NJ Arcade Emulators Source Translations

Now that NJ has officially ended production of his arcade emulators and released the sources, I went through the October 20th source package and translated all of the documents and comments. Although all of the various readme's are included here, they have already been translated in bits 'n pieces in other posts, so I don't imagine that this will have much value to anyone who isn't planning on delving into the inner workings of the program. Even then, it's most likely to be of only questionable value. But, just for posterity, here it is. My appologies for the multiple posts, but the information is too large for the single post limit...

************************************************** ***********
Note: any section that appears directly between two rows of astriks like this denotes the path to the file containing the original Japanese that was translated into the lines that follow. ROOT, fairly predictably, refers to the root folder of the unzipped download.

Arcade Emulators For The PSP Source Code (20061015)
NJ (http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psp/)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the source code for CPS1PSP/CPS2PSP/MVSPSP.


- 20061015 -
*Merged CPS2PSP's source code with the source code for CPS1PSP and MVSPSP.
I think that it would be hard to understand what's going on if I combined them too much, so I figured that it would be best to just leave them at this state.
*Following the changes in the formatting of the rominfo files, romcnv has also been updated.
*Since MVSPSP's timer is actually being processed as an int, it doesn't follow a proper clock. This is because when a double/float is used, the FM audio timer calculation causes the operational speed in crsword to drop significantly (for some reason it looks like the interrupts in this game only are extremely high).
*There was just so little reason for it, so I removed AdHoc.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Below is a simple explanation of the source for CPS2PSP.
Basically, the other emulators are the same.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Code used as reference

The basic processing flow (the CPU clock count and memory map, refresh timing, etc...) was created by referencing MAME.

For the sprite drawing order, I referenced a portion of FBA.

However, even porting the above emulators as-is to the PSP, they wouldn't operate at a respectable speed, so the emulators themselves have are entirely new, and take great advantage of the capabilities of the PSP's hardware. Overall, the layout is lacking in "general-purpose-ness", so I don't think that it'll be of much help if you are considering porting it to another machine.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the layout of the cache files

If I made them too complex, then time would be wasted on processing them and the speed would drop, so in reality, I'm not really doing much with them.

romcnv.exe, after reading (the rom) into memory, removes unnecessary data (such as duplicates and empty space), separates the sprite data into easily processed 64KB segments, and after creating the data display flags and processing flags, saves it all to gameName_cache.zip.
A detailed explanation is included with the released source, so I'll leave it at that.

CPS2PSP itself manages the cache data in a list layout, and used items move to the end of the list. Since the least used data is then inevitably at the top of the list, when it becomes necessary to load new data, this top data (the oldest) is deleted, and after the new data is loaded into this emptied space, it is then moved to the tail end of the list. The processing is just a repetition of this.

The reason why the sprite data is divided is that, you can't seek within a zip file, and after having played around with it a bit, I found that the 64KB size resulted in the best performance. If it weren't zip compressed, I think that the speed would drop drastically due to the slow speed of reading it off of the memory stick.

Also, it would probably be difficult to use cache processing as in Neo4All that directly manipulate the MMU. I don't even know if it would be possible with the PSP, but hypothetically, even if it could be done, I don't think that the performance would be that great on account of the slow memory stick transfer speed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About C68K and CZ80

I've greatly rewritten both in a form that would be easy for me to deal with, and they have no compatibility with the original source. If you try to reuse them, beware. I've fixed a bug in a portion of CZ80 (there's a bug in allocation and SBC16).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you could please use the link bellow in the occasion that you fix any bugs or make any improvements, that would help me out a lot. I'm sorry, but please refrain from using it for requests.

CAPCOM CPS1 Emulator for PSP 1.01

NJ (http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psp/)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

<Summary>

This is an CAPCOM CPS1(Capcom Play System) emulator for the PSP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About Compatible ROM Sets

Since this is based on MAME 0.106, the zip file names must exactly match those required of ROM sets for MAME 0.106.

All ROM image files must be compressed in a zip file.
Other than the fact that it can't handle files that cascade into folders, it's basically exactly the same os MAME. Also, ROM sets that are incompatible with MAME are incompatible.

All of the games that are displayed in white in the file browser will run.
If it won't run, then the ROM set is different from the required one. Please make them match MAME 0.106's ROM set by using ClrMame Pro, RomCenter, or some other such tool.

If you absolutely want to run other emulators' or older MAME ROM sets, the you can edit rominfo.dat in notepad, etc..., however, I don't recommend it. If you don't understand the contents of rominfo.dat when looking at then please don't change it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Directory Setting

All of the directories will be automatically created the first time it's launched.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls

-Other than when running a game and the main menu, it's made so that a controls help screen will be displayed by pressing "R Trigger" in any of the menus.
If you don't understand, just go ahead and press "R Trigger".
I think you'll understand when you see it, so I'll omit the details.

