NeoRageX

[mark2]

Hey, Im trying to setup neoragex to play the neogeo roms i have, gameex sees the screenshots an when i click on a game to play it, the neoragex program loads up but not the game, is this the best it can do?

Allso i have capcom games trying to load up thru gameex using the fba emulator, when clicking on a game to start the fba has an error saying the rom is not supported but it plays the roms out of gameex, i have spent over 24 hours trying to setup these properley even searched the forums an still cannot play the roms thru gameex, all mame32 roms work as do the n64 ones.

please help

NeoRageX is just eye candy for me. I'm using a modded version, but it runs crappy on it's best day. Not much you can do there, sorry.

Rage currently doesn't work with GameEx...well at least I haven't came up with any thing thats evenly remotely workable.

How ever you can use Fbe instead of Fba...which will also do NeoGeo games.

linky

You can also look into WinKawaks and Nebula for NeoGeo as well....or just do MAME...as it does Neo as well.

PS 24 hours is way to much time trying to go at it alone before asking for help.

I disapprove of folks that spam the forum on a whim question...but by the same token...I dont like to hear of people beating them selves to death out of fear to ask for help ether.

yeah I personally don't understand the reason to use these other emus for games that MAME runs just fine. I have yet to see any that give me a reason to not use plain ole MAME.

Well from what I gather. Isn't mame goind to chd's for CPS2 games? You could save alot of space by using Winkawaks or FBA.

You can still use an older build of MAME and use the current state of CPS2 games. And have the latest build for you other arcade games. Instead of struggling to get non-MAME emus to run in GameEx I mean.

??Struggling?? I think your painting things with a very wide brush there.

I thought this was only temporary anyways? The CHD thing for Capcom games was a walkaround to the ultimate goal - true emulation. CPS games don't have a hard drive in them to begin with. I thought I read on Aaron's website that these were not mandatory to run the game anyways...

Online play is a pretty important factor for me too. I wonder if it's possible to build a plugin for GameEx so other GameEx users can connect and compete - I know GameEx is already capable of going online and checking for updates as well as posting what you're playing on GameEx Live...

That feature would putr GameEx at the top of the front end list easily.

Gamex Live online play.. mmm.. nice.

So you could enable Gamex Live, it searches for nodes/users with the same game and then it could check to see if that particular game is able to be played across the network/internet.

...and we could have a shout box if people wanted to find others to play a certain game with.

Like a direct line between my GameEx and yours... Ya dig?

Tom did mention an IRC/chatroom type feature for GameEx. So it could very well be in the works soon. Personally I think it's a cool idea. If Tom decides to implement the plugins that allow complete modules like this, I could actually write such a thing for GameEx myself. But their is talk, and this might tie in with the keyboard/search feature too. The actual IRC code for connection etc. is quite easy to implement, it's more about the actual text display and input handling.

Personally, I am really glad GameEx has gone to the plug-in system for features. It seems like in software development that the trend is always from a feature set fixing a problem to a feature set that tries to do everything and gets bloated. All the extras are nice, but some people (me!) just want a few and don't want to download a 50 meg installer to get a game menu with some nice transitions. I like the idea of having the installer give me the option for installing all the fancy features via download. Way to go Tom!
