Nope, xbox one...it's weird because it works in the menu, I can select a game with the joystick and launch it by pressing the X button (maybe all 4 buttons work, not sure) but In game it doesn't work anymore. Can't start the game with the start button for instance...thank you anyway !

That's weird, but normally X is not for starting game, IMHO the order of the buttons is not eh same on the One. So 2 solutions :

 

1) You try to assign the keys differently in controls.cfg (it's really easy to edit).

2) You can use JoyToKey. Personnally i do this on my arcade, because my arcade sticks are not Xinput. So i removed the whole mention to gamepad in controls.cfg (only keys) and mapped the keys in JoyToKey. Works very well.

I can provide things for Launchbox (theme video, arcade view), but i don't think it works with RL.

To use the bezels you have to run it in window mode without the FULLSCREEN_WINDOWS option, if you set a 16:9 resolution like 1920x1080 the game will still be displayed in 4:3 with the black bands but now the bezel will overlap.
I use this mode, all batch files with the PClauncher module and they work great.

I was mentionning Monoke and Sucker Punch. Mononoke is released and Sucker Punch next week.

But there will be a big update for Mononoke today with a new game mode (it will be extended to all games soon) and several features.

 

Also i've ported a fan game and plan to release it this week.

So Many Thank Karis Im gonna try that, as usual hard working devotion for the community 

[Karis]

For informations al the games are now up to date.

 

That means Dl2e and Cliff now have the dynamic resolution.

The other games have the same upgrades than Mononoke.  

 

Almost forgot to mention it but for those allergic to black bars i did a crop of titan AE too. It's in the 16/9 directory

Not my preferred version, but still playable.

Hello guys. 

 

Today's novelty is the release of a HD port i made for Asterix, a game released by Nado 74 for Singe 1.

The game is funny and not too difficult, it includes all the improvements i made the past days.

It's in english instead of italian (actually i didn't have an italian source).

As usual, 480p is available and 4/3 croped too.

 

Stay tuned on monday for the big release: Sucker Punch!

[Karis]

Hello,

 

Please note that the Tutorial and the blank files have been upgraded to v2.12 to include the 3 changes made recently.

Just wait for tomorrow.

Sucker Punch is my biggest release, and probaby the most difficult Laserdisc on earth (but we don't have to pay quarters to replay). The most satisfying also when you master it.

[Rex2573]

I m waiting for it..obiously...but also you hate me for my insistence..I hope always for a 16/9version of TimeGal..you are able in this i know You my Amazing friend

I will love a Space cobra game

We need Dragon's Lair 1 and Space Ace (AI res Enhanced) ported to Singe2! 

 

This new Singe version is very good!

[mazinger4life]

Karis how do  you manage to have sharp clean great video quality in your 480pack(640x480) me i have test some file with 860x480 but the quality is not on the same level of your 480p,I convert with adobe premiere and youtube video maker.

To be honest i'm not a master of conversion.

 

But i convert from a good source, which is important i think. Then in Premiere (or Media encoder) i set it to 2 pass encoding and click the hi-resolution encoding.

Yeah, that's definitely doable, and i've got the sources i made for Singe in Hires (from the Blu Rays).

But it'll take time, especially for Space Ace with all the different path per level (though i created the path action especially for SA, even if we used it for Hayate also).

 Also, i think Digital Leisure is a little itchy about these conversions (little is an understatement).

Nice idea, but, you know, you can do it.

It's really not too complicated to create you own game with the help of the tutorial. And it's fun.

Of course it's doable, but by removing 33% of the image. As i said, no one on earth can do anything about this, apart redrawing the missing elements on the side one by one.

You can change the controllers in the controls.cfg file in each game.

That said on my arcade i use JoyToKey, cause my sticks are not xinput.

Depending on you system (Pi maybe on a bartop?), this might be different.

Was able to edit controls.cfg and it works, thank you !

Just needed to replace gamepad_0 by gamepad_1. What's weird is that if I use your individual .bat files to launcha game, my controller is recognized as gamepad_0 but if I use the menu.dat then I need to rename gamepad_0 to gamepad_1 in controls.cfg to have it working...

Dumb question : Is there any way to play Daphne games like Astron Belt in Singe 2 ?

Thanks your your amazing work !

If you're on windows, order of controllers is managed in a total mess (an issue Microsoft never adressed).

Personnally i use a special program to keep the "good" order cause i've got guns too on the arcade.

 

You cannot play games like Astron Belt 2 (or games needing a rom) in Singe 2 unless someone convert them (for example i did it for Cliff).

Singe 2 is not a strict emulator. It does'nt use roms but a LUA program which "behave" like a rom.

Ok, Sucker Punch is up! I wish you good luck, don't hesitate to use Percent mode to master it.

 

One more (little) surprise coming next week and then some holidays

bartop with ryzen apu and Xinmotek dual arcade ( DINPUT )

GAMEPAD_0 to GAMEPAD_1 works perfect without jotokey.

Thank you Karis for your amazing work with Mononoke 👏🏼

Could you tell me please the correct command to force aspect ratio? 

I’ve tried -a 16:9 with no luck.

I’m running the 480p version, cause the poor specs inside my arcade cabinet but I have a 16/9 monitor (Singe2 uses more resources than Singe).

Thanks in advance

Not sure and the result will be poor. Don't do this.

Have you tried the normal version but with the overlay set to Lo Res ? It's really better for weaker CPUs (and it's true that Singe 2 is not totally optimized, if there are some experts around here Scott would be happy). 

Otherwise i still could create a 480p in 16/9 (or even 1024×576). It would be better than a stretched one.
