this IMHO!Or is it best to just use the original bios?
It can also save the scores table for most (all?) the official games, and restore it when the game is played again. It requires a memory card for this, but it does it well.this IMHO!Unibios can swap region and console/arcade mode, but will be redundant once this feature gets released for the multi!Or is it best to just use the original bios?
Other options the Unibios offers:
CRC checks - who cares, just wanna play
Cheats - who gives a shit
Coin up with Button 5 - I always feed coins to my cab, so again, who cares
I’d prefer using the same (Unibios) interface both with DS Multi and original carts... and, oh, yes, first of all I’d like to have these functions on original carts.this IMHO!Unibios can swap region and console/arcade mode, but will be redundant once this feature gets released for the multi!Or is it best to just use the original bios?
I do care. If I wouldn’t, I would have bought a 161in1 and modded it with some resistors and caps.Other options the Unibios offers:CRC checks - who cares, just wanna play
Again, I do.Cheats - who gives a shit
Guess what? Yeah, you got the point: I do care.Coin up with Button 5 - I always feed coins to my cab, so again, who cares
And agaaaaain... I do care. I bought a NeoBiosMasta VMC + Unibios 4.0 for that. And in theory, if all works as intended, doing so you can retain scores between different flashcarts, multicarts and original carts.It can also save the scores table for most (all?) the official games, and restore it when the game is played again. It requires a memory card for this, but it does it well.
Well, that’s debatable and leads to an infinite loop.if you care then use it that's the good thing of living in a free world
Anyway.. the one responsible for Unibios compatibility is the Unibios creator, not Darksoft
I might be wrong, but it seems to me that this just happens right now; I mean full compatibility with original bios functionalities and consequent compatibility with flashcarts for all original bios functions; well we have the boot logo glitch, but (I might be wrong) that’s because DS Multi doesn’t offer the fix tiles to Unibios at boot time just like, guess what? Original carts. But that’s not a real issue IMHO. What we are discussing here is collisions between additional functions which go beyond basic bios and/or real hardware functions on both sides. And it seems to me (again I might be wrong) we have a friendlier community here, more prone to discussing things.what I mean is that you can't make a cart producer responsible of all potential bugs a bootleg BIOS could have in the present or in the future.
DS MVS must be 100% compatible with the original SNK Bios and Unibios must be 100% backwards compatible with the original SNK BIOS.
If both premises are met, we won't have any problem
I might be wrong (as always), but isn’t that something about an extra/special feature being skipped by games directly accessing hardware? I mean a glitch in an extra function rather than a broken original bios retrocompatibility.We are for sure friendly..
Unibios has some issues (or had?) With carts directly accessing to the hardware instead of going through the BIOS.. I don't know if that had been fixed (maybe it's not even possible to fix it, due to how unibios works)
Isn’t red blood activated as well via soft dips?Cheats are great for when you have kids on the machine, or for when you want to dick around. I wouldn't be mad if DS built in some cheats to pick from on the cart. Not all cheats are cheats, like red blood in MS
we know about this and we'll make sure that a proper logo is made available. Doesnt have to be the NEOGEO logo thoughthat’s because DS Multi doesn’t offer the fix tiles to Unibios at boot time just like, guess what? Original carts.
That's a very good question. The MultiMVS will catch all read/writes and will reply to them instead of the cart or the BIOS. That's the plan to be release with next firmware update.what happens if we have conflicting settings between DS Multi and Unibios, i.e. we choose specific soft dip switch settings for a game and Jap AES mode with DS Multi and different soft dip switch settings and Eur MVS mode with Unibios, what do we get as result?
for one of them (3?) If the region is USA the blood is white. Might be a different MS might be a different region, but I know there was a name cheat for red blood.Isn’t red blood activated as well via soft dips?At least for MSX, didn’t check other versions yet...