-The menu for changing the game settings, etc... is displayed by pressing "START + SELECT" while a game is running.

-In Game Button Controls
It's possible to change the button allocation. I've written the defaults below.

In the conditions below, the button placement will automatically flip/rotate to match the screen, so you don't really need to make a conscious change for them.
-When 2 Player and the Cabinet item in the DIP switch is set to Cocktail
-When the Flip Screen item in the DIP switch is On
-When Rotate Screen is Yes for vertically scrolling games

Special Controls
START + SELECT: Open The Menu
L + R + SELECT: Service Switch (Also possible to allocate to a specific button)
L + R + START: 1P & 2P START (Used in the service menu)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About "Raster Effects"

-There's a "Raster Effects' item in the game setting menu.
With this item you can specify whether the Line Scroll effect used in games like Street Fighter II, etc... is On/Off.
Since the burden of this item on emulation is extremely high (since sprites have to be drawn line-by-line, the draw passes increase several times above normal), it's normally "Off". If the misalignment of BG bothers you, the speed will drop quite a bit but, please change this to "On".

Also, it's made so that the BG is misaligned when "Off", it isn't a bug.
There is no methoud for displaying them normally other than when Raster Effects is "On".

With this inactive, Street Fighter II's screen falls apart and it turns into a rather atrocious state, but there's no real change in Street Fighter Zero, so it's better inactive.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About "Auto Frameskip"

When inactive, naturally the overall speed of the game drop but, if you want to play a stable game, it's better left inactive.

*since 1.0, the default value is Off.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About "Video Sync"

Improved operation in 1.0.
With it active the sound is slightly sacrificed but, screen flickering should improve. You should be better off turning it on for games such as King of Dragons where the character flickers every frame.
Basically, for games with heavy processing please make it inactive.

The recommended settings for Video Sync Yes are as follows.

Raster Effects Off
60fps Speed Limit Off
Sample Rate 11025Hz (It would probably struggle over 22050Hz)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About the handling of bootleg version games

They were tentatively supported until about beta 3, however, they have all been deleted in 1.0. Basically, other than situations where the official game doesn't run due to encryption or other issues, the emulators that I create don't support bootleg versions.
(The reason is simply that I hate bootleg versions.)
I will release the source code in a few days, so if there's a necessity, please add them yourself using MAME, etc.. as reference.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's Changed

1.01

-Fixed a bug with Pang!3 where the state save was not being executed properly
-Merged the source code with CPS2PSP/MVSPSP
-Changed the extension of rominfo.dat and other resource files to .cps1

CAPCOM CPS1 Emulator for PSP 1.02

NJ (http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psp/)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

<Summary>

This is a CAPCOM CPS2(Capcom Play System II) emulator for the PSP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About Compatible ROM Sets

Since this is based on MAME 0.107, the zip file names must exactly match those required of ROM sets for MAME 0.107.

All ROM image files must be compressed in a zip file.
Other than the fact that it can't handle files that cascade into folders, it's basically exactly the same os MAME. Also, ROM sets that are incompatible with MAME are incompatible.

If you absolutely want to run other emulators' or older MAME ROM sets, the you can edit rominfo.dat in notepad, etc..., however, I don't recommend it. If you don't understand the contents of rominfo.dat when looking at then please don't change it.

Games that are displayed in grey in the file browser are encrypted ROMs that haven't been decrypted (there is no XOR table for them), so these will not run. They will not run even if you rename them since the file doesn't exist.
Put plainly, we need to wait until they are compatible with MAME.
Since there are still officially sold CPS2 encrypted games that are waiting to be decrypted, when these become compatible with MAME I plan to add compatibility for them.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating Cache Files

You need to create a graphic data cache for every game. Please create them with the included romcnv.exe. For how to use it, please refer to romcnv.exe's readme.txt.

However, unlike NEOGEO irregardless of the language version the graphic ROM contents are all the same, so it's OK to just create the parent set.
Of course, it also doesn't matter if you create one for each game.

Only ssf2t and it's various different language versions are an exception, so please be forewarned. This game added new characters and BG data to ssf2. Accordingly, while ROM set parent set is ssf2, if you don't create cache for ssf2t, a cache file without the added data will be created.
When creating the cache, place ssf2.zip and ssf2t.zip in the same folder and specify ssf2t.zip when you create it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When inactive, naturally the overall speed of the game drop but, if you want to play a stable game, it's better left inactive.

