Hello, my mushy friend...

Just as a test run, I am tossing up an EVERCREST ONLINE ARCADE, where evercresters can battle with/against their favorite other EC'ers in their favorite* arcade games.

* So long as your favorite game is on the list, of course.

The following games are available :

Other game can be added as people request them.

To play these games, you must do this :

STEP 1 : Download Mame32K. The URL is http://www.wintersroar.com/web/mame32-067-414-ka09.exe .
STEP 2 : Install Mame32K. I installed it to C:\ (It creates a mame32k folder)
STEP 3 : Drop the ROM .zip files of the games you want to play, into the mame32k\roms directory.
STEP 4 : Open up Mame32k, and go to File, then Audit All Games. This tells Mame32K what games you have!
STEP 5 : Go to File, then Play Network Game. Select the Evercrest Games server.
STEP 6 : Create a game, then play with others!

The server is being hosted by me, but if my bandwidth is not sufficient, would anyone like to host it? It's 3 extremely small files, and it runs in the background.

I was going to try to help you, but you started PLAYING before you actually got my help!

To configure the game's input, BTW, hit TAB while in the game.

As admin, you must somehow set the games to be more than 2 players.

\\Divine// told us so.

Kenn : I've got Liam uploading Aerofighters 3 (Sonic Wings 3) to the FTP. I've already added the file to the server.

The URL to download it is : [EDIT - This doesn't work without extra files, too much of a hassle, nevermind]

Additionally, we've put Dungeons and Dragons : Shadow over Mystara up there as well.

http://www.wintersroar.com/web/ddsom.zip

I HAVE FIGURED OUT HOW TO PLAY FOUR-PLAYER!!!

It's so obvious I'm really really angry about not realising it sooner.

When it says 2/2, that doesn't matter. Other people can still join! We've got 3/2 in a game now

EDIT : The SOM file was corrupt, I am re-uploading a non-corrupt one. 10 minutes until it works. The server's down until then

Blah. Okay, yeah, here's what's going on with Shadow over Mystara.

Liam downloaded it and put it on Zaza's FTP. Except the one he downloaded, was corrupt.

I tried to re-upload a non-corrupt one, and I thought I had. But it turns out that Zaza's FTP wouldn't let me replace the corrupt file that's there.

So what you need to do is this :

download http://www.wintersroar.com/web/ddsom-retry.zip . This is the NON-CORRUPT Shadow over Mystara file.

Download it and rename it to 'ddsom.zip' and then drop that into your roms directory.

Sorry for the confusion.

This is great and all, but it won't recognize the fact that I have a PS2 controller connected via the PSX->USB thingie, even though things like ZSNES do. Also, playing anyone but marge (And marge sux, omg bart ftw) in the simpsons is the suck.

You're a good man, Khyron. I was going to ask you to explain how to get that thing to work in detail, because I REALLY wasn't in the mood to do it myself, but I forgot to do it afterwards.. And here you go and post a thread and make my wish come true!

Thanks, duder.

Pure ownage. I wanna request Battletoads or Double Dragon if you can find it. Gauntlet Legends would be even better.

I commend the awesomeitude that you have put forth, Khyron.

Or Marvel VS Capcom.

And maybe put a password on the server if possible.

New games added :

Also, remember that you can play these games while offline so that you can configure your controls/get used to the game/practice moves. Just go to 'available' on the left and double-click the game to play

To get a joystick/gamepad working make sure you've enabled Joystick input in the Default Game Options.

And for those who didn't catch it earlier in the thread, or for all those in IRC who keep asking the same damn question... :

TAB CONFIGURES INPUT
TAB CONFIGURES YOUR KEYS
TAB LETS YOU PICK WHAT KEY GOES TO WHAT BUTTON
TAB TAB TAB TAB TAB

Anyone have any other game requests? Marvel Vs Capcom 2 is a no-no... Mame doesn't support the NAOMI CPB yet.

Funny enough, I set up the FTP server and I don't have permission to delete the file...

Odds are, the server itself is setup right, but the NTFS permissions are fux0rd. :| Someone will have to talk to Za or probably Jens and get them to correct the screwed file.

Since I can't edit that post, I'll just leave the ddtod-retry.zip as it is. I had Zaza delete the ddtod.zip (The corrupted one).

Megaman Power Battle is only available in asian. I can get Megaman 2 : The Power Fighters in english though.

Contra is up. Contra!

Dynamite Cop is not supported by MAME32 though .

Last three for the night (All are fighting games) :

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo

I picked Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, because it's the first game to have Akuma in it (As the final boss). It has Cammy and all the popular, well-known fighters too.

Mortal Kombat 2

In my opinion, the best of the Mortal Kombat games

Time Killers

One of the worst fighting games ever, but I still end up playing it over and over... I just love to dismember my opponents WITHOUT ENDING THE FIGHT! Nothing like grabbing a chainsaw and lopping off a guy's arms and watching him try to headbutt you for a good laugh

Hey, I loved Time Killers!

Nothing like killing your opponent when he's allready chopped off your arms. Or landing that one-in-a-million opening shot on Death and taking his head right off with the first shot. (Mind you, what he did to me in the second round was just sick and cruel. I honestly think it was programed to be downright mean to anyone that did that.)

I believe in the existance of magic, not because I have seen proof of its existance, but because I refuse to live in a world where it does not exist.

(Although, he DID beat me on several occasions.)
