BEZELS for Taito Type X

AlexDC22 · February 7, 2014

Decided to split the threads...these really should go on its own thread due to the fact that is not part of the unified themes...

Plus they can be a pain in the you know what to set up sometimes xD

The info below may work for some, but for some it may not... And it will be updated when solid methods to use bezels come to light.

In some cases if i use an image from some one else here, there will be a credits file withing the folder of said bezel.

Some of these bezels will be updated and or have an alternate, either way if is not here...is not made yet

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TUTORIAL:

Ok I have now included all the files necessary to run the TTX games in windowed mode to be able to use the Bezels I have made.

These where all tested on my setup: Win7 64 Ultimate

With an ATI HD 5870 Video card.

The games where all a clean installs that I got from http://www.emuline.org

So the files provided either work for you or not.

They are now located on the FTP: AlexDC22\Taito Type X

I’ve included a modified PCLauncher module to enabled bezels, it is not official but it works as others have used it and they

haven’t reported any problems to me at all.

It is based on the latest update of Module V. 2.1.1

The process is very simple and it is as follows.

Step-1:

Copy everything inside these Game Folders to the corresponding Game Folder for said game.

Keep in mind that you will be overwriting files and that it is your responsibility to make sure you have a backup of these

files you are about to overwrite, just in case something goes wrong.

Step-2:

Read the readme.txt files and Set up the files in the PCLauncher Module as instructed in them.

Most of it is very simple as it consist of example: "The gameres.dat and the launcher goes in the game folder, and launch game via TW_Launcher.exe"

Step-3:

You’re done, and now just enjoy the games

Now these are all the bezels that will be made for now, as the other missing game can’t be windowed yet.

An that is: KOFMIA

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE:

Vertical bezels don’t need to have any extra files, as these

just go inside of the Game folder and just need to be renamed

accordingly to what you already have is said game folder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEMATIC GAMES:

Trouble Witches will not exit properly over here, only way I am able

to exit completely is via the emergency exit key.

Trouble Witches and Tetris: Sometimes you will get a white or black

screen at the beginning, if

thats the case you will have to exit and load again..dont happen often.

I do not know if this is related to my video cards since Only have ATI.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FADE USERS READ:

Ok I do not know if this is related to me having an ATI video card

instead of an Nvidia one, but the following games I have problems

showing Bezel's with when using fade in and out.

All these games work properly and show the Bezel properly when

Fade in and out is disabled.

Most of these have a work around, and thats making different Bezel's for

them or turn fade out off.

It will fix at least one of the issues with them, which is the window not

hiding under the Bezel.

Or I would have to make the squardish bezels again, but still some

games like TW will not work at all.

Again I do not know if this is related to the video card at all, as I only

have ATI installed on my computers.

If any of you does tries this with an Nvidia video card and it does not

have these problems, please let me know and I will update this post.

BBCT - Fade in not clean and the game window stays on top of the bezel

KOF98UM - Fade in not clean and the game window stays on top of the bezel

KOFMIA - Fade in and out not clean and the game over screen dont even show

KOFXII/XIII - Fade in not clean. The game window stays on top of the bezel cant be helped

SA - Fade in not clean and the game window stays on top of the bezel

SSFIVAEV2012 - Fade in not clean and the game window stays on top of the bezel

TW - Fade in is clean, but the game window does not adjust to the bezel play area no matter what.

If all loader is used, the game will not run at all

AH2 - Fade in not clean and the game goes to full screen

All vertical shooters dont have a clean fade in or out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to thank the following people for various forms of help, from theme art I used to make the bezels from...for providing files to get these games running on

windowed mode....to testing and for just plain moral support and or interest in what I’ve been doing for the TTX games.

I want to thank all of you, but a few I just personally have to mention since they were more involved in some way or the other.

THK

relic

And last but not least.... Sir mixmasta gigapig and sir mixmasta langersld xD

Thanks for always encouraging me and providing help when no one would

And thank you as well to those that doubted me

But without gigapig....I would have not get all these Bezel's done, let alone have TTX installed as his

Video Guide was how I learned how to do this.

That’s it... I hope everything works out for those brave enough to try these xD

Cheers.

Alex.

This section will be for the vertical bezels for TTX...

These files go in the game folder, not the bezel folder.

There will be alternates for some games, and I also might make more at a later date

You also may need to rename these.

Last but not least...a big thank you to langersld and gigapig for leading me in this direction

Just know that I appreciate you guys

Gigawing Generations

<-----Old one and still there, but does not match the rest of the TTX set.

