the ingame menu toggle mapped to different buttons, but thats just me ;-)

Tried it, unfortunately didnt work. Also tried your new core in the existing Retroarch build. The core works but the options don't show either. Weird..

It works in Retroarch 1.0.0.2, but not in your custom builds I believe. I think the first line in the config should list default.xex instead of fba-libretro.xex , since that file doesnt exist, but the config writes it like that. It probably has to do with the core being renamed. I will try this first

Nope , even with the settings set in the config, neo geo games dont boot in unibios, which means the settings dont register. Weird, but it's the only thing I could find so far that wasnt working correctly yet.

Tested it out just now. Works like a charm, just missing the fbalibretro core options. Tried just adding the core options config file but that didn't work so no unibios for now.

# Allows libretro cores to set rotation modes.

# Setting this to false will honor, but ignore this request.

# This is useful for vertically oriented games where one manually rotates the monitor.

# video_allow_rotate = true

I also made a 640x480 SD skin

I made a custom skin and did a lot of adjusting so yes this can be done

That setting defaults to 1 (on)

 

I think I changed the setting in retroarch some time ago and then just copied that value to the new cores config.

yes the controls didnt work after I changed some settings I believe.

Works much better, roms are actually working from aurora. It could just be me, but I think the contrast or brightness is off in all of the cores I tested, which are the ones I sent you roms for. It is brighter then the original systems were.

This is fixed by editing the gamma setting. It defaults to 1 I think, which is greyish, if you change it to 0 it gives you proper contrast/brightness and looks much much better. Or the other way around.

All cores are available here: https://www.sendspace.com/file/mlmk1h

If you decide to use the normal UI (start the xex as-is) you have to disable the option saying to use a different configuration per-core, as otherwise you have no input once you've loaded a rom... (you can bring up the UI again by pressing both sticks, but that's it... you can't move around in it or anything >_<)

Only thing I was missing were the core options in the fbacore, but other than that it was working pretty well.

cool thanks let me test this out

could you send me the fba one?

hey Swizzy did you get round to compiling newer version with working UI?

They've already included/merged the changes (fixes) i've implemented... most of them anyways... i'm making the UI work the way it was supposed to as well thanks to MaesterRowen (my saviour)

It now looks like this when you select games:

And like this when you want to change settings:

cant get anything running on the mame core, but the other cores I tried seem to be working fine. I copied my retroarch.cfg into all the different folders so they are all the same. (Gamma, screen settings etc)

Man this is exciting!

is there a known ftp bug in 0.4b? I'm having trouble transferring files now. 

yes that's a better solution to the problem
