Has the sound code been rewritten in SH4/ARM ? and does that mean 24khz sound emulation ?? Anyway, I can't wait to hear it. :D

Does that mean one can build AES stand-alones ?

Is there any way to make the convertor tool convert multiple roms in a row? or can someone make a simple gui where one can just drag the whole set onto a menu and click Go.

Is this recent release BETA 2? Because it the screenshot you are running BETA 3 is that a different version? Or is BETA 2 the latest progress for your AES emu, any more surprises in store? :)

"BETA-TWO" is the latest emu for the AES version! ;)

Thanks for the releases guys...

... But this is REALLY pissing me off. I never have trouble with any of the DC emulators or anything... But I'm having major troubles with the new AES4All.

I got all the files, put them in their places.. Made a selfboot image, and it loads up fine... Now, when I try to select a rom, a window appears for a split second, then bang... It's gone... Back to the main menu. I thought maybe I needed a "Roms" folder, even though you didn't include it... So I tried a CD with a "Roms" folder on it... Same thing... It didn't work.

So I read the readme... And noticed you said we had to "rebuild" the .aes files... You didn't leave us any directions on how to do this, so I assumed you meant using "convertneo" to convert them again from their original roms... Which would be pointless right? As they aren't changed from when I did it from the old release... But I did it anyway.... And nothing.

Any one want to please, PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong? How do I rebuild the .aes files? I've NEVER had trouble with emulators or homebrew before, and it's really pissing me off :D

Thanks in advance

;)

I use GNU/Linux command line for this: a simple 'for' or 'find' and convertneo tool. :D

Its very important rebuild all .AES for this version and dont forget copy new .PRF files generated (only when exits prefetch).

Chui you mentioned using the old .aes files as source for compiling new ones. But every time I try this the convertneo tool tells me "no valid rom set found"...
Do I need to rename the files or prepare them in any way. What command do I use exactly for this...?

Maybe its a problem with convertneo linux binary, try to use windows binary or recompile for linux from source.

But under Windows, sometimes happens something like that when convertneo can not read romrc file, try to copy first your old .aes files to directory where convertneo.exe and romrc resides.

Thanks a lot, Chui, I didn't have time to try out AES4All yet. Will do now that this bugfix is out. :)

Is it all right to delete the aes_bg0_0.png files? I imagine any space freed up from the DC's limited ram would help performance . . .

Dont delete any *.png file if you want work.
If you want use max ram available, use stand-alone version.

I'm having Problems Trying to Selfboot the Game With this ver. of Neo4All. I can get the game and the emu all on 1 disc but The CDDA Files are not playing.......

Is there any other way of resolving this?