Ok heres some progress on KOFMIA.

i am able to use D3DWindower.exe to run the game windowed...problem is that is not automated the same way it is on Arcade PCLauncher.

i actually have to click "run program" after launching D3DWindower.exe

maybe a script can be used to send a command to run the" run program" whithing D3DWindower.exe after its launched.

Anyone has the script skills whats to help out?

if so please let me know.

Thanks.

gigapig · February 7, 2014

From your list of not working, here's what I have working.

Arcana heart 2

Chaos Breaker

Trouble Witches

Not working

KOFMIA

Tetris Correction, I can get it windowed, but it tiny.

So small in fact it would fit in a Game Gear.

I shall continue to look at these.

Deadly · February 7, 2014

I posted a loooong time ago that I couldn't get KOFMIA to work and no one responded so I assumed that I was the only one. After hours of monkeying around and downloading different versions I still had no luck. I was wondering if it was an issue running on Windows 7. So I moved it onto my Windows 7 laptop and it works. WTF?! The only difference that matters between the two boxes is one is Nvidia while the other is ATI. ATI works and Nvidia doesn't. (First time EVER lol)

Can someone confirm if my theory is correct?

ATI here...i can run it windowed like the post above says...but still kinda short of a dollar in setting it up.

If it works start changing the width and height. See if it continues to work or breaks at some point.

???? i need it windowed not full screen, which the 1 would indicate...is k man...i been on this route as well...

Thanks

gigapig · February 7, 2014

Gentlemen, It may be different in other dumps of KOFMIA, but I have never noticed a "settings.arc" file in the folder. gameres.dat yes, but not the other.

Also, from the config that Deadly posted, the line that normally changes full screen\windowed is "EnableProxyLibrary." Changing that to a "1" will give windowed mode.

AlexDC22 · February 7, 2014

actually have it working, but only out of HS in window mode better than my previews post...

i tried settings arc route again since finding out about D3Dxwindower.

changed start.ini to use settings.arc instead of gameres.dat.

// Run
*typex_loader.exe KOFMIA_Launcher.exe

// Settings
#settings.arc

// Index (1:settings.arc; 0:GameRes.dat)
$1

made a KOFMIA.bat file and put the following on it.

@echo off
typex_loader.exe KOFMIA_Launcher.exe

sadly still goes to fullscreen in HLHQ when testing.

but works great out of it in windowed mode.

Thanks Deadly for the idea...

so lets see where it goes from here.

Thanks

gigapig · February 7, 2014

Just tried all that and it still goes fullscreen.

AlexDC22 · February 8, 2014

Just tried all that and it still goes fullscreen.

did you use it in conjunction with D3DWindower.exe and the D3Dhook.dll?

Edit:

LOL just check and now it goes into full screen? LMFAO this TTX stuff is so random lol

Been having the same symptoms, 1 minute it's windowed, the next my head starts smashing into the keyboard.

good at least is not just me...i do believe that a script would be beneficial on this issue...sadly me and scripts dont get along :'(

Deadly · February 8, 2014

Is this the version of D3Dwindower you used?

no i used the english one...cant remember where i got it tho ...

AlexDC22 · February 8, 2014

Made a contra alternate to match more of the general bezel theme for TTX that we got going.

AlexDC22 · February 8, 2014

I updated post#2 in the first page with all the TTX Vertical games that i have.

Heres a few.

As always...feedback is welcome

Thanks.

Alex.

langersld · February 9, 2014

Dude... They look owsum....

AlexDC22 · February 10, 2014

Replace youre tetris game.exe with this one and and emptry sv folder is provided if you dont have one.

As always back up youre original files.

this is not perfect, sometimes you will get a white screen...if thats the case exit and try again...

ive only gotten that like 2 times out of 10 tries.

best i can do at the moment xD

also these last few remaining, the window size cannot be adjusted as far as i know...hence the extra side grid :/

if this gets solved, the bezel will get updated as an alt.

files for this games to make it work coming soon...along with other files needed to make the process a simple copy and paste+replace solution we hope xD

but the bezel is there if you want to grab it now

thanks

alex

AshuraX · February 11, 2014

Maybe a 16:10 Bezel version could be a good alternate?

AlexDC22 · February 13, 2014

One more done for the impossible TTX xD

Not actual game picture as it wouldnt let me take a picture lol...but thats how it looks minus the shitty quality game pic lol

Thanks

and enjoy.

Alex

Edit:

Just noticed that it works better without the bezel.ini...so if you downloaded the one with the bezel ini, just delete it if you are having issues with the screen overlapping

Thanks

AlexDC22 · February 16, 2014

Updated the first Post with the last 3 Bezels that remained, and a tutorial as to how to use them.

Please report back any issues.

Thanks.

Alex.
