are there exclusive games for st-v?

Most of the ST-V games were ported to the saturn, as it was very straight forward to do.

Re: TMNT core is gone?

I am a Jotego patreon, and I noticed the Furrtek's original TMNT core disapperared when I got the beta for the Jotego one, but in my opinion it sucks that non-patreons lose access to it if they use update_all. Is that really the case? Can it at least be downloaded from elsewhere and manually installed?

Re: TMNT, Simpsons, Sunset Riders - Konami core?

Another Konami game, Punk Shot, released by Jotego as beta for patreons.

No relevant news in the patreon post, other than we should have a new game for the 29th.

Using 2 EG Starts USB Boards, Configuring One Changes the Other [Solved]

My friend has a cab that uses 2 identical EG Starts USB boards for players 1 and 2. They have the same VID/PID. When we configure the buttons for one player in a core, it works fine. But if we configure the buttons for the other player, the first player has its directions changed (up is down, left is right) and the buttons too. Any idea what could ...

Re: WWF WrestleFest Arcade Core?

For the record, I had the arcade board, came with my first supergun, but it showed wrong colors (other than that worked fine). I donated it to a local arcade association some years ago, but I guess I could recover it if some code developer needed it.

Re: Sometimes a Direction Input Gets Stuck in Any Controller

Thanks for the replies, I have this problem with different controllers, different PSUs and different USB ports. It happens quite frequently, and usually it solves itself in a few seconds, so I don't have time to plug/unplug, but it totally ruins the experience, specially in 2 player games.

I find strange it is only happening recently.

Re: What Is the Minimum Number of Buttons Needed for Most Arcade Cores?

Depends on what "most" means for you. Definately quite a lot of arcade cores only use 2 buttons, but many modern ones use 3. Then the neogeo uses 4 buttons, but most of the non-fighting ones only use 2 or 3. Finally most capcom fighting games use 6. If you are going to buy an arcade stick, in my opinion it doesn't make any sense to have o...

Re: Neo Geo CD Core

I must say I wasn't sure if the bios were supposed to be in the NeoGeo folder, or in the folder where I have the NeoGeoCD isos (which is just a subfolder in the previous one), so I just went ahead and copied all bioses in both folders.

I have a friend who has an old 4:3 LCD TV that only has SCART and VGA inputs, and he wants to use his mister on it. So far all cores work OK both using forced_scandoubler=1 or vga_scaler=1, but the SNES one. He says he gets a black screen and "resets every 2-3 seconds". He has tried it in another, more modern 16:9 TV that also has VGA inp...

You won't see that option if you are running the "official" NeoGeo core. It's only available on the ENCC version of the core, which looking at the code it does look like there is a merge bug that happened and the UserIO joystick settings are CD speed are colliding. Not sure where to go post an issue for that fork. Thanks, I just don't kn...

After trying "Last Blade" at 4x I must say, that the AES/MVS is still the preferable way to play this. Loading interruptions are unnerving... In my opinion, it is pointless to play any fighting game released after 95, loading is still there and many animations are cut.

Odd - my unibios settings are saved, i.e. CDZ system selection stays. Maybe start by deleting your /media/fat/config/ files for the core.

Thanks, I deleted all config files, and still I don't get the unibios settings saved. Oh well, I'll just configure them each time.
