Big Ass Emulator Disc 3<br />
<br />
<br />
It took a while, but BAED3 is here. I went through the entire MAME<br />
set to pick out the non-working games and lame porno games. I may <br />
have made a mistake or two, and there are also cases of non-working<br />
parent ROMs having to stay on the disc to enable their working clones to<br />
function, but I think it's safe to say that 99% of the games on the MAME <br />
disc work. After pulling all those out, I was left with about 6GB. <br />
From that, I took out all the CPS1/2/Neo Geo stuff and was left with 3.4GB. <br />
That's Disc A. <br />
<br />
Disc B is FBA-XXX, which is the CPS1/2/Neo Geo stuff, including the newer <br />
"banned" ROMs that aren't in the regular MAME set, like Metal Slug 5 and King of<br />
Fighters 2003. Unlike the MAME disc, I didn't go through the games on here<br />
with a fine-toothed comb, so there may be some games that don't work on the<br />
FBA-XXX disc. All the files on here have been verified with a ROM auditing<br />
tool, though, so hopefully there should be very few games that don't work. I <br />
did successfully test (test = goof around and play) the majority of the <br />
most popular games. <br />
<br />
Arcade ROMs use the old 8+3 naming convention, so that means that both<br />
discs of BAED3 can be easily put on your Xbox hard drive as-is, unlike <br />
BAED1 and 2, which required extensive renaming. <br />
<br />
<br />
Quick Instructions:<br />
<br />
Disc A (MAME):<br />
<br />
The first time you use it, it automatically will scan the disc for ROM files<br />
and place that list into a gamesave file so it doesn't have to be done again.<br />
After this, you'll have your list of games. Press A to launch a game. It'll<br />
ask you to type OK to indicate you legally own the game. Just push the left<br />
analog stick Left, then Right, to do this. <br />
To "insert a coin" press Back.<br />
To pause your game, press Back+Black at the same time.<br />
To exit from a game back to the menu, press Back+Start at the same time. <br />
For other configuration options and details, see Help section in the game and<br />
explore the options and mess around.<br />
<br />
Disc B (FBA-XXX)<br />
<br />
The games here are split into different menus by system. You've got CPS1, CPS2,<br />
Neo-Geo, and Other. To cycle between the different menus, press the triggers.<br />
Like in MAME, you press A to launch the game and Back to insert a coin. Unlike <br />
MAME, you don't have to "type OK." When playing, press the right control stick<br />
in like a button to pause the game and bring up a menu that will allow you to <br />
change a lot of options, and also exit back to the game menu.<br />
<br />

There are several people and groups without whom BAED3 wouldn't have been possible:<br />
<br />
The MAMEoX team<br />
Xport, who updated MAMEoX<br />
The FBA-XXX team<br />
PRican25, for the FBA-XXX build with banned ROM support, and for helping me<br />
out with several files and some good tips<br />
Thraxen, for maintaining the MAMEoX vm.txt, and also helping me out with some files<br />
ZL1 and Glitch for a couple other hard-to-find files<br />
Everyone on the forums at 1emulation.com and xbox-scene.com (never ask about banned ROMs<br />
on xbox-scene)<br />
Countless posters to the alt.binaries.emulators.neogeo, a.b.e.mame., and a.b.e.misc groups<br />
