SFA3, D&D Mystara, 1944 and Choko!
(español abajo)
We finish three series of games this week:
-Dungeon&Dragons, by adding Shadow over Mystara
-19XX, by adding 1944
-Street Fighter Alpha, by adding the third game
Plus Janpai Puzzle Choko, a title in Japanese, but you don't need to understand the language to play. Give it a go!
Grego2d has made a special MRA for SFA3 that patches the game with a hack he and rotwang have written. This hack unlocks the game hidden features and adds quality of life changes (see Grego2d's README). Find it in the grego2d folder.
There is an experimental feature this week: if you select on the OSD the option "1P_hold_for_slow", the game will slow down while you press 1P. This can be used to get an edge on shooter games. You also use it to appreciate animations and enjoy the art more. It is off by default.
About next week, I'll send you a poll later so you can choose whether to focus on fighting or shooting games.
Have a retro weekend!

Terminamos tres series de juegos esta semana:
-Dungeon & Dragons, con Shadow sobre Mystara
-19XX, con 1944
-Street Fighter Alpha, con el tercer juego
Además de Janpai Puzzle Choko, un título en japonés, pero no es necesario que entiendas el idioma para jugar. ¡Dale una oportunidad!
Hay una característica experimental esta semana: si seleccionas en el OSD la opción "1P_hold_for_slow", el juego se ralentizará mientras presionas 1P. Esto se puede usar para obtener ventaja en los juegos de disparos. También para apreciar animaciones y disfrutar más del arte. Esta opción está apagada por defecto.
Grego2d ha hecho un MRA especial para SFA3 que parchea el juego con un hack que él y rotwang han escrito. Este MRA desbloquea las características ocultas del juego y añade mejoras (ver README). Lo verás en la carpeta grego2d.
Para la semana que viene, os envio una encuesta más tarde para que elegir si vamos por juegos de lucha o de disparos.
¡Que tengas un fin de semana muy retro!

Hello, i have a little lag with shinobi systeme 16 , it's à normal ? I play with crt tv
That shouldn't happen. Maybe link your Patreon and Discord accounts so you get access to our Discord. The folks there will be able to help you with your setup.
I just had to come back to this post to say how awesome the audio is in 1944 The Loop Master. At your recommendation I'm using an external DAC and everything is so crisp. I've really been enjoying the music in this game. You've done such an excellent job with the QSound implementation. Keep up the great work :-)
I'm glad to hear that. The external DAC makes a big difference!
Hello all! would a 64MB ram module be enough for the CPS2 cores?
Yes, for all the games.
I never got the chance to play this D&D. What a gem that I missed. Thank you your hard work.
gracias!
I run the all-update but could not make D&D and the Japanese game to run, only 1944 and SFZ3. Where do you get the MAME.0229 set?
Older MAME sets should work too.
Gracias Jotego por tu gran trabajo, que pases bonito fin de semana.
What's different about SFA3CE?
- Secret Characters Unlocked And Selectable Without Codes - Color Selection From Char Select Screen, Lights = Xism, Mediums = Aism, Strongs = Vism - Play With Either Branding Zero/Alpha - Stage Select - Hold Start On A Character, A Sound Will Play Indicating Success - Unlimited Taunts For A/V ism - Six New Palettes For Chun Li Taken From The Console Releases - Sodom Palette Fixes For Xism
Thanks for continuing to support quality hacks like the mix project and this, I really appreciate the effort of everyone involved. Seeing new features in old games is a bit like finding that extra quarter in your pocket, while looking at the continue count down.
Nice work!
Man this is awesome!!!
So awesome 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much!
You are a hero and a gentleman
You spoil us man. These releases are surely Special. Everything appears to be working. Alpha 3 is Amazing! Thank you again and again, look forward to ur next release. Please do MK.
Just wanted to say thank you for fixing the audio issues, the voice samples sound great to my ears, thank you again for your efforts!
Great - cheers :)
Is anyone having issues with getting 1944 to work? I've got the latest 1944 rom pack for MAME .0230 and when I start it, I get a black screen and nothing more. The other games SFA3 and D&D Mystra work perfectly. Not to sure what's happening with 1944.
the mame getter script fetched the roms for me, if you are having issues the mame.0229 set has the ones that work, I had a similar issue with 19xx and I got my working ROM off that set
Awesome work mate! Thanks for all your efforts.
Man this is fantastic. Thanks Mr. Tejada.
Poll??? Thats easy, ill take fighting games any day!!!..... no wait give me schmups!! or should it be fighting games....
Thank you, JT! Quick question, is anyone else having issues running shadows of mystara? All the other games work.. But mystara doesn't say assembling on launch nor does it display anything. Any possible fix?
I added the files from the zip, ran the update_all script, and it loads and works perfectly
Can't wait for the poll, and for SSF2T in turn :-)
Thanks Jose !!
How can we load Street Fighter Alpha 3 Challengers Edition? Does it need special roms or just the MRA?
Thanks for all of your hard work!
thank you very much :)
Magnifique ,depuis le core cps2 j ai du mal a éteindre mon mister quelle classe , merci jtgo!
Thank you!
Awesome work!!! Thanks Jose!
Jotego has done it again! JTFriday!!
Wow, one hell of set. Thanks again JT.
nb @theypsilon: both D&D mra's seem to not be picked by the arcade organizer script as CPS 2 titles, so they reside outside of the CPS 2 folder. No big deal, just a heads up.
In view of the upcoming poll and without revealing my preference, I'd say all we're missing still are Mars Matrix and Giga Wing :straight face: That said, I'm impartial and everything's welcome :p
...oh how could I forget Progear too (maybe because it's yoko :)) As I said, I'm strictly impartial
No words, only my heartfelt thanks for all you have achieved so far!
"Relentizar Juegos de disparos" pero mira como se disparan esas pant-sus en SFA3 👌
Boom!
Tasty treats! Thank you, Jose
Awesome work Jotego. I love these weekly releases as they let us focus and enjoy each of the games. Well done and keep it up :-)
Awesome!
Question: I don't see a config folder w/NVRAM in today's archive. Can i skip Step 5 since I have the NVRAM files from the previous update?
It’s not needed anymore. We’ve managed to include the default value for the NVRAM inside the MRA file.
Cheers pal. Have a great weekend.
This is gonna be a wonderful weekend. Thank you
Tks,
Thank you very much.
Ha my favorite, SFZ3. And a hacked version ? Are the secret characters the ones from the console versions ? Are those .mra the ones with the fixed sound you were talking about on twitter last week ? Thank you so much and congrats for your awesome work Jotego ^^
Any details on the sound issues caused by last week's MRAs? Have they been fixed?
Yes, all the MRA files in the zips are correct now.
Wow thanks Jotego 👏👏👏
Thanks man. Appreciated. Just out of curiosity, why are we missing Super Street Fighter 2?
Thank you! SoM is amazing and until now was stranded on my PS3. SFA2 still beats SFA3 :) !
alpha 2 doesn't have mika
YES! - Loop Master and Another SF game... Jose knows foreplay.
Brilliant!
