WHATS NEW IN VERSION 1.2 ------------------------ Additions Added Multislot support to the Jukebox Player and Gamecart CRC check. Added the ability to continue on from a hardware error. Allowed Test Mode button to give access to TEST mode menu while in console mode. Cheats for MATRIMELEE added to the cheats database. Test mode improvements Time added to main test mode menu screen (date format changes from euro to usa region). Crosshatch test shrunk to match fullscreen used by most games. Full color fade bars in color test (why the original BIOS never did this is beyond me). Setting up the code number will now be in English even when set to Japan region. Soft DIP settings will always be in English even if set to Japan region. (Soft DIPs shown will always be from Euro region, this means some settings will not work unless system set to EURO region, like the language soft DIP for example). Changes Disabling the hardware test (general bios settings) now disables the Z80 test also. Visually improved the gamecart crc check screen making it better. Games that use the protected banking system no longer calculate the crc32 for those banks, instead it is indicated that they are custom. Doing a 'WORK RAM TEST' (all hard dips on at power on) no longer clears region settings. Updated CRC32 database although there could still be errors. Fixes Fixed a lockup if entering the Memory Card Manager or Test Mode from the splash screen when running in console mode with hard DIP 8 (stop) on. Fixed 'unlock Kyo & Iori' kof99 cheat (no longer jumps to character select after win). Fixed distorted music in Jukebox Player with games ROTD, KOF2002 and MATRIMELEE. Fixed REALBOUT2, KOF98, NEOCUP98 and BREAKREV reset on the 'winners dont use drugs' screen on multislot Hardware. --------------------------------------------------------------------- WHATS NEW IN VERSION 1.1 ------------------------ Additions Added support for the correct USA BIOS coin inputing when in USA arcade mode. This allows for seperate coin input for player 1 and 2. The ability to use 4 coin inputs (turned on via hard dip 1). The ability to start a 1 player game on players 2 side. Added support for VS-MODE in Euro and Japan region for games that use it (fighters). This mode is enabled by simply turning on hard dip 2, when enabled games use a coin inserting like USA as mentioned above. I have also patched test mode so the setting shows in the hard dips menu. VS-MODE may do more also ingame but I am not sure. Program ROM crc checking This option allows you to confirm your program roms are not bad. NOTE, not all crc's are yet in the database so many roms may give a '??' or 'NG' error when they are correct. If you get either of these messages please email me with the details. In game menu system Access to debug dips (now removed from the main menu). Hardware reset option. The debug dip cursor now wraps from left to right / right to left. MVS hardware type is now displayed in bottom right corner of the main menu. Changed button detection which should make selecting regions on some machines easier. When in Euro or Japan mode I have made coin shoot2 '1coin 1credit' by default. Cheats/Debug DIPs Fixed a possible crash/lockup situation when accessing the cheat engine. Fixed some typos and incorrect cheat descriptions in the cheats engine. Added more cheats to the cheat engine database. Cheats that use debug dips now clear the dip/s they set when that cheat is disabled. (dips set by cheats show on debug screen by hilighting dip number) (dips are not cleared if it is also set in the debug dip settings) Blazing star no longer resets when exiting from the in game menu in console mode. (The reset was programmed by game design) Jukebox Fixed an issue that could cause an lockup when entering the jukebox. Added an error message if for some reason the sound dosent initilize. The initial sound used when entering the jukebox will now be a valid one. Fixed all games that played double samples at the beginning of tune. Fixed a issue that caused sound effects not to play in 'Nightmare in the Dark'. Fixed a issue that caused 'Puzzle Bobble 2' music not to play. Visual The splash screen now fades in and out. Changed the effect used when deleting menu screens a little. Made the in game menus background color a little darker. Fixed an issue with font colors when game in slot1 is 'Fatal Fury III'. Fixed small red lines in splash screen and main menu when using certain games. Fixed NeoGeo logo not showing on splash screen and main menus on 4/6slot hardware. Fixed NeoGeo logo on 2slot hardware if NAM1975 or PBOBBLE2 was the first game. Misc Fixed possible crash on 'Winners Dont use Drugs' if debug dips used on a multislot. Fixed possible crash when exiting debug dips settings on a multislot system. Fixed Hard DIP 8 not forcing pause in console mode. --------------------------------------------------------------------- WHATS NEW IN VERSION 1.0 ------------------------ Initial release
