stigzler Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Overview TypeXtra was designed to make setting up TypeX and Nesica Systems more straightforward. There are lots of different game sets out in the wild, so setup can be quite a confusing job. This aims to make it a few clicks job. TypeXtra does not come with any "ROMS." That would be illegal. If you own the system you are aiming to emulate, then you can secure a "ROM" image of the game to emulate on your PC. Once you have the ROM/s you want, TypeXtra aims to make setup a 3 step process: Point it to the directory/s in which your ROM/s reside Click "Autoscan." It will automatically identify most games if their folders contain a game.inf file (some roms don't) Click "Setup Games" to install an assured set of support files which will make the game run. This does depend on your ROM files Features Import other "Game Service" sets - ones that are designed to ensure games boot OK. Some of these have modified game executables, therefore they're not included with this distribution. However, see elsewhere for instructions on obtaining and importing. Import "HD Exe" sets. The original game executables ran at lower resolutions. Some modified executables have been produced to have these games work at higher resolutions (not just stetch to fill your display, but to actually render at higher resolutions). Customise what files launch the game, what file to monitor for the game ending and what controls setting application to use on a game-per-game basis. Runs invisibly from command line - once you have your games set up, send it the short ort long game name and it will boot the game and close itself once the game executable has stopped. This helps with front end setups, where the front end will monitor for the temrination of the launch application (in this case, TypeXtra). Create shortcuts pointing towards the game launch files in either the 'long' or 'short' game format. This can be used to have a front end launch a file directly by executing the shortcut, or, more helpfully, get the correct command line parameter to pass to TypeXtra to launch the game. Audits the exe files and compares against a database of known working vs known rubbish roms (database in early stages) Screenshot Video Download and further info https://sites.google.com/view/magoarcade/software/typextra Edited December 31, 2017 by stigzler 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesBond@ge Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Hello Stigzler. I've seen you around somewhere else :-) (not Hyperspin). This looks great. The Taito Type X thing has always been something that has completely eluded me. This will give me motivation to try and set it up. Thanks.

Fablog Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Hi @stigzler, Thanks a lot for Typextra!! Do you know why the scan find all my Nesica games but none of my Type X? (I found them on a russian cloud). For example, Gigawing generations (Simply Austin) have a game.inf with that inside: F9 9D A9 35 25 A2 64 F0 30 8C 7A 66 17 66 A3 7E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fablog Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigzler Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 If your set doesn't have the right game.inf you can just point tx to the game folder manually. Via the folder icon beneath the game info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stigzler Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Sorry, but I can't. Not sure these are available anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legolas119 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 ah really? It could be very useful with games like Chaos Breakers because it is a good game but in a really low resolution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stigzler Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Seek and ye shall find. Emuline might be a good place to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legolas119 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) yes, they provided this link: (LINK REMOVED) In the pack I find game.exe files for some games: i tried to overwrite the default game.exe file with this new updated version in order to have the HD resolution..but nothing changed... Chaos Breaker isn't present in this list, anyway: it is present in the folder named "svpatches": here i can find additional game.exe files for some games, Chaos Breakers included. But i don't know if this file can add the HD resolution...what is the SVPatch? Edited March 31, 2020 by Retro808 Removed link. Do not link to game files. HD Packs can contain protected game data.
