Is there any way to get into a training mode in MvsC, I doub't so since it's the arcade version but I have to ask, maybe some dip switch tweaking or something?

And about 1.51, I don't understand the google translation sorry, does it work with zip compression again, if so do we need to convert the files all over again, is speed as good as uncompressed, or is it really slower now as people are mentioning?

An advice for those new to the emu, remember that in neogeo roms after converting them you can delete the C and V files to save TONS of space. Remember to make a backup of the rom before trying this however so you don't delete anything critical.

Do u delete this from the cahe or the rom?

from the rom. Basically, when you convert the rom the sound files are repeated twice, both in the cache and the rom itself, so you can delete safely this files from the rom itself. For example, in garou, you can delete all the 8mb files in the rom zip and you will still get perfect sound from the game (so that's 80mb more of space per game)

Is it easy to reconise what the sound files are called then? or are they all aprox 8mg files?

Thankyou for that, i've put messages in the help section but nobody replied. This is a great tip to save space, ill try this later.

In big roms they use to take 8mb while in smaller ones its about 4mb. They are the ones with 'c' or 'v' in the name if I remember well.

Basically, try it for each game and if the framerate suffers, leave it turned off.

Hi!

As i know, raster effects are used to change colors so fast that every line appears to have a different color - it is even possible to change so fast that every pixel gets a different color. Old systems have a limitation how many colors can be displayed at the same time. For example 32 Colors chosen from 4096. With raster effects you get access to all 4096 colors by always changing one of these 32 chosen colors. Understand?

It is often used to make a background (sky) smooth. Look at this example Here.

Look at the sky in the first 2 pictures - those are raster effects. The 3rd picture shows the same game on a different system - turning off raster effects causes the sky appear like this.

Raster effects need very much speed. So they can slow down emulation very much. Some games run fullspeed with raster effects turned off but very slow with raster effects.

Greetings

Thanx for the tip Pichon..Does this system also works on CPS2 roms?

**tunglashor** · December 11th, 2006, 15:22

fucht017 - for CPS2, when you run the converter it lists a bunch of files from the ROM - all of these can be deleted from the ROM once the cache is generated (but keep a backup copy)
