MAME Beatmania Help

HioMrSan · 08-21-2006, 12:57 PM

I'm not sure this is the right place, but does anyone play beatmania on MAME? I need the CHD for beatmania complete mix 2 if anyone has it? I can send you any of the others in return?

Also I can't seem to get my turntable to work correctly. I'm messing around with the US KOC and a Smartjoy plus adaptor. What settings does one use in the analog control options? I'm actually not sure what I map the turntable to, but I've gotten it to "work" somewhat. It fires randomly and sticks, etc... I raised the autocenter up to 255, but I just can't seem to find settings that make it feel like its working as it should.

Edit: Got an IM saying it is my adaptor, anyone else mind posting what they use?

woooah... didn't know mame did bemani games.

is there anywhere that there's a list of what bemani/music games work in mame?

Only beatmania offically, however I heard there is some version of mame floating around that has support for older pop'n music mixes.

The list from 0.107: beatmania 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, complete, complete 2, core remix, featuring Dreams Come True

No Final mix saddly.

yeah i heard something about the firebird, firesomething or whatever konami calls it arcade board being emulated.
and maybe i was dreaming but that included pop'n and para para games.

i'm suprised more bemani machines aren't emulated. ddr especially. oh well

back on topic:
i use the ems dualshooter adaptor for my linux box (never used it for a bm sim... tried out steppin' music with scratching for the two extra keys though... doesn't really work)

and an ems trio linker for my windows computer. works great with bmdx and be-pachi music

also, i'm going to be searching for beatmania roms. i'll let you know if i come across anything

ok, i was def dreaming when i saw somewhere about the firebeat board being emulated. according to this site http://www.system16.com/hardware.php?id=828 there's a lot of cool games that use it: para para, a bunch of popn and beatmania games, keyboardmania, beatmania III

beatmania III home version anyone???!!! Finally a use for our foot pedal jacks.... once this stuff gets put into mame

I'd honestly love to help you out, but this really touches on that legal grey area involving piracy, so I can't allow it. Sorry guys.
