Jotego's RoboCop Beta Core Released to Patreon Subscribers

Unread post by Xbytez »

Jotego's has made available to his patreon subscribers a beta release of his RoboCop core.
Although there are some problems with percussion sounds, Robocop now has its own core, based on that of Bad Dudes. The protection CPU is different though. I need a bit more time to check that the protection CPU speed is correct, although, it may not impact the gameplay in a noticeable way.
Jotego's patreon is here:

Thank you - made a video - already a Pateron - but pushed Jotego's pateron at every moment within the video for those who are not on this site.

What a core - had no idea this was coming - this alone is worth my yearly Pateron cost to me personally.

Ok, tried that still freezes up, music still plays but movement stops. Very odd, i've never had any issues with games until now :|

Initially I had problems getting this to run. Black screen and or just the score and energy bars showing in game and attract screen. Then I ran update all it downloaded robocop again and worked not sure if it was my doing (as I deleted robocop.zip in mame folder etc , tried a few things ) or if jotego updated the core about 2pm this afternoon as that’s when it update all grabbed robocop files again. Now works . Amazing release

Guys I'm sorry - supernoob here but for $5 a month how can we not support jotego? That being said I've got this game loaded and my regular coin and start buttons aren't working. I even did a remap using the mister menu and have it corresponding. Same controller that works everywhere else - for the life of me I can't insert a coin and hit start (even though I mapped them to select and start). Am I missing something?

New cores - The beta phase

When I develop new cores, these are available for download during the beta phase only if you enable it. Follow the instructions in this video to enable beta download.

Cores in beta phase have their inputs locked up unless you place the file jtbeta.zip in the folder games/mame of your SD card. The jtbeta.zip can be found in Patreon and our Discord server.

Beta testers provide feedback about the cores and also financial support thanks to the beta test program. Please join the beta group if you want to contribute to further development.

Thanks Chris. i definitely did, then I ran update_all, but the only thing I could bring up with it was a patron screen. Ultimately I went the long way - drilled into the zip and unpacked each file to it's directory manually, overwriting. That did it! Thanks for your help!

Just an update on my issues, i just ran the update_all script again and it seems to work ok now, played on past level 3, and left it running for an hour with no hangups or issues, so not sure what was going on there but all is ok, many thanks to JT.

A bad compilation made its way to the first beta by mistake. It was failing on some FPGA devices. I fixed it on the next day, after reviewing the log files. Apologies for that.

Hi

Is there something special with the display configuration on Robocop core beta ?

My Panasonic Oled won’t display past the boot loading bar, I see a quick image of robocop, thank goes like it is switching resolution and black screen.(I keep earing the sound). I tried HMDI on my AVR and direct to Tv.

I tried my Dell LCD Pc screen just goes fine on HMDI.

I have the latest jtbeta.bin in the mame folder.

Many Thanks

I'm having the same problem! The ROM loads, and I get about one second of audio and video then the screen goes black, and a few seconds later my TV menu comes up and says it cannot display this resolution. I've never had this occur using any other core/game and I've been using my MiSTer on this tv for over a year.

So it seems that the solution for me was to do a clean install of my Mister, since then, no more issues !

The Panasonic oled does not work with this core refresh rate.
In order to run this core you don't need to do a clean install.
You have to set vsync_adjust=0 in ini file.
You have to use this setting for all cores with refresh rate too far from 60hz.

Thanks! I tried this a week or so ago and figured it out, but that was the issue.
