I am not 100% sure how you would start it from an elf file unless that is what the emulator specifically does, you must have to load the elf file by opening it with the tool you mentioned above, which by the look of things has to be compiled in order to work but I can't remember how to compile binaries because it is so long since I have done it, maybe there are binaries available.

I don't think many people will actually have the dongles, have they been dumped, do you know? At a guess I would say it was a Linux VM they were running on with the dump on the vm and the dongle mounted but I am speculating heavily there.

Pretty impressive that anybody is actually taking the time and making the effort to get these games to a working state in order to preserve them for future generations and for us to play.

Does RPCS3 need a monster CPU and GPU to run at a decent level of performance or is it okay on hardware less than the latest and greatest?

At the moment I use the Arcade 64 derivative of Mame because I can't be bothered with all the gambling type machine emulation, however what would be the best version of Mame to use purely in terms of performance?

It probably was the 2012 version if that is the one that works with spice tools, I didn't actually realize this was a newer dump.

It used to run great with the older versions of spice tools, does anyone have the old version at all? I had this game running about a year ago or perhaps slightly more, one of my hard drive's had a problem and I lost it because I didn't mirror the drives.

There is actually an standalone emulator made for killer Instinct 1 & 2 that runs pretty well, there is also another one for Primal Rage2 to run properly, I can't remember the names of them now but a google search should find them I would think. They do indeed 246 runs them well.

IDA 1.50 Debug version runs for me at full speed on an old 4gb Quadro k4200 so it can't be too taxing, they are not even gaming drivers, in gaming terms one step up from onboard graphics.

@5kBoxer maybe you need a different exe or something like that, the dump itself should be ok, or try running it in compatibility mode for windows 8, I had to kind of mess around with mine to get it running but the simultaneous 2 player exe from the dumps page on this forum got it working eventually.

Probably power saving settings, better to make a custom plan with screen saver disabled etc and adjust your settings in the bios of your machines as well. the Processors work better for this type of thing with all power saving disabled in bios to stop the processor speeds working based on the load on them at the time, a 3ghz processor can go down to for example 1ghz to save power, switch all of it off.

I know that these updates for IDA have a parent child relationship, 1.30 presumably being the parent and 1.50 presumably being the child, what I don't understand is how the game can be updated if hyper V or any other VM is saying that the 1.50 vhd is corrupted when this relationship is specified, I am not asking for a tutorial just whether anyone has managed to mount the 1.50 update or not, not how to do it, I am pretty sure I can work that out, just whether it is possible with these files or not?

Thanks very much, this clears things up for me very well. 😁

Awesome scanline effects, am I better using the internal menu in the command line style Mame to apply these or will Arcade UI just work the same using the BGFX settings as video mode and CRT geom deluxe as the chains setting with GLSL as the backend or should the backend be something else to have it look the same as in your screen shots, also what resolution are they displayed at? Sorry for the longish question and TIA.

Works fantastic for me with dome fix, well 97% out of 100 at least with mouse due to crosshair's

@Serpent It's looking good, thanks for showing that it works and in practice as well as theoretically.

What else do I need to get one of these guns to work appart from obviously the USB version of the gun if I only have an LCD monitor eg sensor bars etc or is it a no go?

If it is Sanwa parts you are using it should make a good arcade stick, I really rate them personally and they will be better than any of the ready made ones, I would be tempted to go for a wooden case though, rather than plastic or make your own with plywood or mdf, if you have the tools anyway, give it a sand and spray with automotive paint, the extra weight will really add to the feeling of it and it won't slide around as much, it should not even cost more.

For $70 it is a no brainer. Risk free purchase if you know that it is working okay, and to upgrade your CPU, easy a used Intel Core i7-3770K from Ebay for $40 or $50 at most.

That is 2022 in my house.

You are mapping the exit key in your frontend, not in spice tools, your frontend will close the windows for pretty much any game in the same way.

This emulator does not seem to like E5 xeons for some reason, I have 2 of them with high clock speeds and core counts, with exactly the same behavour as you, I know the game works because I was able to get it running on, believe it or not, my friends i3 with a lowish spec graphics card, can't remember the exact model now to be honest but it was only 2gb vram. I couldn't get to the bottom of the problem at all but could you please let me know if you find out how to get it to run?

Ducon, thanks for the reply, I get that step 2 is a must but it does not do anything when I run the .bat file my friend, except flicker even when I run as administrator, probably my computer at fault, when i check it won't run any batch files, they must have been disabled.

Great little game but I still have the graphics mixed up, can anyone please tell me how I can sort these graphical issues, like in Ducon2016's first post showing graphic issues?

Hopefully this will be working soon, fun looking little game.
