Felix Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 I have uploaded my newest project to github.https://github.com/F...ROMGen_v3.01_r4What is it? its the standard romgen.exe by mikej included with the Arcade Blaster application, but with a twist. (source released with mikej's permission)by including the -ini switch on the command line, it is capable of doing some simple bitswaps on the raw ROM data allowing various other games to run on PacMan hardware.Currently I have ini / batch file combinations for the following :jumpshotjumpshotpshoot the bullpac-man plus (currently the only ini uploaded to github)since they are based on the pacman hardware with some simple address lines switched around.other encryption types can easily be supported and the ini files are created by using informationfound in MAME.In the coming days, i will update the git repository with the other ini and bat files, and of courseproper documentation that shows how to use it.maybe at some point, we can get support for the -ini switch added to arcade blaster for native support.This post has been promoted to an article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 added a small fix to allow processing of ROMs bigger than 16KB(not that any exist that we use on the Papilio Arcade, but you never know what the future will bring) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 21 Nov 2012-------------* Removed INI directory* Added .bat files and other support files to the bin_release directory. - Put your ROM files in bin_release/roms/GAMENAME directory. - Click the .bat to load the game - THIS IS UNTESTED AS THE PAPILIO DRIVERS WONT LOAD ON WINDOWS 8 AT THIS TIMESomeone who has windows 7 or below can test to make sure everything works ?If not, I will have to see about dual booting XP or something.
