j'ai rien vu concernant les roms de plus de 29Mo dans le read-me de la derniere version ,mais j'ai regardé en vitesse ,si qq à le courage de tout lire :
MAME-X (XBox port of M.A.M.E) Updated by superfro, ported by OpCode, interface by plonkman
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------
changes:
-------------------------------
*************
Beta 5:
*************
OpCode is no longer working on this project
Superfro is trying to help out the scene =).
Added splash, soon to be nice gfx when someone makes me one.
Added color, ahhh.
Added Rom Searching message (and progress) at bootup. (good for lots of roms).
Added Rom Loading progress meter.
When a rom fails to load, it now prints some error messages for you.
Fixed bug where if a game doesn't load and is just black, it doesn't just sit there you can hit
back+start to go back to the menu. (You'll notice these guys have sound too if you push OK and
keep messing with the buttons, Working on figuring out why now)
Clones displaying is an option now, at the selection screen press X;
*************
Beta 4:
*************
Fixed scratchy sound in that occurred some games sound should be 100% correct now (well on par w/ MAME anyway).
Mapped all speakers in a 5.1 stereo system (i.e. all left channel goes to left channel speakers (Front and Back) and likewise w/ right channel, mono I think plays in all channels), this sounds a LOT better IMHO on nice stereo systems.
Mapped MAME's Config Menu to the XBox White button. With this you should be able to configure button mappings and anything else you can configure through this menu. NOTE: as of this release nothing is saved so you will have to reconfigure games every time you start them.
Mapped MAME's pause key to the XBox Black button.
Fixed the game list to read available games from the roms directory no matter what case they are in they will show up as available as long as the rom is named correctly.
*************
Beta 3:
*************
Fixed crash when returning to game selection menu from a game then trying to load another game. This means you can play as many games as you like from your media without rebooting.
The game list now displays ALL games that you have roms for in the roms directory on the disk. This should either clutter the screen less (if you have less than a full set of roms) or more since now clones WILL be displayed if you have the clone roms.
*************
Beta 2:
*************
Moved the direction controls to the DPAD by request supposudly 8 way games didn't work with the analog stick and they will with the dpad (again thats what I was told, not confirmed).
Added Reset key combo (White+Black buttons) this helps a lot in williams games (defender and joust to name a couple) that stick at testing when they do this press the White+Black buttons and it will reset the game and then work.
Added return to game seletion menu (Back+Start buttons). NOTE: You can select another game but when you play it it will load the roms then lock up, I don't know why yet.
*************
Beta 1:
*************
First Relase
-------------------------------
FAQ
-------------------------------
Q: How do I get past the press OK to continue windows?
A: Press Left then Right on the DPAD this simulates typing OK.
Q: Why do NEO GEO roms give me the OK screen then lock up when emulation starts?
A: It appears if you haven't set your XBOX's time this will be the result, set the xbox time.
-------------------------------
Getting MAME up and running
-------------------------------
Ok here's a quick guide on how to get this running. First unzip the contents of this archive to some directory on your HD (preserving the archives directory structure). You then should have these files:
/default.xbe - mame executable
/mame.ini - mame config file
/Media/Font.xpr - font used for menu display
/roms - directory where mame rom files should be placed
/mame.txt - Official MAME readme file
/xbox.txt - the text file you are reading now
You should place you mame roms in the roms folder either in zipped format or in unzipped format (I recommend zipped format). Don't ask where to get roms, I don't know.
You then should create an gdf format iso (there are xbox iso creation tools floating around find one) of the directory I described above. Burn the resulting iso to the media of your choice (from testing DVD-RW works best less read errors and less times you have to reboot or eject to get the xbox to recognize the media). Now the easy part, boot the xbox with the disc in the drive, it is working if you see a list of games. If it doesn't work at this point try rebooting the xbox if it still doesn't work then you must have done something wrong.
-------------------------------
The mame.ini file
-------------------------------
You really shouldn't have to change anything in this file as long as you follow the directions above. One thing you may but probably won't need to change is the resolution parameter. This parameter determines at what resolution mame will try to render to on your TV, from testing I have found 587x440 to work well on my TV. If mame games seem to be cut off you may need to back this resolution off (remember to keep the aspect ratio at 4:3).
This file is mostly self explanatory as it follows the standard mame.ini file. Please note that I have not tested many options from the ini file but they should work, if you wonder if something like scanlines or the filter effects work, give them a try please.
-------------------------------
Game selection
-------------------------------
The interface for displaying games only displays non-clone games. This was done to cut down on the number of games displayed, scrolling through 3500 is crazy! To select a game from the list of games displayed first scroll to the game you want to play using the L trigger & R trigger buttons. L trigger scrolls up and R trigger scrolls down, the scrolling speed is determind by how hard the button is pressed (I know it can be a bit tricky to get it to stop on a game). Once a game is highlited, press the A button to load the game roms and start the emulation.
-------------------------------
Emulating a game
-------------------------------
IMPORTANT: WHEN GAME EMULATION ASK YOU TO PRESS OK, PRESS L THEN R ON THE DIGITAL PAD.
The only thing that needs explaining here is the buttons on the xbox controller. I mapped the buttons as follows:
Digital Pad - Direction controller
A - MAME button 1
X - MAME button 2
B - MAME button 3
Y - MAME button 4
L Trigger - MAME button 5
R Trigger - MAME button 6
White Button - Brings up or Hides MAME Config menu
Black Button - MAME Pause Key
Start - MAME Start button (starts games)
Back - MAME Select button (inserts coins)
Black+White - Reset (useful for willaims games that require a reset)
Start+Back - Return to selection menu, can't play another game though
I seem to have a bug here it locks up after loading roms
MAME-X will support up to four controllers mapping them to the game you are emulating if it supports that many controllers.
-------------------------------
Note on Large Games
-------------------------------
From testing I have found that larger new games that total in size above around 29MB will not run on the xbox port of mame. If you select a game and it tries to load the roms and it doesn't play it is because the xbox ran out of memory or the roms couldn't be found. Some games will show a blank screen after loading which also means they ran out of memory or something (meaning I truly don't understand why yet), I've only seen this on large games.
-------------------------------
Final Notes
-------------------------------
This port would not have been possible without the excellent work by the core MAME team (read the mame.txt file). The work that has been put into MAME is trully amazing and the MAME team should be given all the credit they deserve.
Well thats about wraps it up I'm not much on documentation and this is still a work in progress.
