How to convert files to work with NeoGeo Multi

Hi,

----------------1----------------
I changed the 4 first lines code by :
romwak /d <infile(X)> <infile(X+1)> <outfile_temp(Y)>
romwak /d <infile(X+2)> <infile(X+3)> <outfile_temp(Z)> ...

The 3 last lines code are the same.

But with the 2 tests (with /d or with /m), the rom doesn't work. :(
 
the script that I gave you works flawless. Use that.
Romwak does "Byte merge two files." and as you can see from the python script that I posted, this is doing "Word merge" not "byte merge".
 
I give up, thank you all the same for your help.
Making a Darksoft (or Analogue Pocket) compatible ROM is really too laborious and complicated for me.

I don't agree. Many people have done it already. Which game do you want to convert? Have you seen the python script that I posted? Is it clear what word merging is?
 
Hi, I'm here again...
I create the same crom0.
I created the same file as that of py with :

But the ROM still doesn't launch : white screen.
 
Then the problem is somewhere else. If the CROM is bad, you will see bad GFX, but you'll see something. Send me the original files and your conversions and I'll see what's wrong.
 
Hi,

Can i use the HJ-Split to concatenate the Vs and Cs?

Will try to convert the Kof98Ultimate hack to run in the Mult, any advice?

I gave instructions, but feel free to use another tool. As a guideline, if its a have, you should see some differences in the code but there should be minor and most of the code must be the same. Similarly for.gfc and sound.

I've followed the instructions (used the HJ-Split)and got this archieve...but the game does not showed in the game list.

Will try again later using your script.

Thanks!

Just use the folder of another kof98 or use any of the homebrw1 homebrw2 or homebrw3 folders. Make sure to put the right fpga file in there.

Im on holidays far from my computer. What is the fpga file of kof98 ? Did you try that?
 
Send me a PM with the files that you're using and I'll have a look
 
How does one work with pesky .neo files and turn them into either DS compatible or MAME compatible file sets?
 
Here is another attempt to create a Darksoft compatible image of Teot AES/MVS.

You can download it from the game page :
https://ozzyouzo.itch.io/teot

or directlty :

https://www.grosfichiers.com/rigtavW7BLk

It contains already converted rom images for your convernience into ./darksoft subdirectory.

To use darksoft.bat and properly convert the roms yourself using this method you will need the latest version of OzzyOuzo Romwak which contains specific /d /e options to concatenate C,P roms in the way required by Darksoft..

https://github.com/ozzyyzzo4096/romwak
(just put romwak.exe into the same directory and run the batch)

Please note that i don't own any neogeo hardware thus i can't test by myself so i'm just reporting feedback from other users.

While the game is able to run there are known problems :

1) Missing data.

it seems that the last megabyte from generated prom1 is ignored or buggy(invalid content?) which is resulting in missing data..
you can check it by playing Chohong and notice that her shadow is missing or incomplete.

2) Crash on Analogue Pocket?

it has been reported that trying to use prom1 on Analogue doesn't work, it will boot without it but , but the result will be the same as for problem 1).
