Bakasama Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 (edited) I'm still around. Current author of MisfitMAME, eh? I suppose you could help me with some coding. I'm trying to code a version of MisfitMAME for Mac OS X. Graphic hacks aren't a problem, it's just I ran into some problems with trying to make the many of the hi score hacks and the some of the Pac-Man hacks work with an older version of MacMAME.

Robbbert Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Why are you using MacMame? That's rather dated... why don't use start with SDLMAME instead? http://www.parodius.com/~roni/sdlmame/ That's assuming the OS is the same... I know stuff-all about Macs. What version is your MacMame? And what problems are you having? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Why are you using MacMame?

And what problems are you having? The reason is just I just like the interface MacMAME a lot better than the SDLMAME. I NEVER understood how interface on that one works. I'm more of a visual person. I got lost trying compile SDLMAME. The other reason is for some odd reason, I can't compile a version of MAME OS X beyond 115 or so. The SRC folder for MAMEs of the same version number and for different OSes are identical. Adding hacked games is all done in the SRC folder All the stuff I do is just changing the drivers files in the driver folder and driver.c. I never touch the Mac only part of MacMAME code unless I want to change the icon. The version I'm using is 103u2 the last version of MacMAME. I've mainly problems with hacked games that need specialized hardware to word properly. Those are mostly adding the NVRAM to make the high score save hacks work properly. Making Mulipac and SuperABC work is another problem I've been having. I made Mulipac work on an earlier version MacMAME but I'm having trouble trying to adapt the code to 103u2.

Robbbert Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I have MAME 0.103, which should be close enough. For the nvram games, I assume you've already added the ROM list and the GAME macro. Now we need to modify both the MACHINE_START and the ADDRESS_MAP_START. So, take a copy of each and give them the name of the new game. Make sure the GAME macro points at the new MACHINE_START. In the MACHINE_START, point the address map to the new one. Also, add some NVRAM, using syntax like this: MDRV_NVRAM_HANDLER(generic_0fill). Lastly, in the ADDRESS_MAP_START, define which area of memory is to be backed up. The syntax looks the same as in my code, just copy/paste. Compile.

Bakasama Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I tried doing that before. Some of the ADDRESS_MAP_START for games like Burger Time confused me because there's two of them (readmem and writemem) I couldn't figure out where to put the AM_RANGE line with (&generic_nvram).

Robbbert Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 In both. You'll notice that my maps are read/write maps, because that is the direction MAME is heading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Bakasama, did you make any headway with this project? Not much actually, real life stuff getting the way and all. I think all the games with graphic hacks will work at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Okay, I've managed to get burger time to work without the NVRAM error crashing but the high score saving doesn't work. At least it's a step up. Managed to get the Time Pilot and Time Pilot '84 high score hacks working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Is there a list of games compatible with MisfitMAME? It'd really be helpful as a reference. I'm trying to find a really elaborate Pac-Man hack I played in a laundromat back in 2001 called Ultimate Pac-Man. It really WAS Ultimate, by the way... it even featured computer rendered artwork, and on 8-bit hardware, no less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Hmm, since this thread is asking for some ROMs. Would anyone happen to know where to defendr2.zip. I've tried looking for that one and I keep getting the NES version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbbert Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Bakasama, you can get all misfitmame roms (one at a time) at retroroms.net (you have to sign up). Or, if you want to torrent the lot, visit the Pleasuredome. As for your non-saving of high scores in Burger Time, did you read the misfitmame faq, particularly question 12 ?

Thanks for retroroms.net link. It really does have what I'm looking for and then some. About, Burger Time high score hack.... F(**% A, I ruined maybe a working code in an attempt to make the NVRAM "work". At least that explains alot. Anyway, Juno First, Crazy Kong, and the Gyruss high score hacks don't seem to work. Most of the the other high score seem to work but for some games I can't get a score high enough to see if the save feature works.

Bakasama Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Actually, I think one of the other posters mentioned one of these sites. I've been there and they do have the ROMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with the retroroms site he mentioned, I've looked through cd and dvd and etc..... and I can't find it, nor any of my mame roms, god I hope I haven't lost it, or my wife disposed of them like my 7800 and stuff cause it'd suck having to re-download that collection, esp since I'm stuck with dial-up.

Bakasama Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 [i've got that ROM from retroroms. I've played Defender II a little bit and it really is a clone of Stargate, like I thought it was. Thanks for trying. I do have a large ZIP file with alot of MAME+ games but most of those are IPS files. I remember what it was like with dial-up, I couldn't get Neo Geo games just because they were too big for dial up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
