MiSTer FPGA Forum

Hello.
I have a question.

This code is mame style code for Art of Fighting.

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NeoGeo_ ... ter/xml.md
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Example MAME style rom entry
Below is an example of an XML entry for a MAME style ROM set.

<romset name="aof" pcm="1" altname="Art of Fighting">
<file name="044-p1.p1" type="P" index="4" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-s1.s1" type="S" index="8" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c1.c1" type="C" index="64" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c2.c2" type="C" index="65" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c1.c1" type="C" index="72" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-c2.c2" type="C" index="73" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-c3.c3" type="C" index="68" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c4.c4" type="C" index="69" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c3.c3" type="C" index="76" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-c4.c4" type="C" index="77" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-m1.m1" type="M" index="9" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-v2.v2" type="V" index="16" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-v4.v4" type="V" index="20" offset="0"/>
</romset>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When applied to romsets.xml, the graphic is broken.


MAME XML information :
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM_REGION( 0x800000, "cslot1:sprites", 0 )
ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "044-c1.c1", 0x000000, 0x100000, ~~~~~~)
ROM_CONTINUE( 0x400000, 0x100000 )

ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "044-c2.c2", 0x000001, 0x100000, ~~~~~~)
ROM_CONTINUE( 0x400001, 0x100000 )

ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "044-c3.c3", 0x200000, 0x100000, ~~~~~~)
ROM_CONTINUE( 0x600000, 0x100000 )

ROM_LOAD16_BYTE( "044-c4.c4", 0x200001, 0x100000, ~~~~~~)
ROM_CONTINUE( 0x600001, 0x100000 )
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The c3 and c4 rom load addresses are 0x200000, 0x200001


So, I modified it as below. c3(index=68), c4(index=69)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<romset name="aof" pcm="1" altname="Art of Fighting">
<file name="044-p1.p1" type="P" index="4" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-s1.s1" type="S" index="8" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c1.c1" type="C" index="64" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c2.c2" type="C" index="65" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-c1.c1" type="C" index="72" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-c2.c2" type="C" index="73" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-c3.c3" type="C" index="68" offset="0x200000"/>
<file name="044-c4.c4" type="C" index="69" offset="0x200000"/>
<file name="044-c3.c3" type="C" index="76" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-c4.c4" type="C" index="77" offset="0x100000"/>
<file name="044-m1.m1" type="M" index="9" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-v2.v2" type="V" index="16" offset="0"/>
<file name="044-v4.v4" type="V" index="20" offset="0"/>
</romset>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only player character graphics are broken.

Is there any solution?

The offset in MiSTer xml is the offset into the file (ex. 044-c1.c1) The load address is set by the index. 0x000000 in Mame is index 64, 0x0000001 is index 65, 0x200000 is index 68, 0x200001 is index 69, etc.

This is the correct xml:
Here is the xml for some other Mame roms:

This is the correct xml:

Code: Select all

        <file name="044-v2.v2" index="16"/>
        <file name="044-v4.v4" index="20"/>
    </romset>

Here is the xml for some other Mame roms:
mame-romsets.xml.zip

Thank you so much !!! Perfect !!! Great !
This game needs to be exactly the range of memory addresses with the length command.
Thank you for the attached file.

+
King of Fighters 99 (non encrypted P,decrypted C)

This code is a problem that energy bars and letters are not displayed.
I can't solve it.

I think you just need the s1 file. <file name="251-s1.s1" index="8"/> I found it as kf99n_s1.rom in kof99nd.zip. I couldn't find non encrypted P but 152-p1.p1 & 152-p2.sp2 from kof99ka also work.

You are genius!
Perfect! Thank you so so much.

Another way.
Use the non-encrypted ROM, neoragex ROM