*since 1.0, the default value is Off.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About Sound

If you inactivate sound, then Q-Sound PCM data won't be loaded.
As a result, the amount of memory usable by cache increases and the cache read cycles decrease. There is not enough memory for the later fighting games so the cache is frequently read and lots of lags occur.
If you want to decrease lags by as much as possible, please inactivate sound.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About eLoader 0.99 TIFF Loader

It won't run without changing eLoader's settings in loader 099.cfg.
If you launch it as-is then it will crash while trying to load the cache file.
*Looking at the crash details, it looks as though a coprocessor exception occurs, but as it's only loading files from a zip file, I don't believe that it would be using the coprocessor.

Normally, loader099.cfg is at ms0:/PSP/eloader/loader099.cfg
Please open it in notepad, etc... and add the following.

As allocatable memory decreases by about 5MB, games with large content aren't playable due to insufficient memory, but since it's protected from freezing, when using the TIFF loader, please make sure to add the above settings to loader099.cfg.

On the other hand, just as it's been up until now, the GTA loader has slightly less memory available than FW1.5 but it should run with no problems. With the settings above the memory will only decrease and is unnecessary.

NEOGEO Emulator for PSP 1.0

NJ (http://neocdz.hp.infoseek.co.jp/psp/)
----------------------------------------------------------------------

<Summary>

This is a NEOGEO (MVS/AES) emulator for the PSP. Since the PSP's memory is just too limited, it's hard to run the larger games, but I think that nearly all games will run.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Directory Setting

All of the directories will be automatically created the first time it's launched.

/PSP/GAME/

| +- ...

-All ROM image files must be compressed in a zip file.
Other than the fact that it can't handle files that cascade into folders, it's basically exactly the same os MAME. Also, ROM sets that are incompatible with MAME are incompatible.

-Please collect the BIOS into a file named neogeo.zip, and place it in the roms folder.

-The zip file name for each game must "exactly match the names of MAME 0.106's rom set names"

-It doesn't matter what the rom file name for each game is, but it "the CRC must match the CRC of MAME 0.106's ROM set"

-Although this is compatible with uni-bios and other hack BIOS, basically their use is not recommended. It's possible that a portion of the games won't run.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Creating Cache Files

If a "Insufficient Memory" error is displayed when loading a ROM, then you must create a graphic data cache.
Please create it with the included romcnv.exe. For how to use it, please refer to romcnv.exe's readme.txt.
Also, when using cache files, unlike CPS2PSP one must be created for every game.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Controls

*The BIOS setting screen is displayed by pressing "L Trigger" while in the file browser. "Definitely set this" before launching a game.

-Other than when running a game and the main menu, it's made so that a controls help screen will be displayed by pressing "R Trigger" in any of the menus.
If you don't understand, just go ahead and press "R Trigger".
I think you'll understand when you see it, so I'll omit the details.

-The menu for changing the game settings, etc... is displayed by pressing "START + SELECT" while a game is running.

-In Game Button Controls
It's possible to change the button allocation. I've written the default settings below.
The button placement is the same as the NEOGEO pad button placement.

Up - Up or Analog Up
Down - Down or Analog Down
Left - Left or Analog Left
Right - Right or Analog Right
Start - Start
Coin - Select
Button A - Cross
Button B - Circle
Button C - Square
Button D - Triangle

Special Controls
START + SELECT: Open The Menu
L + R + SELECT: Service Switch (Also possible to allocate to a specific button)

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About Changing The BIOS Region/Machine Mode

-Although I've made it so that it can be changed in the game settings menu, that doesn't mean that it works completely fine. In later games, there are some where if you change this setting it'll get caught by protection and stop running.
Also, if you attempt to run a MVS game with an AES BIOS, then there are cases where it will similarly get caught by protections and stop running.

-If you want to change them with certainty, then please use uni-bios v1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3/2.0.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About Japanese Resource File

-The included de-compressible file, "resource_jp.zip", is used for a portion of the menus to display Japanese.
Only copy this file to the ngepsp folder if you wish to display Japanese.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
About The Track List For Use With The Sound Test

-The format is as follows.
If you use a Japanese resource file, the track names can also be displayed in Japanese.

$title: Enter the game name to be displayed in the title bar.
$pre: Enter a 2 digit bank 16 base number, etc.. to be added before the playback command. For most games, "07" should be fine.
$stop: Enter a code used to stop playback of the track as a 2 digit 16 base number. I think that for most games, entering "03" for the reset code, and "20" for the stop code should work fine.
$start: Declares the beginning of the track list.
$end: Declares the end of the track list.

The track list should be entered between $start and $end. Please don't enter blank lines or comments. The processing is pretty rough so it'll freeze. The format is, after the 2 digit 16 base number, the track name is written in between to half-width space characters.

