Hope lr-fbneo support kof 97 practice mode(kof97pm.zip)

@ninja Yes, Core options can be saved per-game - there's a menu entry on top of the option list that does that. Just set the options you want for the game in question (opening the RGUI while in-game), save them, then set the options back to the values you want to be the default.

@barbudreadmon Thanks for your help. Now I can run kof97pm on my RetroPie.

But there are still some small problems. For example, I cannot see clearly the words on the screen when playing kof97pm.

I guess it's because the support codes added to d_neogeo.cpp might not be complete. So I attached these codes below:

// The King of Fighters '97 Practice Mode

static struct BurnRomInfo kof97pmRomDesc[] = {
        { "232pm-p1.p1",   0x100000, 0x34ccabae, 1 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, //  0 68K code 
        { "232-p2.sp2",   0x400000, 0x158b23f6, 1 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, //   1

        { "232-s1.s1",   0x020000, 0x8514ecf5, 2 | BRF_GRA },          //  2 Text layer tiles

        { "232-c1.c1",   0x800000, 0x5f8bf0a1, 3 | BRF_GRA },           //  3 Sprite data
        { "232-c2.c2",   0x800000, 0xe4d45c81, 3 | BRF_GRA },           //  4 
        { "232-c3.c3",   0x800000, 0x581d6618, 3 | BRF_GRA },           //  5 
        { "232-c4.c4",   0x800000, 0x49bb1e68, 3 | BRF_GRA },           //  6 
        { "232-c5.c5",   0x400000, 0x34fc4e51, 3 | BRF_GRA },           //  7 
        { "232-c6.c6",   0x400000, 0x4ff4d47b, 3 | BRF_GRA },           //  8 

        { "232-m1.m1",   0x020000, 0x45348747, 4 | BRF_ESS | BRF_PRG }, //  9 Z80 code

        { "232-v1.v1",   0x400000, 0x22a2b5b5, 5 | BRF_SND },           // 10 Sound data
        { "232-v2.v2",   0x400000, 0x2304e744, 5 | BRF_SND },           // 11 
        { "232-v3.v3",   0x400000, 0x759eb954, 5 | BRF_SND },           // 12 
};

STDROMPICKEXT(kof97pm, kof97pm, neogeo)
STD_ROM_FN(kof97pm)

static void kof97pmCallback()
{
        lans2004_sx_decode();
}

static INT32 kof97pmInit()
{
        NeoCallbackActive->pInitialise = kof97pmCallback;

        return NeoInit();
}

struct BurnDriver BurnDrvkof97pm = {
        "kof97pm", "kof97", "neogeo", NULL, "1997",
        "The King of Fighters '97 (Practice Mode)\0", NULL, "hack", "Neo Geo MVS",
        NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
        BDF_GAME_WORKING | BDF_CLONE | BDF_BOOTLEG, 2, HARDWARE_PREFIX_CARTRIDGE | HARDWARE_SNK_NEOGEO, GBF_VSFIGHT, FBF_KOF,
        NULL, kof97pmRomInfo, kof97pmRomName, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, neogeoInputInfo, neogeoDIPInfo,

        0x1000, 304, 224, 4, 3
};

Did I miss anything important ?
And what do these codes mean exactly?

@ninja Are you running the game with fbneo directly or with lr-fbneo ?

ninja

@mitu lr-fbneo recompiled by myself

barbudreadmon

@ninja is there a reason for using a custom init ? it doesn't work if you call NeoInit directly instead of your custom kof97pmInit ? HBMAME is using standard init for that hack.

ninja

@barbudreadmon
Well, I just copied the codes for kof97pla from d_neogeo.cpp and modified them for my kof97pm.

Acutally, I even don't understand what they mean.

barbudreadmon

@ninja said in Hope lr-fbneo support kof 97 practice mode(kof97pm.zip):

Well, I just copied the codes for kof97pla from d_neogeo.cpp and modified them for my kof97pm.

This code is meant to decode sx rom before loading it, it seems to be required for kof97pla (see init_kof97pla at the beginning of https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Robbbert/hbmame/master/src/hbmame/drivers/kof97.cpp), but it doesn't seem to be required for kof97pm (or any other kof97 hack for that matter), see this code around the end of hbmame's kof97.cpp file :

...
HACK( 2003, kof97pla,  kof97,    neogeo_noslot, neogeo, neogeo_state,kof97pla, ROT0, "bootleg", "Kof'97 (Plus)(set 1)", MACHINE_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
HACK( 2003, kof97plc,  kof97,    neogeo_noslot, neogeo, neogeo_state, neogeo,   ROT0, "ZKW", "Kof'97 Plus (Black Edition)", MACHINE_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
HACK( 2006, kof97plus, kof97,    neogeo_noslot, neogeo, neogeo_state, neogeo,   ROT0, "bootleg", "Kof'97 (Plus 2006)", MACHINE_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
HACK( 1997, kof97pm,   kof97,    neogeo_noslot, neogeo, neogeo_state, neogeo,   ROT0, "Kof1996", "Kof'97 (Practice Mode)", MACHINE_SUPPORTS_SAVE )
...

The 7th member is either kof97pla (will trigger the call to the init_kof97pla function at boot) or neogeo (will call the standard neogeo init)

barbudreadmon

@ninja also, if you look at this line in your code :

	{ "232-s1.s1",   0x020000, 0x8514ecf5, 2 | BRF_GRA },          //  2 Text layer tiles

You can see it's about the text layer in the comment, the file is named 232-s1.s1, the .s1 extension means it's one of the sx files you are decoding.

ninja

@barbudreadmon But I cannot find this file in kof97pm.zip, there is only 232pm.p1 in this zip file.

barbudreadmon

@ninja that's probably because you are using split romsets, so 232pm.p1 is loaded from kof97pm.zip and every other files are loaded from parent kof97.zip

ninja

@barbudreadmon Yes, you are right. I am using split romsets. There is a 232.s1 file in the kof97.zip.

So is this file not suitable for playing kof97pm ?