Example)
$title=Metal Slug
$pre=00
$stop=03
$start
02 Neo Geo Logo
2b The Military System
...
2c Nazca Logo
$end

Incidentally, a large portion of the included track list was made by referencing Mame E2J's Bridge M1 list.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous

-A memory card file is created for each game. Also, the memory card is in a constantly recognized condition.

-The games below run in MAME, but are unsupported in this emulator.
There are no plans to support them hereafter.

Sprite ROM Conversion Tool ver.6 (For CPS2PSP)

It's pretty half-arsed, but this is a conversion tool.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When converting multiple files at once

1.Please double click romcnv_all.bat to launch it.

2.A dialog prompting you to select a folder will be displayed, so please select your ROM folder.

3.If there's a game that needs to be converted, the conversion process will start. If a file can not be located, it'll be skipped, so please wait until it's all finished.

4.A file with the name of (game name)_cache.zip will be created inside the cache folder, so please copy this to the /PSP/GAMES/cps2psp/cache directory.
Please also copy the original ROM file to /PSP/GAMES/cps2psp/roms.

5.If you launch the game, it'll probably run.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
When converting individually

1.Please double click romcnv.exe to launch it.

2.A dialog prompting you to select a file will be displayed, so please select the the zip file of the game that you'd like to convert.

3.If it's a game that requires conversion, then the conversion process will begin.
Also, if it's a clone set, then the parent ROM set must also be in the same folder.

4.A file with the name of (game name)_cache.zip will be created inside the cache folder, so please copy this to the /PSP/GAMES/cps2psp/cache directory.
Please also copy the original ROM file to /PSP/GAMES/cps2psp/roms.

5.If you launch the game, it'll probably run.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the above don't go as expected

1.Please drag and drop the zip file of the game you'd like to convert on romcnv.exe.

3.If it's a game that requires conversion, then the conversion process will begin.
Also, if it's a clone set, then the parent ROM set must also be in the same folder.

4.A file with the name of (game name)_cache.zip will be created inside the cache folder, so please copy this to the /PSP/GAMES/cps2psp/cache directory.
Please also copy the original ROM file to /PSP/GAMES/cps2psp/roms.

5.If you launch the game, it'll probably run.

Update History

- For MVSPSP ver.5 -
Updated to reflect the change of rominfo's formatting


************************************************** *********************
ROOT -> romcnv -> source.txt
************************************************** *********************
This uses Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0. It should probably compile with versions other than 6.0 by fixing the makefile. It would probably also require source rewrites for GCC.
(I'm sorry, but I don't use GCC for anything other than PSP application creation.)

I hadn't planned on releasing the source, so there isn't even a single comment.
I don't think a GUI is necessary so I haven't made one.
This uses GNU MAKE

It's written in a pretty tenuous manner, I don't think you'll be able to figure out what's going on, but I have no intention to spend all my time on this, so forgive me.

zip32j.dll is used for the zip compression.
Please do something about this when porting outside of Windows.

This is going to be very handy for me with my wifi mod for MVSPSP (and possibly cps1/2)

I could really do with getting in touch with NJ. There's something about an upload link on his site.. can you translate that for me please?

Mike: Thanks for working on the multiplayer! I don't even know anyone else with a PSP, so I would almost certainly never get to use it, but (as with many homebrew related things) it would deffinitely be cool to know that it was possible should the situation ever arise.

I don't know if you were following the front page CPS1/2 posts (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...d.php?t=35782), but NJ did give multiplayer a shot and I documented the reports from his webpage in those postings. I don't know how much use they would be to you, but in the end NJ did hit what he determined to be a brick wall with wireless multiplayer, so I thought I'd mention them in case you hadn't yet read them. To (possibly) keep you from going through the same process just to end up reaching the same conclusion.

As for the upload link that you refered to, I think this is what you were talking about, right?

In which case, that was in the very first block of information in the very first post.

I contacted NJ a few months ago to ask him for the source code for the cache converter, and even though he denied the request (at that time), he did send me a very thorough explanation of the essential code, and he has been very cordial every time I've talked to him, so if you need to contact him I'd be glad to help. It's pretty obvious that he's had enough of the emulators situation (for the time being, anyway), so you might want to hold off contacting him until you've reached a point where you absolutely have to, but, ultimately just let me know if you need me to pass on any messages and I'd be glad to help.

wow that must have taken some hard work, b8a....thanks a bunch ^_^

i find this very interesting....

About the handling of bootleg version games

They were tentatively supported until about beta 3, however, they have all been deleted in 1.0. Basically, other than situations where the official game doesn't run due to encryption or other issues, the emulators that I create don't support bootleg versions.
(The reason is simply that I hate bootleg versions.)
I will release the source code in a few days, so if there's a necessity, please add them yourself using MAME, etc.. as reference.
